The bulk of the Winds of Truth script was believed to have been channelled by Lord Mikaal, better known as Archangel Michael or St Michael, through the medium of Chavarinis. Of himself the Script states:
“I come to give to a hungry world a vision of Truth” and describes himself thus: “in a bygone age was a master of the temple of Ellhonhia, Egypt today, who is “ a watcher of the Earth Plane”
According to the Script he is Lord of the Twelfth Solar Ray of Power and Ruler ship. The Scripts guidelines state that : “Love and power are the two combining forces of Ruler ship – or should be” and that “an order, a community, of people cannot exist without trust and love”. Sadly this rarely happens, especially now. Lord Mikaal is concerned with balance as the Script states; “In my hands lies the battle of Good and Evil”, forming the “Trinity of Eternity with God, Jesias and my unworthy self”
Some sources state that the Age of Aquarius is also the Age of Michael.
The Feast Day of St Michael, also called Michaelmas is on 29th September when the sun is in the astrological sign of Libra, symbolised by the scales which are carved on the tower dedicated to St Michael on the top of Glastonbury Tor.
The scales symbolise justice and his Feast Day falls at a time of balance in Nature when the hours of day and night are of equal length. Sources state that on this day he is particularly close to the Earth plane.
Traditionally all agreements concerning agriculture, land and farming were signed at Michaelmas and still are in some rural areas. Michaelmas Fairs were and still are held around this time.
A twelfth century charter mentions a fair held on Glastonbury Tor. Bridgwater Fair is held around this time and comes to Glastonbury although it is no long held on the Tor.
In 1921 Alfred Watkins discovered Ley or energy lines when he had a momentary image of a web of light linking ancient sites, holy places and some wells. The longest Ley line is the Michael Line which runs from St Michaels Mount off the Cornish coast linking many sites with churches dedicated to St Michael- Brentor in Devon, Burrowbridge Mump in Somerset, now ruins and the tower on Glastonbury Tor which was a church but the body of the building was destroyed by an earthquake in 1275.
The line runs through Avebury, Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk which has abbey ruins and a Glastonbury road, probably an ancient pilgrim way, to join the North Sea at Hopton-on-Sea on the Norfolk coast.
Dion Fortune wrote of these sites that; “They put up chapels dedicated to St Michael, whose function was to keep down the forces of the underworld and held in perpetual adoration there”
Visualise Archangel Michael, robed in blue, standing on top of Glastonbury Tor, holding his golden Sword of Light aloft and drawing the equal-armed cross within the circle leaving a trail of light of spiritual truth in the ether for all who are receptive to or feel a resonance with this vibration.
Do this anytime you feel the need for protection before and after mediation, especially powerful at Michaelmas.
Do you feel, sense, hear or see anything?
Some sources suggest that St Bridget is the heavenly consort of St Michael. In Irish mythology, through her father the Dagda, Bridget's gift to the world was the Sword of Light to dispel darkness. Over the years “darkness”, “black” and other related words have come to mean evil. Much evil stems from ignorance and, as Madame Blavatsky wrote in “The Secret Doctrine”: “Darkness is pure spirit”
The Feast Day of St Bridget who is a pagan solar goddess of poetry, healing and smith craft which has alchemical and solar associations, is 1st February - Imbolc meaning “ewes milk” in the pagan calendar and 2nd February – Candlemas in the Christian calendar. Both are associated with the return of light and vanquishing evil as is Archangel Michael.
Ancient Egyptians put great emphasis on a name they called the “ren” and much of the Western Mystery Tradition has its roots in Egypt. An anagram of St Michael is alchemist, an Arabic word for the secret art of transmutation of base metals into gold and the elixir of life. In paintings and stained glass windows St Michael is often depicted with a sword and a dragon, perhaps an allegory for the spiritual quest which is a form of alchemy.
St Bridget was said to be the midwife to souls, being born and dying, which links to St Michael with the scales of justice on which human souls are weighed which has echoes of the Weighing of the Heart Ceremony in the “Egyptian Book of The Dead”; as ancient Egyptians believed that the heart was the seat of the soul.
According to the writings of William of Malmesbury circa 1135, and John of Glastonbury circa 1340, St Bridget visited Beckery near Glastonbury in 488 A. D
.where a chapel on Bride's Mound in Beckery was dedicated to her. A ley line runs from the site of this chapel to St Bridget's Church at Brean, near Burnham-on-Sea where The Sanctuary is.
We need to preserve myths and legends for future generation as they are part of our culture and mystical heritage. Let us ponder upon these words from
“A Glastonbury Romance” by John Cowper Powys about this haunting coastline:-
“And as these tides came in, over the brown desolate mudflats, they evoke strange legends and wild, half-forgotten memories along the coast. Ancient prophecies seemed to awakens and flicker again , prophecies that had perished long ago, like blown-out candles in gusty windows, cold as the torch flames by which they were chanted and the extinct fires by which they were conceived”
What does this evoke for you?
