The Children are Listening to the Winds

Listen children to the story that lives in the winds. Are you going to be a placement, of who's a rank and who gift (competition of the great give-a-way)? And we all have a duty, a song to fulfill (gifting our hearts). We all have a reason, to bring us up the hill (to chase the sun). Where we live in comfort the place inside our hearts (soul down deep). We bid you some more comfort, when you start to dew your part (take your place in the rainbow clan, duties,  fulfillments and great gifts in attributes). I have to share my heart sow rare, just like yours, in the sea (heavenly breeze). We are all little children inside of this great family (rainbow clan).

We are subject to the kindgom of love that rules this world/girth. And every place we fill our hearts, we understand the (light and sound) waves of this girth. I come to you as a bashful child leaning in the winds (eager to learn and gift my heart). We are going to the family again (true blue), who lives in the winds. Blessings to our neighbors. Blessings to the winds. Blessings to the world that needs love to begin (stepping stones, bring dreams unfold, when love is bound to clear, the path is near, no more fear, the door opens, there is gold). We are part of each other, not singular, but a part, of the many blooming colors (the rainbow clan, each are part of this clan), that bring us to this holy ark (sailing through the rainbow colors of each other, each person being an ark, but necessarily holy, only through purification and pure of heart, can holy be achieved). I sail away to company, the shore that sets me free (that would be you, those who are true blue). I want to have it all sow bold, when each is a familiar door (relatives on the ocean's floor, arc bows low, rises to unfold and round and round we go, the Great Circle shows us the flow. One more thing, the familiar door is one who is a relative, one who loves you even though, never meeting you before. A relative who is loving and kind, recognize loving and kind, through blessings and prayers, songs and cheer, inviting all to come near. We are relative in our spaces we share, thus we are relatives in related fields. Only when we trust or know how to receive, does true love accept others into the circle of stories ).

And if you listen to the winds, you will find that they are listening again. And when you send to thee, that is your family. We will be listening to the world, for all they work on to their thrills, love gains in hope. And now it's time, to share a heart and bring sublime (explode and shine like a sun). Notice how it is, comfort bliss, the heart of those who never ever miss. Because love finds you true, when you gift your heart in the blue (heavenly blue road, where the song of your heart shines forth), where the winds blow free over hundreds of seas, to gather around this sacred world, to find the worth, the sacred perth (Vision: little bag of money, like a purse/bursa/around a small bag or pouch, often made of soft leather, for carrying money, esp coins. Celtic name meaning Perth: From the thorn bush or thicket, all together in a round, to share in brotherhood, giving and receiving. Ultimately, the exchange of coins or metal, shows us that our strength lies in the exchange rate. Is it fair? We are learning to exchange fairly through the two sides, looking both ways. A skin of leather is what holds our spiritual space, like our buffalo robe, the sacred four directions in rainbow colors. Together with a fair exchange rate, equality, the fabric of space is melted together or interwoven through the Rainbow Clan. We literally belong to each other, in order for the dreamspace to align, gift and provide the greatest illusion of all time, our DREAMS. Let us awaken to gifting from the talking walk and the walking talk, the Great Spirit inside of you, has a great story and a great dream that needs to be shared, fairly, justly and in joy. Only will it be sown as the Dawning of Mankind, when Brotherhood Shines. Cheers for the Rainbow Clan, the Sacred Perth). 

There is a place where all is full of loving grace. We must bow down to the sacred place, where all the children live. And as the story unfolds, all the sky is telling us told, of the days gone by, now part of the wind. It's time for us to take arms (hugs), to hold each other in our charms. It's time for us to reach inside, where our hearts feel alive. Come and share your heart with me, then we will know the eternal seas. Come and bear (humble star) a heart sow true, I will bow down to gift comfort to you.

And my children in the stars, down from heaven oh so far, to plant your seed, to watch them grow, now a tree of life explodes. All those willow branches told of every seed that knows it's fold (together we collide to open our eyes). We are learning to unravel, the sacred heart in the gravel (crystalline stone river where we live, the rainbow clan is fit. A gravel is both a scepter of an influential power and a stone, representing the sun. Light can transform. Look both ways, heavenly and earthly). Bang bang, I hit my head upon the tree (the law of love on the red road, another lesson in my sneeze or rainbow bridge, not again, I must learn to forgive, let the echo flow, validate that face). I say, bang bang. Now I fall down on my knees (I must pray to alleviate the sins displayed). I say bang bang, let the winds touch inside of me (let me feel God on the blue road, purify thee, which means "How will I know compassion, to hear the story that needs to relieve a broken heart with passion, just doesn't know how to start. Only blessings will serve this will, but only if they bow to kill or purify through blessing, the impure waves that live in them, to bring them back to life in the winds). I say bang bang (aim for a heart, send love out from me), let me heart explode light from within (crying) will set me free.

We are the chidlren of the dawning, now it's time for us not to be yawning (sleep walking, not awaken), but to take our place (awaken to the vision of brotherhood), show majesty and grace. We are leaning on love this day, to bring us forwards in the praise. And it's time for us to bee (impossible fulfilled dreams), a perfect revelatory breeze. There our hearts will show the ease of sharing all inside in the breeze (share your heart, I will hear you in the wind), heaven finally come to me (when I am listening to thee). And we will feel the winds of glory, the sign of faith, the willing hoary (crystalline frost or sublimation, skipping over lessons, into treasures, simply because we know the great bow of the Rainbow Clan, the arc of the covenant, the promise of freedom). We are the children of the dawning, where our songs, bring us to harmony, the sake of loving each in the breeze. Welcome home my family.

