Transparent egg of light

Illumines the heart,

Focalising knowledge of the inner mysteries,

While nature rejoices.

Standing alone on the fertile land

The angelic maiden receives from above

The Divine Heavenly Light streaming around her 

And she accepts this blessing with love.

In one hand she holds a sphere of light

In the other an ear of corn

These symbols denote her fertility

As she waits for her fruits to be born.

Surrounded by creatures with long pointy ears

Accepting her fate with serenity

At her feet lie the book telling her story

Is she Demeter or is she Persephone?

London 2.1.2014

 

 

 

 

 

Hold dear

 

Keep warm

Fertile eggs

Breed geometry

 

She takes care

Measures growth

Patiently

 

Winged earth

Feather light

Surely adept

Virgo

 

I count the heads of corn, sift grains of wheat.

 

The harvest is well timed, wisely weighed.

 

The weather is on the turn and we each do our part.

 

I sweep the kitchen, light the flame in the hearth.

Slowing the mind-spin

Mercurial perception gently measures

the finest gifts, and energies

 

inform my body, winged for landing

 

in ceremony I recognise

 

the goddess story, 

 

alchemical fascination knows

 

the light being, That I AM

O Sacred Body

You hold the flame of spirit

Within the egg of time, transparent

To your inward gaze.

 

You look with veiled eyes,

As the star shines above your crown

And you seek ways to render in form

That which enflames from within.

 

The mind serves the Light

And applies this knowledge to Life.

 

Melanie, Old Warden, 1.1.2016

 

 

 

Isis falls from mystic void

 

To take a form divine

 

Two pillars frame her stately pose

 

With gnosis born from inner light

 

The scrolls inscribed from Tree of Life

 

Shall feed her soul through day’s dark night

Temple keeper

at one with earth and heaven

Beneath wings

no fear of wild terrain

Star blessing

Virgo 

 

rules without flesh, the harvest queen,

 

who must decide upon the fate of each grain,

 

 is it seed?  Is it gruel for the winter feast?

 

Hermes' invention:  all whirling mind and virgin birth.

 

She who plucks her breast until she bleeds,

 

who transforms and weights, and is the doctor.

 

the bird of the woods who knows love, but mistakes

 

the object.  and climbs the tree of life

 

over and over to find the fertilized egg,  the homunculus.
