Primordial Mothers

“The Norns – Ancient Mothers Weaving the World” Artist: Monica Sjoo

I had the following dream nearly two years ago.

Bring Up Bones and Ring that Bell – October 7, 2022

I dug into the Earth and pulled up a skeleton, all grey and ancient. This skeleton belongs to me, as an ancestor. The cervical spinal cord hangs below as I feel the weight of the skull in my hand. I hold the Skeleton up to get a better look, and notice to my right, partially buried in the Earth, is a ceremonial temple bell. I step down, deeper into the ground, to become sacred midwife in this primal act of unearthing the Temple Bell.

As I hold the Skelton in one hand, I pull the bell from the Earth in the other. Holding this massive heavy Temple Bell in one hand, the strength of the Ancestors rings the bell, as I use the skull as a mallet. A frenzy takes over me as I ring that bell, a deep sound carries forth from within the Earth, and across generations.

I am banging the skull against this sacred bell, over and over, and over again. It’s sound must be heard around the Earth. I see the grey skull crack and disintegrate in my hands. I feel my strength and my will return. I feel a freedom and liberation is heard as I sound the Temple Bell, a call to the ancestors, and a call to the sacred that has been buried, but is no longer silent, no longer unseen. I feel a spiritual power and strength in myself return that is primal and cannot be turned away from this task of bringing up the bones, and ringing the bell of the ancestors.

I feel this call of the sacred deep in my bones, and it’s sound must be heard. I feel this prayer deep in my bones with my heart and soul.

Ring them bells that still can ring,

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack, a crack, in everything,

That’s how the light gets in.

– Leonard Cohen

The Temple Bell calls the primordial Mothers at this time on Earth, exactly two years ago this dream came, and a year since the events that spurred a genocide in Gaza, whose fires of war have spread to Lebanon, and now Iran. These world events unfolding reflect the primordial grief and pain of this ancestral history buried underground. Yet today it plays out under the guise of privilege, where lives of the innocent are of no concern.

Dr. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang writes in her research into Korean Temple Bells as a return to the sound of the primordial mothers. A call to the whale mothers and dragon mothers. The most wise and primal powers of Earth and Sky. “The Whale-dragon bell awakens moderns to what has been forgotten, the interspecific bond, originating from a pre-patriarchal time, between matriarchal shaman head mothers and whales.“ (Ancient Korean Whale Dragon Bell, Hwang, Helen).

The Dragon energy is one that rises in the Spring and rests in the Autumn, it is also a time when the Eclipse of the Sun and Moon can be seen with the South Node of the Tail, a time of release which we just had in Libra carrying the energy of Justice. The recent Pisces North Node Super Lunar Eclipse creates a hunger for destiny and shows up in our dreams. Now at the tail of the Dragon in the South node in Libra for this Solar Eclipse, we are at the end of this two year cycle. Perhaps now in Autumn, the dragon can rest and a ceasefire can hold.

In the Holy land there are several versions of destiny, making a nest of dragons underground.

I am reminded of the story of Merlin who became seer and guide to King Arthur. In the story of his becoming Merlin, it begins when he is but a lad when called before King Vortigen, whose castle keeps falling down, and must be repeatedly rebuilt. His council of wise men tell him, he must sacrifice a fatherless child in order to overcome the crumbling foundation.

Merlin questions the wisdom of such a proclamation, and as seer is able to see underground where the problem resides. His vision reveals dragons underground causing the crumbling tower. He recommends digging up the foundation to remedy the problem.

“ When Merlin bests the wise men and instructs them to dig below the tower, they find a dragon’s nest. The child of Matriarchy reveals the “snakes” below the foundation of the new paradigm. “ (Strand, Sophie, The Flowering Wand).

These dreams of Bell, Whale, and Dragon reveal echos of global resonance and divination into the past, present and future. They require deeper digging to find the wisdom underneath, the sounds of the Primordial Mothers are no longer silent.

Second Sight Dragon King

The Celtic tradition considers a cowl covered birth as a sign of one who is gifted with second sight as a seer. A dragon king in the Celtic way would be one who is given the power to rule through the Earthly powers of the Goddess.

I kneel down before a newly born cowled face dragon, and reaching down, pull the cowl from his face. I gather the baby dragon in my arms and decide to adopt him as my own, as a mother of dragons.

I bring him home and give him a soft furry kitten to cuddle up with as a comfort companion. They cuddle up together, and sleep, but the dragon wakes.

He looks at his spikey back and tail, and his scaly skin, and then at the soft furry white kitten. Although he likes the cuddly kitten just fine, he needs to become what he is born to be. He steps over to a golden crown and circles round inside, and makes a nest inside the golden crown. This is where he belongs.

I see then a young boy of 7 or 8, with blonde hair wearing a golden crown. The baby dragon has become a Dragon Prince.

As I type this dream, I am watching Sandman on Netflix, and as I type about a dragon becoming where he belongs as King, I see a dragon enter the scene flying through the air. The Lord of Dreams, Morpheus takes the dragon back into himself, he must take on something he has created from the dream world, that has become physical in the waking world. He creates a snake and a dragon egg from the dragon powers, as a gift for the fates. The dragon egg hatches and a baby dragon is revealed.

This interweaving with the dream world and the waking world is revealed even as I type this post.

On the other side of my dreaming, I delved into researching the Dragon King, or Dragon Prince, which takes me into Slavic territory. I find a folk story of a dragon King, men and women of power who can travel into dreams and practice weather magic. They have protective powers to enter dream realms and battle for territory to protect the fields for a fortunate harvest. A Dragon King can only come from a Mother of Dragons.

The Celtic tradition considers a cowl covered birth as a sign of one who is gifted with second sight as a seer. A dragon king in the Celtic way would be one who is given the power to rule through the Earthly powers of the Goddess. “The Celtic Goddess of the Land expressed as Maeve or Mead is an example of the Dragon’s energy as fertility in Irish history. The Dragon is the life force or energy of the land that rises at Spring and rests at Autumn. “ Spirit of the Celtic Dragon – – celticdruidtemple.com

I am reminded of the story of Merlin who became seer and guide to King Arthur. The story of his becoming Merlin begins in his youth as a teenager when he is called before King Vortigern whose castle keeps falling down after being repeatedly rebuilt. The wise council tells him he must sacrifice a fatherless child to overcome his tower crumbling at the foundation over and again. This is how Merlin enters the scene, he questions the wisdom of this demand and as a seer is able to view the problem from the ground up. His vision reveals dragons underground which are causing the shifting foundation and crumbling tower. He recommends digging up the foundation to remedy the problem. “When Merlin bests the wise men and instructs them to dig below the tower, revealing a dragon’s nest, the child of Matriarchy reveals the “snakes” below the foundation of this new paradigm” (Strand, Sophie, The Flowering Wand p. 102).

“These dragons are easily connected to Tiamat, Inanna, Cybele, Lady of the Labyrinth, Eve, Medusa.”

We see in this dream, the potential of a sacred king, born with the dragon powers of vision. The ancient powers of the Goddess are bestowed upon a son of the Goddess. A sacred King to protect the land, and the people. The dragon powers are not for making war, and dragons need not be slayed, as part of a heroic male quest. The fatherless son, need not be sacrificed to the sins of the father, and countless wars, where the towers of empire crumble over and over. To heal these wounds, we must reconnect from the Earth up, and encounter the dragons sleeping underneath, who are dreaming of the birth of a Dragon King with second sight.