Willow Tree

Meanings include magic, healing, inner vision and dreams. The leaves and bark of the willow tree have been mentioned in ancient texts from Assyria, Sumer and Egypt as a remedy for aches and fever. Native Americans across the continent relied on it as a staple of their medical treatments. This is because they contain acetylsalicylic acid, also known as asprin. The willow is a famous subject in many East Asian nations' cultures, and the image has been employed in a variety of Korean poetry. The willow as also part of mourning pieces created in the 19th century (and earlier) by women to commemorate the death of a loved one. These pieces always include one or more mourners in dark dresses bent over a burial vault, tombstone or urn with a willow tree - a symbol of death, tears, mourning, and reflection. Perhaps this is the origin of the term "weeping willow." http://livingartsoriginals.com/infoforests.htm

The Willow Tree of Mystery and Legend

The willow tree is famous for its being steeped in mystery and legend, with many cultures associating it with the supernatural. The tree’s beauty derives from its cascading leaves that reach almost to the ground, swaying gracefully whenever winds are blowing.

The willow is deciduous; together with its aerial roots and leaf-less slender branches, it presents a forbidding appearance in the winter. Sited carefully, though, a willow can provide a welcome touch of green and abundant shade during the summer season. A line of these majestic trees guarding along a quiet lane or stream is a popular motif in literature.

The willow tree is a very tenacious plant that easily grows from branch cuttings. Willows are often the preferred host plant of several moth larvae; most notably the gypsy moth. Because it is extremely needy of water, care should be taken not to site the tree near buildings, as its active roots would tunnel deep into underground waterworks and sewage systems, causing damage. It is a good idea to plant it next to a water source. http://www.varietybackyard.net/the-willow-tree-of-mystery-and-legend/



The Spiritual Meaning of 'Willow' by Matthew James  7/28/2009

Also known as White Willow, Tree of Enchantment and Witches' Asprin. Willow was one of the seven sacred trees of the Irish and also a Druid sacred Tree. The willow is the tree of enchantment, sacred to the a Moon tree and also sacred to the White Lady.

Its groves were considered so magickal that priests, priestesses and all types of artisans sat among these trees to gain eloquence, inspiration, skills and prophecies. For a wish to be granted, ask permission of the willow, explaining your desire. Select a pliable shoot and tie a loose knot in it while expressing what you want. When the wish is fulfilled. Return and untie the knot. Remember to thank the willow and leave a gift.

The words “willow (wicker)” and “Wicca” are thought to be derived from the same root meaning “to bend”, or “to be pliant.” The willow, as crone, is the third wood of the witch’s besom, being the flexible bark, which binds the maiden birch rods to the mother ash handle. (The flexibility of the willow means it can be either crone or maiden). The Willow wand can be used to banish long-held grief, It is also a favourite wand of poets and those seeking inspiration and vivid inspirational dreams. Used in all moon or water magic. It has a powerful feminine 'yin' energy. Willow can help a person get in touch with their subconscious feelings and desires.

Celtic Meaning of the Willow Tree

The Celtic meaning of willow has a long history of symbolism associated with metaphysical and ritual practices. Specifically, the willow wood has been (and still is) used in ceremonies intended for enhancement of psychic abilities, honoring the moon as well as increase the essence of love in our lives. Many uses and associations came be traced back to our Celtic ancestors' observations of the willow tree in their natural environment. Druid priests, dryads (priestesses), bards and ovates all recognized the willow's affinity to watery domains. Flora and fauna in close connection with water are considered dwellers of the psychic realm, and symbolic of inspired imagination.

The willow gets its moon associations (another powerful symbol of psychic and intuitive energy) because of its relationship to water. We see this when we recognize the moon's influence over the waters of the earth - it moves the tides, pulling fluids to and fro with her own wax and wane. Recognizing these natural unions, ancient Celtic spiritual leaders considered the willow a container for water/moon attributes and thus utilized its wood and branches to invoke deeper connections to their intuitive purposes. The Celts understood that the willow was instrumental in bringing about psychic visions that produced a clearer understanding of the world in which they lived.

Other valuable traits of the willow include its flexibility. The willow is one of the few trees that can bend in outrageous poses without snapping. This is a powerful metaphor for those of us on a spiritual path. The message here is to adjust with life rather than fight it. Further testimony to its adaptability, is the willow's ability to not only survive, but thrive in some of the most challenging conditions. The willow is a prolific grower, often taking root from a single branch that has fallen into some marshy bog.

In all, the willow reminds us to take heed of this lesson: Keep growing and reaching higher no matter where you are planted.http://www.whats-your-sign.com/celtic-meaning-willow-tree.html


The Wisdom of the Willow Tree, an Osage Legend

What is the meaning of life? Why is it that people grow old and die?

Although he was young, those questions troubled the mind of Little One. He asked the elders about them, but their answers did not satisfy him. At last he knew there was only one thing to do. He would have to seek the answers in his dreams.

Little One rose early in the morning and prayed to Wah-Kon-Tah for help. Then he walked away from the village, across the prairie and toward the hills. He took nothing with him, no food or water. He was looking for a place where none of his people would see him, a place where a vision could come to him.

Little One walked a long way. Each night he camped in a different place, hoping that it would be the right one to give him a dream that could answer his questions. But no such dream came to him.

At last he came to a hill that rose above the land like the breast of a turkey. A spring burst from the rocks near the base of a great elm tree. It was such a beautiful place that it seemed to be filled with the power of Wah-Kon-Tah. Little One sat down by the base of that elm tree and waited as the sun set. But though he slept, again no sign was given to him.

