Stream Cycle Two
”Deep Sleeper”
The Second Stream Cycle is the Deep Sleeper. In physical reality, Deep Sleepers need to be gently shaken a little or have a sudden loud sound to startle them awake. Some have to have a constant loud sound that pushes them back into physical awakeness. Lightly touching deep sleepers does not awaken them from their sleep. But you cannot always do this “shake awake” to them. Sometimes the ONLY thing you can do is to stay in your Consciousness and be there for them when they decide to wake, if you choose. This is versus the self-coma individual. Remember they are completely attached to at least one precept that keeps them under, no matter what one does they will not wake up UNLESS THEY CHOOSE FREELY.
What keeps them asleep? What are they not addressing in Life, Self, Shadow, or any other thing that seems to be screaming in their life? is it a difficult or scary trauma/Trauma that they do not know how to handle?
Remember, no amount of “tough love”, discipline, addiction counseling, loss of life, destruction, stagnation, NOTHING except our Divine Will itself, will wake up a Being who swims in Stream One. They perceive a “need” for their attachments regardless of what those attachments are. Food. Drugs. Cars. Other people. etcetera. Stream One humans may need that rest. However, unlike those in Stream One, in Stream Two it is like the remarkable Sacred Bear. For all Bear Medicine and Magick, hibernation is seen as necessary for our health. Yona, or Bear, sleeps yet can wake up if they have a reason to wake up before Time asks them to. This ability is true for the Second Stream too.
Did you have a reason to wake up? Do you? Yes, you do, and most of you have.
DEEP SLEEP ACTION
As for deep sleepers, action is important for evolutionary and transformative change. Even so, hibernation in its many forms is used to realize regeneration. Regeneration can be of Spirit or Matter. In Matter for example, you can be secure in one type of work, rather than Experiencing many jobs. A Key to this form of hibernation is doing what brings you Joy. Many Spirits will negotiate to manifest and obtain security in a form of abundance so that they may safely Experience other aspects of that chosen manifestation. In Spirit, one may use hibernation to suppress dreams while going through other Experiences. It does not mean they cannot have any, in fact, they can. Many who have suffered trauma/Trauma, good - bad - indifferent, will suppress their dreams to hibernation. They may choose to do this consciously, with ingesting something to assist in that achievement. Practitioners swimming in Stream Two of a different Monad may choose to psycically suppress dreams through their Higher Self until a safer point to begin Experiencing them again. They understand the importance in the role of communication that dreams play between Self and Higher Self.
Remember, we are all already Whole Beings, Spirit and Matter. We have been stifled by the suppression of this Knowledge.
Involution can begin here as well when walking consciously of your Soul Journey across Time, this one and the next. Let us look at butterfly. Butterfly is an excellent example of hibernation before regeneration. Or, frog is a good example as well, coming in as a tadpole. All entering this world one way, then through metamorphism, fully stepping into the Being you are. The powers granted by embracing these complete transitions are all a part of Self completion and are directly tied to your energy, Medicine and Magick. That Change brings you to something different in manifestation of your Matter ONLY, your Spirit will always feel like “you”. (This is where strong Ego work comes in.)
All deep sleepers need is a little push through an Aha! moment. A “Now what do I do with this Knowledge, wake-up and fully engage or ignore this Knowledge only to once again fall into deep sleep?” This is the question that is presented to every living thing. “What do I do with what I Know?” Another excellent question that can stir the deep sleeper is, “What do I Know?” Sounds simple enough, at times it is, then at times it is not a simple question. This “dilemma” of Self is the primary reason Practitioners know they are missing something, try to seek it out, but when they see there is True Work to be done on Self, they go back to sleep. It takes humans several tries sometimes OF SINCERELY STARTING SOMETHING to succeed. “Work smarter, not harder”. “Plan your work, work you plan.” This Second Stream is where you begin to hear phrases like this come from those who are on the cusp or just waking up.
