For those who came to New Moon Restorative Astrological Yoga. Full Moon's are the time
to reconnect with New Moon Intention and feel into where we are NOW.
to in some way honor and align with the Full Moon in a way that stays attuned to New Moon Intention and mid wives it from the gathering part of the lunar cycle to the letting go and integrating part of the lunar cycle

before the next New Moon.

Blessings and peace

Philosopher's Stone

Alchemical Recipe

from my dream


Philosopher's Stone
work with small gems of amber
dissolve into gold.

Three steps

1. incubate a dream ( intention/honoring/breathing into/receptive to)
2. Receive the dream - open to this communication
3. Honor the dream in some tangible and tangibly creative way.

one of infinite ways is to write something...perhaps a haiku..or whatever you feel moved to write...and then be with it through the next day , life, moment, whatever
but stay connected to the message.

it might be coming to you from the Galactic Center
definitely from the Mysterium Magnum.

dream deeply...journey well.

Mercury/Hermes God of Liminal Space and Alchemy

We are born at a given moment

in a given place and like vintage years of wine
we have the qualities of the year and of the
season in which we are born. C.J. Jung



Hello

Exploring astrological midpoints at the moment.
feels related to my work of Symbolic Bridging.
What is the bridge between any two things or no things.
how to best use the creative imagination to integrate
and alchemically transform the two by the third.
fecund and fun.

Taught Yoga and Pilates on the ball tonight.
Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven
which in Yoga is the spine
which brings us back to the vintage
years in which each of us was born.

and to the alchemy of creating and refining really
sublime wine/Alchemical Elixir.

spell check tried to change Zepplin to Joplin

who would have thought.
a muse ing.

Once Upon a Timing

First Quarter Moon April 16th 7:38am

Hello

feeling the dynamic tension between Ares Sun and Cancer Moon at the Square that is the First Quarter.

The Fire Intention at New Moon now meets and is challenged by the feelings of Cancer. Where is home now? What is Sanctuary. What needs nurturing and can only be experienced, embodied, sensed.

What was your New Moon Intention. What does it look like through the watery lens of the Cancer Moon. - Tarot card is Chariot - Victory through knowing the boundaries.

and remembering/High Priestess what we are cultivating.

this cycle you might have noticed I am cultivating Green..- what is most lush, healing, alive, verdant, fecund, fertile and nourishing...

we shall see
letting the presence of the Moon and her subtle senses remind and yet
contain and continue Ares wonderful inspired Flame. Sacred Geometry
of angles and angling for a really wonderful Lunar Cycle.

Fire and Water - steam - what do we do when there is steam.


and lead too. Saturn is in cancer.
conjunct the first quarter moon. We are asked to structure the day of first quarter in a way that honors discipline and feels nourishing, containing and still exciting too.

enjoy the day.

ENTELECHY

Entelechy - in the philosophy of Aristotle,
the condition of a thing whose essence is fully realized,
actuality.

how does one cultivate Entelechy

being fully present now

in this moment

this breath

this absolutely unique combination of energies

to perceive, discern and FEEL into
this particular matrix resonance
wordless knowing, gathering, honoring, aligning,celebrating

relaxing into a new world - awareness that this moment has never been before -
there is no thing that can definine it

and then enjoying it as deeply as there is opening to fully enjoy and embody
now.

blessings on Entelechy in this and all moments.

may the deep dance be one of well being,
may it ever more freely remind
us of who we are a breath at a time.

i came to remind you who you are.

namaste

Once upon a timing


"Only in the double kingdom, there along

Pan, Chiron, Threshold Crossings and liminal haiku

Pan, Chiron, Threshold Crossings and Life

Pan, Panacea, Panic, Pandemonium, Pandorla mmmmm

Morning

the haiku of this morning
rests nestled in the stillness of this Morning
Moon is in Pisces at this moment

water water water water - very deep water
before it moves into Ares/Fire/Flames igniting inspired Visions and Envisioning

Mercury is still retrograde.
translation it is a dreamy internal kind of a day...Yet somehow containing the nascent
arrows of pure spring light that we soon will aim in pure centaur fashion
once again towards

the quintessential epicenter of our soul's truest dreams
envision well

let today's depth nourish the roots of the arrow that we will aim and then add fire
to the letting it move skyward at the new moon.

more hear (smile) soon and in other sections of my site.
Symbolicbridging.com

enjoy the daze in all ways
long deep inhale - exhale and now.

ah yes, and then there is Pan.
teaching Pan Thursday next.
mandorla becoming pan dour la pan has to do
with mirth and rebirth and infinitely more chthonic earthy things.

today pan and the centaurs are doing lunch with pegasus.

and you?

Amulets, Talismans, Esoteric Haiku and you?

Hello Hello Hello Hello

all right then - which fonts can serve as amulet's

and which as Talisman's

and then there is the Esoteric Haiku

today - if you e-mail me an esoteric haiku
i will e-mail one of my own especially for you.

in the Celtic spiral that re turns us to
AMULET'S AND TALISMAN'S

an Amulet is to protect, to shield - to align with spaciousness to naturally heal and whole and freedom to be

a Talisman is when wants to go traveling, exploring in different spheres, worlds, vibrations - it catalyzes openings, awakenings, expansive magic.

amulet - inner grounding, earth healing- chiron calling
embodying and shielding the nascent and that which needs to know it
is able to relax safely

talisman - projects with exquisite courage and opens infinite doorways

This Morning
this is my experience of
how the containment and amulet qualities of an esoteric haiku
can transform into a talisman connecting , opening, marveling
at the many worlds contained in one
word or font and
all ways
this moment

blessings on this day
namaste
Larkin