Old Willow Tree

When he woke the next morning, he was weak with hunger. I must go back home, he thought. He was filled with despair, but his thoughts were of his parents. He had been gone a long time. Even though it was expected that a young man would seek guidance alone in this fashion, Little One knew they would be worried. "If I do not return while I still have the strength to walk," he said, "I will die here and my family may never find my body."

So Little One began to follow the small stream that was fed by the spring. It flowed out of the hills in the direction of his village, and he trusted it to lead him home. He walked and walked until he was not far from his village. But as he walked along that stream, he stumbled and fell among the roots of an old willow tree. Little One clung to the roots of the willow tree. Although he tried to rise, his legs were too weak.

"Grandfather," he said to the willow tree, "It is not possible for me to go on."


Then the ancient willow spoke to him. "Little One," it said, "all the Little Ones always cling to me for support as they walk along the great path of life. See the base of my trunk, which sends forth those roots that hold me firm in the earth. They are the sign of my old age. They are darkened and wrinkled with age, but they are still strong. Their strength comes from relying on the earth. When the Little Ones use me as a symbol, they will not fail to see old age as they travel along the path of life."

Little Ones

Those words gave strength to Little One's spirit. He stood again and began to walk. Soon his own village was in sight, and as he sat down to rest for a moment in the grass of the prairie, looking at his village, another vision came to him. He saw before him the figure of an old man. The old man was strangely familiar, even though Little One had never seen him before.

"Look upon me," the old man said. "What do you see?"

"I see an old man whose face is wrinkled with age," Little One said.

"Look upon me again," the old man said.

Then Little One looked, and as he looked, the lesson shown him by the willow tree filled his heart. "I see an aged man in sacred clothing," Little One said, "The fluttering down of the eagle adorns his head. I see you, my grandfather. I see an aged man with the stem of the pipe between his lips. I see you, my grandfather. Your are firm and rooted to the earth like the ancient willow. I see you standing among the days that are peaceful and beautiful. I see you, my grandfather. I see you standing as you will stand in your lodge, my grandfather."

The ancient man smiled. Little One had seen truly. "My young brother," the old man said, "your mind is fixed upon the days that are peaceful and beautiful." And then he was gone.

Now Little One's heart was filled with peace, and as he walked into the village, his mind was troubled no longer with those questions about the meaning of life. For he knew that the old man he had seen was himself. The ancient man was Little One as he would be when he became an elder, filled with that great peace and wisdom which would give strength to all of the people.

From that day on, Little One began to spend more time listening to the words his elders spoke, and of all the young men in the village, he was the happiest and the most content. http://www.firstpeople.us/FP-Html-Legends/TheWisdomOfTheWillowTree-Osage.html

The Willow Tree by White Buffalo Calf Woman

Relatives of the Rainbow (you),
Many Native American revere the medicinal use of the Willow Bark. Still today many smoke the bark in the sacred pipe. It's a heavy and dense smoke, that fills all the spaces. Best used outside with extended usage. This tree is how we (all of us) discovered aspirin in the Willow's bark. Today, the formula has changed to increase it's potency, however, the story of the Willow Tree continues to be known.

Many trees tell stories, but there are few with red bark, like the Willow and the Redwood Trees, who can boast that each seed that falls, sprouts a new tree. With the many seeds, even millions, few actually take root in the sailing winds. And this is very difficult for the orange child who represents the seed embraced in the darkness until we see their face, looking for the light, bending at every fright (duck down low, crouch like a tiger).

However, the GREAT WILLOW TREE, shows us, if we stay near the heavenly body of tears, the waters of the blue road, we remember to find our way. We are together connected with the fire of the red road "the light" (rainbow colors) and the water of the blue road, the sounds "tears of joy or tears of sadness". The Willow Tree helps us recall and claim our inner soul, to guide us along the path of tears. We learn to greet and cross over the blue and red roads, where light and sound collide, where our hearts and our minds collide, to bring us to new heights in our evolutionary stage of development, the GREAT DREAM.

The Willow Tree offers to us wisdom (yellow road), intelligence (red road) to stay connected to heaven and it's tears of suffering (blue road), in order to cleanse the pain of suffering. Here we learn about spiritual evolution by extending both up for the light in the sky and down for the waters of the urn. The greeting of heaven and earth touch each other and a sacred remembering comes over you. Often gifting our reflections, waters near, tell us to not fear, but wash away with tears. This alleviates our pain, to gain once more.

Sending blessings of the sacred nine directions for all the Willow Trees on this Mother Earth, for sharing her heart with this girth and bringing our Father Sky near the birth, where the sun greets the sky, heaven helps us realize. The Willow Tree teaches us to go to the Holy Alter, the BOW.

I kneel down at the water's edge to pray, continues to say, "Heaven help me all the way!" I leave you with this thought Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star says, "Give me some shade and give me a breeze". On hot days (on fire), there is relief (water/tears).

The Power of the Willow Tree 
By Glennie Kindred (Originally Published at Imbolc 1997)

The Willow is the tree most associated with the moon, water, the Goddess and all that is feminine. It is the tree of dreaming, intuition and deep emotions. Symbolically it belongs to the beginning of spring, when all of life is stirring in the depths and begins to shoot outwards once again. In the ogham alphabet, the willow is Saille which became anglicised to "sally" which means a sudden outburst of emotions, action or expression (to "sally forth"). The Old French "saille" also means to rush out suddenly and the Latin "salire" means to leap. This is the underlying energy of the willow, and the key to understanding the powerful spirit of this beautiful tree.

