When we travel through the dark highway, who do we call?

Egyptian god Anubis by DiVeena  It’s been a while, and I have to say I owe this much of my absence to an inward journey I’ve allowed myself to be on. Mind you, it hasn’t offered much enjoyment, but I suppose it suited me as well as this social course we’ve all endured since 2024. I, like many of us, had been in denial for the first year of this. Just like the Covid experience, our society has been implanting messages into our populace. Shutdowns saw people starting businesses, experimenting with AI art, writing, moving, marrying or divorcing, having cosmetic surgery, and adopting new perspectives. And ... for some of us, we just got to feel the discomfort of being in the box.  By the way, I pray that we all are well in the awareness of finding our personal clarity and working to explore ourselves and all that pertains to our lives. I’ve had a prompting this morning after my meditations to write something. What came to me was the Egyptian god Anubis. Knowing my launch is typica...

Embracing the Dark and the Mystery

Image
  Egyptian Goddess Nephthys by DiVeena In the seasons of our lives, we experience light, dark, and the in-between. We live for the light; we rest in the dark and in the in-between times; we get nervous. Well, mostly, we let panic and fear set in. Hence, we have anxieties and health problems and do not know what to do with ourselves. Some of us run, others put on a big show and rush to get involved in anything as long as we’re doing something, and the rest of us drop into despair and apathy.  However, if we reflect on our experiences, (especially those of us that have been on this planet for some time), and we look back on when we had the courage to face our fears, we actually get through it and reemerge into a new level of experience. All in the name of growth. When we finally see that light and can have the courage to call out in our hearts and minds the reality of the situation, that is the revelation and no matter how many emotions flow through our being, we can t...

Mid Autumn Season is Respecting Transformation

Image
  Again I've waited about a year to get back onto this post. And, .. again it is the autumnal season when I do.  Interestingly, fall is my favorite time of year. Even though I'm a late cancer and born during the height of summer, the fall is when I seem to gain the best conscious awareness during my annual earth walk journey.  I have strong Scorpionic positioning in my astrological chart, with a Scorpio rising, Pluto and Mars on MC and 2 personal planets in the 8th house.  In my Asian astrological chart, metal is my "lucky" element and therefore anything pertaining to the western directionals is most suitable for me.  The west according to Earth traditions resonates with fall and its transitional journey between the bright world of youth and summer to the dark, somber mature experience of winter.   It's mid fall season 2023. We've had our chance/dance with Libra (hopefully we've regained some awareness of who and what relationships are important and ha...

2022 Autumnal Equinox Balance , Justice and Harmony

Image
  Egyptian Goddess Maat by Diveena Marcus Blessed Autumnal Season onto you! As I write this, it is just hours before 2022 Autumnal Equinox.  The phenomena when the daylight and the night on planet earth are equally balanced when the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.  Well, if you get real technical, it really isn't exactly equal.  Those of us that live closer to the equator it will be more true to the account.  The farther away, the more unequal.  However, the most important aspect of the fall equinox is that it is the official commencement of the Autumnal season.  The moment the earth experiences the shift to the Autumnal season, she also travels through the backdrop of the Libra constellation and we experience the zodiacal sign of Libra. Libra represents the polarities of our lives.  The opposite of Libra is Aries.  Hence, the awareness of what is important to us personally (Aries) is being reflected upon by the associations (Libr...

The Essence of Essential Oil

Image
  I write this blog in honor of Beltane and the blessings we have on our planet, especially for those within our environment that bring the beauty, spirit and life force at its paramount into our lives.  Most noticeably are our plant relatives and their beauty and the power of their essential life force that they naturally and freely offer to us just by being themselves here and now.   My love affair for scents came long ago, when I was a teenager.  Initially, I had an aversion to plants, but I had to deal with them for some time, as my mother was an avid gardener.  Wherever we lived, she had a garden.  My father was in the U.S. Airforce and we lived in various states in the United States, in the South Pacific and in Europe, and there was always a spot in the yard where my mother would garden.  By the time my father retired from the AirForce, I was in High School.  My parents purchased some land in Sonoma County in Northern California where m...

Sustaining the Essence of Our World

Image
Greetings and best wishes and blessings during this 2022 Winter time. The image that holds the energy of this blog space is of the Egyptian Goddess Bast that I envisioned back in 2003 after I had returned from Egypt.  She was the last of the 13 images of the particular Egyptian pantheon group I produced and presented in my exhibition at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose California, 2004.   Many folks had suggested I do a collection of 22 paintings for a tarot deck.  And that would have been grand on one level if I was guided to do so.   At the time in my life I was on a journey of personal discovery and I entrusted my travel to the guidance of the universe and to the tutelage of the particular archetype that wanted to be embodied in my life at the time. Each god/goddess that I produced beckoned to me to their particular initiatory experience.  It was only after I experienced their story in my own life was I able to bring them forth into the w...

Summer Sensitivities

Image
Smith River, CA -Wild River Del Norte County (Del Norte County has the most wild rivers in all of CA) I think back to the summer of 2019 when Marcus and I took a kayak trip down the Smith River in Smith River CA.  We live minutes to Jedediah Smith National Forest and we could not pass up a July trip right in our backyard.  So we joined a group of visitors and foresters and kayaked down the Smith River.  All I can say is it was outstanding.  Crystal Clear waters, quiet, and the smell of pine with real live visions of eagles and bears.  The genuine stuff that a veritable river (one that has never been dammed) offers to our planet; to all peoples, mineral, plant, animal and humans.  What a gift.  As I reflect on that trip and sit in my literal backyard with my residential racoon, squirrels, slugs, a myriad of birds, occasional bear, cougar and ancient trees;  I am so honored and filled with gratitude that I am in presence with the aliveness of place....
