The Snow Priestess

The Full Moon Lunar Elcipse Begins

January 7th O Holy Friday 10:18am the Moon is in Aquarius
Morning Pages – Feeling The Snow Priestess in my own StarLily ~~~

A light snow appears to be rising up
From the Earth’s heartbeat (an illusionist’s dream)
As it mixes and dances with those gravity-correct
Snowflakes, shape-shifting, tiny lace
Angelic, symmetrical visages of new winter’s wear.
It’s always mysterious with uncertain outcome?
When the Ice-Princess shakes up Heaven’s Crystal ball and voila!
Infinite expressions of snow-angels
Begin to pirouette in the sacred geometry of Nature’s mystical fashion –
Seemingly random but inherent with purpose as each flake dovetails
With its neighbors and the whole mix keeps remixing.
Icy breezes of this morn cast their elemental whips Here
There – painting a pure ocean-white blank canvas
With their vibrant playful leaps and spins,
O Patterns of the Goddess.
In the silver-blue northeast Sabbath
Morning the snow now looks –
Like frantic little sea-bubbles with no control
Over their exquisite graceful ballerina bodies,
Blown with a hearty loving laugh
Off the smiling confident lips of The Snow Queen –
Gazing emerald-eyed into Her limitless Celestite
Pale-blue crystal ball.
I am burning
Honey-toned beeswax candles, O holy golden light,
Imbibing Shankar ragas from my pink butterfly I pod
Through the pours of my sesame-oiled winter lizard skin, and
Thinking…of a perfect day’s outfit for a snow storm’s ride
Up to Bee’s hive.
Still to “do”… present day’s sacred Tarot.
Already sipped flower essences with delicious virtue-rich gem elixirs….
Himalayan Lily, Star Ruby, Celestite
Madujore Mallow – with a cleansing nip of Golden Seal.
(from my bed, The Argo (about to take leave) I see my
Drying lavender roses, hanging upside-down
On a six-foot bronze medieval Spanish candelabra
My mother gave me -
From which many prayer candles have done their bid….
Delivered on prayers and hopes and ever dreams.
In my gentle-pink temple bedroom of rose and raspberry –
Crowned by The Virgin of Guadeloupe tapestry
Upon my Pharaoh-sized queen’s bed.-
Sipping warm Mixed-Winter Blend java from Whole Foods -
Still potent with aromatic fresh-shaved cinnamon garnish.
Up, up. Away and off!
To Be with the abandonment of our Priestess’ snow’s delight –
To Be a snowflake with ivory sea-horse wings
Fluttering beyond time and man’s reason
For The Great Goddess… knowing …
Tomorrow’s “Next to Normal”
