My beautiful Dreams of Gaia card
for today is the Ten of Air. What
a gorgeous card! The keywords are
individuation, self-actualization, liberation, altered perception, new
paradigms, great mystery, paradox and potential. This card is about the integration of the conscious and the
subconscious, soul and shadow, masculine and feminine, in order to become whole
and complete yet ever evolving.
“You are willing to step away from all that you were, so that you may
become all that you choose to be.”
Powerful words, describing a powerful experience that alters how I
perceive the world, and how I move forward. We cannot see what the woman in the image is seeing, because
her body and her wings are in the way; we just get a glimpse of a doorway
beyond which lies a dark and starry sky.
Whatever she is seeing has her transfixed and spellbound; she is ready
to step into the portal. A glimpse
of the Machinery of the Universe is available to me today, and seeing these
wonders will change me forever.
I am still feeling echoes of the
powerful experience of yesterday.
Perhaps a bit of research is in order; it might offer a bit of
grounding.
Here is some info about Tishtya
the Watcher:
Aldebaran
(“the Follower”), Persian name, Tascheter or Tishtya (also associated with
Sirius and Arcturus), reaches dominance at the Spring Equinox, and thus it is
associated with sunrise, the cardinal direction of East, and the season of
Spring. It is found in the
constellation Taurus, and has a possible planetary companion; it is associated
with Archangel Michael, and eloquence, integrity, courage, agitation, loss and
violent death. This star is
probably the source of the phrase “hitting the bull’s eye,” and is said to
predict riches, honor and integrity, but those benefits are usually presented
through the passing of some kind of test.
Archangel Michael's main characteristics are exceptional strength
and courage. He fights for good to
prevail over evil, he protects and defends people who love Deity, and he
empowers believers to set their religious or spiritual faith on fire with
passion. Archangel Michael is often pictured wielding a sword or a spear,
symbolizing his role as a leader in spiritual battles. People sometimes ask him for help to
gather the courage needed to face and overcome their fears, to find the
strength to resist temptations, and to stay safe in dangerous situations. Archangel Michael is also considered a
key angel of death; his job is weighing people’s souls on scales.
Tishtya appeared to
me as a Roc. According to
Wikipedia, a Roc is a huge bird of prey, and one root of the word “roc” is the
Persian “ruk”; how appropriate.
The roc first appeared in Arabic history, and spread from there. The article in Wikipedia mentions
stories of these birds back to the 13th century and before.
