Arthur Edward Waite (1880)
Arthur Edward Waite was a scholarly American mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. He was the first to attempt a systematic study of the history of Western occultism, viewed as a spiritual tradition rather than as aspects of proto-science or as the pathology of religion. […]

From the distance, as if through a tunnel, I began to hear a chanting. Slowly, it became louder so that I could understand what was being said.

I got up at four this morning to go to the high place where I watch Her star in its heliacal rising. Alas, Portland did its mostly cloudy thing and all I could see was an occasional glimpse of the moon and one of the stars in Orion’s belt. So I came home, went to Her temple, opened the doors and illuminated Her lamps. She shines diamond bright, even when I cannot see Her.
I know this because I have experienced it many times. Perhaps I can’t sense Her in my life at a particular moment, yet I know She is there. Just because there are obscuring clouds in my world, doesn’t mean She doesn’t shine. And this just may be a drop of wisdom, born of both knowledge and experience.

In my own work with Isis over the years, I have come to settle on four qualities that seem to me to capture much of Her “flavor” for me. They are power, wisdom, love, and magic.
When we first come to Isis, we often immediately perceive Her love, flowing out to us, enfolding us in Her sheltering wings. We are warmed in Her love. We rest in Her wings.
Her power reveals itself later.
First, there is Her metaphysical power. This is the power that blows my hair back, makes we want to “kiss the ground before Your beautiful face,” as the ancient texts put it. This power makes me gasp, thrills my body and makes me shiver. Before this power, I can say only, “yes, Goddess.” And rejoice. Sometimes there’s a…

A friend of this blog asked a very interesting question. She asked how we can reconcile the idea that Isis is both Mother of All with the idea that Isis has a mother Herself. It’s a question I’ve been wanting to work on ever since it was asked, so with this post I’m finally getting around to it.
It’s a very interesting question because it has to do with our conception of the nature of the Divine and Divine Beings in general.
So how do we start to look at this?
For me, history is always a good place to begin. It gives us a useful foothold to know what our ancestors thought about these things; after all,when it comes to Divinity and Divine Beings, we human beings have been thinking about thisfor a very long time indeed.

Lionsgate opens every year on August 8th to the 12th, when the Sun is in Leo and is marked by the star Sirius moving closer to earth and aligning in Orion’s belt, which perfectly syncs up with the Pyramids in Giza.
Sirius’ energy is all about awakening to new frequencies, energetic potentials and a higher consciousness at an accelerated rate.
When Sirius is close, he bathes planet Earth with power, potential and a new stream of consciousness that will allow us all to activate our third eye chakra and to tap into the limitless energy of our being.
During this time we are all going to be reminded that we are connected to the Universe and that we hold an innate wisdom and power to create our own reality through our thoughts and perceptions.
We may also feel a deeper sense of connectedness to the Universe and that we are not the only intelligent beings in this cosmic world.
The ability to cross other dimensions and astral travel will also be strong at this time, as many believe that the activation of Lionsgate can blur the lines across different dimensions and frequencies.
The appearance of extraterrestrial activity may also be higher than usual and those who are sensitive to spirit energies may encounter strange experiences or even stranger beings.
Those who identify as being Starseeds will also be feeling this energy strongly and are likely to receive information or downloads about their purpose.
Starseeds are those who feel they come from a different planet or that they don’t really belong. Most of them report having the same reoccurring dream about being sent to Earth by extraterrestrial life for a specific mission.
Essentially, Starseeds are evolved beings who are here to assist the planet in raising consciousness. Those who resonate with this are likely to fulfil part of their journey or purpose through the opening of the Lionsgate portal.

