O great ancient ones. Great ancestors, we call to you. May you hear the voices of your descendants traversing through time and space. We humbly ask for your support, your wise medicine ways and your genius solutions in these times. Dear ancestors, we wish to partner with you, for we know we cannot do this alone. As we traverse the mystery, we ask that you, our starry ancestors, are with us each breath of the way. May we have clarity of mind and crystalline vision to see through the dark. May we walk our paths of high holy truth, as that is what is needed now more than ever.
And so it is. Welcome to episode 110 of stars, stones and stories Hathor's magic mirror. I invite you to step through this gateway, this threshold, this portal, as we dissolve and dispel the darkness and trust all that has not come to fruition, to allow ourselves to let go of the dreams and the desires and allow them to fall to the earth, creating rich soil for the promise and the beauty of tomorrow. As I record this transmission for you, we are at the final hours of the balsamic phase of the moon, and the moon will soon rebirth anew into the birth, the rejuvenation of the frequency of Taurus. We have the sun and the moon meeting up with so many positive alignments coming in the next week, not only with the sun and the moon, but with Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. And so you are finding yourself deeply anchored within Taurus season, a time of fertile earth where you are being asked to focus on the material realm, to dive into your senses, your sensory system, your physical body, to enjoy the pleasures of being in a body. To express your sensuality, to taste delicious foods, to laugh with loved ones, to feel the expansion of so many different sensations, to hear the sacred birdsong, to intuit what is yours and what is not, and to welcome this frequency of I have we are in a time of year where you are being asked to focus on your resources, to create more stability for long term productivity. And this Taurus season opens up the gates to your inner lover, your artist, your dancer, your builder, to open to that part of yourself that wishes to bring dreams aground. People with strong Taurus in their chart, whether it is sun, moon, or rising, or one of the angles of their chart, tend to be the earth lovers, the chefs, the farmers, the musicians, the artists, the bankers, the accountants, the financial managers, and the deeply sensual beings of the zodiac. This is a sign that asks for your patience and determination so that you may stay the course. And so you were invited with this Taurus new moon, to slough off all that got stirred up in the turbulence of the eclipse portal which we've been engaged in for two months now, and to slough that which no longer serves off our your body, out of your heart, your mind, your psyche, to plant new seeds for your dreams and your desires that can take you the distance. Venus is the ruler of the sign of Taurus, in addition to Libra and Venus. In Taurus is like Venus as the evening star. She desires for you to find great joy and pleasure, to cultivate practices that bring you in harmony with nature. Venus, as this elder sister to earth, is here to remind you that you are here to express the art of living, to embrace elegance, and that beauty is not always pretty. Venus teaches you how to be fierce and ultimately, how to be sovereign and free, which is so essential in this year of the dragon. Many ascended masters are believed to originate from the planet Venus, or have passed through this as a portal. And Venus, as goddess, is known by many other names in various cosmologies, from Inanna, Ishtar, Isis, Aphrodite. And her sacred fruits are apples, pears, plums, cherries, berries, and Hathor. Hathorn. However, it is Hathor or Hathor or het, her who is on my heart at this moment, as this Taurus new moon brings the marriage, the sacred union of Hathor and Horus. And this new moon also brings in some powerful alignments a beautiful marriage that extends out into Venus, Uranus, and Jupiter, an easeful aspect to Saturn in Pisces. And so the question is, what shall you create with these seeds of possibility? I will be exploring the expression of this new moon in depth in our ma magic inner circle. So if you're called to join our beautiful community, you may do so with the link in the show notes. Or you can go to Earthsea Temple arts.com and scroll on that welcome page and find the link. This season of fertility and the connection to the land has each one of us at a turning point in time and space. The new moon after any eclipse portal is quite pivotal, and a new moon in Taurus brings you right into the heart of your value system as a human collective. At times it may feel like we're disempowered or there's just so much challenge and conspiracy and forces out there that are wishing to cause corruption and chaos. However, we are sovereign, beautiful beings born of the divine, of God, of goddess. And how you choose to spend your time and how you choose to vote with your dollars have a great impact on your life, your relationships, and the world you're creating for the generations to come. Star stones and stories ends with you are a hologram. For the collective, a hologram is like this three dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or another coherent light source. Way back in the day, when the first Star wars seemed so technologically advanced, we