Door Number 21: The Hermit Portal

I finished painting this portal on May 14, 2020, right around the time Jupiter went retrograde. I needed to wait for paint and glue to dry, but mostly, I needed better light for photographing it. Michigan rivals the Pacific Northwest sometimes! I love the gloomy days, but they don’t make for good indoor photographs. This “door” has been knocking on my subconscious for months. I thought I’d begin the weekend of March 29th, tapping into the world’s pandemic “hermit” mode; however, when the world goes crazy, I get busy. I’ve had so many sessions that I didn’t even start working on it until the week of May 4th.

As usual with these portals, astrological timing superseded my own plans. May 4, 2020 marked the actual crossquarter day of Beltane, when the Sun crosses 15 degrees Taurus. Beltane is a fire and purification festival, and also one of two key times the trooping faeries change residence — the other being Samhain, on or near Halloween. Even before I knew much about astrology, the doors — literal then, now sometimes canvas with painted doors — either featured astrological signatures or began or finished on key dates like Easter Sunday or Pentecost. This Hermit portal is Door Number 21:

The bottom isn’t crooked like it looks. I just can’t get it to photograph or crop right on my phone. The bottom and right edges are gray and the darker blue. The lighter blue is the wall behind it in my office. For some reason, whenever I try to photograph doors or canvases, something weird happens with the angles. By now, I’m used to it, but just to clarify, the portal itself ends with the gray rock and dark blue sky.

Powerful Full Moon in Pisces

The Moon entered Pisces at 5:52 a.m. Eastern US Daylight Savings Time. I hadn’t planned to write about the coming powerful Full Moon in Pisces, but a beautiful dream, client sessions, and so many synchronicities urged me to give everyone a heads up. As the Moon makes its way through this sign of dreams, mysticism and intuition, pay particular attention to dreams (awake, asleep and especially somewhere in between wakefulness and sleep).

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, September 11, I awoke from the most amazing dream. I wanted to go back to sleep, because I’ve been in a period of high strangeness, little sleep and major insights. I felt well rested and whole when I awoke, but I wanted to roll over, feel into the deliciousness of the dream and go right back to sleep. Instead, I received the persistent message to get up and record the dream in an email to a friend, but to send the email to myself instead of the friend so that I had the timestamp.

Odd instructions, right? And hey, if I’m not even sending the email to the person it’s addressed to, why can’t I just write it when I wake up in the morning. I would NOT forget this dream. It’s one of those dreams that stays with you — that you return to again and again. At least, that’s how it felt to me. I’ve had a few of those in my lifetime, and they continue to inspire a sense of awe and wonder whenever something triggers me to recall them.

I tried to ignore the message to get up, because I really wanted to sleep and just “be” in the dream. I rolled onto my side, but the message came stronger. The image of the dream played over and over in the background like a silent and holy soundtrack. Major synaesthesia (blending of senses — color of sound, vibrational harmony) pervaded my awareness, but that annoying voice overlay wouldn’t let me back into the silence: “Get up now. Record the dream. Email it to yourself.” Over and over like a nagging child pulling at the fringes of my brain. Arggh! Those Dream Guys never quit. Just write the damn thing so you can get some sleep. After five or ten minutes of this annoyance –still overlaid with the beauty and harmony of the dream scene, which kept replaying itself — I went to my office and dutifully sat in the dark, in front of my laptop.

Here’s what I wrote:

6/14/14 Recap

Since I posted earlier regarding my dream and others’ predictions about 6/14/14, I thought I’d give a little recap. Synchronously, the moment I started typing this current post, a comment came through on the “What’s Happening on 6/14/14?” post, which summarized my own sense:

Laura,

I think the “good guys” have won…..they, the dark ones, are being routed…

I was just beginning a post to that effect when your comment came through. 🙂

It has been sooo much easier in my healing practices and meditations…0

Indeed, for most of the people I know, 6/14/14 proved to be that lotus blossom, emerging fresh from mud — the image that haunted me from my dream.

