The Secret of Seven and the Ragged Tiger

Seven is the the manifestation of nature, the sevenfold scale of the primal energy expressed on earth.
∞ The Book of Doors by Athon Veggi and Alison Davidson

According to Simon Le Bon, the Ragged Tiger is a metaphor for running after success and for ambition.

The secret?

Get you some of that hunger for goodness sake! Without that tiger within, no matter how ragged, you'll never open the doors you closed up before.

You need gumption girl.

According to Google:

shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness.

You need vitality, passion, and insistence too.

Yes. I know. It feels like 2020 and early 2021 have extinguished the fire like the wind licking the flame on a candle.

We are in luck. The dynamic duo is here. Together with Auset, Nebt-Het

...chants the magical words to bring the dead back to life.
∞ The Book of Doors by Athon Veggi and Alison Davidson

Where Nebt-Het makes Osiris (the Soul) subject to death and dismemberment by Seth (Mars), Isis puts him back together again so that he can be resurrected in a future that looks very different from his past.

Isis uses her laser vision to see to the heart of the matter; she sees the truth in every person and in every situation. She piereces through all denial and illuminates our soul's longing. She supports us and reasures us as we move through the difficult process of death, and she welcomes us as we open to the birth of a new life. She holds the vision of who we are and who we are meant to be and calls us toward our higher self. In her, we find the courage to walk our soul's path. ∞ Shamanic Egyptian Astrology by Linda Star Wolf and Ruby Falconer

Nebt-Het makes death possible. Isis supports you through it as the womb that holds your future self. Together Nebt-Het and Isis revive your vitality as you let go of who you were in the past so you can become who you wish to be. Can't you hear them chanting?

Anyhow, who actually issues the death warrant?

Seth! Mars in the modern lore.

Seth kills the old you. He tears your Soul apart. Ironically, when the moment for reincarnation comes, he helps you up the ladder. There are no enemies here.

Seth just moved into Gemini (Akeru). So, right now you can think of him as the rather literal link between the twin natures of Akeru: the past and the future. In order to destroy the status quo and the future that belongs to it, you must walk through Seth's influence. You must pass through destruction in the present moment. Whether you are at the beginning or at the end of your transformative experience, who and what you have been must meet its end NOW.

What you have been experiencing is up for extinction for sure.

Each phase of alchemy takes the progress of the last and changes it irredeemably as you move from dissolution, to reformation, to reddening (re-union with life).

Though the Moon is dark, Sirius is shining bright tonight.

That means it's time for...

Illusion ∞ Ritual ∞ Spell

Retreat now into your mind's eye.

Find the most brilliant star in the heavens. Step into her light.

Where the shadow casts itself, you will see the tiger. Stop for a moment and take note of how the ragged tiger transforms into a magnificent, seductive, irresistible new vision.

The tiger's eye!

Your eye!

With this new vision and your hunger for its fulfillment, you will vanquish the fearful apparitions that rest on the other side of the first door.

Remember...

Time is the illusion that separates you from the second chopstick (from the first taste of delightful satisfaction).

You stand now in the vestibule.

Step 1: To the East (Air) - Imagine it Possible;

Step 2: To the South (Spirit) - Here them singing? Dream on til your dream comes true;

Step 3: To the West (Earth) - 7-7-7; and

Step 4: To the North (Water) - Complete the ritual. Open the door. 

Just like that. You have disappeared between the light and the shadow.

Or is it between the shadow and the light?

I suppose it kind of depends on which way you are going.

Now Find the Wishing Well!

It's the New Moon Manifestation Hour (or Maybe I Should Say "Hours").

This well is teeming with fish!

This well is teaming with fish.

Pisces.

Sothis!

With every wish, you will die a little, but you probably already guessed that.

With every door you open, some part of you will perish so another can live.

For her part, Sothis is the "pure force of love" that changes all. When we meet Sothis' love we...

