ART of Becoming a Witch 6

Description

WitchArt Gift #6: The Memory of Reverence ∞ Devotion 

What is Devotion? What is Reverence? How are they interwoven? What is the Memory of Life? Who is Eterna? What can we learn from the Elements about the nature of life and devotion? What does it mean to live a life of reverence and devotion? These are a few of the massive questions we will explore as we walk the sixth circuit of the ancient labyrinth. 

Listen to Isis-She who is all that was, all that is, all that ever shall be-speak as reported by Apuleius (c. 124-170 CE) in The Golden Ass

“I am Nature, mother of all, mistress of elements, daughter of time. I control the realms of spirit. I am sovereign of death. I am queen of the immortals. I am all gods and goddesses at once. By a gesture I command the shining vault of the sky, the gentle breezes of the sea, even the dark silence of the underworld. I am worshiped everywhere. … So dry your tears now. All things will soon change for you, as under my watchful light your life is restored, renewed.”

Foundational Truths we will explore together in ART 6

ART 6 is a path of remembering and discovery, not facts, knowledge, or teaching. The information we seek is not held in physical books, not even ancient esoteric ones. The information we seek is Morphic. Akashic. Ancestral. Elemental. Eternal. To find it, we will ask Eterna to carry us back to a time before patriarchy when humanity was utterly devoted to the Goddess and the sacred treasure of life in the feminine. But we won’t stop there. Eterna will guide us further back to the memory of life before humans, before animals, even before plants. She will guide us all the way to the building blocks of life, the sacred elements. Eterna dropped a not-so-subtle hint when she announced her name, Eterna: Her Memory of Life.

Here are a few mysteries of life we will ponder together:

Reverence Structure 

• • Before patriarchy and its obsession with domination and war, humanity lived in peace-centric, earth-based, matrilineal communities-not a power structure, a reverence structure.

• The purpose of The Witch Sequence is to activate our WitchArts to heal the wasteland and create a modern reverence structure-Her Garden of Reverence.

Interrelationship of Reverence ∞ Devotion

• Devotion and reverence are interwoven-you cannot have reverence without devotion or devotion without reverence.
• Awareness and attention are the foundations of reverence and devotion, so that’s where we begin. When we shift our awareness and focus our attention, the world changes. 

Her Libraries of Fire, Air, Earth, Water 

• The elements of Fire, Air, Earth, and Water contain the memory of all life not just before patriarchy, but before humans.  
• Her Libraries’ locked vaults hold the seeds each of us is being asked to plant to create Her Garden of Reverence.

The Labyrinth and Time

• The labyrinth is a morphic field holding echoes from the ancient past and possible future.
• Time is a mystery flowing along the conundrum we call the Mobius Strip, demonstrating that past, present, and future are one living, inter-becoming whole.

1. Explore the interrelationship of Devotion, Reverence, Attention, and Awareness 
2. Remember how humanity lived in devotion-infused reverence cultures before patriarchy

6. Meet and merge with Eterna: Her Memory of Life
7. Receive insight and guidance on Reverence ∞ Devotion from three Goddess asteroids in your natal chart: Vesta, Ceres, Haumea
8. Ceremonially plant your Elemental Seeds in Her Garden where they will germinate for 130 days until we gather in ART 7 to awaken, remember, and trust Dragon 

Eterna: Her Memory of Life

At the entrance to each circuit of The Witch Sequence labyrinth, we are greeted by an Oracle who accompanies us throughout the intensive.
Aurora: Oracle of Intuition helped us activate our natural intuitive senses.
Mystica: Oracle of the Thresholds helped us awaken our innate ability to crisscross the thresholds between worlds.
Origina: The Memory of Prayer led us deep into the memory that prayer, like mitochondria, is our vital life force, alive in every cell of our bodies.
Magdala: Oracle of the Sacrament of Remembering welcomed us into a deep exploration of Myrrhophore Anointing.
Fortuna: Oracle of Oracles awakened our oracular divination arts