The early spring festival of Imbolc, Oimelc or Imolg is one of the two great female fire festivals among the yearly cycle of four. Imbolc is celebrated at the beginning of February and, like the willow, is sacred to Brigit, Brigantia, Bride, being the maiden aspect of the triple Goddess. It celebrates her re-emergence as a young virgin from the mountain fastness of her mother Cailleach - she who is of winter, the burial mounds and dark places. Cailleach, the crone aspect of the triple Goddess, drinks from the well of youth and is transformed into Bride/Brigit who is her other self. This is the Celtic version of the Demeter/Kore story, representing the mysteries of life, death and rebirth. Imbolc is sacred to women and the power of the feminine principles of inspiration, illumination and seership. In Ireland, Bride is the Goddess of healing and smithcraft. The church transformed this festival into Candlemass and kept much of the pagan symbolism. It is a time of initiation and of beginnings and celebrates the renewal of the potency of the Earth Mother and the union with the male principle of the returning light.

The willow has much to teach us in its associations with our feminine aspects. By spending time with willows, or using the wood to make a talisman or wand, by taking it herbally or as a Bach flower remedy, we can deepen this connection. Spending time with willow trees at the full moon can only increase the potency of the insights and understanding to be gained. Working with the willow in the early spring, when the willow energy and the Earth's energy are aligned, is also a particularly potent time to explore its aspects.

The willow has always been known as a tree of dreaming and enchantment, and it was associated in Celtic legend with poets and with spells of fascination and binding. This is the willow moon energy, which puts us in touch with our feelings and deep emotions, and it is the ability of the willow to help us to express these, let them out, own them and charge them in fantastical leaps of inspired eloquence and understanding. Our deep unconscious thoughts speak to us through our dreams. If you have lost touch with your dreams or wish to increase their potency, make yourself a willow wand and sleep with it under your pillow. You will find your dreams will immediately become more vivid and meaningful. Studying your dreams, writing them down, opening your intuition to interpreting them can lead to healing emotional problems and releasing tensions in your life.

This movement on the emotional level, of allowing the emotions to come through to the surface, is the power of the willow's essential energy. Deep emotional pain blocks the energy of the body and can cause many illnesses. The willow will allow the person to move through the many levels of sadness, express the pain though tears and grief, and, by moving through these emotions, facilitate healing. The Bach flower remedy Willow is to be taken by those who have suffered adversity or misfortune in life and remain embittered by it. Willow will help the movement out of this negative state to a greater interest and involvement in the present.

When you are either over-stimulated by your feelings or cut off from them, connecting with a tree with a water attunement will greatly help. If you are attracted to a particular tree, then follow this and reach out to the tree with an openness and a willingness to accept your intuitive responses. Physical contact with a tree will help balance your body's energy, and as you stand or sit with a tree you might receive some insights and inspirational thoughts. If you feel you have made a deep connection with a tree and want to end that communication, move slowly out of it and focus some love-light around the tree. It has been proven that the plant world is greatly enhanced by this. An attitude of thanks and gratitude for nature is also a sure way of opening up the channels of communication with trees and plants.

On a herbal level, willow bark has been used for its pain-relieving qualities for at least 2,000 years. The Salix alba (white willow, withe, withy) contains salicin, which is converted to salicylic acid in the body. Salicylic acid is closely related to aspirin, the synthetic drug that has displaced willow bark from popular use. Willow bark reduces fever and relieves rheumatism, a common ailment in these damp isles. A decoction can be used for gum and tonsil inflammations and as a footbath for sweaty feet. The bark is collected in the spring time, being careful not to ring the tree or it will die. The decoction is made by soaking 3 teaspoons (15ml) of the bark in a cup of cold water for 2 - 5 hours. Then bring to the boil. Strain and take a wineglassful each day, a mouthful at a time. The bark can be dried, powdered and stored in an airtight container.

Black willow (Salix nigra) is the pussy willow and has black bark as opposed to the light greens of the white willow. Its properties are much the same, but herbally it was used in the past as an aphrodisiac and sexual sedative.

Goat willow or sallow willow (Salix caprea) is used in very much the same way as the white willow, but sallow bark tea is recommended for indigestion, whooping cough and catarrh. It can also be used as an antiseptic and disinfectant.

Culpeper says in his Complete Herbal "The moon owns the willow" and it was known as the witches' tree and the tree of enchantment. Robert Graves suggests that witch, wicker and wicked are all derived from willow. Willow rods are certainly used for binding magical and sacred objects and the popular witches' broom is traditionally made with an ash handle and birch twigs bound with willow.

Willow wands are used for any ritual associated with the moon and as a protection on deep journeys into the underworld and the unconscious. The willow will always enhance inspired leaps of the imagination and is recommended to be used when seeking to assimilate the teachings of a wise woman or master, because understanding another person's enlightened place is made easier. Also when seeking to understand ancient ways, so that you can assimilate these past levels of information, and quickly move through the underlying emotions, to appreciate humankind's patterns and utilise this information for change.

By working with the moon and the cycles of the moon, we reconnect to the duality of the light (waxing) and the dark (waning) and the tides, the seas, water and the qualities of water which include flowing, surrender, harmonising and accepting. Moon magic puts us in touch with our emotions and unconscious, which balances out our solar rational conscious views. The moon represents the Goddess and everything which reflects and suggests the power of women.

Willow is used for charms of fascination and binding, and during the spring moon we have the power of the Spring Maiden who fascinates and binds the power of the young King. Aphrodite is associated with the spring and the bright half of the moon, courtship and the union which blesses the land with fertility. British and Irish mythology is also rich with legends of the beguiling, Willowy Spring Maiden who is called Olwen, Niwalen, Gwenhyver, Cordelia, Blodeuwedd and many others, who initiate the young King into a deeply sexual experience.