would see holograms of these beings coming through. Now, here in 2024, AI has arrived, and there's absolutely a great amount of people who are exploring the realms of transhumanism. Our digital footprints and what we do with our devices in many ways speak to the reality you are co creating for the generations to come. One of the most powerful things that you can do is put your device down and go outside, free of any device, and connect with the earth. Draw in the elemental forces and offer your vote for humanity, a vote of radical self love and radical earth care. Venus, as the elder sister to Mother Earth, reminds you of your inherent wildness, and that you've come here to celebrate the natural world, which is the true material world. As we deepen into this age of Aquarius, there is the possibility for the entrepreneurial spirit to become even more alive. And we need the technology to work on behalf of humanity and in service to the earth, not against us. Therefore, we must continue to go back to our roots to honor our earth, to honor that which surrounds you, the elemental landscape that you live within. Coming home to earth is coming home to the reality that the bones within your body carry the stories and the memories of the ancestors that have come before you and the bones of mother Earth. The stones of the earth carry many stories and many myths that are wishing to be told within you. Within the seat of the self, there is a possibility to awaken your divine feminine frequency and divine masculine frequency, the omega and the alpha, and to create a throne of true sovereign consciousness. Just as Goddess Isis carries the throne on her head, she is the symbol of sovereignty. SHe is the dwelling space of sovereignty, and you are the dwelling space of your sovereignty. Your higher self is your connection to your crown, your sovereign, true self. We are inherently one with nature. Many of us have just forgotten. And when we go to the earth and when we go to the elements, we come into sacred remembrance of this reality. Ultimately, each one of us is on our own unique internal journey to learn how to create from within. Each one of us carry the birthright of the God, the goddess, and that reality of oneness with nature. You are a hologram for the collective. HieroskAmos is the sacred union, the divine marriage of the feminine and the masculine frequencies, just like the sun and the moon. Here in the northern hemisphere, we are deep in the season of Beltana, which is a time when many fires were put out in ancient times and a special new fire was lit, the need fire. And this fire was a place of gathering and celebration, where couples would come together and run and jump over the fire together to pledge themselves to one another. Just like at Samhain, the veils are thin at Beltana, allowing fresh insights and knowledge to come through, to be transmitted from the spirit world. Here in the north, as we're shifting to summer solstice and the southern hemispheres shifting to winter solstice, we are coming to opposite peaks in the north, coming into this peak of sunlight and the conscious outward expression of ourselves. We are coming in a time of great fertility and positivity, a time that is also asking you to seek deeper meanings, to question things and to continue to grow. And in honor of this sacred union, this fertile season, we're going to explore this Hieros, gamos of Hator and Horus. Hathor is an ancient goddess whose roots travel back through time, and she emerges in predynastic Egypt before neolithic times. She is primordial and she is connected to the sun. We can find first markings of her at the nabta playa, not too far from Abu Simbel temple. Hator as the cow goddess, as the sky goddess represents the great expanse of the sky and all of the multitude of stars. Her symbol is often connected to the cow, to the fertility of the earth and the land itself. She is a goddess, and most importantly, she is a protector of women. As a goddess of fertility, she supports women as they cross the threshold into childbirth. And Hathor's magic weaves beauty, dance, joy, song, a knowledge of the stars, and so much more. There is a hymn to Hator in the egyptian book of the dead, stating, hator, lady of the west, she of the west, lady of the sacred land, eye of Ra, which is on his forehead, kindly of countenance, in the bark of millions of years, a resting place for him who has done right within the boat of the blessed, who built the great bark of Osiris in order to cross the water of truth. I have a deep devotion to Hathor as this goddess of childbirth and women and song and dance and creativity, as an artist, as a woman who has witnessed many women give birth as a mother, myself, as a woman who has walked through Dendara and other temples to Hathor many, many times. I love, love, love every time I see Hathor, she has appeared throughout many temples in Egypt. And there's just something so innately joyful and beautiful, beautiful about her. There is so much magic to be spoken of Goddess Hathor. And there's a beautiful practice of gratitude that I'd like to share with you. I've shared this before in previous episodes of Star stones and stories. And as we're sitting here at this threshold, getting ready for the Taurus new moon, which Taurus season, in my opinion, naturally connects to Goddess Hathor. Hator has a deep connection to Venus. And when I speak of Venus, I mean the planet