MEDITATION
As stated in other Lessons, meditation is not the “only” way to achieve gnosis. You may sit in Stillness. Utilize ecstatic practices or drums as well. How ever you achieve your gnostic state that FEELS CORRECT - IS CORRECT = FOR YOU. Many Practitioners say that the more work on Self you do, the easier the practice of meditation becomes. Meditation, use of one’s Witch’s Eye, Third Eye, Imagination, is crucial to access when pursuing other practices of Spirit such as the Clair’s, Astral Travel, Remote Viewing, etc. Being able to bring yourself into those brainwaves enhances your Vision. Not every Practitioner will achieve this. Most Practitioners require LIFETIMES to achieve a full manifestation of Spirit in Matter in balance to Experience.
We KNOW, scientifically, that mediation can shift our awareness. (So may Lucid Dreaming but not everyone can accomplish this easily, especially at this level.) Deep sleepers are not aware of others or they do not fully understand events happening around them. Stream Two swimmers have the tendency to make harsh judgements without researching all sides of a story. Anger comes to them easily, sometimes too easily.
Or, in-coming information always needs to be interpreted for them, or at least in part, heavily rely on others to interpret their own reasoning or Experiences. They tend to play off of others, still doubting ones own Intuition, or “gut feeling”. There is nothing wrong with sharing interpretations, yet allowing another to override our own interpretations is a sedative and even isolating. It point blank sedates our Intuition. We ALL have Free Will. We each can interpret Knowledge and Experiences so that we can make our own decisions, applying our own Knowledge, ushering in spiritual and practical changes through solution oriented activities such as setting and achieving personal goals.
When it is recognized that everyone adds; when it is recognized everything adds, will be the time for humanities’ cosmic leap.
Do not be mistaken by this statement. This may take thousands of years. We have yet to understand our Plant and Animal Allies thoroughly. Deep sleepers think they are alone. They do not see the Magick or Medicine that may be around them every day. They perceive the feeling of “alone” as tangible, even in a crowded room. They think “thinking” will move them outside of their sleeping state, yet incessant base low vibrational thinking pulls them deeper into their deep sleep. Some suggest these are those practitioners that “fall asleep” easily meditating. They may not actually
be in the Stream they are attempting to swim. Or, they may have some unresolved Shadow that is disallowing them to tap directly into that part of Self. A way to test this is to try different ecstatic practices and determine if they work more beneficially in achieving gnosis for Magick and Medicine. It is also good to question Self. You know you best. Is there something you refuse to deal with? It may be a bridge to cross or one may stagnate if they cannot find a way across that Shadow.
Thinking with the base thinker is good for some things and also not always the most beneficial for waking up too early. Meaningful communications and helpful actions with the living, with our Ancestors that touch others in Spirit, is helping everyone to wake up. It is a goal for many spiritual Beings to do so. As stated, we scientifically know dropping into the higher vibrational, higher self-mode can be relatively easy when spiritually Awake and working on Self.. This gives ample room for the other planes and worlds to reveal themselves to the Practitioner. An openness begins to grow inside of your life across dimensions, and some can feel it. Self-respect appears more so, and when you respect your Self, respecting others comes easy, thus births gratefulness for those whom you know. Like attracts like.
There are all manner of ways to open your world of Experience. With practice, many types of meditation, or dreams, are able to easily help us enter into a lighter non-physical and less attached to physical precepts state of mind. Releasing us from our manifestation into Matter, the “physical” and all that it is attached to allow us to flow into our Spirit, our Sovereignty.. It is that Savereignty that keeps us hidden from our own power if we are not in our highest vibration. Remember, sound is vibration of Air. Vibration of other energy is heat, Fire. We are the culmination of their harmonic vibration, hence, we seek to balance our Whole Being, our Oneness.
To further non-beneficial energy, some deep sleepers allow themselves to be pushed around by others instead of waking-up to their own Experience and CHOOSING how to Experience what they do. For example, see yourself sleeping on a bed with wheels. You then see a kind person moving you to another room in your home on that rolling bed, all the while, you remain asleep. You noticed they didn’t ask for your permission to move you to another location, but this person thought you were sleeping —as you did not react — and they thought that you would not mind if they moved you.
This could have been to move you to “where they were going”, “out of the way”, “out of sight”, or simply what they thought would serve you better. Did it?
