Creator/Destroyer/Preserver
The seminal issue in this archetype is feeling into our present relationship to attachment and where we are with it in our journey of liberation. Please read the Oracular interpretation of the Oracle for the Creator Destroyer in the 13 Moon Oracle (p 64) which goes into detail about the nature of attachment. “The short form” is that attachment is the negative telepathic agreement we have with ourselves and with each other to mutually hide from the truth that there is nothing but ceaseless change. It is important to work with and clear this seminal issue in our spiritual journeys. Why not NOW!
Always recognize the opportunity you have through this self initiating curriculum, to both embody the qualities of this archetype, and through that focus on your wholeness, to heal the shadow aspects that you are clearing within this energy. A major reason you would want to remember and work with the qualities and the shadows of each archetype is for the purpose of “prescribing” for oracular queryients and people who come to you as a priestess for many reasons.. Rather than mentally memorizing these qualities and shadows, you would work directly with them, asking the crystal, the tree, the element etc. to reveal its innate wisdom to you. Meditate and then speaking from the position in consciousness of ruby, ginger or the frequency of red, white or black for example, to receive its teachings directly. (I am onyx and I) This is the way of the Goddess, to honor all life as sentient, conscious and wise. If you can SIT with the tree or herb, all the better.
For that purpose, please choose one quality and one shadow from the “Elements to Evoke and Establish Archetypal Resonance” list in The Creator Destroyer through which you will lens your reality this moon. Because this is a life time curriculum of self initiation in the Goddess, each year, (or time around the wheel) you would pick different qualities and shadows to focus on and lens your reality through, so there is infinite holographic reflection from these various aspects, for a lifetime immersion in Her depth, beauty and wisdom. For example embodying the quality of impartiality and healing the shadow of any remaining victim thinking might be one choice of lensing a quality and shadow for this archetype. Remember, these archetypes are alive and WILL interface with your life in very concrete and profound ways, when you reach out and offer yourself as a vessel for their embodiment here on Earth.
Please make note in your journals and on sticky notes as to what you are committing to focus on for this moon.(especially quality and shadow lens). Post it up somewhere so that you stay aware of it all moon. Change happens very rapidly in this kind of alchemical container, AND you can support that possibility with your mindfulness!
Keep playing with your JOURNAL to deepen your experience of this work and track dreams, art, images, meditations etc. is essential to this depth dive into your inner worlds.
Each moon/archetype, speak the Invocation in the Alchemy of Ecstasy OUT LOUD (if you can with one other player.) The vibrational truth that is revealed is very different than reading words. Each piece is Sacred Theater and meant to be taken in through vibration rather than mentally.
Meditate in depth with the three cards from the 13 Moon Oracle that are associated with this archetype: one sacred tool, one archetype, and one frequency card. “Take in” .. that is really be deeply with, the associated oracles on each card.
Work especially with the mudra, mantra and sound principle for each archetype. They hold great wisdom! ***Sacred Geometry is the most quintessential aspect of the Mystery. Please meditate with the sacred geometry for each archetypal face (the squared circle this moon). Let it offer you divine truth and wisdom directly! Look in your daily life where you see this sacred geometry.
If it is your delight, please set up a simple altar for this archetypal face of the Divine Feminine to begin collecting images and totems for the Creator Destroyer archetype. A red/white/black altar cloth or cloths, a crystal skull/labrys, calla Lilly and red roses whatever your heart resonates with.
If it is in your joy, answer the questions (that begin on page 187 in the 13 Moon Oracle) out loud with a priest/ess sister or brother or in your journal or the Diad questions with another pries/tess that are found at the end of this letter.
If accessing your gifts, tools and lineages from many life expressions is of interest to you, look at the Archetypal Star L:lineages section in the Frequency Oracle and meditate with that.
Alchemy may seem like a totally arcane, irrelevant and complex subject. It is not. It is about raising your vibration. Sit with the Alchemical Principle. Meditate with it. Then, in your journal, answer the question that is associated with that principle that is found in the Frequency Oracle in the 13 Moon Oracle..
If you are interested in knowing about how our reality is shifting on Earth at this time, read the “Changing Reality Constructs” sections. They seem difficult, as they are quantum in nature, but as you familiarize yourself with the languaging, they offer amazing clarity on the process of birth we are in as a species on this planet.
“Homework for the Creator/Destroyer Moon”
EACH MOON: FEED THE FEMININE FIRST .. that means.. to make a commitment to start each day, even if that is only for 15 minutes.. doing something that celebrates the ecstatic body of beingness..rather than moving into a more male Doing mode first thing upon arising.. that can be dancing, scribing your dreams, singing, honoring the goddess at your altar,
listening in Emptiness and Silence, making love to the self, whatever nurtures and fulfills YOU.. this is a SEMINAL aspect of archetypal interface. surrendering to the feminine self that you are and nurturing her FIRST.. not being tricked by the ego into zooming straight to the computer or office, or car or whatever.. without a thought as to what it is that would actually start your day off in JOY and ECSTASY as a feminine being!!.. believe me, if you do this one practice, your life will shift dramatically.
The primary issue in consciousness that is being focused on this moon in this archetype is ATTACHMENT. Be willing to look at the nature of attachment and how it affects your expression, relationships and perception of reality. There is a lot of material in the Alchemy and 13 moon about attachment. Please dive in. This is an important part of any spiritual curriculum to have clear awareness around! And in this regard, be willing to look at what masks of identification you are most attached to.
