Sun ( Masculine principle) - NE
The People ( our communities, families, the collective - physical form) - SW
The Centre, the Heart (the connection between the heart of creation and our hearts)

These are your Crone and Maiden aspects. Remember that you are the Mother ( whether or not you have children), you are the creational portal in each moment.
Once you’ve connected with them, spend time with them as you integrate and embody them more deeply.

A- Use the exercise, I share in this blog post to familiarise yourself with your relationship with the dark .
This will help prepare you for the deeper work we will engage in throughout the course, so revisit it as often as you are able.
B- The transmissions that have been transcribed in The Auroras and the Re-Creation are foundational to understanding the story of the Divine Crone, Tiamet ~ as I have been shown and told by my guides
» E-Book
C- This poem tells part of the story of the transition from Tiamet to Mother Earth. It is a continuation of The Auroras and the Re-Creation, as well as setting the scene for where we start the course … listening to their bones.

I recorded these videos as the course content deepened and the land spoke to me. The first is at the ancient Bone Caves and the second with an amazing mushroom being …
Overview and Mythos.
This is a Long, Slow, Deep year.
We start with connecting to our Ancestral and Crone energy though our relationship with the dark. Here we start to remember, clear what no longer serves, activating this powerful alchemical energy.
From deep within the clarifying luminous dark, where the cold has crept in - when the ice begins to soften, crumble and expand. Our skins start to crack as the light and warmth slowly return. New growth emerges, quietly, gently and tenderly at first before gathering speed in the warmth … finding the spaces to expand. Budding new leaves, feed the flowers who embrace the bees … until they become seeds containing the wisdom of that path of descent and growth … ripe and ready …
The seed begins it’s journey. First experiencing the exhilaration of liberty … exploring the enchantment of limitless potential …
Questing, visiting, discovering … the journey within the journey again covers the threefold journey of Maiden, Mother, Crone as this exploration brings deeper layers of nourishing understanding, quiet reflection and independent thought before choosing a path …
a thread within the weave to follow and starts to slow, deepen and settle …
these early seeds of Willow … while others fruit are reaching maturity, ripening at their own pace on their path, ready to release their seeds into the soil - they return … for this is the Willows Way.
Now is the Wisening … the gathering of all that has been learnt, all that has been undone, the reckoning of old and new preparing for the descent again … A sharing of pathways …
The journey of Crone to Maiden to Mother that holds within the freedom and wisdom of flight and exploration of the journey from Maiden to Mother to Crone
In all stages our focus is on the point of growth of the Willow Tree. We must also remember the whole tree …
Always working and weaving through the parallel layers, the macrocosm to the microcosm … finding the tight places, unravelling the knots that still bind, but no longer serve … where we find our Child, we also look for our Elder and our Mother … what do they teach us in those moments … when the focus is on one how can we widen our vision for the perception of all three …
The Mastery we learn from Grandmother Willow is holding them all in perpetual harmony
