When Two Suns Rise: Sirius and the Planetary New Year

When Two Suns Rise: Sirius and the Planetary New Year

The end of July is celebrated as the Planetary New Year because many of the ancient Time Keeper races on the Earth recognized this as the moment when an important New Cycle of Evolutionary Time was initiated. This period was also associated with what was known as the “Lion’s Gate”, the historical moment when the constellation of Leo aligned with the Pyramid complex at Giza. But you might ask, why is that important to me in the year 2015?

This is because the Planetary New Year celebrates the moment when the Blue Star Sirius rises in the morning sky at the same time and in nearby location to our Sun. It is the time when Earth has Two visible “suns” in the sky. The one sun is Golden, and the other is Blue in Frequency. This conjunction of Stars celebrates the long connection between Earth, and its Sun, and the Star System of Sirius.

In Ancient Egypt, in the post Atlantean civilization that sprang up on the banks of the Nile, the heliacal rising of Sirius, as it is known, also marked the time when the Nile River rose, due to rains in Central Africa, and flooded the plains of Egypt so that crops could be grown. The rising of the waters signified the return of Abundance and Blessings to the land, and this was also associated with Sirius and it’s helical rising in the East.

Sirius has long been a guiding light and force in the Evolution of the Earth. There were many powerful Star Teachers that came to the Earth to assist Humanity, and they were believed to be “gods”. These teachers included the Beings known as Isis and Osiris, who brought the arts of agriculture and learning to the peoples of Ancient Egypt to assist them to reconstruct their world after the trauma of the Atlantean catastrophe. And now,at this time, we are told that the Sirian Master Teachers are returning to our world to assist us with aligning our frequencies with the incoming Diamond Light that is raising the frequency of our Planet and of Humanity.

The Gold Sun and the Blue Sun

As Master teachers, the Sirians brought information to the Ancient Egyptians that helped them to remember who they were and where they were going. They taught them the principles of Ascension, and these were recorded in papyrus texts and on pyramid and temple walls. They reminded us all that our bodies are from the Earth but our Souls are from the Stars.

In recent years, they have also reminded us that everything is energy and frequency, and that ascending or raising our consciousness means that we can align ourselves with the frequencies that are coming from the Cosmic Heart and the Galactic Center ,and that are raising the frequency of our Light Bodies and our Physical bodies and DNA.

It was the Sirians who first taught us about the “Christ Consciousness” that was embodied in the Golden Light of the Sun. The Gold Frequency was Divine Light and it carried the energy of Divine Love and Compassion. As Humanity opened themselves to receive more of the transmissions of the Divine Light and more of the Light Codes that would elevate consciousness, they embraced the Gold Light and activated the Light Body and Multi-dimensional consciousness. The first Sirian Avatars of the Christ Consciousness were Isis and her partner Osiris, who brought the Golden Light to Egypt. The second Sirian Avatars were Yeshua, known as Jesus, and his partner, Mary Magdalene. Together they embodied the Divine Masculine and Feminine frequencies of the Gold Frequency of the Christ Consciousness.

The Blue Sun was Sirius itself, and it carried the Blue Frequency of that Star System also known as the “Blue Star”. This deep Blue Light carried the Codes of an advanced race of Light Beings who were in the service of the Divine Plan and the Evolution of the Galaxy and the Earth. The rising of the Blue Sun indicated another cycle of Light, Love and Support from the Sirian Master Teachers on the Path of Evolution. Following this event, those on the Earth could expect great blessings and abundance in their lives.

You might wonder what happened? Why was this teaching lost and why is it only now being recovered as we move into the Ascension process? Well, in the Ancient Egyptian world the Sacred duties of the Master Teachers was disrupted by a corrupt priesthood that had an agenda of control mostly through the manipulation of sexual energies. Since this world is a free will zone, Humanity was left to carry on its path and the Sirian Master Teachers withdrew from Egypt. The arrival of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene represented another opportunity to anchor and ground the Golden Frequency. Initially this was achieved, after the death of Yeshua, by Mary Magdalene, who carried the teachings to France and into Europe. But again, a corrupt priesthood arose that ended the line of Mary Magdalene in the 12th Century with the Albigensian Crusade.

Now, in 2015, we are being given the chance to live the process of integrating the Gold Frequency in the process of Ascension. And, as the Blue Sun rises in the morning sky, we are reminded that waves of Love and Blessings are pouring out to us from the Sun, from Sirius, from the Great Central Sun at the Center of the Galaxy, and from the Cosmic Sun or Heart.The Blue Sun represents the Love and Support of advanced beings of Light who have incarnated on Earth or who have guided consciousness in other ways in order to achieve this moment of deep change when the Earth is ready to become a Body of Light and a Multi-dimensional Blue and Gold Star.