Each face of the Divine Feminine has a temple rite for embodying the energies of that archetype. In this case it is the Rite of Mystical Assimilation: The Eye within Rage: Unmasking Essence. You will find it in your Alchemy of Ecstasy. This will take some preparation with materials and time, so please make note ahead of time, to get the materials necessary for the rite (especially mask making materials.) This is a powerful and important rite. There is not one of us, as wo/men, that has or presently doesn’t feel anger/rage. It is a powerful force that can be positively channeled. Please be willing to deepen with this in this rite. Freeing the life force that is suppressed in most women, has benefits to health, creativity, and general enjoyment of life. When you do this rite please remember to complete with the Consecration prayer and sacrament (of black and red berries and squares cut up of hicama) if you wish to deepen with embodying this archetype!
Listen to the CD for the Creator Destroyer. Write in your journal what gifts were offered to you in this journey.
The most quintessential distillation of each archetype is found in the two word description on the 13 Moon Oracle game board. To truly understand and embody the archetype, these two principles need to be experienced directly and integrated. This moon, in your personal experience, answer the question. “What is the nature of focus in the process of creation?”
As with all the moons, track the moon cycle on your 13 moon wheel, starting with the dark of the moon/new moon, moving the token around the moon as you notice Her change to stay in tune with the moon cycle that is being recapitulated in your belly. Watch how your moon cycle is connected to the bigger cycles, as a sacred rite. Treat your moon cycle as holy. It is.
This moon in particular, there is a focus on using the moon wheel as a manifestation tool. So in addition to just tracking the cycles of the moon. Look in your 13 Moon Oracle at page 25-26 at the cycle of creativity as a whole and see how the Goddess manifests intention using the moon phases cycle. Please consider starting with the new moon with a clearly stated intention, to follow the intention around the wheel, doing what is appropriate to empower your intention in each phase of the moon! (We have witnessed miracles from many of the women who have really focused on learning to embody this process of manifestation that is the female way of bringing into form.) This is the moon to train your awareness in that process, should that be your joy to do!
The sacred tool for this moon is the crystal skull and the labrys. This is the moon to work with learning to focus your small mind as a tool, a laser beam to manifest the intentions of Essence and Higher Mind. Mediate with the crystal skull card and read that material to bring this process to full awareness and then keep an awareness of the role of mind in the manifestation process this moon.
This is the moon cycle to focus on learning how to work WITH elemental forces in general, to manifest. There is an attached “mindfood” around this subject to deepen in this ability. Be WITH the elements this moon: Earth Air Fire Water. (with a focus on fire this moon.) If you want more “information about elemental interface, look at your bibliography to see what book might appeal to you to deepen with working with the elements. But as always, there is no better Source material than to go directly to the Source and learn from it. Be with the element of fire this moon. Sit with a fire from beginning to end and garner its teachings. As we move thru the wheel we will work with each of the elements to deepen with, at least twice.
This moon, please work with another priestess in deepening with your divination tool, mirroring and Empty Presence. These are seminal skills of the priestess that require consistent practice to master. That is why they called priestesshood “the craft”!.
Work with the qualities of this archetype such as the mantra and mudra, tree: elder, silver fir, Ohia tree, crystals: temple linghams, ruby, kerkimer diamond, onyx, flowers: calla lily red rose, squaring the circle geometry. Be with the scent of frankincense/myrrh. Be in the direct frequency of these three colors, red,white, black. See what they have to offer you directly. All lensing of consciousness through these discrete lenses brings richness to our understanding and ability to utilize these elements for assisting ourselves and others.
Please pay attention to the shadow elements of this archetype. They are very important to feminine well being. That is, for example, finding the positive intention in anger. What is your anger trying to bring to your awareness and resolution? Are you taking full responsibility for your life without being a victim of it? If anger is an issue for you, take time to go out into a forest with someone who is willing to hold safe space for you to release and liberate stuck emotions and to down-load your anger by banging a dead tree or throw rocks to just let the power of your (or collective feminine) rage and anger OUT! Give anger a voice this moon. Let it offer you its wisdom. (This may feel contrived at first, but you will find if you allow yourself to do this, immense power is released and can then be freed up for creative use!)
Call at least one of the priestess’ in the virtual priestesshood in the moment you feel intuitively guided, practicing the art of subtle listening to the telepathic currents of etheric information that are always washing over us, to sharpen that skill.
Create a song, story, poem, dance, piece of art translating your experience of your embodiment of the Kali Ma archetype and energy!
Each moon, please make time to deepen with these questions with one other priestess. It supports our alchemical container, your understanding and offers priceless insight direct from your internal guidance and Source.
Diad Questions for The Creator Destroyer:
Use this as a practice time to allow these answers to emerge from the womb of silence and the heart temple of your essence, rather than from the past reservoirs of the ego mind. Don’t be attached to words coming up, perhaps only an image or metaphor will arise. Allow the Mystery to speak in its own way. Before you begin, please sit in silence to establish essence contact in Source and resonance with each other. Given adequate time, if nothing emerges from the silence of essence, let the question go rather than answering from ego and what you have known from the past.
To what roles and masks are you most attached? Consider carefully: “What are you getting out of staying stuck in attachment?” What is it that you fear in being alone? Do you believe that personal love should last forever? What false mask of self did you take on growing up in a culture that fostered inauthenticity? What do you not like or judge about yourself? or What is your primary disowned mask?
Name three qualities or attributes in humans to which you are powerfully attracted. Name three which you are powerfully repelled.
(Read this when you have finished the last question. That to which you are most powerfully attracted and repelled defines and limits your experience. Impartiality creates the fertile ground in which higher consciousness has room to grow.)
What do the colors, red, white and black have to offer your awareness directly in this moment?
