The Umbilical Cord.

February 23, 2014August 3, 2024 / Ann Murphy / 2 Comments

There are some elements to this work which can feel physically strange, such as energy-tubes emerging from the lower Tan Tien, the centre behind your navel, and moving into vortices or rivers. To my mind’s eye, the tube looks like a fireman’s hose and its purpose is to either fill up the energy centre with fluid energy, so you can bring it someplace else. It’s a way of moving water-energy about, connecting rivers and lakes to each other.

When this happens, it will create a pulling sensation in the belly, and you will either see, or feel, an umbilical hose emerge fromt hat point and move into the water. It then sucks in water, like an elephant’s trunk, until that centre is full. The energy is then carried in the belly until it is ready to be deposited someplace else. It can often feel quite bloating, as you carry this energy in your body.

This umbilical hose has a consciousness all of its own and can activate at any time. Even while in a car, train or plane. As you pass a body of water, the fire-hose umbilical cord will emerge and move quickly into the water while you are passing. More often than not, if it happens while you are a passenger in a car, you might find yourself stuck in a traffic jam, and the hose will emerge, take up water while you sit waiting, and then be finished by the time the jam clears. I sometimes think obstacles were created just for that purpose! You never know with this work…

During the times this has happened with me, when I am full of water, I have no clue for where it is destined – until I get there. I just have to trust it. Sometimes, along with the water, small diamond energies also flow into my centre via the tube, which also stay in my centre until they are required elsewhere. And that ‘anywhere’ could literally be anywhere.

On one occassion, way back before I lived in Luxor, I had to deposit the water energy of the River Itchen, in Hampshire, into a place in Luxor. The river itchen is a river a few of us have been activating and bringing back to its energetic fertility for years. I had taken up this water and then had promptly forgotten about it. I had also done the same in Ireland, pulling in water, and in parts of the UK.

Chris and I were staying for three weeks in a flat but the swimming pool had not yet been built. Instead what was destined to be the pool, was a vegetable garden, becasue no peace of valuable land would go unworked and there was always time to grow onions, tomatoes, and rocket, etc. Our flat was on the third floor so we could see the Nile from there, and look down over this walled garden. This is my journal entry for that time:

“I was sitting on the balcony, having our usual million cups of tea, when I stood up and looked over the rail. I felt the familiar pulling sensation of my stomach wanting to connect to the ground. This had happened the first day we arrived here too. The swimming pool has still not been built and Jamal is growing vegetables in the space. I felt the pulling sensation in my navel and my umbilical unwound like a hose and moved down to connect with the ground. Then all the water I had accumulated from the rivers and wells in Ireland and England flowed through it and filled the space with a pool of water. Then it wound itself back up into my navel. Process complete. I wondered what was going to happen with all that water I had absorbed!”

Looks lovely, but it was stolen from us by the Egyptian owner.

As it turned out that was the exact spot where they eventually built the pool but we never got to enjoy it. But, because of that time in the flat, I met someone else I would work with in Luxor, which gave me the opportunity to heal many deep-seated traumas and do some amazing energy work there. I was transferring energy from the west to the east, a process which I, and others, are still doing.

On a later occasion, I was with my friend Eartha, another Gaia Method healer who I have done a lot of work with. She lives in Dorset, around Corfe Castle, one of my most favourite places in England. Dorset and its sacred places come under her guardianship. On that occassion, we were spending the weekend in her teepee and she took me to a place which she does energywork regularly: a beautiful ancient trackway beneath Nine Barrows Down. This is the journal entry for that time:

“…we wandered back but we continued down Eartha’s priestess path until we came to a sand pit. I was explaining to Eartha how we can access ancient energy here because the time layers are exposed, and we went to stand by the sandbank. While I was talking I felt the odd sensation of my umbilical cord moving out like a hose and moving deep into the earth to some ancient water source. My umbilical hose is now about 6 inches in diameter and is golden. It pulled up lots of liquid from deep in the earth and I had to stand there until it was complete. This entire area is ‘priestessy’ for Eartha, and it feels very ancient, more Atlantean really! She was having to pull energy into her field which looked like green and then gold like wings. When we were finished the gold hose came up and at the opening of it there was now a facetted ruby egg. When my umbilical coiled itself back the ruby stayed at the end and inserted itself into my centre. It feels like it needs to go somewhere else, to be planted like I planted the water in the Flat. “

(When I speak of Atlantis I am speaking of the time when the continents were joined in one larger landmass, millions of years ago. I am not speaking of the Atlantis of Plato.)