The Lion’s Gate

After the Planetary New Year on the 26th of July, there is a powerful Portal or Vortex that opens which allows these new Light Codes to flood into the Earth grids.  The constellation of Leo no longer aligns with the rising Sun as time has passed. But, the energy of the Lion is what is important at this vortex.

The Lion is the Frequency Keeper of Africa, and of course Egypt is part of Africa. The Spirit Keeper of the Portal is the Spirit Animal that guards the integrity of the African continent. The Lion also represents  Spiritual Power, and Yeshua/Jesus was known as the “Lion of Judah”, as the representative of the Sirian avatar line on Earth.

So, the “Lion’s Gate” is that moment when this portal opens to allow new Codes and new Information that will be the template for the year ahead. The Royal Lion stands guard over the New Timeline. In Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the Gate was represented by two Lions who faced each other. They were known as the Lions of Yesterday and Tomorrow, and of course, it was “today” that came pouring through the gate. The Infinite “now” of present time that can be experienced as flow and creativity and blessings. The Lion’s Gate opens on the 26th of July, reaches its climax on the 8th of August, and closes on the 12th of August.

So it is, at this time, that there are many endings and new beginnings that go with the torrents of Light that come through the Lion’s Gate. Do not be sad or upset if these are intense times, they are meant to be. The power of new blessings is washing away what is no longer needed so that the new can be rooted and blessings result. In the Ancient Egyptian world this was clearly visible as the river flooded washing away the last of last years crops and depositing the rich red silt that would be the bed for the new seasons crops that would nourish the people and the land. In our time, the manifestation may not be so obvious, but we are going through the same intense process of ending and new beginnings for a richer and more abundant cycle ahead.

Ascension and the Master Teachers

Now, as we are in this wonderful process of the Ascension of our consciousness to higher frequencies, we are once again being aided and assisted by the Sirian Master Teachers. But, this time, we are not in a relationship of “gods” and “subjects”. We are ascending into our own power, and the Master Teachers are seen as guides and helpers, rather than “gods”.

As we recognize the Divine Flame within ourselves and as we embody the Higher Frequencies, including the Gold, Blue and Diamond Frequencies, we understand that Earth has “graduated” to a new level where the Sirian Master Teachers can be consulted as “Star Family” and “Star Elders”, but that it is we ourselves who must drive our own Evolution through our Intentions and our Choices.

The Master Teachers are here to hold “Master Classes”, to remind us who we are and to help us to step into our power, but we must be the ones who embody the Crystalline Rainbow  Frequencies of the New Earth.

This time of the Planetary New Year and the Lion’s Gate is an ideal time to embrace this truth and step into our Multi-dimensional Light and Power as Ascended Humans, as New Earth Souls who embody all the Higher Frequencies of Light that were gifted to us by the Star Teachers and Avatars to advance our Spiritual and Physical Evolution on Earth.

Lady A’s Spell of the Day for July 22nd – Herbal Talisman for Protection

Wiccan Woman and Dragons (GP)

Herbal Talisman for Protection

 

Cut a circle out of a piece of blue cloth. Fill the center of the cloth with 9 protective herbs. As you add the herbs recite:

“For protection I fill this circle of blue, For protection I use the herbs that I do.”

Tie the bundle with white or silver thread. Carry this charm with you when you feel the need. You may make the tie long enough to put around your neck, or keep it in your pocket.

I added my own touches to that spell and used a piece of cloth that had a design on it with only a small amount of blue, but made me feel safe. That is the most important part, use a color or design that makes you feel secure. I carry it with me in my purse, which goes everywhere I do. Since I have carried it (many months now) no harm has come to me. Be sure and charge it with protective energy!

The following spell is a prayer to the sun, for quick travel. I believe that a spell is a spell, it’s origin doesn’t matter. If you believe the spell will work, then it will. So, seeing as how this spell is from Aztec origin, I think that as a Wiccan it will still work for me and others as long as you believe.

Say:

“Sun, come help me. I’ll be the first, I’ll go first.

Then you, then you can go.

I’ll be the first to reach the end of all the desert lands, o

f all the canyon lands, passing over the earth’s smooth face.

Smooth or not smooth, She’ll never hurt me.

Right through the sky I’ll go. That’s where I’ll be.”

WOTC Extra – Making Chants

Simple Celtic Beauty

Making Chants

 

Now for the people who want to chant, learn chants, or make your own here are some tips. Keep these in mind when wanting to write your own chant,

Figure out the goal or intent of the working. What is it you wish to accomplish?

