Voice of Pythia, Delphic toad and Gaia...
Gaia speaks to us in unlimited ways, announcing herself in any given form, often outside what we may sometimes expect. And this is what happened for me at Delphi, while walking with my temple and travelling SiSter through the grounds of the ancient Delphic Oracle site on a recent pilgrimage to Delphi, Athens, the Cycladic island of Syros, and finally, Crete.
The song of Pythia amidst the golden mountain grasses of Delphi resounded throughout our journey and time in Greece - the oracular voice of the sacred feminine presenting herself over and over, with upraised arms and tender softness - as this exquisite replica of one of the Minoan Goddesses from Crete evokes...
But first she presented herself in a form so many of us turn away from in disgust - that of a toad - sitting upon an ancient stone at the Delphic Oracle site - her eyes large spheres of light shining with love that mesmerized me.
I am here she seemed to say I have never left - rather it is that my presence has been overlooked through the cycles of recent time and the forgetting... See me now and know that the Pythia priestesses of Gaia are singing their return.
Arriving home from our Greek journey her message stayed with me and I would like to share a transcript section as spoken on 21st October - a small segment of a session I shall never forget - not only for the content but also, once my body spontaneously took up what I have come to call the cobra posture (supine), the breath-work I was given experience of - which seemed to provide opening of the portal beyond what I have previously known.
For me, akin with my meeting with the sacred toad, messenger of mother Gaia for rebirth - the message is replete with unconditional love and hope...for the restoration of All of Nature and how we know both her and ourselves.
Breathe...
Here is the space
the hallowed ground
Breathe...
Be quiet now and listen...
to the whispers of the wind
and the earth breathing...through ancient stone
...and ground
the hallowed ground of being...
Pythia speaks…
through her body
she releases the unbound
that she has held for eternity and more…of this realm.
This is the time for the releasing
so that the Voice might be free once more -
the sacred voice
the sacred presence and flow
of the energy of the Pythia…
the time to celebrate the completion…
the holding is no more
the voiceless… the damming of the sound and of the waters…
the damming of the waters of her body
the damming of the waters of her Joy of her ecstasy of her bliss
of her Seeing of her Knowing…of her Voice!
The body of the Serpent
the deep sacred Feminine…
The waters of Light the waters of Life
the waters of the flow…the Castalian flow
Castalia…
crystal waters…the life-giving waters
the light the star seed the quartz crystal within the waters…
she flows once more.
These waters are rising up through the earth once more
bubbling through the cracks…
It is time now for the crystal waters
to cleanse, purify, to wash with sacred light...star light…
the star seeds that they carry through
from the Pleiadean Source conjoined once more -
freed once more…
Her body has held…her body has been dammed -
and yet no more…
There is no judgement no recrimination -
this has been the order of the Divine
of the balance of the Above and the Below
of the greater Oneness
that most don’t understand…
and yet this is not necessary,
for the time is now the time is near the time is right
the time is So
and All that which Is, is unbidden
and comes regardless at its perfect timing.
The Divine Law and Oneness of the Sacred Mysteries
and the balance of the whole
and the Oneness of this planet
with its Mother
with its Mother countries
with its Mother Light…with its Mother Ships
with its Mother Origins…
and they rejoice and shine
and weep sacred tears of light…of water…
the tears fall upon the planet shining with gossamer sheen
birthing Her in the Love that which She Is
and so while all might seem to crumble and dissolve…dismantle…
and yet this is the Rebirth
the conjoining once more until the next phase
the Golden Light and Oneness…
the new annunciation has begun.
(Shift in Voice…)
Carrying and holding the part that you each carry
that which you each are…
seeds of Light of the One Matrix of Divine Order -
the human journey is so much more than you realise
and yet it is in the forgetting that this is cast –
the forgetting is needed to be in order for the remembering - restoration
to unfold through natural course or else this would not
have occurred… and yet it is contradictory.
Do not judge of yourself when you perceive limits or failures
to fulfill your sacred task - the seed the star seed that you carry
and that you are manifesting and bringing forth
through the fabric of your being.
All is in order.
And when your mind is fraught with the constraints and
the binds of the illusion of your forgetting
and the tensions that flail about you and within you...
the cords that connect you to others and their destinies and
their shared role in this unfolding…
remember, and return to the hallowed ground
and the space is there for you to draw breath
and continue.
None of this is without worth and cause
Have faith
Stay with this
Stay with this
Stay with this….
Pythia sings once more
She knows you.
