Today, on the 1st of August 2020, in the Southern Hemisphere we celebrate the Celtic festival of Imbolc; marking the first day of Spring in its earliest cyclical iteration. The festival marks the beginning of our entry out of the dark, introspective winter and into the warmth and blossoming of Spring – personally, I have gone into the darkness quite deeply this winter, and without the support of Immortality & the Trinity, I would certainly still be in the underworld cocoon.
As human beings, we embody aspects that exist in different dimensions; and as a result we experience cyclical movements in alignment with the planetary body of Earth, which in turn move in motion around the sun in connection with the greater solar system. The Celtic cosmology, originating in Scotland, Ireland and Wales, has an incredibly robust view of these cycles.
When we turn our attention to these powerful celestial movements, we learn much about our planetary seasons – and thus the seasons of our bodies, minds and spirits.
Tapping into these powerful cycles of energy can ground us in incredible ways; restoring and renewing our visions for our lives, and the greater collective journey of humanity through the cycles of Space and Time in the physical dimension.
A big part of my journey has been the restoration of what was lost and appropriated by Monotheistic religious structures of my Celtic and Norse lines, and they say it often takes just one incarnated being to heal the ancestral wounds of their lineage. I suspect many, if not all, of us who are a part of the Immortality journey have taken up this banner in our respective families – and Imbolc returns us to the knowing that what we do for ourselves, we impart to those around us. It is a potent remembrance of our unity and connection with each other.
Druids were the philosophical priest class of the Celtic tribes. Their teachings centred around the intimate relationship between the Immortality of the soul, and the experience of incarnating into a physical form as a part of Nature on the planet. As with many magician classes of Pagan lineages, Immortality was perhaps the single most sought after goal; though difficult to achieve and attain.
The Arthurian legends centred around the Excalibur sword and quest for the Holy Grail are the best literary depictions of the Celtic lineages of the British Isle regions; the Holy Grail has been reputed to be many things, albeit all leading to the powerful experience of becoming Immortal. Wars were waged in the quest for something which is fundamentally our innate nature; and this is perhaps due to the convoluted interference by the patriarchal Holy Roman Church and its crusade against the Pagan teachings. Much was veiled in secrecy; but never truly lost. As we herald in the Golden Age, these teachings are restored in theory – but much more so in practice and experience.
When we understand that our souls are Immortal, as the Celts did, we begin to see the historical landscape of Earth and the wiping out of sacred teachings have left us largely lost; and this is what Immortality the Remedy is distilled to imbue within our bodies; a single drop of the essence required to return our bodies to this truth on a cellular level.
We have become accustomed to cycles of blooming and decaying; Life and Death across such short time spans, that we rarely gather a glimpse of what it truly means to be living in the physical dimension.
As we experience Immortality gently weaving itself into the body, we begin to be restored in parallel with Time; rather than at the mercy of it. Time is an incredibly useful tool for navigating a physical experience, but when it becomes the over-arching theme – thus reducing our experiences – it becomes a fearful element to consider. By restoring and rejuvenating our bodies with the essence of the Immortal jelly fish, we begin a new quest; one that is not centred around finding the Holy Grail, but about actually putting the attained Grail to use.
I have found a whole new dimension open up for my spiritual experience of living on Earth; without Time looming over me, I feel I can surrender to a whole new way of embodying and practicing the ancient wisdom of my ancestors.
In fact, I can begin to resurrect the teachings I resonate with, and slowly update them to be in tune with our current Age; relevance and reverence both being key to the process.
So as you ponder your cyclical nature, your lineage and the gift of Immortality; what might open up for you? I imagine only wonder as we voyage onwards and upwards – Forever!