This umbilical cord also connects to other people when they need healing or replenishment and seems to activate from that other part of us that knows what it is doing. Often I feel like a witness to what happens, when I do energywork, but it is the accumulation of all of my soul training which is being used and me, as Ann, doesn’t often understand what the energy part of me is doing until much later; I just have to trust it. Other energy-work healers say the same thing!

On a visit to Cornwall with Chris in 2006, we found that many ancient settlement sites were also set up to fulfil the same function:

“Our next visit was Carn Euny, an Iron Age settlement site. It was a terrific place and the fougou was amazing. My first impression, before entering, was a layer of fear which had been added later. It might have been to keep people out, a little like a powerful magus using it for his own purpose rather than as its original intention. As I walked into the fougou itself I instantly saw a group of council elders/druids and it felt like a kiva. A place of power originally intended as a place of law and ritual, the hub or centre of the community.

Originally there was nothing ‘precious’ about the fougou, it was just seen for what is was, the navel of the community, and given its due respect. It was an accepted part of the community. People lived around it, got on with their lives around it. It was part of their everyday lives. The fougou entrance symbolised the umbilical cord, the source of nourishment for the community. They were well-fed and taken care of and had a good community spirit, like the Hopi Indians. From this place you can see the sea and it feels like a beautiful place, a perfect place to live.

I sat on stone slab and closed my eyes. An Arabic woman dressed in black appeared and in her arms she held a naked boy-child, sickly and thin. She placed the boy on the ground in front of me and stood back, silently asking me to heal her sick child. Initially I wasn’t sure what to do and then I saw my umbilical cord move down into the earth beneath me, feeding the settlement with the energy I’ve been carrying from Men an Tol since yesterday! I didn’t even know I’d been carrying it but they had said something about a download but I didn’t realise what they meant, until now! No wonder I felt so bloated.

Anyway, when this process of ‘feeding’ had finished my cord was retracted and I saw the energy of a tribal runner sending communication to other settlements, letting them know that the Mother’s energy has returned at last, the lines are flowing once again. There was great excitement and it felt really good.”

As it turned out, this was about my work in Egypt, which at that time, I did not know I would be doing. But all my work there was to open the lines of the Mother’s energy. But it was also an anchoring of the energy in carn Euny, which mirrored what I would do in Egypt.

Working with the ‘umbilical’ cord seems to be a natural part of Planetary Healing. Once, while at a workshop in Wales with Jhadten Jewell I was speaking to another healer and I was trying to explain to her what happens with the umbilical energies. She said that that was part of Vortex Healing. I had never heard of Vortex healing, but it would be interesting to see if it is the same thing.

Another way the umbilical cord can be experienced is while working with trees. You may find yourself suddenly feeling an emotional connection with a tree but this time, instead of you extending the umbilical cord, the tree will feed you through an umbilical cord. It feeds you with its sap or with the water that runs up through the trunk to the upper branches. The upper branches are where the consciousness of the tree resides and once you have been fed by a tree in this way, as though you have been given a tree infusion, you begin to identify other tree beings and start to process events and life as if you yourself were a tree. You start to recognise other sentient trees. The tree is like a mother-tree, feeding you as she feeds the young trees in her care.

Just as a baby in the womb is fed fluids through the umbilical cord from the mother’s blood, blood which nouishes the baby and helps it to grow, so too does the enrgetic umbilical cord pass energetically nourishing fluids through it. In this way, you become both the feeder and the fed.

The Cones-of-Nature Attunement.

February 13, 2014December 9, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

The cone of nature deeply replenishes the physical and energetic body, aligning them to the different layers within nature. Even under the most draining of circumstances it provides the energy to keep you going.

The channelling below explains the Cone, which I was reminded to use recently when spending a lot of time indoors taking care of my elderly father. I felt very cut off from nature’s supportive energy and when I was told to remember it, I saw the cone move into my auric field again. The cone reconnected me to the nature in his garden and to the tree out front. I felt energetically connected, and supported, again.

Having the cone anchored in your auric field, also means that you ‘take nature with you wherever you go’. Through each of the layers within the cone, you pull in energy that corresponds to the human body, filling the cone layers and thereby your auric field and physical body. This acts as a reservoir, filling, and feeling, your connection to nature and keeping that connection strong, even if you are living where very little nature exists, such as in a high-rise block of flats, or an inner city location. Every time you go to a place of nature, even a park, you can re-fill your cone and this will keep you going.

