8-8 Lions Gate
8/8 – Our spiritual sun makes a magificent appearance! The Lion’s Gate.
Each year on the 8/8 Sirius comes into alignment with our sun. Sirius is twice as big and 26 times as bright. This is the time when our planet receives peak magnetic energies. So, set your intentions, take some quiet time and expect a huge influx of positive energy today!!
Today is another celebration for me as it marks the 7th anniversary of when I finally admitted to myself and the world that I needed help. That’s the path that lead me to here and what I’ve written about in previous blog posts. It also marks the ending of a dark cycle in my life (YAY!!). As I look out into the world I see all sorts of darkness coming out of the shadows and into the light. For our understanding and for transmutation. So many brave and courageous souls are involved.
At these times let us live in our hearts and come from a place of love. And to warm your heart here are some direct quotes from the last few pages of a fabulous book that tells the story of the sacred monuments of my homeland. England. I grew up very close to Stonehenge and Avebury and never knew the deep truth about these fabulous and sacred places. A book that I have had for three years and finished yesterday. Divine Timing indeed.
Taken from the “Sun and the Serpent” by Hamish Miller and Paul Broadhurst, 1989.
The people who built Avebury and Stonehenge possessed secrets of the vital Life Force that were once the foundation of civilized society. This civilization, working with the priciples of natural science, had gone through a great transition at some remote time, yet the elements of its understanding had persisted in the form of esoteric religion and traditional mythology. The pieces of the jigsaw were still being discovered and fitted into place, but the image that was taking shape was of a landscape; a landscape of immense antiquity, obscured beneath the depradations of history and modern exploitation, but which is of vital significance if we are to re-establish a harmonious rapport with Nature. For hidden in the English countryside are secrets preserved for all time. In its monuments, hills and watercourses, the people of ancient times left clues to the unchanging nature of Universal Laws which would outlast humanity itself. Perhaps they knew that one day people who have been deprived of their birthright to live according to these Laws would gaze upon the landscape and once again sense its profound purpose.
Today we stand at a crossroads of evolution. To continue down a road that leads inevitably to an even greater alienation from Nature is clearly against the Laws of Creation. The remedy has been forced upon us: We must consider the Earth as a Mother who gives us Life, a treasurehouse of everyday, miraculous events and nurtures all its creatures according to their own characteristics. This is a very ancient view. In coming to a conscious realization that the Earth and its inhabitants form a living while, we will have transcended the barrier of time to link spirit with those who lived their vision in another age. As another great cycle of Time draws to a close, the dawn of a new understanding illuminates the horizon: Humanity will assume its proper place in the scheme of things as co-creators of the world around us, a voluntary return to Divine Law. The memories that are now stirring within every individual are a response to new energies flooding into the Earth’s field: It is for each person to become conscious of their role in this Great Work and participate in the process of evolution.
Happy Lion’s Gate