Determine what material components you’ll need to achieve the goal. For instance if you wish to have a gathering or full ritual to go along with the chant.

Decide if timing is important. Do you want to chant in the morning about self-motivation before a hard day? Do want to dance under a full moon chanting for a certain goal? Or it a simple chant for wherever you are?

Figure out what wording, do you want formal?To call on the elements? Spirits? Deities? Do you like rhymes, or melodies? The wording should have personal meaning to you and feel powerful. Decide what aspects you want to incorporate into the chant.

Now put it all together, just find way to write it down, and take your time to write words that will meet your goal and fulfill the various aspects you wanted to incorporate.

For example I will write an original chant right now for you, let’s say my goal is to be calmed. I wish to call on the element of earth. Timing for whenever I feel stressed, so I best keep it a short chant. If I can I do prefer rhymes.

Banish my stress

I call thee earth

End this mess

I know my worth’

Not very complicated chant is it? Chants are versatile and can be made to match your goals. You can be as in depth and complicated in the writing of a chant as you want or as simple as you want. The power behind a chant is your will, and visualizing. The words above are worthless unless I give them meaning and visualize myself calming down and the element of earth ground me.

In case you are self-conscious is chanting or singing out loud, I wish to tell you that culturally speaking we tend to tell the people who aren’t the best to move over, but that is not the case in Wicca. If you think you are bad singer/ chanter, bear in mind practice makes perfect. Even so, it isn’t how good you at it, how in tune you are, it is the intention. So if you want to belt out a chant full volume, do it. What others may think is not your concern. Being spiritual is about how you feel and connect, if chanting in a sing song voice while doing the dishes or during a ritual makes you happy and focuses your energy, do it.

Wiccan’s and Pagans come in varied paths, and just like any other group of people will have various personalities, but remember ‘do what ye will long as it harms none’ if someone bullies or is mean to you for your chanting, it only speaks of their personality, not yours. Chanting and Wiccan music-songs, it is for your benefit, to bring your goals into reality, to help keep you motivated. I encourage everyone who want to use chanting or make their own chants to speak them loud and clear, to let the energies flow.

 

 

Wiccan Chants and Incantations: Witchcraft for the Solitary Practitioner

Let’s Talk Witch – Chanting, The History

Simple Celtic Beauty

 Chanting, The History

 

Music has been around a long time in varying forms, chanting has been used for as long as Pagans have been around. The reason for chanting is energy building, focus, and even uniting together at gatherings. Chants come in long or short forms, can rhyme or not, and can even be made up. Though there are some common chants known that have been shared over and over among Pagans and Wiccans.

Chanting can hold a symbolic meaning, of becoming more in tuned with nature or deities, trances, spells. Can also be used to invoke powers, spirits, deities, and build our own energies. The reason songs and chants are important in ritual is that they help to control both breathing and thought. Using a song or a chant is a good method for focusing your mind. It is also particularly effective for building a group mind, since it is a good method of getting everyone breathing together and concentrating on one stream of consciousness, the important thing is the concentration, focus on the words and energy. This is how it builds. The type of song or chant you could use will depend on what you are trying to do. If you were doing power raising, you would want a song or chant that builds in strength until it reaches a climax. You would start off slow and gradually build up the tempo, driving it by swinging your hands to push the energy unto the center of the circle, until the level of energy has been achieved, and then release it. This is a basic and easy form of magic. Visualizing a goal or intention and chanting to bring the energies forth to make it happen.

Songs that are meant to be songs of worship or adoration may be solemn or they may be joyful, depending on the situation you want to create. For grounding, farewells or banishing’s, you should use slower songs that wind down the energies. Chanting is very versatile and can be used for any goal or cause. Chanting is used by Pagan’s, Wiccan’s, and Witchcraft. Not only that, but many other faiths use chanting as well. Even Christians sing hymns at Sunday worship. Music has been a great influence on how people worship.

Sometimes chants can be used instead of the usual spoken invocation for elements during casting circles, or other spell casts. Chanting may be something you do while alone, working out, making dinner, the great thing about it is how simple and versatile it is. Chanting is not only for ritual work, but self-motivation, calming, or prayer.

You may want to use chants made by others or make your own chants.

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days a Year – Concordia

Celtic Witch

July 22

Concordia

 

The oldest and main temple of Concordia was built or restored to commemorate the end of the struggle between the patricians and the plebeians. Concordia was the personification of concord and was sometimes identified with Homonoia, the Greek embodiment of harmony. Her temple stood on the northwestern side of the Forum Romanum in Rome, at the foot of Capitoline Hill, and was the site of the annual festival held in her honor on July 22. As with most Roman festivals, there would have been games and a sacrifice. This is a good time to rekindle an old friendship or begin new ones.

