Foundational Layers

Gregorian 2012 is here and for me has been heralding its presence since the end of Samhain - the roar is still going as we move toward the Chinese Chūn Jié - Spring Festival the end to the winter season and the Year of The Dragon . While neither a follower of Celtic or Chinese practices this Native America Kemetic priestess is enchanted to enjoy and resonate to the earthly cycles represented by each. Today its about cleaning and cleansing - cementing another layer on my spiritual foundation for this coming year.  I began this years journey with the earthly union to my spirit mate last year in May.  Truly he is the binder in who I am and who I will be.  For his God and my Goddess brought this union to earthly fruition and strengthen us to sing as the one soul we are.  He is the Sun of my Soul gifted from RA.

So much went out with the old  - Osiris started cleaning house last summer.  "Friends" came and went. So thankful Osiris removed a few who I found repulsive on a moral and ethical note.  By morals I mean all morals. Those who are perverted and deceitful I find disgust my soul, thus my deities swiftly dealt with them. Some connections I allowed only to wonder if I did the right thing. I forged new associations that have made my soul sing and have only become deeper. Some connections were extremely surface and have afforded me intense amusement. Sad to say some connections within the "community" were distressing to experience, a few I came across was nothing more than dealing with a facade and them protecting their viewpoint irregardless of others, hating being disagreed with and definitely lacking focus to further true knowledge.  Most truly I learned more from their going than from the time of interaction. Blessing from Osiris in their going.



This Year of The Dragon is not about passivity its about action, we are ending the Wood cycle transitioning to the Fire - fantastic unpredictability is the theme in 2012.  Its also not about what was removed in 2011, that's so last year.  This year is about strengthening those connections that push my boundaries in a positive manner, nurturing those people, events and environments that support me and my bid to be a better human.  I am not interested in balance.  Being in balance is an illusion, MAYBE I will allow it is that in SEEKING balance we begin to make ourselves better.  We live in a universe of duality/polarity.  Change is the only thing that remains the same.  For me to be in balance is to be static, in stasis, not growing.  It is the human condition to seek, to strive, to yearn - curiosity was never born from balance. Balance does not push our boundaries causing us to grow. To be in harmony does not mean the same, for different notes make the beauteous composition.  I do not desire to sing my song as others do.  Most truly my best creations come at a time when I am pushed, lack sleep and/or have other pressing commitments.  But to sing with others who have found their own voice - this is divine communion.

This year for me will be about reforging my relationship with my Deities to strengthen that foundational layer.  Isis has been in my life since I was 9, Osiris for over 3 decades and RA {The Great Spirit - God}has been with me always.  But to wish for a deeper connection, a wiser understanding, a communion of souls; this is my goal, to chase this actively, pushing myself.  This year will be magnificent, flamboyant, unpredictable and laborious.  But I excel under hard work - bring it on.  Knowing I have my deities and my spirit mate - do I need anything else? Not at all - strengthening the tie that binds to these beings is what my soul will live for in 2012.

RA  Isis and Osiris