Venus. And hator reminds us of our eternal connection to the stars above and to the earth herself. The five gifts of Hator is a practice of gratitude that was said to be a ritual of the egyptian people, particularly peasant farmers. And this ritual is for the people at large. And it is a very simple ritual that in any time of turbulence, where you find yourself shutting over and over again and closing doors and letting go of people and places and ways of being, sometimes we need to bring more gratitude to allow us to come back to center. We need to bring more gratitude into our daily lives. Many of us know about the practice of gratitude journals, and these are very potent. And when one stops feeling grateful, darkness can cover the psyche with disbelief, bitterness and resentment, and we start to become hardened. Therefore, we can all expand with more gratitude in our lives. No matter what is going on in any one person's life, there is always something to be grateful for. A light heart of gratitude is like nectar that connects you to the other world. And the more you connect to this nectar, the more you are offered to create in your life. To practice this gift of Hator, you are invited to name five things you would miss the most if you were to die right at this moment. And after you have named your five gifts, you are to raise your left hand in front of your face and look at each finger and thumb as a representative of each gift. These are the five gifts of Hathor. Each day you have at least five opportunities to offer up your gratitude. If for some reason you should lose one, no matter what, there will always be another. And as you go about your day, notice that each time you look to your left hand, the five digits remind you about your five gifts. The gifts are abundant. I imagine you could easily count on each hand and foot, and therefore you can easily find 20. When I open these podcasts, you hear me chanting with the sistrum. And the sistrum is a tool of hator. She carries this instrument in her hands, and in Dandara, you will find the sistrum in many places, hidden places, even dark hidden crypts, wherever we have fallen asleep in our own lives or our collective lives, the sistrum of Hathor is shaking you awake. The sistrum of Hator is shaking you awake. In your personal life and in this collective reality, may the Sistrum shake you awake so that you hear the mighty call of your ancestors. You have such great work to do. This taurus new moon is here to remind you that you are in a marathon of great transformation, and that collectively we are building new earth consciousness. The sacred marriage that you cultivate from deep within allows you to be present for a giving economy. And so with this new moon, I encourage you to ask yourself, what do I value? How do I manage my resources? How do I manage my time and money? How do I share my resources with others in these times? How do I support my abundance with others who offer what I value? How do I express my gratitude? How do I tend to the land? How do I honor and respect the, the earth's resources? And ultimately, you are invited to expand through the heart, to remember in life, every frequency comes to fear or love. What are you broadcasting in the quantum field? We must all take responsibility and accountability for that which we are broadcasting. And gratitude is the way forth to honor the earth, to sit with the mother, to meditate. And if you find yourself seeking new ways to connect to the earth and feel grounded and anchored. Each day, I invite you to join in my upcoming online course, Earthseed. This is my signature embodiment course that offers you essential principles and practices for personal empowerment in these radical times. And you're going to learn how to connect with your unique blueprint through your energy centers, your chakras with the earth's crystals, so that you align with the cosmic rhythms of the sun and the moon. And by synchronizing your physical body with the sun and the moon, you will awaken to the power of what it means to be an activated human. And you will receive teachings that are going to inspire you to thrive in the age of AI. Be the EI, embody the Earth's intelligence and the timeless beauty of nature with Earthseed. I created Earthseed in 2020 and 2021, and I've taught this course three times now for three different cohorts. So this will be the fourth cohort, and I'm really excited about this opportunity to circle up. I'm making some shifts, and everyone who registers for Earthseed will have permanent access, which means as I evolve the course, you get to benefit from that. Earthseed consists of ten pre recorded teachings that will be delivered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and three live lab synthesis sessions on Saturdays. And so we're going to begin on Tuesday, the 21 May. The first teachings will be revealed at noon Eastern daylight time, and we will journey together through the 22 June. So it's essentially a month long course, and there's ten different temples you will explore. Each temple has a different stone guardian. For instance, there is the temple of Peridot, which connects you to your heart chakra, your heart center, the phase of the gibbous moon and the season of Beltana. And so, in each temple experience, you will learn quite a lot about how to connect with that particular chakra through the stone that is being shared. You're going to