Many who know me, know that I've been mostly quiet for a good deal of time now because I've been busy with my wife (known here on the forum as Lapis Solaris), and that most of business stems from last year's total Solar Eclipse that passed through the US (on Aug. 21st, 2017).
We took this eclipse opportunity to both bind ourselves together, and to replicate a very literal and precise Microcosm of the Macrocosm. We went with a "Divine Cinnabar" path, using an enlivened Philosophical Mercury (enlivened with our quintessence, which you can see within this video here) and a Philosophical Sulphur of the most Noble sort. Our Sun and Moon were ready for a union, we just needed the right time.
So we journeyed from south Alabama, up through Gatlinburg TN, enjoying the Nature and sight seeing, and cut through the mountains to Cherokee NC where we camped for the night. Monday morning (day of the eclipse) we sat out for a tiny little town called Andrews, which put us dead center of the path of totality - the perfect spot to soak up those Macrocosmic energies.
We found a nice spot off the side of the road, away from the masses of gawkers, and we set up our Sacred Space and began our meditations. We simply had to wait then.
Finally the moment was at hand. The light began to dim, a strange energy filled the air, things got cooler, a type of twilight took over everything, and Nature became silent and still. All stood in awe. Totality hit, we removed the eclipse glasses we had on, and took in fully the energies of the Eclipse - words fail us here, it was an initiation and a direct, in the body, communion with the All/One God as we looked it in the Eye.
Just as the Union took place Above, so we also performed the one here Below, mixing our Sun and Moon in the flask. The flask went dark, just as the sky did, and together we meditated with it, allowed it to soak us in its light, peering into its core, as it pierced through ours, all as we called it down into our little flask.
Then it was over. It was like being baptized. The light afterwards was different than the light before. We continued to meditate, there was some deeply profound things told and shown to us - nothing for anyone here to concern themselves with; things about ourselves, and what we are meant to do, and be doing.
Our flask retained those energies, our Blackened earth ready for the next phases - as were we. We were in the Black Phase, conscious of it, and ready for our resurrection.
We returned home, and set the work to incubate. During such time we had all manner of Shadows berate us. Troubled sleep, hellish and troublesome and stressful dreams - nightmares is an understatement. Strange noises would emanate from unoccupied rooms, and outside. All such activity got worse at night. Things would make the dogs who usually hang out at our back door, decide to abandon their favorite spots and lay low for the night. We ended up becoming night owls, finding it easier to sleep when the sun was out and the Shadows quieter, than to sleep at night when they had ruling influence.
Then, upon the darkest of nights, the dawn broke. From the black soil, came the growth. Life emerged from the darkness, and the worst was, seemingly, behind us.

This was the start of things getting better. But, Shadows don't only go for the blackened soil, but also the plants that grow there. We more easily continued this subtle struggle, and continued to incubate and cultivate the Work.
During this time, we began to settle into a slightly more normal routine (but anyone watching the time stamp will probably see I'm typing/posting this VERY early in the morning (currently at this moment 4:10 am lol), so old habits die hard), and at times when we least expected it, we had the strong presence of an entity threatening us, and the entire power grid at that same moment shut down. Twice this happened, the first time was explicitly strong. The last thing it tried was while I still worked for the ambulance company (I've been an EMT for the last two years), we were hauling a patient to the hospital, no big deal, it wasn't very late and I wasn't remotely tired. As I went around a curve on my way, it felt like I ran straight into a trap/portal and it majorly fucked with my head. It was is if the world and everything around was spiraling and twisting, and the very sense of gravity and where it pulled from, changed and was moving around. Luckily I was able to hold everything together, keep it all straight and steady, and my medic in the back didn't even notice.It all returned to normal after about a min, and never happened again. (I did get my medic to check my vitals, just to make sure there was nothing physically wrong with me. Everything checked out.)
Upon going back home, we pushed the Work - was time to leave the Black Phase all together. (Green is but an interim of it still)
Thus, we entered the White Phase.
Because I've used the maximum number of allowed photos and videos for this post, I'll continue in another one. This is a bit of a lengthy show & tell, but I hope you all enjoy it. ^_^
(To be continued...)