 

Wednesday Is Ruled By Mercury

Wiccan Woman and Wizard (GP)

Wednesday Is Ruled By Mercury

 

Wednesdays are wild and wacky days. They are for communication, change, cunning, and the arts. This is a Mercury day, and just its patron god this day is full of contradictions, change, and excitement. Some suggestions for Wednesday enchantments would include:

Pulling a little Wednesday color magic into your life by wearing purples or orange

Carrying a multipurpose agate with you and tapping into its various charms

Working with magical plants such as the fern for protection. This plant will also boost the power of any other magical plants with which it is arranged.

Incorporating lavender into charms and spells for transformation

Using the charming scent of lily of the valley to improve your memory, or working with the aspen tree for communication

Calling on Athena, patron of arts and crafts, for inspiration for a new project

Fanning out a Tarot spell to increase you creativity

Calling on Hermes on a Wednesday night to bring movement and good luck into your life

Seasons of the Witch – Legends and Lore, Ancient Holidays And Some Not So Ancient!

 

Today Is …

Nessie ~ On this date in the year 1930, the first sighting of the famous monster of Loch Ness was officially recorded in Scotland. Old Nessie (as the monster has been affectionately nicknamed) has since been witnessed by thousands of people and continues to attract countless numbers of tourists with cameras to Loch Ness each year.

Day Dedicated to Arinna – She is an Anatolia Sun Goddess. Spend as much of the day as you can in the sun or try starting a fire using a concave lens and the sun. Place a sunflower on your altar.

Horse God – On the 23rd day of the 6th lunar montyh, the Chinese honor the Horse-god (Mawang).

Blackburn, Bonnie & Leofranc Holford-Strevens, The Oxford Companion to the Year, Oxford University Press 1999

St Mary Magdalene – Today is the Feast day for St. Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene is the fallen woman who washed Christ’s feet with her tears and dried them with her hair; thus she is the patron saint of prostitutes. Because of her long hair she is the patron of hairdressers, and because her emblem is the ointment jar, she is the patron of apothecaries. She was also invoked for help with fasting. The red rose is her plant. For a new treatment of her story, see Clytie Kinstler’s The Moon Under Her Feet.

She may have been a devotee of Astarte. There is some connection between the seven demons which afflicted her, and the seven initiations Inanna undergoes in her descent to the Underworld and the seven veils which Salome wears in her famous dance. The village of Migdala (from whence her name) is the Village of Doves, which connects her with Anahit, the Persian goddess honored with a sacrifice of doves and roses at her midsummer festival (see Vartavar, July 28).

She has long been associated with dance and music. In Normandy, in the thirteenth century, nuns danced on her feast-day.

If it rains today, the English say that Mary Magdalen is washing her handkerchief to go to her cousin St James’s Fair in three days time. But heavy rain now can be disastrous for the harvest and the Cumbrians say:

A Magdalen flood

Never did good.

Tristram and Iseult ~ One of the greatest legends of Cornwall is the tragic tale of Tristram and Iseult – sometimes known as Tristan and Isolde. The story is that Tristram, the nephew of King Mark of Cornwall, was mortally wounded in a fight where he killed the brother of the Queen of Ireland. As he was expected to die, he was sent out to sea in a boat without sails. By chance, the boat reached the shores of Ireland, where he was nursed back to health by the beautiful Iseult, daughter of the King of Ireland.

To cut a long story short, Tristram could not stay in Ireland as he was responsible for the death of the Queen’s brother, so he returned to Cornwall. A little later, King Mark sent him back to Ireland to bring back Iseult who was to be his queen. On the way back, the couple accidentally drank a love potion intended for Mark and Iseult on their wedding night.

The young couple fell deeply in love and carried on an illicit affair even after she married. King Mark became suspicious and although Iseult managed to allay these suspicions, Tristram left the country. He married a Breton girl, who was also called Iseult, but he never stopped loving the Queen of Cornwall. When he was wounded in battle, he sent for her to heal his wounds and asked that a white sail be flown from the ship if she was on board when it returned.

Tristram’s jealous wife told him that the returning ship flew only a black sail and he died of grief. When Iseult heard of his death, she died of a broken heart. A cross at Castle Dor is said to mark the grave of Tristram.

