XVIII The Moon and XIX The
Sun
When I was
pregnant with my first child I lived in Tucson Arizona. There
was something about the desert there that felt so magical to me
and I have never felt so at home in a place, especially when the
hot winds were blowing, they seemed to be completely alive.
One day I found
myself in communication with an entity who said he was traveling
through the area and identified himself as Coetzl. We discussed
many things and I learned a lot that afternoon from him. The
statement he made that had the most impact on me was that the
Sun was God’s metaphor for himself.
The words of
Coetzl were on my mind when I painted the Sun and Moon cards,
together, so they would complement each other.
The Sun and the
Moon were one layer of manifested symbols that describes the
universe we live in and are made out of. One layer of ‘as
above, so below’. The Great Mother and Father, the hidden and
the illuminated, light and dark. The Prime duality. Together
they make a whole.
I often think
about how lucky we are to live on a planet that has such an
incredible relationship with the Moon and the Sun, some of the
coincidences are just amazing, such as the distance of the moon
being so perfect as to enable it to cover the suns disk in an
eclipse. And even more perfect that occasionally, when the
sunspot cycle is low, the corona and streamers of an aligned sun
and moon give birth to a great phoenix in the sky, a red corona
with plumage shaped equatorial rays of light like wings, and
polar rays like a great spread out tail. The symbol of the
winged disk can be found in art and iconography all over the
ancient world as a symbol of God, the Sun God, and/or a symbol
of rebirth.