learn the taoist principles of each stone and how to work with the stone for healing in your own life and how to connect with it. Much like hator, not only do I want to route to the earth, I want to route to the earth for a deep understanding of the cosmos and the stars. Did you know that astrology is a timeless language? If you're interested in learning the basics of this art and science so that you can fully master your unique cosmic blueprint, I invite you to step into skywalkers. This is a foundational astrology course where you will explore a unique alchemy of both ancient and modern astrological techniques. This course instills the basics of astrology so that you can expand with elegance as an intelligent timekeeper. Skywalkers begins on the 22 May and will run until the 22 June June. And like Earthseed, there are pre recorded teachings delivered weekly on Wednesdays and then there will be 290 minutes live lab synthesis sessions on Saturdays. Skywalkers is going to take you on a journey through a history of western astrology. You will master the elements and modalities, the planets and their archetypes, all of the zodiac signs and the houses, and you will learn how to discover your sole purpose in your birth chart. We will have live synthesis sessions that are going to teach you how to look at a chart and how to find planets and the zodiac signs and the houses they're in and how to break down this meaning in a very digestible, simple chart reading I love teaching both earthseed and skywalkers because these are the foundations to the Golden Gate Esoterica, the ancient future mystery school that I steward through Earthseed temple arts. There are future courses coming and I highly encourage all initiates to complete these two paths of learning. First, Earthseed gives you the practices and principles to master your spiritual expansion in a safe and grounded way, while Skywalkers offers you the basics of astrology from both the ancient and modern lens. We really break down the basics in these courses, which sometimes people think that they're too advanced for the basics. And I will tell you, I constantly find myself going back to the basics of any topic that I'm interested in exploring. Whether it is astrology or meditation or ancestral healing or sound healing. I would be honored and delighted for you to step into the portals of Earthseed and skywalkers. I have bundled these courses together in an earth to sky. If you would like to take both, there are payment plans for all of the options so you can check out more about each course and the breakdown and what you're going to learn and specificity through the show notes. Or you can go to earthseedtemplearts.com and you will find information on how to get all those details. Time bending with the temples of eternity in service to Sekhmet this is a powerful pilgrimage from the 30 October through the 19 November that will take place this year, 2024. We are going to begin in Aswan in upper Egypt and we will journey through each temple traveling north along the Nile. We're going to explore so many temples and tombs as we continue to venture north. We're going to explore middle Egypt and many sites that very few people travel to in modern Egypt. Sacred sites that are holy to Akanadan, Queen Nefertiti, Queen Hatshepsut and Thoth Tahuti. If you wish to know more about this pilgrimage, write to supportseatempalarts.com to receive the full invitation. There is a discount available for those who apply and submit their non refundable deposit by the 25 May 1. More invitation I have for you is that I would love for you to join the complimentary online Earthseed Temple arts community this is a space that I am nurturing and growing and really falling in love with because I find that social media often feels toxic or stressful and just not a place where I necessarily want to be regularly engaging with. And I think many people are feeling the burnout of social media. The Earthsea Temple arts community is a place where you can connect in with like minded people and you can receive gifts that I offer regularly in honor of this Taurus new moon. I will be sharing a very special sound healing ceremony through the Earthsea Temple arts community and so all who are registered will have access to this gift. Again, you can find the link to join that in the show notes and with that we will close with with the hymn to Hator. Let me worship the golden one to honor her majesty and exalt the lady of heaven. Let me give adoration to hator and songs of joy to my heavenly mistress. I beg her to hear my petitions that she send me my mistress now. And she came herself to see me. What a great thing that was. When it happened, I rejoiced. I was glad I was exalted from the moment they said, oh, look at her. See, here she comes. And the young men bowing through their enormous passion for her. Through their enormous passion for her. Let me consecrate breath to my goddess, that she may give me my love as a gift. It is four days now I've prayed in her name. Let her be with me today. May you walk with beauty and know you are a hologram for the collective. May there be peace to the east, to the south, to the west, to the north, deep through all the layers of mother Earth. May that peace spiral out into the cosmos, through the great central sun of all suns, and weave back and thread deep into the center of your heart. And so it is. And so it is.
And so it is.
Ashe.
