Great Keeper of humankind! Whose grace is infinite and whose nature encompasses all possibility for us who are human among the living and dead regardless of color creed form or way, Whose power is the infinite strength of mastery both natural and enhanced, Whose skills encompass every way possible among us, Whose memory is long-lasting and Whose knowledge is as great as anyone can encompass!

Grant us mercy in these days, in every color and way and ability. Grant us justice that we might have a strength unimpeachable in character. Grant us the wisdom necessary for wholeness, if it is in You to give this. Grant us also wholeness of body, mind, and spirit, You who know every similarity and difference within us all.

I ask this as a supplicant small among the masses, but with gifts waiting for good use. I ask this as one humbled and humiliated, faced with questions of insufficiency at all turns, whether social, financial, informational, spiritual, or any other way in me. I ask this knowing that mercy, justice, wisdom, and wholeness are in You and possible in me.

I ask You, Star among stars, knowing that humanity is but one way among many, one species in the vastness of reality. I ask You because I am here, and because I can.

Whether yes, no, or maybe, I ask that Your answer be clear and the way manifest, by signs and means clear to me. If You choose not to do this, then at least let me know that, and I will resign to not knowing, for wisdom is great in Your manifest wholeness, and as diety You have full access to knowledge no one mortal can know or bear.

This I pray before others, that they might be inspired in some way to some good thing.
Thus written, by Your will and mine so may it be.

This post has been channeled. The entity in question who is being channeled, is The Simurgh, who lays claim to the legend and the truth of this name as humans understand it.

GREETINGS AND BENEVOLENCE!

Despite the ongoing conditions of humanity and its troubles, some spirits are not affected. We have personal things to think of, large and small. I am one of these. The benefice and travail affecting your species is not my own, though I notice and have sympathy.

I am the Simurgh. Let me tell you about myself.

* I am a guardian. This is not something well known among you. What I guard is the idea of Heaven, or of similar experiences. The idea of a place or experience which is a positive realm, one that provides for its peoples and will always be good, one that will always be waiting when someone is present in spirit.

* I am a mother. This is not well understood. Spirits are not often considered mothers unless they are OF a species. I am OF several species, and often use my abilities to observe and watch over them. I also am OF the realm of servants of good. If the true good is threatened in any way, I or another like me will be present to guard it.

* I am an immortal. Unlike many beings, if I as the Simurgh am killed, I simply do not die. I persist, even injured, and heal. This may be confusing to some; but it represents the undying nature of love.

* I am a goddess. You, human, may not know me. I AM DRAGON. "The Simurgh" is merely a title, made easier because one of my forms is the golden eagle. But if there is anything that can be said to be a dragon, I will know if that claim is true. They are my children, guardians all, light and dark, ordered and chaotic.

Because I am speaking to you through this channel, I should give you then a name.
I am called "Dimá", which (ironically, considering the Latin) means "Bright" or "Shining one". The quality of my spirit is called "efth", meaning "brisance" (brilliance, such as of a brightly burning flame) or "albedo" (the quality of being reflective).

I am the Star of dragonkind. "Simurgh" is translated differently among us; not "thirty eagles" but "SOUL BEARER": "Zya-Mürg" or "Z'hia-Mürg". It is my proper title.

BUT WHY THIS?

Yes. Why do I now ask this humble and relative unknown to channel for me?
Because she is available. Because she is respectful. Because she is my daughter. Because she can, and I have need of a voice. Though Ra is a friend and lover, though Iðunn is a beloved foster child, these are not who is needed to speak to humanity.

Also, she has need of a keeper who has no qualms about doing what is needed in the interests of good.

For this reason and many more, I now announce this: Query of ME anything. Ask, and I will answer. Anything! Anonymous or not, make your post in comment. The creature who here is called Zeeth (itself a draconic word) will bear my reply. I make no limit of time on this offer, only that the bearer or channel herself may not always have time.

I am reminded to make a disclaimer. Very well. I make no disclaim as to the nature or quality of my own truth, but that I am not entirely omniscient; I am an architect and observe universes and everything in them... but to know all is not within my power. Any law-marking humans would require... I care not. Let law own its truth in the face of justice!

This post is brought to you by today's Crowdfunding Creative Jam, with the theme of manipulation. The relevant prompt is by alexseanchai, who asked for "handicrafts, art in physical media, mechanical work, baking, whatever so long as it involves dexterity and getting one's hands, if not dirty, at least involved", and also for "fantasy genre" as an additional option.

