Well, it has been an energetic couple of weeks. Omar (Husband) had to go to Naqada last week to sort out his father’s pension. Naqada is a town, a half an hour’s drive away from us here on the West Bank. I don’t normally go but this time I felt an overwhelming urge, nay excitement, at the thought of accompanying them! I recognised the feeling. It is what I used to get when I lived in the UK and Ireland, when energy-work needed to be done. Omar’s brother had hired our neighbour’s service taxi, so we bundled an elderly father into the back seat and off we went, Omar, Amer, (brother) dad and myself, and the crazy driver!
It was so nice to get out into the green again. As we drove along I felt the energy of the fields and the Nile and I opened myself up to them. I felt open and energised and connected. I heard myself ‘calling’ elementals to come and join me in my work as we drove. It felt wonderful. I watched the small farms as we passed, mudbrick houses, buffalo and cows tethered beside the canals, women sitting outside their homes. Then, of course, the huge electricity pylons, stretching out through the fields, their long deadly tendrils filling the skies above us. The old life and the new.
I knew when we were closer to Naqada because I could feel the energy shifting. We drove through dusty main streets, no tarmac here, until we came to the Government building. We parked opposite, trying to leave room for other vehicles, donkey carts and toctocs, (3-wheelers). I stayed in the taxi while Omar went to do the business and while I sat there, I felt my energy move up into the sky. I could see a massive dark vortex, swirling blacks, and greys and whites, above the city. It was the collective beliefs of Naqada. It didn’t look so good! I ‘saw’ my hands pulling down a large golden cord, which I attached to the centre of my being, the Mother centre in my belly. 
I felt a feminine energy descend into me as I sat still in the car, and when she was fully anchored in my energy-field, her dress, a grey-blue satin-like material, spread out wide. I saw large pins anchor the hem of the dress to the ground in a large circle. She moved up so that the fabric became taut and then it began to flow out around her. It began to move, like water, into the streets, filling up every nook and cranny of the city. Then she looked up at the great swirling cloud above her and she raised her arms up high and gathered the vortex in her hands, rolling all of those energies into a ball. I waited to see what she was going to do with the ball, until I saw her ingest it. As she swallowed it, it moved into her mother centre, in her belly. After a few moments, she raised her arms again and this time she brought with them the beautiful energies of growth, beauty and greenness; of life and the love of life. It felt wonderful, loving and clean. The complete opposite to how it is today, a dirty, dusty, rubbish-strewn environment. Naqada is a predominantly Christian city and quite poor. Out in the desert they found evidence of a people who had migrated from the deserts, during the Neolithic period, when the temperatures changed and their once fertile oases became barren sand dunes. These people spread out, even to where we live here, on the West Bank in Luxor. Right outside our home, and underneath parts of it, lie the 6,000 year old cemeteries of the Naqada peoples. They were a ‘Goddess-centered’ people and were the beginning of all the history here in this part of Egypt. 
Driving back from Naqada we took the desert road, as the driver wanted to speed up a little. Not a reassuring thought as he is an abysmal driver! About 5 km outside of Qurna, Luxor, I brought down the energy of a huge white disc. It spread itself over the city of Luxor, east and west. In the centre of this disc a large column/tube was connected, like the hose on a fire hydrant, which stretched up into the sky. It was as if it was just being set up for energies to flood in at some point.
A couple of days later I was listening to music. I had done a few Gaia Method attunements with some lovely women from Ireland and in the UK, and my energies were nicely connected. Music always acts as the trigger for energy-work, and the work I do while listening to music is more like a dance, dancing the energy of nature. This dance was quite different to any I have ever experienced before. I found myself raising fire, which was huge and cleansing. Then I felt like the destructive Goddess, her energy moving fiercely around me, wild and free, like a massive thunderstorm. This went on for a few minutes, the energy whipping up the waters of the Nile so that they no longer knew in which direction they flowed, north or south. Then suddenly I felt the Goddess energy stop and she made everything quiet and soft again, like an orchestra playing a soft, soothing melody after a long crescendo.
It seemed to be such a huge energy, that I was a little afraid of what it might mean. It felt chaotic and wild yet I experienced the dancing of it as something necessary and life-changing. It didn’t matter to her, how much it effected anyone, so long as everything was re-balanced once again. That’s just nature’s way. But it is going to be very interesting around here when this does happen. I sure hope we’re prepared. I have been receiving a lot of guidance about stocking up for the winter, and the weather patterns changing, so things are going to get interesting. Thank god we planted a lot of wheat this year!!
