It’s Personal

In February 2020, about a month prior to the pandemic storm, a dear sister and healer invited me to try her newly created float tank, and knowing my connection with dreams, she was keen to have me try it to see how it might be a helpful modality for conscious dreaming. I was also keen to try it and the liminal space created by floating in salt water, providing a primal womb of dream incubation. I focused my intention in my float session on personal healing and gaining any insights that would be helpful for me at this time. I had been doing a lot of private healing sessions on individual clients, and knew the salt waters would be restorative for my energy field as well.

As I floated in the tank in a conscious dream state, that place between waking and sleeping reality, I saw images come and go, then suddenly, dropped deeper into a dream, which opened before me from the core of my being. I was now inside a conscious dreaming reality with an Oracle Goddess, who emerged from a mountain. Her face, her hands, and her breasts became visible. Her strong voice was heard inside my dream. She said, I have not been seen in a very long time. It is time for me to emerge. I tell her I had set the intention to work on personal work, and not focused on collective energies right now. It is personal! She snaps back! Alright then, I am paying attention! I then see a volcano next to her, with lava flowing down, and molten lava erupting from the top, as the face of the Goddess Pele is reflected in the fires of the Earth. I feel her powers of destruction and creation. Suddenly, I hear cows mooing and see them grazing in a peaceful green pasture, and the Blue Faced Goddess Hathor descends from the Pleiades, with her nurturing and peaceful, loving energy. Finally, I see the Three Goddesses before me, a blazing fire beneath HER feet. I am human sized, standing before them, but in the body of Kali Ma, Black Mother Earth, Treasure House of Compassion, Giver of Life to the World. I run toward the sacred fire with fierce love and compassion and lunge my ceremonial knife (truth) into the Sacred Fire (Life). The Oracle Goddess says, It is done, and it is good.

These days I am opening myself to deep dreaming as a guide through the tumultuous times we are facing. I seek guidance in this world, and the otherworld, in this time and other times, everywhere and everywhen.

People of the Land

February 13, 2025

In the Dreaming, I am on a quest to return to the old ways and people of the Land. I found a community of people living in connection with the land and the ancestors. It was through an eruption of a volcano, that the return of the ancestors came to be, and I came to know myself more than ever before. I was sacrificing myself for future generations.

I found myself in the Dreaming, where two separate realities were before me. I had a home in two different places.

I held in my hands two swords from ancient times. One was Persian, and engraved with calligraphy, the other was the shape and make of an Egyptian Khopesh Sword, first appearing in Sumer in the third century until making its way to Egypt. The sword represents power and authority held by deities such as Sekhmet. I crossed the blades slicing against the steel, and when I made contact it opened the dreams, rituals and stories held in the blades, and brought out the secrets held inside.

As the dance went on, mud was rising to the surface of the Persian blade over the carved calligraphy and the stories of the land were revealed. The memories held inside the ancient blade came forth as dreams hovering before me within the dream. Portals of pilgrimage for the Pele Volcano, A sacred waterfall, Uluru Rock, and the Egyptian pyramids. Visiting one of the houses on my multidimensional timeline, I open the door to the backyard and see the dream portals hovered before me as entry points to the Everywhen.

Everywhen

Uluru Rock is located in Australia, and considered the place of creation and sacred to the aboriginal peoples. “The Dreaming is used to represent Aboriginal concepts of “Everywhen“, during which the land was inhabited by ancestral figures.” It is considered the Navel of Creation.

Uluru Rock, Australia

The Halemaʻumaʻu crater at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano is home to the Goddess Pele, her name in hawaian is ka wahine ai honua, which means “the woman who devours the earth”. It is a place of destruction and Creation.

Kilauea Volcano

The waterfall may be from the Big Island of Hawaii where beautiful waterfalls are found around Hilo. The Rainbow Waiānuenue waterfall is a sacred place where the Goddess Hina is connected.

Rainbow falls in Hilo Hawaii, home to the Goddess Hina.

The great Pyramid of Giza is considered a gateway to the otherworld, and the mysteries of the afterlife and ongoing journey of the Dua, or soul.

Myth

My research indicates the deeper story of the Sword dance is connected with myth and prophecy. The Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet known as the one before whom evil trembles, is a warrior and healer. She was known to wield the Khopesh sword associated with protection, justice, and disarming enemies. As healer she was known to cure all ills, even plague and pestilence. The Khopesh Sword has been traced beyond Egypt to Mesopotamia and Ancient Sumar.

Prophecy

The Persian sword known as Zulfiqar is believed by early Shiʿites to be brought down from heaven by the archangel Gabriel and given to the prophet Mohammed. The sword disappeared and is considered occulted in the unseen until the time when the world is in a state of complete tyranny. Recently a sword with calligraphy as being identified as the Zulfiqar sword has been identified and confirmed from 1500 years ago, and within the language of the time. In the 13th century, the great Sufi poet Jalāl-al-Dīn Moḥammad Rūmī portrayed Zulficar as the incarnation of al-Ḥaqq, or Divine Truth.

Dreaming Pilgrimage

Taken together these 4 portals of pilgrimage contain a formula of ancient wisdom from ancient peoples whose mystery traditions may be a remedy or map for the times we are encountering now. A Map of Creation, Rebirth, Healing, and Soul Flight. Dreaming can help us in all of these areas, and while it may be more difficult to make a physical pilgrimage at this time to each of these sights, we can visit in dreaming through entering each of the hovering portals.

