21 - The World Tree

[AeonHorus]

21 ~ The World Tree:~ So the end is in sight, and the cycle is almost complete as Ying into Yang, as the night falls in to a day as sure as winter turns back into spring, and so the cycle can begin again. The world tree here is both in bloom and also in full shed, the sky is both day and night and the season is in summer and winter. A crane flies to the tree, bringing with it a solid union of the underworld, middleworld and otherworld. The Crane is also known as the keeper of all arcane knowledge and stands for patience and diligence too. The Adder at the base of the tree seems to be entwined within its root system thus connecting the underworld with our world. Adder gives us a massive boost to our life energy. She offers healing and also shows us transformation. Because the ancients saw the serpent shed her skin and become a new they ascribed her with mystical powers of regeneration and rebirth which again echoes predominantly throughout the world tree. The tree itself is an Ash which speaks to us not only of growth, expansion and seeing things from a higher perspective, but also about resurrection and rebirth. The Druids used to hold the notion that the Ash held mystic messages and that the Ash was a doorway that not only connected but held together the realms of the earth and the sky.

So here we are at the end of our journey and we have now come full cycle through the three phases of life, development of awareness and the construction of character then onto the opening up the powers of the sub-consciousness and finally down the path to enlightenment. Here the cycle originates again.