Two prayers for alchemists from Über die Zauberkräfte der Natur, Munich, 1819, translated by Joscelyn Godwin]
I.
1. Light Supreme, who art the Divine in Nature and dwellest in its innermost parts as in Heaven, hallowed be thy qualities and laws!
2. Wherever thou art, all is brought to perfection; may the realm of thy Knowledge become subject unto thee.
3. May our will in all our work be only thee, self-moving Power of Light! And as in the whole of Nature thou accomplishest all things, so accomplish all things in our work also.
4. Give us of the Dew of Heaven, and the Fat of the Earth, the Fruits of Sun and Moon from the Tree of Life.
5. And forgive us all errors which we have committed in our work without knowledge of thee, as we seek to turn from their errors those who have offended our precepts. And leave us not to our own darkness and our own science, but deliver us from all evil through the perfection of thy Work, Amen.
Hail, pure self-moving Source, O Form, pure for receiving the Light! The Light of all things unites itself with thee alone.
Most blessed art thou among all receptive forms, and blessed is the Fruit that thou conceivest, the Essence of Light united with warm substance.
Pure Form, Mother of the most perfect Being, lift thyself up to the Light for us, now as we toil and in the hour when we complete the Work!
Yes, yes, yes. It is getting to be that time. That time when She rises early, early in the dawning light. It’s the best thing that happens in August as far as I’m concerned. While everything else starts to crisp in the late summer heat, I am refreshed in Her rising power.
Here in Portland, Oregon in 2019, Sirius rises at 4:31 in the morning of August 23rd. Further south, She rises earlier. It all depends on your latitude. You can calculate Her rising in your area here with this online calculator. If you’d like to celebrate Isis’ birthday, then it would be two days before the rising of Sirius, in this case, August 21. So Isis is a Leo (at least at this latitude.) And well, She is Isis-Sakhmet, after…

“Earth symbolizes the natural crystalline densities created out of Spirit’s energies and sustained by the beings of the elemental kingdom. These tiny creators, in their mimicry of human discord, have transferred to nature mankind’s inharmonious patterns. Thus the convergence of human error upon the planetary body came forth as thorn, thistle, insect, and beast of prey [as well as tornado, hurricane and earthquake]. It is this discord imposed upon the very atoms of substance which the alchemist must remove from his/her embodied laboratory before he/she can create. It is this dross which the walking alchemist will purify with fire. All inner impurities will be burned from you by the Baptism of fire when you choose this path–only then will your outer world be cleansed and harmonious–when your inner world is.”
— book excerpt from Saint Germain on Alchemy
The Chi Rho is developed from the Ankh itself which in turn forms the basis for the fleur de lys. In Melusine’s time, the field of lilies, the arms of Anjou, represented the Pictish virgin princesses coveted by other dynasties, which are the lilies featured in the earlier Song of Solomon.
These lilies, or Anjous/Ankhous/Ankh maidens, are the Bruidhinas, the Morrigan/Valkiries and Swan Princesses of the Dragon Dynasty which the Swan Knights were sworn to protect. Their symbol is the Chi Rho Ankh which, instead of just representing the XP (the first letters of the name of Christ the Man), latterly conceals the true nature and gender of the Christos itself, which is of the Rtu, first flow of the womb, of the Ankh, the Goddess.
Consequently, the Chi Rho itself is a female Dragon symbol related to both Morgana and Melusine, as well as all the other Ladies of the Lake: Mermaids, Naiads, Nixes, Virgin Priestesses and so forth. The earlier history of the Chi Rho, the Ankh and the Haegl rune which forms the fleur de lys can be found in the development of Mesopotamian cuneiform from earlier Sumerian pictograms.
In Sumerian the symbol represents “An”: the Star. At this stage the symbol came to represent the “Heavens” and its final cuneiform representation was an equal-armed cross with a wedge at the end of the top ray and two wedges on the left arm which represented the gods.