Some deep sleepers are deep asleep by choice, whether Consciously choosing to not take part, or by what they ingest in the various forms of “numbing agents” in Matter. Everything in Matter from television to cannabis can numb a person back into a deep sleep or into a “less” interactive participant in their own lives. Some deep sleepers need to stay on guard for those that will take their Free-Will, or choose for them whether they are choosing to deep sleep or not. Unless you are truly indifferent about the decision being made, then that’s another matter to explore. Are you resting? Is there unresolved Shadow or Ego? The difference can be seen by those who state things like, “things just happen to me.” Many are blind-sided by Experience and do not stay Conscious of the choices they make. When so much of this occurs in their Experience it convinces their Spirit to sometimes “just accept it”. We look at colonization here. The Spirit “just accepting” the cycle of the mindset is then perpetuated. We are wise to always “why” “just accept”. Is there anything that can change it? Are we willing to do our part to work and change our circumstance?
3CMM encourages you to take back control of your Experience if you have lost it..
We ask you to go where you are called, not where you are taken to by another’s Experience. Place your wheeled bed where you desire if to be, especially if where it has ended up is NOT the Stream Cycle you are actually in. You are much too important to remain sleeping, unless you are recuperating from a previous difficult Experience, such as past trauma, or are gathering energies to prepare for one of your present Experiences or traumas. Every Stream Cycle can all be present for this Experience, and YOU can negotiate across all of them.
A word of caution to you once you are able to do this. Think of the WORST aspect, or the most difficult aspect of Self that you currently know. Now, IMAGINE another Being manifested with those traits. That Being is you, another Dimension, another Time, but you are gathering the Keys to benefit this WHOLE manifestation of Divine Energy, Spirit, into Matter. We work not only for our Whole Being that has manifested into THIS MATTER, but we work for ALL BEINGS OF SELF that have manifested into every Matter. Large concept, yes, but that is a spiritual goal to become one with Self, ALL Selves. But it is believed that evolution, in Time, then turns into the goal of integrating into One Consciousness. (That is, if you have gone as far away from One Consciousness as a human Consciousness can go. I suspect that because you are here at 3CMM, you are most likely “on your way up the Tree” versus down, relatively speaking. But that depends on YOU. ~ Reverend Richoz)
Keep also in mind, individuals are able to wake up if shaken by seeing a Truth —or Trauma, regarding their reality. Said another way, these individuals are able to wake up if shaken by Experiencing a Truth regarding reality or by securing enough rest that they become restless and know instinctively to smoothly move to the next state of Consciousness. The movement is almost out of a seeming boredom sometimes in that the individual says, “I am tired of going through the same Experiences, the same lessons, the same easy opportunities, the same personalities that cause troubles within our life.” etc These individuals are ready to approach solutions in a different, more beneficial manner while allowing others to live the way they choose in their manifestation. Changing cautiously while not overly influencing those around them.
We own no one’s Experience, not even a child’s. We are important custodians of those particular manifestations. When we choose to bring them into our lives, we are accepting what is required beneficially to evolve that Being as its Caregiver for a bit. If we are not “correct” for ourselves, we cannot be “correct” for another, not fully.
This is your story that you are creating, this is your life, YOUR EXPERIENCE.
“THE DISAPPEARING ACT”
Finally, there are some deep sleepers that show up excited and prepared to add in some way to the human Experience. But, they are not awake. They are ‘dreaming’ in a way that they are doing these things. This is evidenced by the “disappearing act”. This individual has a cycle of this trait. They give little or no apparent reasons when they disappear. Often times, they are not tethered in any way to the Experiences they are a part of, so they drift from one to another. They are themselves NOT invested, whether the other is or not. Then when you least expect it they return and perform in the most excellent ways, only to disappear yet again. Sound like someone you know? Do you know someone like this personally?
Deep Sleep Benefits
The ability to move between Streams and Monads is something we candevelop as we evolve Self in Spirit. One of the benefits of deep sleep is deep meditation where learning can occur in Clairs, Akashic Memory, Astral, etc. That is perceived currently as Magick. or Medicine, or in healing, The Crystal Meditation Wheel with Cabot-Kent is a healing center that practices with those who may be transitioning between Streams.