Tree magic generally falls into the class of sympathetic magic which operates through the doctrine of signatures. This states that a plant will act on that part of the body which it most resembles. This can be sub-divided into homeopathic magic (the Law of Similarity) and contagious magic (the Law of Contact, using a magically charged object).

Homeopathic magic words on the principle that "like begets like", and by using willow wood for a wand or talisman it will be charged with the properties of the willow. The flexibility of the willow's twigs inspires us to move with life, rather than resist what we are feeling, and can also help you to let go of conditioned responses to life's experiences and to move towards a greater acceptance of self and others.

Willow's weeping stance reflects its association with grief. By wearing a piece of willow (as in the popular song "All around my hat I will wear the green willow") a person will be able to access all the levels of grief connected with a loss, and be able to move through all these different levels, expressing the whole deep emotional experience, to gain healing and inner strength.

When one of the willow's branches or twigs becomes disconnected, it will easily grow into a new tree if it finds some soil and water, teaching us that contained within a loss, or a new direction, is the capacity for growth and healing. Willow is one of the best water-divining woods, along with hazel and birch.

Homeopathic magic and contagious magic can be combined in the making of wands, talismans and any other objects made for personal or ritual use. Making a wand from willow means that all the willow's qualities are naturally contained within the wood, although you may want to charge or empower certain aspects for specific use. Willow wands are used whenever there is a need to connect with intuition, dreams, seership, visions, poetic and inspired writing or images, and whenever there is either an emotional numbness or emotional excess, or where there are negative emotional feelings which need to be worked through. Use a piece of fresh willow, cut from the tree with appropriate reverence and ritual, or a newly fallen piece which the tree has recently shed. You may like to take the bark, or some of the bark, off and carve it with magical symbols or anything else you may wish to use to energise your wand. It is easier to carve fresh wood and then let it dry out. Small twigs will dry out quickly without cracking in a house, but it is better to let larger pieces of wood dry slowly in an outhouse or shed, or under a hedge. When it is dry, it may be polished with several layers of beeswax to protect the wood, or left natural.

Talismans may be made in the same way, perhaps using the natural shape of the wood to suggest and inspire a carving. Talismans may be worn round the neck or as a brooch, or carried within a pouch and kept close. They may be magically carved with symbols relevant to their use.

Symbolism is not fixed, there are no correct versions of anything, and the willow particularly stimulates our ability to follow our intuitions and find out own meanings behind the symbols. It is true there are traditional meanings associated with things, but traditions must evolve and include new insights and ways of working. We may evolve a new set of symbols, particularly relevant to ourselves, which others may adopt and integrate into a new system. What was meaningful to people in one part of our evolution or history may no longer apply. Interpretations may no longer speak to the conscious or the unconscious. The patterns which a seer can unfold need to be potent and meaningful to our present spiritual evolution. We have been taught to regard our intuition as unreliable but we know that this isn't true and we must use it more in order to develop our ability to use it to the full. The power of the willow can enhance this resolve. http://www.whitedragon.org.uk/articles/willow.htm

Sacred Song Blessings, gift all a good song, because you are perfect in all that does song. Our hearts reach into heaven, and we flood, with a sound, the music of Angels, that gift us pure sound.

Brotherhood Make Me Stand, Rainbow Warriors, "I Am a Man"

Title: The word Man means light of the rainbow colors and the dreams we carry on our journey over rolling hills or waves of light.  This is representative of our physical world and flesh, along the red road, the law of love and the physical embrace of brotherhood and all it entails.  It is pervasive in all our life, yet is overextended with intelligence and not balanced with the darkness of heaven within or our hearts. The death of our hearts means we don't feel anything anymore and we become numb to the experiences of a full life rich in rewards and treasures.  Others simply deny the feelings, hide and run away.  This lacking and discomfort propels us forward to seek out and explore new frontiers. This is the journey of returning to the soul of heaven, the heart of man which lies within the darkness to be lit from within.  As we seek our visions and dreams to awaken to the fulfillment of true brotherhood and loving clan members we long for better days and sanctuary from hate, prejudice and impure of the world at large. The Lakota word Mitakuye Oyasin means "All my Relatives", because we are related in space, grandmothers embrace of the darkness of heaven. Just like the earth is contained in heavenly darkness, man too is embraced by this spiritual darkness. Now in time, we realize, that sacred blessings allow us to return from the impure darkness of evil to the pureness of the heart, to be able to call all our Relatives on the circle of life. Brotherhood, make us Man, we do Stand, together as "trees of life" in a forest.

(singing) Here we slide down the miracle glide (rainbow slide to divide, rainbow children who do not hide). Here we slide down to know God's life. Here we slide down the rainbow cloud. Here we slide, to bring it all out loud. Share our lives, with each other's heart. Share our lives, with each other's part. There we go, down the river that blows (wind of heaven). And my heart is always filled to overflow. Gray (grandmother space, where dreams come alive) come to me, where dreams can sail free. Feel the day of night, come over me (a light from within).

Now I stand up (on) a hill. And I'm a man, who brings my hands (embrace of brotherhood). I will arrive ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ upon this shore (knocking at your door). I will arrive ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ to be hard to fill (physical world is falling apart). But my soul, will know the way for sure (heaven knows the way when I listen to my heart). But my soul, will be tired and dirty clutter fields (impure). And I must release (forgive through purification blessings, both fire and water), for the golden grain (brotherhood that gains, love remains). I must sow, for green grass to reign (green is the house of the river's flow representing four directions, it's embrace and banks to the river's flow let us know, we are spiritually embraced together as Oneness).