(There is also an essence to help you do that too, that gives greater access to those layers and which was gifted to me by the Elemental energy of the woods). Below, is the communication I received from my guides, when they first attuned me to this energy.

Another use for your cone-battery of nature energy is that you can share it with your plants if you have plants in the home or on a balcony. Sharing the energy you have filled yourself up with, from a special nature place you feel particularly connected to, allows your plants to feel they are living within that abundant growth of nature, their true home.

Here is the channelled information about the cone:

Down through the centuries man has endeavoured to control the elements. He does this from a basic lack of trust in Nature’s ability to decide for herself what is needed for maintaining the balance of her planet. She is but one element of the planetary intelligence just as skin is but one element of your human body.

Humanity are like communities of ants that live in your lawn. They change and disrupt that part of the ‘skin’ on which they live. If your lawn was filled with ant communities, it would be unpleasant to sit on, but it would still look alright. You notice their ‘workings’, but they do not cause lasting damage, because their building is superficial. If you were to take a rotovator to your lawn, those ant communities would be destroyed, because their ‘cities’ are close to the surface.

In the same way humanity’s cities and works are unsightly and mar the beauty of the countryside, but they are also superficial and can not create any lasting damage, as nature can easily ‘rotovate’ her lawn in order to create something new. Man, however, is at the mercy of this ‘whim’ of Nature, this reversal of their norm and so, for this reason, they block nature out. They deny her power, for they believe that if they do so, then nature will leave them alone. She will ignore their existence, just as you do the anthills.But try as they might, they cannot succeed for Nature will always seek a balance, and if you are in her way then that is of no concern to her. Her way is balance, in much the same way as skin works to heal a blister, life will always seek a balance.In order to succeed in your venture, a working relationship with nature is required. You will need to be ‘tuned in’ to her frequency so that you create with balance in mind. Trying to do otherwise will only end in failure.

Try this tonight: as you retire for sleep imagine a giant cone, inverted, above and surrounding your house. See that within this cone are layers of substance, each made up, in varying degrees, of vegetation and matter. See, in one layer, the grasses and plants beneath your feet. In the next layer, see the plants and trees which grow high above you. In the following layer, see the clouds of energy which swirl around and about you as you step forth from your house. In the succeeding layers, see the stars above as they shine their everlasting light upon your planet.

Recognise that all these elements come into play during every aspect of your human life. Learn to understand the interplay of each of these levels/layers and learn to work on unlocking the secrets of nature, as we know them. Only in understanding this relationship between each elemental layer, will you understand how the Universe functions, and how Nature plays its part in maintaining the Divine Balance of the planet.

We leave you now to peruse our words and try our technique. Record all that you experience and when you are ready pass it on in the form of Art and writing. It will take many years, but it will open your eyes to the many wonders which nature has created on your beautiful planet – her creation.

The Cone of Nature Attunement

This attunement anchors you into the both the Cone and the layers of nature you work with. They are different for everyone. As usual with all the attunements, your guides may well jump in with other energies they feel you need.

Working with the Dragon Energies.

January 18, 2014 / Ann Murphy / 12 Comments

Channelling on the Dragons:

“Dragons are indeed the guardians of the underworld, both that of the Earth realm and that of the realm of human consciousness. When you awaken the sleeping dragon you are initiating a course of action within the mind of humanity, which will change the thinking of everyone on the Earth plane. For this reason, only certain people are ‘qualified’ to work with the dragons as they have built up, over many incarnations, the ability to work with the human mind. Their thinking is focussed and direct and they are capable of deep contemplation, plumbing their own depths and that of humanity. The dragon represents all that is mighty and powerful within the forces of creation. In awakening the dragons you also awaken man’s ability to create heaven on earth. Only in using power with wisdom can true magic be affected.

The serpents, on the other hand, are those energies which allow for certain frequencies to be brought into play. The Earth serpents ‘maintain’ an energetic balance between sun and Earth. They hold the grid in place. Without their energy there would be no world. They are designed to activate certain areas within the grid that resonate with Divine Power. At these sites abundance is attained and with it, the lessons of Power. The ability to generate abundance, that is free to all, depends on the ability to balance power with desire. If one desires much and is given what they desire yet their power issues are out of balance, that abundance is then used for personal gain and does not benefit the whole. However, when abundance is achieved by one who balances power with desire, that abundance is then used to generate ‘more abundance’ for the common good and the betterment of humanity.

Working with the Serpents needs courage and dedication.

