Ritual Law
THE BIG IDEA
According to the Torah Omens this week is a good time to connect with the overwhelming vulnerability of our human experience, namely, the mystery of death.
The energy opens with the Ritual Law of the Red heifer, the spiritual purification process from contact with a corpse, and moves directly into the loss of Miriam and the greatest loss for the Israelite body, Moses and Aaron’s fate to die outside the promised land.
This week’s new moon brings with it the echoes of sadness, revealed karmic consequences, and great alchemical healing — this is a highly favorable time to look your darkest snaking thoughts, and see them for the snake energies they are (outside of your self).
Make space for any feelings of sadness that come around the loss of a beloved, the loss of a dream, or, perhaps, the loss of human female rights and freedoms from our world.
Let’s together mourn the absence of the Miriams and Aarons amongst us, the water carriers and the peacemakers, the human lives that literally enrich our own. Protest for the return of water (life), and allow any needed tears to flow.
THE SNAKE IN THE FACE
It’s alchemical healing time!!!
The best week of the year to look your negative thoughts (even when your needs are being met). Take advantage of the Torah Omens homeopathic energy and let like heal like. By looking those inner complaints in the eye, and questioning their truth, you can actually make them go away. Our complaints are like fiery snakes that bite us and kill us — and the antidote is to look at them directly and bring them out into the light.
Take some time to find the snake energy and thought that is eating or feeding off of you. The thought that is so bad it makes you want to give up, on God, on everything, or God forbid life itself.
Where do you have anger, fear, extreme exhaustion and fatigue, disappointment and frustration in your life? How do you process those thoughts and remove that way of thinking from your system? Or do you continue day after day to be eaten alive by negative thinking?
Use this exercise to really look at those thoughts and question their objective truth.
LOOK YOUR SNAKE IN THE FACE EXERCISE
1) Take a piece of paper and draw a snake.
2) As you draw the snake, think you darkest thought.
—Perhaps it is a dark thought about yourself. Really go there.
—Perhaps it is a dark thought about society that scares you. For example: what it means for a government to be able to revoke a women’s rights to determine her reproductive journey in this life.
3) Write that thought inside the snake or around it.
4) Take your paper and hold it up to the sky and really look at the snake. See that thought, whatever it might be, outside yourself. Not you. Simply the snake that is killing you. Question its truth.
5) (optional) Burn the snake and paper or bury it in the earth.
By looking at the image of the snake that bit them, the people were healed. Almost every dark thought we have is a dark thought that has somehow gotten inside us. On this a week of alchemical healing and homeopathy - let your darkest thought heal.