The days I long to bring my sun on home (inner golden light upon my heart). And my soul does ring (true and free), for another day. My soul does find a leap of faith, I pray/I praise. And my song does fill, the ready and the pure (those children who are willing to receive my ever flowing love). And I know it's where the will of God is near (to serve others, to know true brotherhood). I feel the soul to climb (ascend), to bind with all my heart (to heaven). I feel my soul to bee (impossible dreams are known, an insect we know as the bee is aerodynamically unable to fly yet flies anyway, we see it with our own eyes), free to believe (I am and I thrive, the yellow road and I).

Come on home, strangers in your own homeland (brothers and sisters, children of the rainbow clan). Because you don't roam, to distant shores and lands (separated rather than united and not knocking at my door). You need but call ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ out to your Brothers side, because if we hide, we never realize.

I come on home, to be a better man. I feel my throne*, where my heart does stand (golden cosmic father in the house, "I demand, brotherhood embraces man", children return home to each other's heart). I realize, heaven is what we need, to bring us home, to where the heart does bleed (suffering for others we love). Red road (law of love) my heart and soul, that's where my Brother knows. I come when you call my name (child of heaven is true blue stars that shine, relatives sublime). I come to help you gain (to share and give-a-way, to help you receive honor, abundance is golden grain, seeds of love sown). Come on home, to where the sun does shine. Come on home, and bring your prayers to mind. Lift your heart and bring us to weeping tears (tears of joy and delight, instead of plight, where true treasures live in the heart). Because it's the night, that sweeps all in delight.

* Ahau  is a mayan word meaning the crown of brotherhood, the flower (blossoming soul or awakening) and the lord. The Sun/Son of the Corn (seeds of dreams planted in heaven, which actually give rise in the hypothalamus as pearls or white hard crystalline seeds, which survive even after fire in those who reach enlightenment or practice spiritual cleansing in their daily lives. Corn is a grass, which represents the oneness of the flowing river of heaven, the crystal stone river, blessed and renewed to offer valleys where fields of dreams can come true.) God establishing land, water and air, and paradise in the east where the sun rises.  This represents the return of the Dawning and the beginning of time (awakening), of heavenly darkness that shines like stars in the night and our dreams as well as the earthly light of the Sun (kingships or kinships, true blue relatives) that reigns over Man and offers us paradise. Here the Corn God receives his coronation as the crown of brotherhood, the golden child of the great inner light, that can destroy and give death to the impure and resurrect to be pure once again.  This is a soul often referred to born again and the story of the fire phoenix who rises from that ashes. The crown of brotherhood is worn when you know true love for all relatives of the rainbow clan all things belong to.  In the oneness it represents the circle of the returning or the "Dawning of time", such as when we move from the second phase of evolution to the third rolling hill in time or when Man awakens. Golden persons represent this cycle, but do not actually wear the crown and belong to others in the clan, like crystal people or other colors who wear the crown, but inside the house of God, this is the golden child who shines a heart who can purify the world and it's light of rainbow colors from within darkness of heaven, the dream space or Grandmother's embrace (gray).  The Golden One is fearless to venture from shore to shore and heart to heart. In evolution it represents time when civilization from other worlds come to rejoin us as one family from the heavens who return home once again. This is not a physical attribute, although they do come from other worlds, but a spiritual attribute that conquers fear, trusting and having faith in having knowledge needed to continue the journey home, rejoining the rainbow clan, towards the place we stand upon a hill (land of golden fields). We enter a time of awakening of cosmic relationships.  We are the star beings, now we are just realizing this to be true. We awaken to this new view.

  Roar of the Buffalo Horn: (talking wind, cosmic father, the golden person talking here, listen up) Heaven's home, that's my throne. And my soul awakens to the call upon my home (Mother Earth, I return home from the cosmic sky). When others charge, I feel the sword (severing of ignorance), but my hand goes to the horn (music helps me call), to tell my brother, use gold (brotherhood is known, true love is sown). And if we all did take the steps towards brotherhood, then we could believe in man instead of this disease (renegade in need). But in the meantime, I call out your name (soul's pain learning to gain). I tell you sweetly, there is lots to gain. And if you can, just open up your heart. Feel the world and what a miracle it is in being your part (of the rainbow clan and for all this stands, you're perfect heart of man). You're GREATNESS, my Brother in my clan. You are the epitome of human man (image of god's likeness, I am). And we shall ride, this fire's light (rainbow colors). We shall be bright, from within, all sight (for all to see/sea, shine in the light and in the dark, where heaven is part of this clan). And those who flow, don't know which way to go (upon a shore, knocking at the doors). I will rise up, to shine, for all to know. Brotherhood, come share the heart with this hood (clan, tribe, village, city, land occupation, covering, roofs, the collective). Rainbow soldiers, come align where heaven's home is inside (The loyal true blue of heaven's realm alive upon the red road of earth and her light or rainbow colors of cosmic woman, the rainbow hair that glitters and shines and even blinds, heaven reigns/rains every time. She/Soul fills us up with Mother's love from heaven. We have a heart. And the vehicle to brotherhood is joy to start.)!

Ahau glyph (Flower) The Divine Proportion, also called the Golden Ratio, because to know of brotherhood, one must walk with love upon the red road where gardens do grow, heaven knows and evolution explores the shore, heart to heart to serve related/relatives/kinships/kingships (ascending/descending).

The Maya were brilliant mathematicians. Their linguistic code was cracked only in fairly recent years, revealing a society based on kingship and a manifold system for measuring time. In tandem with a 365-day calendar, the Mayan tzolkin of 260 days “guided the daily rituals and cultural achievement of the people” and according to at least one source is “still in use today in some parts of Mexico and Guatemala.”