Working with the Dragons requires a sound connection to both Sun/Heaven and the Earth. When you assist in their awakening and maintenance continual creation is assured.

The dragons guard the crystal eggs. These eggs contain the new coded information for the continuance of the planet. Each of your students is aligned to a facet of this creation energy and will, in time, learn how to use it, as you have.

If there is a crystal at a site, many people ‘layer’ it. Each person works with a facet of its energy to awaken and maintain it. In this way many people are required to work the timelines. Each person begins by moving to their site at the allotted times and works their magic. The energies then unfold and the next person due comes and does theirs. In this way many hues are added and all seeds sown.

The black Dragons: As it unfurls its great, black wings, and rises into the night it’s egg is uncovered and, as dawn breaks, the dragon returns. But the egg is changed, it is alive with passion and with power. Alive with the knowing that all good things will emerge from within its crystal shell. New life will burst, birthing a new solar consciousness, bathing the earth with life and joy, bathing each person with love and wisdom.

Only the strongest, most resilient, can work with the black dragons. They are the dark, the mysterious, full of illusion and delusion. If you have not learned how to balance your thinking, how to question what you see, then you are not ready. Only those with the strongest, clearest minds and can see ‘multiple realities’ for what they are i.e. layers of symbolic meaning, designed to protect the very nature of the work, can work within these realms. These are the realms of humanity’s deepest recesses, their darkness, their passions and desires for riches, power and dominion. Only those who can keep their heart light steady, focussed on what is real, can join the ranks of the great Dragon healers. Healers of the dark side, the shadow side of human consciousness.

We dwell there and from there we see that all that surrounds us is covered in a layer of fear, fear of knowledge, fear of love, fear of true knowing. For in knowledge lies wisdom and in knowledge lies the possibility of love, and humanity has become afraid of these things, because they fear, that in having them they will lose what they think they need.

You know this not to be so, so are in a position to remove this layer. This energy is rooted in many places. Travel to these places now and sever their connections so that the entire layer is no longer able to feed itself on the fears generated by human emotion and thinking. It is a double edged-sword, each feeds and maintains the other.

So now, as the dark dragons take flight, fill your minds with hope and thoughts of freedom as we lead you to the secret lairs of the Dark Dragons. There you will uproot the fears that have penetrated to the very heart of your world and you will proceed to plant the flames of Divinity, so that thoughts of love and succour fill the hearts of mankind.”

Water Dragon.

There are two celestial dragons which travel through space and through the Earth, keeping it anchored. The blue dragon energy is female and moves through space. It circles the earth many times before finding an ‘entrance point’. When it finds it, usually associated with water, it enters it and becomes the rivers and oceans. This includes underground rivers and water channels.

The gold dragon seems to be connected to the sun and is male. “The meeting place between two points is where the greatest potential for distortion lies. When a site is powerful any distortions appear greater and the effect of these distortions are magnified. In order to heal the distortion, reconnective energies are needed. The energies of blue and gold keep the balance of flow and magnitude/magnification flowing at the right frequency. If either of these lines of force are not moving at the correct speed then the distortions occur. Trying to rectify the imbalance becomes an emotional challenge as these lines show up and magnify any corresponding imbalances in the energy field.”

The Web of Life.

September 11, 2013October 27, 2025 / Ann Murphy / 3 Comments

Recently, healers around the world, and guardians of sacred places, have begun to spin lines of the web, connecting sacred places to each other. We do this by exchanging stones, the stones which contain the energy of the place they belong to. This is another way to create a web of spider energy around the planet. Each person is connected to a particular goddess aspect and anchors that aspect where she lives. She also anchors it in other places by transporting water and stones and anchoring them where she visits. This is done with intention and under guidance as the places that need connecting are part of an over all plan, or structure. This web is the Web of life which is explained below in a channelling I received in 2008.

The spider weaves the threads of energy that link the holy sites of the Mother. Her legs fasten onto each web she spins, and threads of many hues and colours emerge from her belly. She grows light. She is light. She is the weaver of the Webs of light, the webs which involve the growth and stability of new human thinking. Without her weaving the new thoughtforms could not travel ‘the web’.

Creation happens in an instant but it’s growth happens over time. In order for the web to be successful it needs to be maintained. Threads can be broken or destroyed and the Spider Woman reweaves them, constantly mending and growing new ones. In this way the web is maintained.