For David, 6/14/14 happened to mark the official end of a very long slog in the employment realm where he has tried for eighteen months to downsize to a position of less stress, better hours, and less responsibility. All the while companies kept “recognizing” him by placing him in higher responsibility, higher stress, less fun positions, even though he didn’t originally apply for those. Compensation, though slightly higher in those other positions, did not make up for quality of life issues and work bleed-through into the rest of life. The results of David’s work life were so not what we had envisioned for our time in Goshen! A window of opportunity opened a few weeks ago, and David leaped through it, right before that same window slammed shut and locked for the foreseeable future. In our own household, 6/14/14 clearly revealed itself as cause for joyful celebration after a very long slog through the mud!

I’ve also heard interesting stories from various friends and clients, many of which I can’t share here due to confidentiality. Two themes appeared: 1) continued presentation of the Cosmic “Are you sure?!” and 2) finding oneself in a “dangerous” or “precarious” position only to discover oneself as “safe.” One client had the second message underscored when, on three separate trips, she found herself booked in the emergency exit row on 6/14/14. She never gets booked in the emergency exit row, so the synchronicity began to freak her out, especially since she felt concerned about traveling on the 14th. I had reminded her that we live in frequency specific times, though, and she calmed herself by tuning into her guides and angels to bring a sense of calm. In the end, she found that nothing “bad” happened despite her increased awareness that something could. For people unsure if they have courage to take their next longed-for step, the Cosmic “Are you sure?!” combines with such non-emergencies as a way of reminding them that support exists, provided they decide to seek and accept that support.

On the world stage, 6/14/14 marked an uptick of NWO shenanigans in the Middle East. Since history tends to repeat itself, the globalist puppeteers very likely are fomenting both sides of the conflict in an effort to destabilize the region and start World War 3. June 14th is Flag Day, and it appears that this year, it was False Flag Day. Various people have noted the ISIS acronym for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria as a hallmark of “Illuminati goddess worship.” If this is so, then I find it crucial to note that certain groups have perverted and inverted understandings of the Goddess — taking a life-giving mother figure and turning her into a blood-thirsty, sacrifice-demanding, hungry beast. The impotent patriarchy running roughshod over our planet has stoked such fear of the Divine Feminine that we must guard against throwing out the baby with the bath water.

If the general population recognized our planet as a sacred mother goddess and allowed the softness and strength of the Divine Feminine to guide our ways, we would experience such harmony on this planet that the sickos in charge could no longer maintain their illusion of power through weapons, force and intimidation. That is the real reason the controllers revel when alternative media unmasks and dissects their “goddess worship.” The dissections fragment something organic and whole, creating such fear and revulsion that no one in their right mind would look towards the very thing that could return balance to this insane world.

In Runic language, the IS Rune is a vertical line representing the Mother Goddess, as well as a “possible need for sacrifice”; however, IS also connotes “ice” and the act of freezing a current state. Runes precede the religions on this planet, and they speak directly to our subconscious mind. Often used for divination, Runes are actually cosmic building blocks of creation. “ISIS” sends a direct message to the subconscious mind to stop — or at least delay — its process of awakening and liberation. At a metalinguistic level, ISIS represents a last ditch attempt to freeze our warming hearts back into paralyzing fear.

It won’t work. As alternative media demonstrates obvious photoshopped images, even mainstream media has begun to question the legitimacy of photos showing mass murders and destruction. Each failed attempt to begin WW3 brings the end game into clearer relief. Pun intended. Complete psychopathic control of the world requires secrecy and manipulation. Enough failed false flags reveal the agenda in neon lights, and at that point, the Cosmic “Are you sure?!” kicks in. Hell to the no, we don’t want World War 3! We want peace, joy, harmony, prosperity, abundance, liberty, and love. Ari Berk notes in Brian Froud’s “The Runes of Elfland,” that — tipped on its side — IS becomes a bridge. In Odin’s Magical Rune Poem, the stanza associated with IS says:

A ninth one is mine:
If danger is out in the sea
To protect my good ship
I conjure the wind on the billowing floods
And I sing into slumber the sea.

With conscious attention to symbols, we can reclaim these powerful triggers and use them for positive creation instead of the entropy, sleep, and destruction tapped into and intended by would-be controllers. We can choose to absorb the Higher Self Awakening potential of IS-IS — doubling our intention to connect Heaven and Earth and bring through Divine Will, radiating positive cosmic forces into our material realm.

Blessed Be … and be the blessing!