One of the 20 days cycling through the tzolkin was known as Ahau or Flower. One commentator explains, “The meanings of the day-sign Ahau are many: Lord, Sun, Flower, Marksman or Blowgunner” —as in English “flower” communicates not just “blossom,” but fertility, femininity, fulfillment, success….

We don’t pretend to understand the cultural complexity of the ancient Maya, though we see evidence in many sources of contemporary fascination with Mayan belief, as well as Mayan mathematics, and of course the art.
One such enthusiast writes, “Mayan time conception is more sophisticated than the one presently in vogue among the ‘western’ cultures. It involves an approach or attitude of mutual involvement, overlapping inclusion, and adaptable pro-active problem solving, rather than ‘taking a stand,’ ‘sticking to our guns,’ or ‘peace through strength.’ The Maya enjoy a world-view free from the entrapments of dualistic thinking.” Thank you http://www.humanflowerproject.com/index.php/weblog/ahua_mayan_flower/

The Fibonacci Numbers: Connections within the Mathematics and Calendrical Systemsof Ancient Mesoamerica by Valerie Vaughan (excerpt) 
If we examine Maya inscriptions, we find other evidence that implies an understanding of the Fibonacci numbers. The ancient Mesoamericans viewed the cosmos as a layered universe. The heavens were conceived of as thirteen in number (brotherhood), with the earth included as the first layer. There was also a nine-layered underworld (nine sacred directions), beginning with the earth again as the first layer. This is depicted on page 2 of the Codex Vaticanus A.⁶⁵ This is one of the examples of the use of the Fibonacci numbers 8, 13 and 21. There are 21 "worlds," when the earth is "counted" twice as the first world. (We note that the number one appears twice at the beginning of the Fibonacci series). There is evidence that the Maya also expressed the day as having 13 hours of daylight (the Thirteen Birds of the Day) and 9 hours of darkness (The Nine Lords of the Night).[66] (Again, 13 is the fearless, who bring brotherhood by day, free to display dreams and nine sacred directions the river can flow for all to know, heaven's light, rainbow sight/vision, says White Buffalo Calf Woman.)

Flowers are one of the most consistent expressions of the Fibonacci sequence in nature, and they also form some of the most important symbols in Mesoamerican writing, mythology, and calendrics. The sunflower held a particularly important place in ancient Mexican mythology. When the Spaniards arrived in the New World, they found the sunflower serving in the temples as a sign and a decoration, and the sun-god's officiating handmaidens wearing upon their breasts representations of the sacred flower in beaten gold.[67]
As described earlier, the special name-day which began the sacred calendar was 1-Ahau, also called One-Flower (unity and return of brotherhood, stars of heaven return), while the day that began and ended the great cycle was Four-Flower (house or holy temple, rainbow warriors of prophecy call tools of light). The word Ahau means Lord and refers to the Sun, while the glyph used to represent it was a flower.

Image: "This is probably the self-portrait of the painter of this masterpiece vase. His occupation is indicated by the paintbrush in his hat. His signature is on the vase in the far right corner", says Justin Kerr. White Buffalo Calf Woman interprets, "I was looking at this image, then I just realized, the paintbrush of feathers meant and looks like, the flowering of a king.  If you look, the brush is coming out of his (man, light, physical world) third eye, the vision of the darkness (woman, heaven, spiritual world), our dreams of awakening (united blue and red road, where yellow leads to flight of the soul, freedom and all it s knows). The pineal gland is located just under the third eye area, which helps us measure light and darkness in order for our bodies to harmonize with our environment of heaven. Here, the King (ahau) is able to paint his dreams in his visions and to bring this to the peoples, united in brotherhood." 



That the Mesoamericans would link flowers with astronomical cycles should not seem so surprising to us, since using flowers to mark time has had a long, though obscure, history in Europe. One 18th-century astronomer, Jean-Jacques De Mairan, noted that the opening and closing of certain "sensitive plants" followed a specific daily rhythm, and he linked this to the sun's influence. A similar observation had been made by a general in the travelling army of Alexander the Great. The great Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus planted a timekeeping garden which he called "Flora's Clocks." The flower beds were laid out to form a clock face, with each bed representing a different hour of the day and planted with flowers that were known to open or close at certain times.

It is not only the circadian rhythm that is evident in plants, but also longer cycles. For example, there is a species of bamboo in Argentina which has a very precise life pattern -- exactly 30 years from seed to seed. And botanists have discovered that it is not only daylight which regulates the rhythms of plants; a number of experiments have shown that the length of night is just as important as the length of day. The chrysanthemum, for example, requires an uninterrupted period of about 13 hours of darkness (an autumn night) before it will flower. Ragweed cannot begin its flowering process until the summer nights have lengthened to about nine and a half hours.

Finally, and most relevant for our discussion here, there is the 260-day calendar, which we have shown to be based on Fibonacci numbers. There have been many theories that attempt to explain the origins of the 260-day cycle, and most of them show the connection with natural cycles. For example, the cycle of seed-to-harvest for certain types of corn grown in Guatemala is about 260 days. In the Dresden Codex, there are 258 days between Venus rising as an evening star and its emergence as a morning star, a period which correlates with the Aztec myth of Quetzacoatl's journey to the underworld. Perhaps the most significant correspondence is the period of human gestation. Nine lunar months are approximately equal to 260 days. One Mayan scholar discovered that some modern Mayan people explicitly state the human gestation period as the explanation for the origin of the tzolkin.⁶⁸  Thank you http://www.onereed.com/articles/fib.html

Flower Glyph from the Sun Stone

Image: Flower from the Sun Stone (Xochitl)
Flower is the culminating event of all that has passed since the Earth Monster initiated the cycle in the first glyph to the cycle's blossoming with Flower. In this way, Flower represents the force that brings all things to flower.