A deep sleeper is just as kind, intelligent and insightful as any other Soul Manifestation, or can be just as nasty as the next sociopath. Remember, it is a specturm. This Soul may be possibly working on a cure for something, but they are just sleeping in some manifestations. To help them wake up —- if that is Intuitively felt, place physical visuals all around as gentle reminders. An example, you KNOW an individual who is excellent at horticulture. They have a super green thumb. The can identify many of our Plant Allies. They are even adept at foraging in the wild, etc. Yet, they are stuck. They are in an abusive relationship, for example. Gifting them with foraging books, offering walks in the woods, and other things along that line can increase their ability to wake up and take more active control of their Experience. Usually deep sleepers have no meaningful dialog regarding the other planes of existence, though they are very spiritual folks. They are just sleeping. “To nurture” is Key here. The difference between the self-coma individual and the deep sleeper is that the deep sleeper is capable of waking up. When they first awake it may be for a few seconds at a time. Be patient. As time passes and they continue to work on Self, they find themselves staying awake for longer and then falling back to sleep. While awake, it is all quite wonderful for their community and the world at large.
We are all sleeping in one way or another throughout many of our Experiences.
We all forget.
We all stumble.
To recap, it is important to see we are becoming more aware of our creative process, exponentially causing us to see our spiritual growth, greatly guiding us through Karmic disentanglements and developing us within our Monad and Stream Cycle … through Time, beyond our individual Soul.
Go easy on Self. Go easy on Other… especially if YOU need it to return to you. ♥
Divination 103
Second Stream Cycle
Knights - ”Deep Sleeper”
There are many ways to read the Tarot, but currently most Practitioners only utilize this timeless book a divinatory tool. However, when reading Tarot there is a myriad of other ways to interpret each card inside of each spread. Knowing this story opens the esoteric language to be revealed to the Reader when attenuating it. Not simply divination, this language adds another layer to one’s divination practice that many do not know. This Knowledge can be read to help process Experiences throughout life.
Knight of Swords
The first card of the Second Stream Cycle is a court card —the Knight of Swords.
This knight is a prototype of a hero. This plays into the Deep Sleeper and their ability to show up “full force” — do something, and go back to sleep. Be a hero? Be a mover or shaker? This can even be a reaction to the trauma/Trauma that permanently wakes them. As most of us have learned though, most heroes do not come to us riding on a white horse to save the day. Most wars are not won nor peace lasting through continued violence. Disagreements are completely won through consistently right diplomacy and giving grace to the so-called enemy. Though this card does mean there is possible opposition heading your way, just by you knowing it is coming you can make plans to diminish the trouble or even dissolve it completely before it arrives on your door step; deflating all anger and all drama out of an issue.
Notice the knight’s tabard that is worn on this card. There are blue birds on the red vestment. There are wings on the leg amour and this knight is also wearing a large red feather on a winged helmet. (Remember what the “red feather” means in the esoteric Knowledge of Magick that we shared in Wahya Circle? Protection.) Looking at the horse’s symbology, it reflects the energy moving through a situation or person. It is white and recall, “white” reflects ALL colors… therefore, it reflects ALL energy.) Notice the horse leaping through the air into the wind, not with the wind. This again speaks to the individual being in deep sleep and not gathering all facts before leaping, or leaping regardless. Some decks have this horse flying over a body of water. The white horse is wearing red birds and butterflies as well as black bats as well. Now, look at the top right corner where we can see four black birds flying above --among the clouds. This card is displaying “Wings of Protection” in seven ways, as it relates to one of the seven Stream Cycles.
This card is obviously elaborating the symbols feather and wind which stand out in the picture plate. Even the trees in the background seem to have their leaves catching the wind as well as the clouds seem to be moving with strong breezes. This is the time to address an issue, by taking heed not from the blustering knight that raises his sword high, but the by listening to the language of the winged Animal Allies, our Plant Allies and Elements that surround us.
Do you see them?
The only knight in the RWS to be holding a weapon, a sword, representative of Thought, reminds us that foolish violence or “rushing in” is not needed, unless someone is using physical violence against another, or us personally. This deep sleeper runs in like a bull in a china shop if they do not pause for Thought (sword). Acts, then asks forgiveness later or makes uninformed opinions about a situation, person or group without EVER finding out all the facts first. This can be good or bad, beneficial or non-beneficial. Often times, a deep sleeper without Thought runs in on a situation without researching what is really going on, causing harm to all of those around, including Self. We all know opinions are not always based in facts. Vague statements are not facts as well.
