LSD: Fall Autumn Equinox – Planting Corn

Letter of Spiritual Direction from the Altar of Earth and Air: Fall Equinox 2015

Dear Kin,

Offerings of Gratitude for you and All Relations this season of gathering fruition and planning inward steps.

Today marks the celebration day of the Fall or Autumn Equinox. It is both a time of harvest gathering and a time of planning.

A time of considerations of creations that will be nurtured and worked upon this quarter of the year.

In observing the celestial earth and heaven I offer to us some thoughts and insights that may support all life on this planet during these times of change.

Archangel Raphael and the Cherubim are our guides during this time this year and offer us the guidance of care and consideration in Creativity and Children.
This influence beckons each to consider childlike creativity.

With the influence of Venus and Virgo
Mother Earth has a lot to say about how we care for one another in kinship relationships, asking that we consider long term sustainability as a flourishing intention for generations of support. Handmade creativity is blessed in special ways at this time.

Libra's balance influence gives us reminders that circle must become concentric and this is accomplished in harmony and percussion by reaching outside of our small circles of family and friends. We are offered opportunities to see the needs of others and offer gratitude and hope within our small and great societies.

Leo's love of heart and strength ask us to be mindful in the ways in which we interact with each other. Keeping in mind the delicate dignity of each and every relationship and honoring each as a sacred gift of sharing. Leo helps us to remember that sharing is only sharing when the respect of the common bond is held in acceptance of:

As You Are; so I Am
As I Am: so You Are

Having not pity for the impoverished before having pity upon ourselves for our contribution of states of such disregard for life.
Leo asks us to comprehend Being a guardian and a sacred hoop for All Life and Relation in Equanimity (Love, Compassion and Joy).
Leo asks each to walk softly and quietly upon the Earth and to consider the foot print that each of us leaves.
Asking us to consider:
How does my relationship with Earth/earth reflect my own relations with my family, friends, society and culture.
How do I support the clan relationships with other societies and cultures?
How do I support the Well Being of shared responsibility for each other?

The Influence of Scorpio reminds us of the exactness of focused attention that is required in maintaining and sustaining of the inner light of compassion.
Kindness rules the gentle heart of light to light connections and reflective pedals of common choices and decisions.
Determination and Resolution of Scorpio ask us to be clear about intentions and hold energy for the next generation of life.
The influence of Sagittarius uses this energy as shared actions in manifestation of common loves. Kinships, friendship, families share happiness of loves compassionate joys with the concentric circles of our cultures and societies.

Today as we move one step at a time into our warm homes, caverns of sanctuary, cosmic heavens of inner earth, we bring with us that which we have sowed, reaped and gathered in Kindnesses of loves compassionate joy in equanimity. Today the length and strength of our inner journey begins with clan and kin in common circle. We enter into this sanctuary of auspicious time of dream and inner form creation considering: Creativity, Children, Societies of blending cultures, Flourishing Sustainability and Intentions in Actions. Blessed by the unison of hearts of thankfulness and genuine gratitude for Being in relation. Honoring the abundance of hope that lays with the deep recesses of our souls journey into void. Returning to us the fringe lights of creativity for the methods of kinships in adoration with one another.

As we take our first steps I offer this prayer this Quarter time of Cycle in Gratitude of Being

Just for today Great Spirit and Great Mystery, we offer thanks for your tender guidance into the heart of our home.
Grateful for your blessings as we walk hand in hand with trusting friends.

Just for today we thank you for letting us Be caring in our intentions as fulfilled actions.
Grateful for your blessings in our Arts and Languages that we may Be a Love of more Gentle and Cherishing Devotion and Adoration.

Just for today we thank you for sharing with us places where we may Be of Service.
Grateful for the joy found in the mundane, the slow and steady moments shared in happiness with kin.

Just for today we thank you for causing our hearts and minds and actions to go tender as we serve the innocence found in all life.
Grateful to Be kind and gentle guardians of source and resources that we may always remember how to walk tenderly with your Sacred Heart, Planet Earth and all
S/He embodies.

Just for today with thank you for our circles.
Grateful to merge in delight of greater awareness's the concentric circles of all that you are and we wish to Be in Noble Trust.

1. As Simplicity through Communion of Magic; May we Be a Breath of Peace.
2. As Kindness through Compassion in the Mystery; May we Be Comfort where rest is called upon.

JiMi

Dear Eastern Regional Group,
If you have planted on your own do not retrieve the seed. Keep it and grow it.
You will be provided with another seed who holds our sacred corn from Hopi.
This undying corn of a 4000 year lineage.

You will need to bring to your gathering
In ceremony of your individual light essence

1. Yourself
2. Dirt from your garden. If you are a NBH you will have placed in your growing pot or garden
   Dirt from previous ceremonies. Bring for mixing with others.
   BiJa this is your job, since I am not there.
   You will distribute to each person a small amount.
   Say filling a Dixie cup half way.
3. You will each have corn meal.

You will take your dirt
Place it in your cup
You will take your seed and place it in your mouth
Under your tongue for about a minute.
You will commingle the essence of your being in a prayerful manner
Holding your intention for the next 800 year cycle.
You will spit your seed directly into your cup and water it with the saliva from your mouth.
You will take a few grains of cornmeal which has been provided to you in your small pouch and sprinkle it into your cup. You will will wrap the seed in this mixture of dirt and corn meal as if it were the most precious
Which it is.
You will watch it
Care for it
And bring it into fruition through the winter.

The seed must be planted in group while the soil outside is still tender.

Linnea, Teresa, Charlene, Annie, Jane will be holding a circle of prayer for you.
I will be planting with you.
I will need to know the exact time you are planting.

The 24th is a better date as the other dates you have considered are
Death Dance dates.
October 30 - Nov. 1