"The goddess of this day is Xochiquetzal, 'Precious Flower,' the goddess of love. She lives in a paradise where everyting grows and every kind of bird flies in its skies. She protects people in love, and the moon during the first thirteen days of its cycle when it is visible during the day."

DIVINATORY MEANINGS FOR SUN: Cosmic Consciousness: Synthesis, fire, mastery, realization of solar body solar mind, encompass and generate the entire cycle. Acupuncture meridian is the right thumb for the right lung.


note: The Moon glyph is geographically equal and opposite the Sun glyph on the TimeStar, which means light and darkness are shared and united as the yellow road, the Sun of the Golden path.

Image: Sun glyph from the Dresden (Codex for the Mayan calendar). Geographical coordinates for the Sun glyph are 4°50 West longitude and 60° North latitude, with the apex north of the Orkney Islands on the TimeStar. Sites that align with the Sun glyph's center are noted over a crop circle made at East Kennett (England) in June, 2001.

The Solar Lord on the last pyramid corresponds with the end of the Mayan long count that began in 3113BC, and a time when earthquakes were prophesied to cleanse the earth. Earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, and magnetic storms have accelerated in geometric progression for decades to reach a continually rising high that will climax between 1996 and 2006. Considering the magnitude of the changes, things have gone smoothly overall. Alerted to the changes in process, we can prepare and cope with them. Between 2006 and 2012, the cycle will be winding down in preparation for the new 2013 cycle. With this cycle complete, the forces of nature will carry on planetary timing in a new upstepped frequency and expression.

Solar Lord made his appearance in 1753, just after the 9 magnitude earthquake near the Washington coast that caused a Tsunami in Japan in 1700. Discover magazine (January, 1996) carried an article on the Indo-Australian plate and the Tsunami of 1700 on the same page just as I started to write these glyphs in 1996. The Moon glyph is geographically equal and opposite the Sun glyph on the TimeStar.

Flower on the Sun Stone corresponds with Solar Lord (Ahau for lord) in the Dresden Codex. Taken from Chichen Itza in the Yucatan (southern Mexico), the principles expressed with Sun Stone glyphs emphasizing ritual in central Mexico were applied to Venus at Chichen Itza in southern Mexico.

The 20 glyphs in the Sun Stone are arrayed in a circle around the head representing the sun in the center of the megalith.

THE BEGINNING
The Sun Stone memorializes the Five Suns, or five eras of the world, at the time Mexico's first pyramids were built at Teotihuacan circa 300BC. Literally meaning "The City of The Gods", Teotihuacan was renowned as the city where they did not die but awakened from a dream.

Although the 12-ton megalithic Sun Stone is sometimes erroneously called the Aztec calendar, the Aztecs went into the pyramid business during the 13th Century, a relatively recent period compared to construction at Teotihuacan that started 1,600 years earlier. The Aztecs, who built their capitol city 35 miles south of Teotihuacan on the dry lake bed where Mexico City is now located, were never associated with Teotihuacan but assimilated the knowledge of the more ancient pyramids from the Toltecs.

The Toltecs, who entered the Mexico Valley at the precise moment in history that the original builders of Teotihuacan left the valley, settled around the Teotihuacan pyramid center circa 700AD. After the brief but bloody Aztec conquest of the Mexico Valley in 1224AD, the Aztecs declared themselves the heirs of the Toltec tradition. The Aztecs subsequently assimilated the Toltec's peaceful deity, the Feathered Serpent (Quetzalcoatl), as a secondary figure under the Aztec's own God of War. Toltec craftsmen familiar with the Teotihuacano tradition carved the Sun Stone that the Aztecs assimilated as their own, as they had adopted the Feathered Serpent under the Aztec God of War. Ultimately, the pyramids at Teotihuacan influenced the ancient civilization of the Americas from Central America to Canada and served as the model for the 20-glyph calendar of the Mayan empire that reached its classical period circa 435AD.

Like the Great Pyramid, the builders of Teotihuacan left only their mathematics and astronomy as signatures; and, like the builders of the Great Pyramid, those who built Teotihuacan remain unidentified. Among the mathematical achievements of ancient Mexico is the invention of zero around 300BC at the time construction of the first pyramid, the Pyramid of the Sun, was started at Teotihuacan. The mathematical theory of zero filtered into Europe more than 1,000 years later, but the astronomical theories of Native America used with its calendar have never been recognized in European-derived astronomy. Thus interpretations of the ancient calendar using European astronomy remain flawed, and Native America's first calendar has never been fully deciphered.

Renowned as the Feathered Serpent's initiation center ("Serpents represent the law of love as well as the to and fro of tides of the moon between blue and red road, united river, to fly in dreams on the yellow road", says White Buffalo Calf Woman), the pre-Aztec codices associated with Teotihuacan were uniquely concerned with ritual, while the Mayan codices were mainly comprised of tables for almanacs. Although the numbers and design of the calendar used throughout ancient Mexico first appeared at Teotihuacan, the calendar was utilized differently in various centers throughout Mexico and Central America. Thus the perspectives of the Teotihuacano's ritual and the Maya's almanacs were very different. The ritual tradition that originated in the Feathered Serpent's initiation center at Teotihuacan spread into North America and survives as the Native American Church of North America. Don Juan Matus is a descendent of the ancient Toltec who were the first heirs of Teotihuacan.

The Sixth Sun, or sixth era of the world, dawned July 11, 1991 with the historic solar eclipse of that date.