Sound familiar?
If we are helping a Deep Sleeper, encourage this person to be still and work on their own Shadows. This action will cause then to feel satisfied and unhurt once more if they do this work. This is growth towards “waking up” on a more permanent basis. Even though this individual will act quickly to help others without collecting all the facts, which at times can cause loss, the action is still worth it to them —- awake or asleep. It is a difficult task to warn a Deep Sleeper from helping another, even to their detriment. We are wise to consider this may be that “jolt” that wakes them for good, or it is a Lesson that they are here to Experience on their Life Journey.
Suggestion, return to the winds and all which ride upon the winds, Yona. Native Americans listen and pay attention to the whispers of wisdom through the Spirit Winds. Element Air. A wind never dies it just moves on to another place that needs its attention. This card may represent impulsiveness or bluntly sharing what their truth is, in an in-artful manner. His sword strike is sudden and accurate. Be careful of individuals that tell you what to do instead of having a good two-way conversation asking questions and opinions. This card is passionate about the quest and has much to give humankind.
Knight of Pentacles
This knight of pentacles is not riding their horse anywhere, they are sitting mostly stationary on a slow stout black horse decorated as if a show horse. Hence, this deep sleeper “looks busy”… but in reality they are not going anywhere to their benefit —for now. They may be taking a break, or they may be stagnating. Or, they could working for the benefit of another rather than Self. Recall, it is important how much Time we give of Self to Another. We are wise to way the benefits, risks versus rewards.
Looking at the knight, we see they are again wearing protective amour with no weapons this time. It is as if participating in a victory parade. Maybe for Self, but most likely for another. Both horse and knight wear a green feather bloom on their heads. Green being symbolic of new growth, rebirth, renewal, new aspects of Self ahead. Like all of the other knights, they too are completely asleep and appear to be alone in a desolate place, representing Stream Cycle Two, consider a Time of respite or Healing that one may wake from as things are “good” or “beneficial”. However, they do not, or cannot, see the others around them beyond a superficial capacity in most cases. These deep sleepers typically say things like, “I feel alone in a crowded room.” The Knight of Pentacles wears a read tabard girded with a belt of red, with a gloved hand, and holding aloft a large pentacle, seemingly not impressed with it or what it represents as they are looking past it, starring into the far horizon.
Do they sense they are “waking”? Do they know they are sleeping?
Sitting on this beautiful heavy black horse under a sun lit sky, still. It is felt that they identify with no particular work at this point of Time in their life, but have absorbed it all as symbolized by a black horse.. Black being the color that absorbs all colors of light. In the fashion of old, a knight’s work symbols would be on his garments or armor they wear. Nothing is shown here. They may have just “woke up”. Just as waking up from nightly slumber, some wake up “in a haze”. The same is true for those who have just spiritually awakened. For some though, it is also understood that they do not wish to display what they are working on in their life out of humbleness or privacy, just out of the broom closet so to speak. Or, leaving an abusive relationship that may have gone on for longer than hoped. It is also understood that many times, much more can be accomplished in privacy.
This knight is seemingly unhappy just studying the physiognomy of their face. In usual circumstances, an individual that is frowning with their mouth turned downward is a pretty good indication that something is not right. “see above Though a responsible person has a main emphasis is the physical plane. Not interested in anything but this physical world and the recovery, or awakening of Self. they nurture Self with physical things and thinks that is all there is when not fully recovered. But remember — they do not yet see the entire picture because they have often just been deep sleeping.
Knight of Wands
In all the horse cards, it is the horse that in fact reveals the knight’s character. This knight holds the Ace of Wands (Clubs) representing Element Fire, which burns anything unnecessary from our belief system. (Wands are good cards to use in most Spellcraft.) Here again, wearing the seal of protected life, the red feather found in many of the cards within the Tarot. The actions of this deep sleeper may be paving the way for them to awaken.
As seen, all of these cards present the horse in four different manners or approaches. This horse is colored brown versus the original RWS deck, which has no color. It is up to you to interpret color or not.
