Key 1

Green bed                                   

Lie here safe.

Green heart

Rest here whole.

Green jewel                                           

Rest here in light.

Over all and                                    

Over Earth,

Completion.

Sufficient.

Wrapped in clouds

Held, not forgotten.

Endless is the mystery

Of life

Finding itself.

Sun and stars, even,

Watch amazed.

Green heart of

All things

Key 2

Starlight

Ripples outwards.

Past, present, future sitting down

To feast at the same table.

The ancients from whom we  descend

Graciously remain;

Their old wrinkled faces,

Their stone fingers,

Reveal the bones, extracting

Meat and marrow:

This is where eternity crystallises.

This is where soul, stone and star converse.

Procession of coincidence.

Listen: The music of time.

Key 3

No where nearer

The Isles of the Blest.

The dead gather together,

Warrior and child.

Coaxed by a hand of hills

The land launched

Into silver sunset ocean.

Go on, you can do it

It will be alright.

Wonders await you…

The voyage into mystery

Stepping stones to heaven.

Eternal islands Eternal seas.

Key 4

At the green knees of Beinn Tangaval

Little cave,

Stream of inspiration. White Dove.

Among the wind and weathered rock

Orchid, lousewort and asphodel, secret and safe.  

In the bay: turquoise and violet  waters,   Arc of white sand.

On the lochside shore White feather on the air.

Key 5

Mountain

Wearing a cloak of flowers.

Grey door.

See in new ways: Relax, allow your sight.

Where your attention flows,

There is a doorway.

Veils of rain Thousand primroses

Wonderful!

Melt meanings Dissolve barriers.

Music is the ordering of silence.

See with your heart.

Nothing is hidden but in clear view.

You yourself are the key.

Key 6

To bring us home safe

She awaits upon the hillside.

To bring us home safe—Old roads straight worn

From loch to lochan. The cries of seagulls

From the land Lost in mists.

Bell      Chalice    Cloud  Watcher.

 Key 7

Cap of invisibility

Cap of indivisibility.

From whence do the elements separate?

From the instant of central balance.

From what flows the certainty of form?

From the heartbeat between what was

And what will be.

At the corner of sight

Eyeblink or distant lightning?

What you know will blind you.

The oldest foundations are no longer in sight.

The ancestors watch this world, all have names,

Sing their genealogy, have woven you.

Sink into the weave

The world wears you.

Wear yourself lightly

Leaving no footprints.

Key 8

The heart beats

Then it stops

Then it starts again.

 How strange!

The eye that is

The organ of understanding

Is the well

From which fall tears.

Stormclouds rush in,

Salt on the air.

Amongst the leaves

 A thrush singing:

Listen, listen, listen to me.

Beauty, beauty, beauty.

No heart can overtake

The long passages of time.

Beauty dissolves, kings,

Saints, seasons, tides

All vanish, vanish

Into the hollow hills.

The hollow hills

Will vanish into the sea

And sunset.

The eye

Forever bathed in tears,

The heart that

Starts and stops -

The thrushes song.

The clouds

Pass over:

Sunlight,

On the mounds of the dead,

Dancing

With the eternal dancers.

Key 9

“Your science of rigidities

 Are lies of the fearful.

We here are void and free.

Infinite, immortal flow.

Limitless, deathless

Tuned, turning tides,

Roaring silence.

Impossible song

None can forget.

 Escape your frozen fears,

Melt

Meander,

You are, anyway,

Made vessels for our fierce bliss.

Flow, Willing,

Let go.

Find us, Void and free.”

Key 10

“We shall give to you here

The skill of the song of the Land.

Words of silver

Words of gold

Sweet gale and honey

On the tongue tip.

The melancholy of the curlew

And the lapwing.

The smooth stream of the blackbird;

The harsh heart of the eagle.

For you are only human -

Life as sweet as the scent of violets

And then gone.”

Full Set of Sovereignty Essences (10)

Samhain Goddess~ Morgan, Queen of the Wheel

This essence gives the opportunity to create intense healing and integration at a fundamental level of being. Encouraging better contact with the Earth, it aids grounding and the ability to draw on deep levels of personal power. Imagination and inspiration can be used in everyday, practical ways. It can help to understand deep emotions without the need to share them with others.

{Euonymus europaeus, Tagetes Lucida, Laccaria amethystea, in the presence of Mandragora officinarum during Samhain, Scorpio Lunar Eclipse and Mahalakshmi}

Winter Solstice Goddess~ Ragnell, Dame of the Riddles

Meeting the challenge of dealing with emotions is highlighted by this essence. Whilst keeping a dynamic and outgoing outer energy, the hidden world of ethics, morals and beliefs that control our lives, is made available for us to reassess and create healing for ourselves where necessary. This can be especially useful when working in group  situations.

As we find our security in new surroundings we can work for all beings using our fully developed creative drives

{Heimia salicifolia, white Petunia ssp., Datura metaloides, over Artemisia absinthum and Blue Light, during the Autumn Equinox}

The Earth Goddess

This essence is useful when feeling disconnected from life, insecure, isolated, overwhelmed or ungrounded.

“By allowing space for our own transformation we can best meet the needs of our planet and our community. With extra clarity in our thinking we can see through the illusions around us and onto what we can do to make a difference.”

{Viola odorata, Chieranthus chieri, Ribes sanguineum, Mandragora officinarum over Sodalite.}
