Restoration : Tiamet and the Violet Flame
Last night though resting well I couldn’t quite drop off to sleep, I was feeling quite energised. About 1am I went outside and saw the Auroras, I stayed up to 3. The photo of the violet Aurora was a confirmation that it was time to share this post, which spirit transmitted to me a couple of weeks ago.
For most of my years I felt up to my armpits embedded deeply in the Earth.
It took much work before I felt I was standing on the Earth, in balance with her and the Cosmos. In contrast to the popular version of ascension, those who came from the stars,
I have always felt of the Earth.
As an edge walker of many realms, I have always been drawn to walk through the darkest places, for that is where our greatest healing lays.
I work with the Dark Mother. And I have always done so. I don’t share this much outside of conversations with my closest soul sisters, for she is too easily misunderstood and vilified, and has been for centuries, if not millennia.
She is known in many forms Morrighan. Lilith, Kali, the Cailleach and so many more, all equally misunderstood. I walked with the name Morrighan Sequoia for over a year, before I was given Aurora White Crow to move forward with, this was part of my final initiation with her, a sharing and transmission of her deepest teachings.
I shared some of this in my post “ Becoming Elder “
Generally speaking the feminine is dark, the masculine is light and our society has a preference for the clarity of the light and in doing so disassociates itself from the deepest darkest aspects of the feminine. Creating a ’fear of the dark’ and an inorganic flow of distortion.
I’m not denying the presence of distorted, non-beneficial, malevolent or nefarious entities, for they exist - and do so through all the realms - both dark and light. I am simply saying that maligning the ‘dark’ as ‘bad’ or ‘evil’ is inaccurate, and I wish for us to reclaim our language and look more deeply behind and beyond our words.
When we deny an aspect of ourselves, whether as individuals, families, communities or societies, we prevent and distort the natural flow, the natural order of life and living, creating an imbalance - and at some point, if not course corrected, there will be a crash. I have referred to this in my writing, for this is what I work with, like in this poem here written in ‘In Defence of Darkness and the Deep Feminine’
Here though, I want to talk about Tiamat, who is often associated with the Dark Goddess and often equally vilified, her destruction and reconfiguration. During the autumn equinox of 2022. I was part of the teams ensuring that the planetary convergence happened. We have been in the liminal space, which we are just moving out of, ever since.
This convergence was the retrieval and restoration of all past versions of our planet. This work had to be done first to correct the timelines and enable the ascension process. Past versions including Terra, Tara and Tiamet.
My poem Dragon King speaks to this.
Earlier that year I travelled extensively through Europe and, what became clear to me during my conversations with the lands, was that I was part of the restoration of the purity of the alchemical templates of the Violet Flame lineages. These templates were gifted to us, and developed with us, by beings from other galaxies - I was told that alchemy was our greatest invention. Without the simple everyday alchemy that so many beings on our planet are part of, whether the bottom feeders and fungi participating in the compost cycles or plants leaves alchemising sunlight into nutrition, our world, Earth couldn’t exist the way she does. And, of course, I wrote a poem about this called Light
The Violet Flame lineage is often associated with Tiamet, I’m am not entering into that discussion here though just laying down the threads for this weave. Tiamet was destroyed to give humanity a reprieve. There was a turning point and what I have been shown is that we made a sovereign decision to complete the destruction ourselves so that we could retrieve all that was sacred from her, and many were lost, sacrificing themselves so that we could. This grief still haunts many.
My poem Dragon King encompasses all this:
Sadly, as all too often happens with reprieves, we forget easily and if there isn’t the maturity to understand the privilege of not having to walk through the darkness required for alchemisation, they may not succeed.
For it takes a high level responsibility and accountability, usually born from experience or deep respect of our Elder Wisdomkeepers. Something that we have lost extensively, especially in Europe.
We’ve been taught to fear the dark, believe that spiritual matters were considered to make us ‘mad’ and all the ensuing persecution we endured. Whether you view this as something that was kept from us or something we weren’t ready for, depends on your perspective. Either way this created a reluctance, a lack of authentic support or adequate unbroken wisdom lineages to encourage engagement with the required shadow or inner work at such a subtle level that our communities, our societies could truly benefit and thrive on all levels of being - with no fear.
And yet, somehow, with the dedication and determination of relatively few ( relative to the world population that is ) - We made it.
So until Tiamet was reinstated during the convergence point, which meant that the Violet Flame had to be purified first, we couldn’t reach the threshold for planetary and personal ascension.
And that has meant facing our own distortions, malevolence, nefariousness, cruelty, spite, greed and all the ways we’ve maligned the luminous darkness of the feminine principle that brings creation into being. Within ourselves first, before being able to rebalance this, and bring it back into alignment with the natural order and sacred laws.
True potent power.
Venerated.
Honor is returning.
And after millennia of suppression, it is messy.
Here I weave my work in the world with the poetry I have shared. I rarely share the deeper meanings, allowing the resonance and transmissions to speak for themselves.
And there is more.
My work is to unravel, alchemise and dissolve these distortions and the mess they create during integration. And then pull the pure silver gold threads from the creational matrix to reweave back into the form of the original divine intention. And to do this I work with the Dark Mother and the Light Mother to hold the balance - like yin and yang - and they are contained by the One Mother, our Cosmic Mother. Enabling a restoration of creational harmony. This restoration is what we are all part of now.
In this post I share a simple exercise to connect more deeply with the creational darkness, if it resonates try it. If not let it go: Becoming Darkness Exercise