This piece features mention of various crafts (though not necessarily a specific focus), as well as a bit of people getting their hands involved in various things, both real and metaphorical, including the art of change.

"With an Edge of Honor"


Maiya went to the water to cut reeds, carrying her new metal knife in its wooden sheath. Her pride, evident in her face, surely spoke of the work she was there for, and how well it fed her family. Sova was already there, cutting reeds also, his wooden cutter freshly faced with a thin bronze strip and polished to a good edge.

"Maiya, good to see you!" he called. She smiled, giving him a wave.

"And you, Sova. How is the work?" she replied. Sorrowful, she thought but did not say, to have no apprentice to cut reeds for you. At least his new child-to-be would be helping in a few years.

"Hard enough, but there are plenty of reeds. I'll be making papyrus tomorrow, for the new school!"

I've been sitting on this a bit, but I'm being pushed to reveal this now. This is knowledge revealed to me by several diety over several years, and can be considered as UPG ("Unverified Personal Gnosis") by those interested in verifying spiritual claims against prior texts and folklore.

The diety Astara (called Ostara by some) is called also Star Woman, and Ithun (Iðunn). She is a guardian of the Way of All Ways, a keeper of all paths, and of all travelers and seekers of wisdom and health. She is a master of shapes and stories, and teaches wisdom and humor through them. She is a keeper of medicines (including foods) and every life-way. She is a master of technologies, magics, and power, and can create and destroy almost anything. She is a keeper of wilderness, civilization, order, and chaos. She can speak many languages known to spirits and mortal beings, and retrieve their spirits and memories. She is considered immortal, and can return to life if killed or destroyed unless the whole realm is destroyed with her; thereafter she returns to another realm and can recreate what she has lost. She is Star. She is the spirit of humanity made manifest, the keeper of ultimate human potential.

While some legends may be told, I am not to include them here at this time.

Greetings! I recently had an inspiration for something I could do to contribute to a few DW friends, and tonight got a push from a couple of my spirit guides saying "Do it!"

I'm offering free wisdom card readings from the Hero's Deck, a collection of 36 cards in 3 groups. It's essentially a summary of archetypal Hero's Journey fragments, including Heroic Aspects, Heroic Gifts, and Heroic Challenges. The twist on this reading is, I'm offering these readings particularly for peoples' characters, whether from stories and poems, games, or whatever venue. I'll be answering in character as a traveling bard and sage, Jewel the Water-Singer. Feel free to get creative, write intro text or descriptions of actions, or simply ask questions of the diviner. Jewel will answer as many as four questions for you, though your character might want to offer a gift for more than two.

(If you want a reading for yourself, go ahead and ask, I'll answer this one in character anyway.)

Since anyone can ask, character or not, the usual local-world warnings apply. (Federal law says this is for entertainment purposes only, I'm not a licensed anything, and so on.) The readings will be open from the time of posting until Tuesday, October 2nd, Eastern (New York City) time zone to give those with little warning a chance to drop by.

And with that, ( life is the play, and we are the players! )

This is my final post. The unicorn who lived in this body is moving on shortly: the moment of Solstice marks the transition. That's just after 6:30pm locally to me.

Amused a bit that it's both summer solstice and a full moon. Quite a rare occurrence.

Here are the details I need to give you:

* I was born female in spirit. I am otherkin unicorn and dragon.
* I was to make games, not sit around staring at my computer for the rest of my life. The incoming soul will be doing other work. I'll be going off to try making games again in my next life.
* I will be born on the same birthday as this life; the new body is already developing.
* I would have been named Merriwether Autumn (or some close variation). I'll retain the Meriwether part as a middle name.
* I am Pagan, as is the new soul. We won't be concelebrating, or if we do it will be over 16 years from now. That said, I don't have to worry about what I will do for religion. I'll have Pagan parents who don't disapprove of psychic abilities or magic.
* I am not your god. Incarnate persons don't need to be gods. I find the idea silly. (Yes, this has come up.)
* Finally, I would like to say that if you don't see the game "Call of the Unicorn" within 40 years, the whole thing has been called off. Trust me, you'll know which game is the real one.

Now, I leave you with the last detail of this incarnate life that I am allowed to pass on:

I am the Awakening Unicorn. Heroes are my friends, heroes for justice and honor, truth and kindness.

The Poni way (and yes, there is a reason I wrote it like that) is my way as well.

I'll see you all on the flip side.

Some of you may have heard that Earth has entered a new Age of spirit. This occurs each time Earth's rotational pole aligns with the center of the galaxy, and the half-Age when the pole is furthers away. The precessional cycle which assures this takes about 37,000 years to occur, so the half-Age is about 17,000 away.