Allow some aspect of ourselves to die. Through that process, we become transformed into the new version of ourselves that lies waiting to be born.
∞ Shamanic Egyptian Astrology by Linda Star Wolf and Ruby Falconer

Sothis is the author of the wishes that linger like the single, useless chopstick calling our attention, compelling us to run when we believe we have run too far. She is the keeper of the cracks in the pavement. I mean, who said the door opened sideways. Sometimes the door you are looking for is a trap door revealed by a single blossom in the broken concrete. Really, who knows! All we know is something's on your mind!

Wish is another word for dream.

This dreaming is a serious business. You can't get any answers about dreams coming true from the Magic Eight Ball. It offers only yes and no answers. Dreams depend on you becoming which gives rise to a myriad of answers including you staying exactly the same. To do that (to stay the same), you just stand in the past forever. You never walk through the destruction of the wishing well (where Seth, by the loving heart call of Sothis does his dangerous, delirious, delightful damage).

The door back is still there. You don't have to stay. But if you do, cast your spell with deliberation! Speak with clarity. Express your desire with a good, sound strategy.

Let your lips by like a chessboard. Make good use of the darkness and the light every time you open your mouth.

Here's a strategic example of what to do next:

• Write down your wishes within eight hours of the New Moon;
• Write and keep no more than 10 wishes per month in your own handwriting being careful to record the date (maybe keep a wish notebook);
• Write down (on the final list) only those wishes that evoke a feeling of harmony on the exact date of the New Moon;
• Keep repeating unfulfilled wishes taking care to break them down into more precise steps;
• Shift your approach to other people, rather than wishing they would change;
• Make a treasure map on the Spring Equinox; and
• Use your Granddaddy Power Period (based on the sign at the cusp of your 11th House).

On this New Moon, the Granddaddy Power Period that opens belongs to people who have 22 degrees of Pisces at the cusp of the Eleventh House. A new GDPP begins every day (not just on the New of Full Moon). So, look yours up and plan ahead.

I'll Add One Rule of My Own: Check the New Moon Energy for MORE Opportunities

Sextiles represent opportunities. There are 8 in this chart. 8 sextiles, 8 hours. Hmmm.

8 is "death for resurrection." How convenient.

How's that for a Magic 8 Ball?

I'll let you dig into THAT.

I am most intrigued by Venus and Neptune sextile Black Moon Lilith (in Taurus).

Lilith's been hanging out in the sign of Hathor and keeping company with Uranus (Wadjet, the lightning strike of change, the cobra goddess, the ultimate transformative experience).

Oh to dream of snakes!

What could go RIGHT?!

Lilith goes through the door of her exile alone. The end of her journey is reconciliation (otherwise known as sharing a common dream). Lilith featured very prominently in Firebrand 2021: Rise as the Whole Damn Fire (my 2021 prophecy).

Here's part of what I said:

Lilith is a complex figure. She is essentially the feminine pleasure principle in exile under patriarchy. Her journey is complex, yet integrated response to patriarchal suppression. She begins her journey in protest and ends it in synthesis. She tells us both how to oppose oppression and how to heal from it (along with the measures we undertook to fight it). That's right! What we did to survive, if we continue it now, will return us to the starting line in an old, familiar race. ∞ Firebrand 2021: Rise as the Whole Damn Fire

That's right. There's your door back to the past. Just keep fighting an endless fight.

You stood alone in the light of Sirius.

You walked through that door as a game of solitaire.

But when you reappear, if your wishes are TRUE (Ma'at), you will cast a new shadow hand in hand with others.

You will traverse the space between the past and the future. You will step forward and into a common dream.

Yes! You will find the courage to Dream the Impossible Dream.

Come to think of it, I hear the chanting getting louder now. It's loud enough I can make out the words. You?

Oh right. I was supposed to say something about the Sun and the Moon. But I just don't feel moved to. Maybe next time. Who knows!

I will say that true justice (the kind where we do more than swap out the power positions in the same old hierarchy) will never be possible until we all return to the doors we slammed shut against the hope of love.

I'll let you work out the details, just you and the wishing well.

I've got doors of my own to open and a collective shadow to cast on the morrow. Before the morning light.

BELOVED.

To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest,
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.

To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause.
