New Moon Fire Magic
For some reason I’m incapable of deciphering, this new moon felt particularly deserving of a fire. I would’ve written about our most exquisite fire last night except for the fact that I wanted to remind you to engage in the Perelandra Biodiversity protocol today.
I don’t often take photos of the fires that we have, but last night’s was a beauty from start to finish. It began with Karl laying a fire that ‘took’ immediately and vigorously.
Despite its willingness to burn so wholeheartedly and without a lot of coaxing, it never exhibited any aggressive tendencies, which was fascinating to behold. It was as if it desired to ‘burn friendly’ right from the very beginning. It was, indeed, lovely.
An hour or so into the fire’s life – which again, was remarkably happy and practically jovial – it began emphasizing geometric shapes amid ethereal figures.
It got to a point where the triangle essentially resembled an angular black hole. Both Karl and I were transfixed by the prominence of the triangle, which occasionally took on a pyramidal appearance, although that illusion (?) was hard to capture.
Karl eventually (and characteristically) needed to go to sleep. I, also characteristically, needed to sit with the fire in otherwise utter darkness until it was ‘complete.’ My devotion (using that term only just now, but feeling it wasn’t an accident that my fingers chose to write it) was rewarded.
At first, it was clear that there might be a fire spirit that wanted to see if it could frighten me into going to bed earlier than I’d anticipated.
No dice. I wasn’t scared. I was, however, impressed by the ferocity with which the embers were choosing to express themselves. And in an effort to engage even further, I commented on what I was seeing and asked that the Spirit of the Fire speak to me, if it felt so moved. What would it like me to know or do? How could I be of service to the greater good?
And then…
I cannot even recall why I snapped the photo when I did. But when I looked at it later, the Being who’d appeared was undeniably apparent. And even though it remains crystal clear in this photo, let me assure you, the way it manifests in the ‘live’ photo I took with my iPhone makes the entire appearance all the more magical. I swear, it’s as if I could almost hear, “Help me, Obi-Wan. You’re my only hope.”
New Moon Magic, pure and simple.
