Bealtaine Omens 2003 C.E.
A)Past: Luis, Sight.
Luis is Rowan, the opening of the eyes, gazing ahead, looking
around, perceiving reality, noticing what is there. It is the
sentry standing vigilant at the doors of the mind. It is the watch
moving with torches to light the darkness of night. It preserves the
safety of the city of self, the castle of well-being. It illuminates
the puzzles, perplexities and riddles, casting light on the pages of
the scroll of the knowledge of life. It is the means by which we
walk safely along the road of understanding. It is how we recognize
where we are and what was hidden by the shadows ahead which it
scatters.
B)Present: Ngetal, Healing.
Ngetal is Broom, health and healing. It is bathing in the waters of
life, washing off the dirt, cleansing our wounds. It is purifying
the temple, cleaning up our room, tidying our abode, physical,
mental and spiritual. It is both soaking in the relaxing healthy
warm water and vigorously scrubbing. It is calm meditation and the
laborious attempt to learn new things, the determined effort to
understand all that we have learned. Cleaning up, tidying up means
that we may find a new arrangement of our meals, of our exercise, of
our periods and patterns of work and rest, of the furniture in our
habitation and within our minds and hearts, with some old and
possibly less healthy material tossed away.
C)Future: Sail, Intuition. Those at last night’s ritual may recall
that I said then that the aspects feeling particularly strong to me
on this one then were the rythmic and the feminine.
Sail is Willow, the slender, the graceful girl. It is the intuitive
leap, vision and imagination. It is the dream and the quick
realization of what the dream means. It is the moon moving through
its cycles. It is the ebb and flow of the tides. It is woman. It is
life. It is the Wheel. It is the birth of a psychic circle, the
opening of the pages of the book of mystery. It is the growth of
vegetation. It is the development of the meditative, the psychic
aspect of being. It is harmonizing together. It is progress in
magical work alone or together. It is the supra-rational reaching of
perception, whatever may be the reality revealed.
