Civaux, the waters taken on the northwest bank of the river Vienne just at the entrance to the village. Civaux is an ancient Celtic/pagan shrine and pilgrimage site (Rue de La Biche) and just north of the ancient Roman town of Lussac Les Chateaux which is surrounded my Mesolithic, Neolithic, Magdelenien and Neanderthal cave, ritual, and living sites. These have been overlaid by ancient shrines to Celtic goddesses, Roman goddesses, and then to Christ. The site at Civaux was just this, a celtic, then Roman and then a Christian religious site. The Church at Civaux contains one of the few representations of the Melusine herself. In the 1980s the site was selected as the site for a large nuclear reactor/power plant, as a quiet waterside village (the river water is used to help cool the twin towers), and to everyone’s astonishment, a huge cemetery, built-in Merovingian times: the third and 4^th centuries AD was, uncovered. Over 4 km long and with in excess of 4,000 stone sarcophagi. A staggering site. As an addition to the nuclear power station, a crocodile farm and aquatic center with 50-meter diving pool was additionally built also utilising the abundance of hot water from the towers. It is indeed an awesome site.

This essence is all by thought consciousness, Understanding. The identity is universal.

It’s demon would be attachment and in its development, it would be about the assimilation of knowledge and the development of wisdom. Its purpose is understanding, consciousness, awareness, belief systems, and transcendence. The ability to perceive and be aware to be open minded and question, a greater sense of spirituality and broader understanding. In its trauma, it would manifest as blind obedience, misinformation, education that towards curiosity. This essence allows one to reestablish the physical and emotional connection with spirit to examine one belief to examine, to examine one’s beliefs and to develop an inner witness.

I am I am whole, complete and total unto myself, everything and everyone is part of myself. It is all perfect. The body is totally at rest. And still, the energy is quiet and calm. The mind is clear and empty here totally aware. Life is it is an all as well.

There is a stillness to the winter solstice, a deep exhale that allows one to contemplate the silence. This essence is about listening, silence and everything that an exhale allows; a letting go, particularly of judgment and control. This essence is very helpful when holding space for other people or the landscape without trying to have any influence over the outcome. When we hold space for others, we can open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgment and control. This essence is for those who prefer protected safe places that you can control wherever possible. This means that you generally don’t like people coming over uninvited and that you have firm internal rules about what is a safe place, and what isn’t. Your idea of safety can be quite stringent compared to that of others and is often anchored more to protected places, than to certain people. In addition, you will regularly seek out seclusion in order to find nourishment, wisdom or energy. Conditions are optimum when your safe place is also a space where you are guaranteed seclusion. The essence which is best worn around your neck when needed for long periods, allows for this feeling of safe space to be with you in the more trying times.

Water as mediators between Earth and Cosmos. On the morning of March 20, 2015, a near-total solar eclipse was visible from Ireland. Over 90% of the Sun was be obscured as the Moon passes between it and the Earth. The eclipse started at 8:24am, reached maximum eclipse at 9:28am, and finished at 10:36am. Waters were collected from Glenade Lough through the reflection of the eclipse. This essence helps one to become more aware of their spiritual path. It helps to release pain that we are holding; there can be a fear in releasing known pain and a fear of the lightness of our being. Eclipses can give
 us the benefits a reevaluation of our life and awareness to see what we might need to let go. We may experience fear, worry, tendency to complain and whine, sensitivity and hyper reaction to “injustice”. We should be aware of our own emotions and those of the others and realize that the behaviour of others might not be what they really mean. The situations we encounter around the eclipse time tempt us to react negatively, create a conflict, or argue. The best position is to be a witness. An eclipse can be considered to be a door that breaks our bond with the past. We currently use our senses to interpret nature, and not in the way I feel nature had first evolved: to act as receivers, permitting us to stand back within the presence, the potentiality for the vibrational expression of matter and to feel and receive and relish the sounds, smells, sights, tastes and touch of all that is. Anticipating the presence of an observer to engage in a co-creative dance within a transitional sea of potentiality, a potentiality that forms the core of the Earth. Although we are tiny, we feel the Universe.