It is a unicorn Age.

There are a few issues being worked out. However, thing is, everyone assumed there was ONE unicorn per Age, and they wanted one they knew about and thought they could control.

Unicorns come in fours. They are deer people, not horse people... though Epona, Mother of Horses, is also their mother. Because of this, unicorns can hide as horses or deer. And the primary unicorn of the Age cannot be controlled, because she represents the Age: Dream, whose art is Vision, Inspiration, and Play.

Without further ado, four stones, for the four unicorns of the Age:

For Pukkha the Elder (THE Pukkha), the History: Sidionite, a rainbow of agate in obsidian; for he is the Keeper of the Rainbow Promise. He is blue, with dark hue; he looks black in most lighting.
For Dream the Child, the Future: Larimar in platinum; for she is the gateway to the stars. She is red, with highlights; she looks chestnut in color, but can also be pinkish.
For Horse Woman the Spirit, the Dark (for Humanity refused their Medicine): Agate in all its colors, but separate; for she was torn from her purpose. She is yellow or dun colored as a unicorn.
For Tara the Mature, the Light: Quartz in gold; for in her is beauty eternal. She is white, though as a human she is a red-haired Irish woman.

At the half-Age, Horse Woman and Tara have agreed to change places, as they wanted before. At that time, their stones may change. Other changes are very likely to occur, but it is not for me to predict at this time.

Note on the namings:
* Unicorns come in fours. Each represents an aspect of life (Youth, Maturity, Elderhood, Death/Spirit), each represents an aspect of the Age (Future, Light, History, Dark). These are independent but interrelated; for example, Future usually is also Youth, while Dark is usually Spirit, but it is not unknown for the aspects to be mixed.
** Note also, Light and Dark are NOT Good or Evil, but themselves. You are forewarned.

Note on the stones:
* Sidionite is also called Xochi stone, and is a new stone for the Age. It will be found in volcanic regions, particularly those with mineral-rich land from which agate forms. It is a very high-energy shamanic stone, also associated with the Rainbow People and Quetzlcouatl, WHO IS Pukkha (and a shapeshifter). Rainbow People are healers, and because of this their energy is balanced fully.
* Larimar is a recently-found stone from the Caribbean. It is mostly sky-blue or clouded. It is a very high-frequency faery-aligned stone, pure unicorn energy. Platinum is the best metal for setting it, as it is a very high-frequency metal; silver is a limiter, being a medium-frequency metal, and iron or copper often interfere with its energies since they are low-frequency metals. Gold is aligned with dragon energies rather than unicorn, which is a different set of frequencies: less inspirational and more performative. Dream is otherkin (mythic) when she incarnates as a human, though she may not always appear to be unicorn, as she is a shapeshifter.
* Agate is a natural stone which is good for healing, and which will help support all therians, shapeshifters, and pooka-aligned beings (animal-type persons, including furries). Horse Woman is therian when she incarnates as a human, though there may be hints of other forms if you watch, for she is a shapeshifter.
* Quartz set in gold or with gold inclusions is a very high-frequency stone, particularly clear lithium quartz, which is a dragon-energy stone. The goddess Tara is already known to be associated with dragons and unicorns; what was less well-known is that she is herself a unicorn and a dragon. AND a shapeshifter, as one might surmise.

This is knowledge I received as a vision, prophecy, or channeling. Take it as you will.

Tethnu
Whose name means "Mastery"
Is the last king of Shambhala (called also Shangri-La).
As of December 2015, his reign has been for "80" years. This may be a metaphorical or symbolic number.

--

The kings of Shambhala are gods.
* I know who Tethnu is. Others must earn that knowledge; but it is earnable by mortal, incarnate persons.

According to the legend or myth, Shambhala will be revealed at the end of the reign of its 32 kings, who each reigns for 100 years.
* I believe Shambhala is symbolically the realm of Spirit; and if Spirit is to be revealed, only those who seek it will find it.

Tethnu will not be deposed, but will step down peaceably at the end of his reign.
* When asked, "Who will follow?" the answer came: She will enter when she is ready.

I have forty-one years.

Transformation was promised to me, BEFORE that time is over. Physical transformation. Without surgery.

We will see. I'm already forty years old. My entire life is a series of lies confounded with truths. I would like some promises to be true.

What I would most like to see, however, lies outside the power of my physical self at this time.

So I continue to rebuild who I am, so that I can do the work I have promised to do, regardless of the work that was promised of me.