There are five living Beings, both Plant and Animal Allies, on this card. They are the land, horse, sky, plants, and human. There are also three in symbol, the bird, plant again and lizard. The Lizard reminds us that something was “cut off” from our life, but it will grow once again. This is evidenced by a Spring Lizard’s tail being cut off, it has the capacity to grow itself back. When in this stage, we can align with our spiritual body, which remains whole, despite our physical body being ailed, for example. We are deep sleeping. We are in respite. We are not our disease. We have a dis-ease to Experience, but our Spirits are beyond that dis-ease, or trauma/Trauma.
You can also see in this card that humans previously erected three pyramids in the background. It is presumed that they are passing the pyramids. We ask, “are they oblivious of their spiritual treasures, or are they awake to it?” Looking further at these characteristics of the Stream, we notice that they tend to over think things yet bring incredible ideas to the fore-front with no way or means to complete the project. Plus, deep sleepers do not often recognize thta they pass helpful guides each day in many ways. Though the deep sleepers words are transformative, it is their action or inaction that is focused on everything but the task at hand. This card depicts the Knight slowly walking as if he enjoys and relishes the path as he slowly moves to his destination, exploring new avenues or adventures. They are usually confident and deliberate with their actions when they choose to awaken and make them. With Thought, they rush into nothing too quickly. Of note, simply because “wands represent masculine energy” does not mean necessarily the same within the Stream Cycle and Monads. It can represent the spectrum of energies, not just “only” masculine or feminine.
Knight of Cups
This knight is riding quietly in the metal feathered helmet representing their graceful imagination, somewhat protected from intruding Thoughts and more capable of discerning their own reality. Everything within this card depicts a firm gracefulness. He is the only knight within the knights’ suites which wears metal feathers, the rest wear real feathers. There is a Timelessness perception to this. They also wear metal wings on their armored shoes depicting flight, or “fleet of foot”. They dressed on a stunning white horse with water designs as they both seem to be addressing the gentle stream before them. (Cups=Water) This knight dresses themselves also with water designs along with many red fish on their garment. As stated, all of these are very fitting for a “cup” card, representative of spectrum of feminine energies and emotion.
The white horse is formally galloping elegantly toward the narrow stream. This can be indicative of an impending Awakening from the Second Stream Cycle, or Awareness, or even Consciousness of a situation. Their pproach is beautifully subtle. The rider is a dreamer as their Consciousness may continue to sleep deeply by the Stream of Consciousness, or it may soon awaken.
Nothing covers either of their hands denoting they hide nothing from those they trust and there may be more Awareness that is acknowledged. They are willing to work with anyone, and their kindness is poured upon everyone equally. Their only focus is in what is in their hand, ignoring everything else. Whatever this is, is needed for their benefit. This single mindedness can be both a blessing and a hindrance. We are wise not to impeded, nor stand by watching. Be helpful if this Deep Sleeper matters to you.
After all, it is not uncommon for this individual to nurture peace in others. They are action oriented, an activator. This card’s energy helps find the ultimate potential in every person and every situation, trying to find more efficient ways to accomplish a process or project. This card is about expansion into emotion. An individual of high integrity brings expansion.
Knight of Cups is the pinnacle of knowing where you are or where you want to go.
Of note: for some decks this knight wears no helmet.
Symbology of the Cards
HORSES
As you have seen horse energy plays a large part within the Second Stream cycle, so let us focus on this energy for a few minutes. We all know there have been Animal Allies that have chosen to support and live closely with humankind. Also called a Spirit Animal, or Power Animal, the Horse is one such animal which has exceedingly added to humankind. (The “name” also can indicate its purpose. You are not tied to any vernacular, do what calls to you.)
Remember the myth that says, “Poseidon was creator of horses out of the ocean’s breaking waves”. Or Greek Mythos, where the winged white horse Pegasus is the son of Poseidon (Neptune) and the Gorgon Medusa. In Celtic lore, Horse belongs to the Sun God, assigned to Goddess Epona. The Goddess of horses, Epona is also associated with dogs and birds, both animals that work closely and communicates with humans as well.
