The Spirals of Summer

As like the dancing crane,in its course on the great summers labyrinth,as the currents of rivers and streams flow onward,the spirals of energy lead to the channeling of our energy in spirit to journey forth into other realms of being,as the dragongates and Faerie straight tracks awaken and open,we who begin the communion with nature herself draw ourselves upon the hidden roads,to the destinations within... here we will begin with a little ceremony and ritual that will help to attune to the rhythmic dance of the crane and the flight of the soul in the inner roads...

the triskele below is the ring weaving dance of the earth mother and the three-formed roads that intercede to the center of all things

Concentrating and contemplating upon the triskele with a rhythmic breathing,slowly and steady,gazing forth into the center of the triskele for a few moments you will begin to feel grounded yet you will also begin to feel a drawing forth,maybe up and out of your body,do not do this past a half-hour,and after this time close your eyes and let yourself drift,not asleep,but in a wakened state...after some practice you will soon begin to notice a feeling of movement and freedom,once this is noticed...try to visualize this triskele on the earth...and with three-white-crane candles lit about the three spirals...feel the sense of movement...and start swaying,stepping,and moving with the current latent within the spiraling triskele...until you are in a dance...an intuitive dance...seeing and feeling as like you are a crane...and notice the motions,movements and sensations...later after much practice..the crane can be seen as a dragon or a dancing power form of your choosing...even drumming in a low then brisk beat can aid in the current trancing to take place...when you are done and feel satisfied,sit and concentrate on the triskele again,and breathe slowly feeling yourself grounding,again

Noticing the entwining knotwork shapes and patterns,this is the life-thread of the Great Goddess to all of her children,the entwining serpents that enfold and interlace the spirit and mundane flowing one through the other...this is the power of the spiral of this season...of Lithia and Ivy Maid Moon(or any Moon)

tis the time of the magick of the faerie and sidhe and the potions,cures,and charms that lays it upon the tide of the Ivy Song for us all to attune with the maiden,enchantments,and seasons.