Wednesday Witchery

 

Be bold and daring today! Expand your knowledge of the Craft by working with the planetary energies of Mercury on this multifaceted day of the week. Consider the Greco-Roman gods Mercury and Hermes and all of the many lessons they have for you. Embrace change and movement, and work on your communication techniques. Conjure up a little good luck for yourself with that Mercury dime spell. Call on Athena to inspire you to try magickal arts and crafts and to be more creative in your own spellwork and witchery.

Meditate on Odin and see what you can discover about him. I wonder what sort of fabulous and fascinating magickal wisdom you will uncover? Odin is a shaman, after all; he may appear in many guises and faces. I guarantee that he will make you laugh at yourself before he is through with you, but you will learn. It’s up to you what you do with that knowledge. Will you let it shapeshift into wisdom?

Wednesday is the wild and wily day of the week, so try to go with the flow; don’t fight the quirky energies of the day. Most importantly, follow your heart, and always keep a good sense of humor, because of Wednesdays you will really need it.

Wednesday

 

 

Ruler: Wodin, Mercury

Colors: Orange, light blue, and gray

Power Hours: Sunrise and the 8th, 16th, and 24th hours following

Keywords: Success, creativity, communication

The word Wednesday is reminiscent of the Norse wind god Wodin, which is referenced in the popular rhyme verse “Wednesday’s child is full of woe.” This does not mean that those born on this day are full of sorrow or trouble. To be full of Wo (Wodin) means to be full of wind, to be spirited. Woden was such a powerful pagan god that the German church fathers changed the name of his day to Mittwoch, meaning midweek, in an attempt to exorcise his influence.

In the Spanish word for Wednesday, miercoles, we clearly see its connection to Mercury. Under the guidance of Mercury; Wednesday is a day of swift activity, communication, correspondence, and phone calls. This is a good day for journalists, writers, poets, bargaining, hiring employees, and visiting friends.

On Wednesdays, the hour of sunrise and every eight hours after that are also ruled by Mercury, making these times of the day doubly blessed. These are the strongest four hours for ritual work. Check your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine when sunrise occurs.

It’s Wednesday, my dear, precious family! May You Have A Very Blessed Day!

witchcraft

Goddess, give us strength

To cope with the conditions that surround us

To be brave in the face of adversity

To do our best under trying circumstances.

 

Goddess, give us courage

To go forth into a difficult world

To face the ignorance of other

To continue to strive for our own improvement.

 

Goddess, give us patience

With our shortcomings and those of others

With pain, frustration and setbacks

With the limitations we must deal with daily.

 

Goddess, give us hope

The we may maintain a positive attitude

That we may greet each & every day with renewed spirit

And that we might remain open to the possibility of miracles.

 

 

So Mote It Be.

And Last But Not Least, A Few Goodies To Pamper Yourself With….

the

Even the busiest of witches deserves a little pampering now and again. Take a moment out of your busy schedule to try a few of these goodies out. Enjoy!

 

~Harmonious Milk Bath~

2 cups dry milk powder

1/8 teaspoon fragrance oil of your choice

Mix together all ingredients…well.

Add ½ cup of mixture to hot bath water.

 

~Make Your Skin Soft Bath~  

Add ¼ cup of Apple Cider Vinegar to a bath. Use this in place of store bought bubble bath, harsh oils and other chemicals that can cause urinary tract problems and yeast infections.

 

~Honey Bath~  

*Author’s Note: I am not fond of honey in the bath and have never used this recipe, but would be remiss if I didn’t add it, for those who do like honey and wish to try their hand at using it

Add ¼ cup or so of honey to your bath. Remember that honey is sticky! If you feel the need to wash off afterward, don’t feel badly. Simply use your bag of soap scraps for bathing!

 

~A Relaxing Bath~  

½ cup fresh or ¼ cup dried herbs of your choice

½ cup fresh or ¼ cup dried chamomile tea (simply add the tea bag to the bigger bag!)

Add the fresh or dried herbs to the bag and close snugly. Add to bathwater and allow it to steep for at least 15 minutes. Take this time to relax and enjoy the scents that will surround you. If you’d like, use the bag of herbs as a scented washcloth!

 

Flower Bath/Herb Bath  

No need for a muslin bag or other bag, just make sure that you are prepared to clean up if you use these oh-so relaxing ways, to refresh your body and spirit. Throw a hand full of your favorite flowers or herbs, in your bathtub and soak until your heart is content.

Remember to make certain they are pure, and not chemically treated! The following are always good: chamomile, lavender, rose, daisy, and dandelion, just to name a few. Don’t want to waste the flowers or herbs, after you have used them? Easy! Just strain the bath water with a piece of fabric as it drains and then dry them and use the herbs/flowers in potpourri!