Animal Ally Horses’ devotion is second to no other animal. They have patiently worked humankind for thousands of years. Giving up their lives in human’s wars, worked in the fields plowing the ground with their brute strength so that humankind may not perish from starvation. Horses allowed their backs to be ridden for commuting, vastly increasing human’s mobility. These gentle giants were the economic backbone for transporting goods from one location to the next, their speed and beauty delivers enjoyment and sports. After they die many of their body parts are utilized in some countries. The next time you are working with a WRS Deck pull all the horse cards and see the wisdom horse proclaims for humankind. Horse chose to work with humans. It is horse that gives wise dreams, continuity of life. Remember, is Buddhist mythos, Buddha left this physical plane riding a white horse as he ascended into his Light Body. We now leave our deep sleep on a horse if you prefer, for safety. They are protectors.
HORSE GENEROSITY
White Horse Generously Gives: Drink in these meanings for horse: Devotion / Life-Force / Symbol for our body / Fertility / Freedom / Sun / Light/ Water / Messenger of birth / Grace / Nobility / Strength / Reliable / Beauty / Intuitive / Stability / Victory / Illumination / Resurrection. Many cultures assign all the Elements to the horse.

Second Monad - Correspondences
The further into the Streams and Monads we go, the more connection we begin to see. We will leave correspondences throughout what is written for these Lessons, so it is HIGHLY advised to take notes. These correspondences are most often what Second Monad has tied to Matter, until the point at which that tie crosses back towards Spirit. This typically occurs at their exit from the Stream. But, let us also remember that the Animal Allies are here to help keep us safe, guide us, accompany us, as this Journey is for ALL OF US. This includes Plant Allies.
We are the “chosen animal” to carry this “Awareness” this time around. Some feel that our feline companions were the most recent previous Experience of Knowledge as they help us quite a bit in this Experience. This is NOT to be construed as a “human superiority complex” or “speciesism”. Along with many Practitioners, some indigenous believe other animals have gone before us as well. It is believed that we are to ALL have this Divine Experience over Time. As stated, many believe it was “cat” who previously Experienced Awareness. That is why they accompany us now during Magick and Medicine and why they act as they do in heavy Spirit situations. They are VERY awake and enlightened creatures. For some Native Americans, general cat symbolism is about the mysterious and esoteric, independence, and it is considered the Guardian of Energy.
Key Phrase: Our key phrase from the Vangelo delle Streghe Creation story for the Second Monad is “Over the course of time, Primeval Deity began to stir; to become aware.” This quote by Wayne Dyer aligns nicely with this Monad, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.”

Stream Two Myth
Diana, Queen of the Serpents, Giver of the Gift of Languages
This myth highlights the possibility that all things have language and desires to communicate to the human deep sleeper. It is the sleeper that the insight to all languages is given. All things have a language.
The Diana, Queen of the Serpents, Giver of the Gift of Languages is Found in Charles Godfrey Leland’s book Aradia or Gospel of the Witches: “In a long and strange legend of Melambo, a magician and great physician of divine birth, there is an Invocation to Diana which has a proper place in this work. The incident in which it occurs is as follows:--
One day Melambo asked his mother how it was, that while it had been promised that he should know the language of all living things, it had not yet come to pass. And his mother replied:--
"Patience, my son, for it is by waiting and watching ourselves that we learn how to be taught. And thou hast within thee the teachers who can impart the most, if thou wilt seek to hear them, yes, the professors who can teach thee more in a few minutes than others learn in a life."
It befell that one evening Melambo, thinking on this while playing with a nest of young serpents which his servant had found in a hollow oak, said:
"I desire that I could talk with you. Well, I know that ye have language, as graceful as your movement, as brilliant as your color." Then he fell asleep, and the young serpents twined in his hair and began to lick his lips and eyes, while their mother sang:-
As a general rule, your Teachers do not “have to” reside on this plane. There is much you will learn as we continue.
The Invocation of the Serpents' Mother to Diana
“Diana! Diana! Diana!
Queen of all enchantresses
And of the dark night,
And of all nature,
Of the stars and of the moon,
And of all fate or fortune!
Thou who rulest the tide,
Who shinest by night on the sea,
Casting light upon the waters;
Thou who art mistress of the ocean
In thy boat made like a crescent,
Crescent moon-bark brightly gleaming,
Ever smiling high in heaven,
Sailing too on earth, reflected
In the ocean, on its water;
We implore thee give this sleeper,
Give unto this good Melambo
The great gift of understanding
What all creatures say while talking!”