[“The Apple Trees – either Lilith or her descendant scarlet priestesses – bore the fruit which symbolized the sephirah and the glands of the female body. These, the apples of red-gold, produce the enriched virginal womb blood that was consumed by both the male and female druids – the Boars in the Orchard and the Serpents or Dragons in the Trees. Red-Gold is also the Tantric Kaula term for womb blood: the Rtu or first flow of the womb.”
The Fairies, though now thought of as obscure nature spirits, were at the forefront of Eurasian civilisation and included the PenDragons and their cousins the Merovingians. The decline and obscurity of the Fairy race was caused by the Roman Catholic Church who, unlike the now defunct Celtic Church, were the sworn enemies of the Grail or Fairy blood. The Celtic or Druidic Church was a priestly variant of the Middle Eastern branch of the Grail race, the Dragon Kings. The word “Church” actually derives from “circa” and the old highland euphemism for going to the Kirk was “going to the stones”, meaning stone circle.
The Messiaship, the rulership of the Christian Church was invested in Jesus as the appointed son and rabbi and was intended, like Dragon Kingship, to descend in his bloodline. This it did through the Merovingian Kings and the Celtic Church. In Britain, Jesus’ granddaughter married the Archdruid Bran the Blessed, cementing a blood alliance between the Dragon and the Grail branches of the one greater royal family, guided and protected by the Druidic Priests of the Celtic Church and the indigenous Druids of Britain.
For reasons outlined in other works, Jesus’ other brother James attracted a following consisting of Paul of Tarsus and Peter the Fisherman. This faction settled in Rome with Paul and established itself eventually as the Roman Catholic Church. However, as Vatican records show, Prince Linus of Britain was descended from Jesus, and therefore was the First Bishop of the Christian Church following [by descent] Christ himself.
Nevertheless, since then, the Roman heresy, the Catholic Church of the Dogma and not the Blood, vied for ascendance. After its final victory in 644 AD at the Council of Whitby, it did everything in its power to steal authority and leadership from the rightful bloodline descendants who held it. As part of this process in Europe, agreements were made with the Mayors of the Palaces, and the Merovingians were either murdered or incarcerated as the Roman Church established these Mayors, the Carolingians, under them as puppet kings.
After the Dark Ages the Roman Church became a ubiquitous and brutal power which attempted the utter destruction of the true Kings. Because of this relentless campaign, as the centuries have progressed we have been left to think of the Fairies as the Roman Church would wish us to think of them, as being anything other than what they really were.

DNA is a map. We are living genetic libraries of the entire journey of our ancestors, from the center to the outer edge. Our oldest common ancestor is Adam Kadmon, the perfected Human at the center of creation.
The Druids are associated with groves and, as some will insist, oak trees. However, it is feasible to suggest that in light of their Sumerian and Ubaid origins, the Druids as priest kings of the Dragon, were connected specifically with the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge, rather than with any mundane or temporal shrubbery.
Accepting this we may further suggest that, as priests of these pre-eminent Trees of Life and Knowledge, they may be further identified with those magicians and scholars whose Transylvanian descendents were the Scythian Aryans or Sumerian Anunnaki–the Dragon God-Kings. They were instrumnental in establishing the Chakric system of Hindu and Buddhist Tantra and Hebrew, Arabic and Greek Qabalah whose magical systems, as we all know, contain a glyph called the Tree of Life.
Generally speaking this Tree is a system of pathways both macrocosmic and microcosmic in nature. It links the various subtle energy centres which are said to exist both in the universe, as levels of density and emanation relating to the manifestation of cosmic power and being, and in the human body–on the microscopic level–as energy centres corresponding to the glands in the endocrinal system. In Qabalah the spheres which do not relate to the glands may be seen as points in the meridian system adopted by the Chinese. On another level, the Qabalistic Tree of Life is a genealogical chart of the Gods.
The magical Tree is a universal symbol. As in the early Sumerian depiction of the Tree of Life, the abode of Lilith, many of the subsequent Arabic, Indian and European Holy Trees share common attributes. All have residing in their topmost branches some form of bird.
In Tantra it is the Swan, whose head rests within the Ajna Chakra which corresponds to the pineal and pituitary glands and the corpus callosum. In Welsh Druidic lore the bird is represented as the Eagle, a typically shamanic totem bird which symbolises the ascendant spirit. Here the Eagle is the god Lleu (in Ireland he is the Danaan king Lugh), the father of the Elven Llewwlyn Kings of Gwynnedd. In Arabic Sufism the bird is a Peacock, whilst in Viking lore the Sacred Tree Yggdrasil has at its base a coiled serpent by a pool and in its highest boughs the bird of the released spirit accompanied by a white heart. Yggdrasil is called the Axis Mundi and is seen as the tree which contains within its branches and roots the nine worlds of the Viking philosophical sytem, including their version of the Hebrew Qlipphoth or underworld. Immediately the similarity between it and the Qabalistic and Tantric Trees becomes apparent. This is no fluke.