Embodied Prayer

The sword dance holds a powerful energy at the intersection of sharpening truth and discernment. One blade holding prophecy of the people of the land coming forth, at the cross section of a powerful warrior goddess Sekhmet, who cleansed the Earth of the darkness of men. This sword dance is a gathering and reclaiming of power, able to defend the vulnerable, and a return to truth and justice. An embodied prayer of the land, and the people of the land.

I invite you to join me on this dream pilgrimage, to enter portals of Creation, Rebirth, Healing, and Soul Flight, to dance into myth and prophecy and heal the stories held in the land, and join in solidarity with the peoples of the land, to bring justice to the vulnerable and protect the peoples of the land.

Dream Weaving with Spider Woman

In 2009, as I returned from a vacation in Maui Hawaii, I fell asleep on the plane as I was landing in Phoenix Arizona, and I had a dream of an enchanting song playing, and a rainbow map.

Rainbow Map

I see a map of Arizona, there are rainbow colored arrows pointing from Flagstaff and Sedona southeast at an angle to a particular spot on the map and then the arrows go back up headed northeast. I can hear music playing in connection with the arrows on the map.

When I woke from the dream, I look out the airplane window to see a rainbow ached over the Phoenix airport where we have just landed.

Wake-up Call

Later upon return home, I dreamt of hearing a woman’s voice speaking to me. She tells me it is time for you to accept your own power, it is time for you to wake up! I can see a large tree that has appeared several times in my dreams previously.  I then see under the earth in the area on the Rainbow Map I was shown, there is a huge lizard that lives under the earth. It is moving and I can feel the energy of it, I can see the scales of its skin and the design of it with red and black in an intricate woven design. The energy that I am feeling and seeing in the dream suddenly is in my throat and then into my heart. I feel my rib cage expand open and it cracks loudly. I am now feeling the energy of the Lizard Woman and she is calling me to her. She says, you need to come to this land. I feel the deep coursing energy of this place in my own body in my throat and heart. I feel the energy of this lizard that has been woven together through story and song through the centuries of the people who inhabit this place. It is a place of deep healing and a place to embody power. EOD

The map below tracks indigenous ancient peoples and mirrors the rainbow map I was shown. As well as the giant beaded monster located underground that traces the Gila wilderness from the Gila Cliff Dwellings in New Mexico to Pueblo Grande or Phoenix Arizona. In my dream, three locations were shown to the Northeast in Arizona as I looked at the map from Phoenix, and three locations mapped in the Southwestern New Mexico. The alluring music continued as I looked at the dream map, and I felt I was being called to visit these places, but I knew not why.

Rainbow Mapping

In 2013, I lived on the Turquoise trail, in New Mexico and had this dream.

Chaco Pilgrimage

I was dreaming about the people of Chaco Canyon, seeing the immense pilgrimage that went on where people traveled to the city to take part in a harvest festival. They wore beautiful colorful clothing complete with parrot feathered headdresses. The pilgrimage came from Mexico as they walked the turquoise trail to Cerrillos and then onto Chaco Canyon where thousands of people were gathering for the festival.

I later discovered what I had dreamed into was in fact was true, my bit of dream archaeology was confirmed during a visit to the local historical museum in Cerrillos, New Mexico, which had an article about the history of the Turquoise trail.

“Teotihuacan as the probable source of the Puebloan’s mythology of Spider Woman as world creator by way of the ancient Mogollon culture that flowered much later at Casas Grandes. Contact between Teotihuacan-to-Mogollon-to-Chaco Canyon and Cerrillos mines in New Mexico likely originated in the turquoise trade.”

In researching the ancient wisdom of Spider Woman and Great Mother of Teotihuacan, I discovered her web intersects with the ancient Mogollon peoples in the Gila cliff dwellings, and the Anasazi of Chaco Canyon, in New Mexico and Canyon de Chelly in Arizona. The intersecting energies include the turquoise trail and pilgrimage between Teotihuacan, and Chaco Canyon, as well as the rainbow paths shown in my dream that marks the territory of Gila Cliff Dwellings, Hawikuh and Gran Quivira, in Southwestern New Mexico, and Chaco Canyon, New Mexico and Mesa Verde, and Canyon de Chelly Arizona. These energetic pathways marked by the Great Goddess of Teotihuacan expand to emerge in Peru at the most ancient civilization in Caral.

Caral Peru

In 2023, I had a dream that showed the overhead view of two ancient civilizations. I was told by an unseen guide that sometimes there are events that happen where a large group of people die in some kind of elemental cataclysmic event. When this happens, an entire group consciousness becomes an elemental group consciousness. I was shown this is what happened in Chaco Canyon and Caral, where no one seems to know why these civilizations just disappeared one day.

Chaco Canyon

“The image of the Spider Woman is another primary cosmological and ideological symbol associated with the Milky Way as a river of life shared with Teotihuacan by the Moche, Maya, and the modern descendants of the Chaco Puebloan”

Like strands of the web of Spider Woman or lines of a story, the energetic elemental pathways move forth as a force of sacred ritual and empowerment. My dreams are weaving me into ancient pathways of pilgrimage to reveal the mysteries of those who walked before us and whose stories are wanting to be found. Now, I have the map.
