THE CEREMONY
The earth is born in the belly of the sun,
As we call to the East the ceremony has begun.
The eagle flys in the eastern skies,
Watching from above giving us his eyes.
To see our life from a birds eye view,
Showing us what to let go of,
And what to call in new.
The air blows in,
And gives us breath,
Purifying our desire,
Filling our lungs refreshed.
The sun it rises,
From the dark again,
Bringing in the light,
Oh great spirit shine the clarity within.
As we call to the South, the serpent rises,
A flame up the spine,
She uncoils and reminds us,
That as she sheds her skin,
Like hand slips from glove,
Each death is perfectly safe,
A contraction into deeper love.
The divine spark flickers,
The embers turn to flame,
The fire it purifies,
Our thoughts, misaligned beliefs, our pain.
As it burns, the thought arises,
Let it go, let it go,
Another story of suffering,
Turns to smoke in the fire’s glow.
The smoke turns to nothing,
A phantom in the night,
Where once was a story of fear,
Now only I remain a light.
As we call to the West the sun sets into darkness,
The Dreamtime is born,
And the stars illuminate abound us.
The mystic does awaken,
The third eye flickers on,
An open crowns is gifted too us,
As we call in this ancient song.
The lion prowls on the western plane,
Gifting us his courage,
His strength and golden main.
A roar to clear the pain we hold on to,
Let the sound ring; clear, loud, and true,
All will be remembered,
As this season is renew.
The water flows in and floods our senses,
Washing away the blockages,
Stored emotions, and the tensions.
Flowing through the channels,
Spiralling to the crown,
As we let the heaviness go,
Let it sink,
Put it down.
Refreshing, revitalising,
Calming, soothing flow,
The water of life it heals us,
It cleanses so we grow.
Water teach us to be soft and gentle,
Honour the container that does hold us,
And stand in our power,
As no force can compress, or control us.
As we call to the North, the earth we stand on grounds us,
The mycelium comes to meet us,
The energy it channels downwards.
Taking our spirit deep,
Into Gaia’s sacred womb,
Holding us like the star child,
To birth and see us bloom.
A seed to earth we’re planted,
To rise as tall as trees,
To touch the ancient canopy’s,
Dancing fluttering leaves.
The ancestors come to greet us,
To surround us in this grove,
To teach and show us the lessons,
That reveal the crystal of our soul.
Thank you grandmothers and grandfathers,
For holding us in this space,
Thank you to the earth spirits,
For honouring this grand rebirth.
The great wolf she howls,
Holds us like the children in her den.
Gifting us her watchful presence,
To see all that lies within.
To be the sacred protector,
Of our boundaries, and our tribe.
To feel the safety,
To open our hearts and minds so wide.
As we take the first breath in,
The medicine heals all parts,
We let nature dissolve us,
Our resistance,
And closed down hearts.
As we call to the lower worlds,
The great darkness descent below.
We journey into the void,
Fearless with primal flow,
For all our animal helpers,
They guide us as we go.
We transmute shadow to light,
Transmute fear into love,
Enveloping, holding, and loving,
The darkness, and scared child with in,
For to alchemise this suffering, is in our surrendering.
An obsidian layer protects us,
From anything not of love,
Moving in the great black reflector,
Of suffering and cosmic sludge.
As we call to the upper world,
The angelic realm opens up,
The dragon kingdom surrounds us,
Their spirit ascends us up.
A journey to the heavens,
To connect with beings of light,
Hold us in this ceremony,
hold us thorough this night.
We reach out to our star brothers and sisters,
In places far and old,
Teach us the ancient wisdom,
Of how the universe unfolds.
The records we can access,
Of all that has, and what may be,
The path we see to take forward,
And how to journey free.
Amethyst crystal castles,
Come down from realms above,
The domed cathedral of light we honour, with eternal holy love.
As we call to the sacred centre, the middle of all that is,
Our rose quartz hearts burst open,
Connecting with compassion, love.
The pillar of light flows through us,
A toroidal spiralling glow,
A vortex unfolds with in us,
We are the emanation of the soul.
The union of all opposites,
Express inside of us,
Shiva Shakti unified,
The one true god, true love.
Ancient spirit infuse,
Our circle with divine protective love.
Hold us in your arms,
From earth, from heavens above.
Teach us to connect with source,
The energy that flows within,
Realising we are the all,
The one eternal hymn.
The directions are called,
The ceremony is open,
We are in sacred space,
This circle held unbroken.