New Spider women are being awoken now. The Ancient seamstresses, sewing and weaving earth’s creations, are moving into place. The web must be maintained and strengthened so that the future of humanity can be stabilised and can continue to grow and evolve.

Help the spider women to become aware of who they are and what their task is. Some will work only with particular colours, their colours, some will work with more. They will relearn this skill.

I am the Spider woman, Mother of the World. Red and black are my colours. The earth dragons are me, and mine. My energy flowing through the veins and fissures of the earth.

Welcome to my domain.”

Comment:

The Earth lines are Red/Male and black/female. Red and Black dragon energy. The red line Dragon energy is like lifeblood, feeding the earth, like blood feeds your body. You will often find the red lines connecting to sacred sites, along with other lines. They can be quite deep in the earth and sometimes you will have to pick them up and anchor them higher up in the land so that they can feed that level of the earth. I have also found, with some small sites, that the red line can feed smaller satellites sites of bigger Mother Sites, much as a mother feeds her child.

These earth lines are anchored by people, who act as mediums between earth and sky/cosmos. The earth lines you perceive in the landscape were laid by others in times past. The more proficient you become in working with the red and black earth lines, which already exist in the landscape, the more you begin to create new lines in areas which require them. Its not something you think about before hand its just something you do when it is required.

My first experience of the red lines was at a site called Coldridge Woods, just over the Hampshire border, where I had been doing an archaeological survey of a Banjo enclosure (Bronze Age/Iron-age circular earthwork with avenue, like a banjo shape). This settlement site lay in a woods which was medieval but which was originally open land with a few trees. A fellow archaeology student and healer, Kat, and I, noticed that the current ‘avenue’ into the banked enclosure was not its original one as there was a faint remains of a ditched trackway facing in another direction. I tuned into this direction and saw red energy flow down from another source which we then had to walk anti-clockwise around the circular ditch to join again with the incoming flow.

It then moved in the opposite direction, but parallel to the incoming flow. Flowing back to where it originated from. I had only begun to do energywork but this felt like the site’s lifeblood, which fed this enclosure and brought fertility to the land. But where had it come from?

We walked the line as far as we could before it disappeared but I ‘knew’ that it was connected to a Hillfort somewhere. So later on in the day, I got my map (indispensable when doing earthwork) and followed the line straight to Fosbury Hillfort. The archaeology student who had led us to this Banjo enclosure later brought us to Fosbury and it was a beautiful settlement, filled with the energy of the Mother. This ‘Mother’ was ‘feeding’ its ‘child’ settlement at Coldridge. At this point, I didn’t know that it was part of the Spider Woman energies as I was still learning about energywork in the land.

Sites which are fed and nourished by the red energies do not necessarily flow in straight lines, but can be channelled into whatever spaces they need to nourish. Trees often act as anchors for these red lines, the tree roots ‘holding’ the energy line in place and acting as transmitter of the line’s energies.

On-going exploration of this site, both archaeological and energetic, showed us how important this site was to the locality, as it contained two vortexes, Spring and Winter, at the base of the Avenue. The original occupants of the site had lovingly built and maintained these energy sites until incoming invaders had burned their settlement to the ground.

The black lines are the Black Dragon energies and the deepest aspects of the Human unconscious. During a Gaia Method Attunement (GME) attunement with a friend Eartha Dragon, we had a ‘visit’ from a female energy calling herself ‘Mer’. She said that she was the dark, underworld Goddess. She had black orbs for eyes, black hair and pale skin. She said that she lived in the bowels of the earth, in the deepest recesses and represented the dark emotional energy of the collective unconscious. Her realm is where the black energy flows. She is the deepest healing possible, the realm of the Night, and all the dark places.

Recently, my guides popped in to clarify an issue around the difference between lines of light and lines of force. In the previous channelling above they called the spider lines lines of light and yet now they are adding to that. There is a difference between them but the lines lie close together and work together.

Differentiate between lines of force and lines of light. The spider energies are lines of force, the lines of light lie alongside them. When we say lines of force we mean they are like electricity lines, lines which allow a force to move through them. Lines of light are vibrational frequencies akin to sound and colour. These are healing frequencies. Lines of force bring change, a change in the surroundings through which they move. The lines of light bring healing to the consequences of those changes. Things are shifted when the force moves through them, light heals what is released/revealed.

This pertains to upcoming work which will involve healing the energies that remain from the two previous world wars, clearing the energies, and cutting the lines that connect them to the present, and which fuel current dramas/wars being acted out in the Middle East.

Serpent Energies.

September 10, 2013August 25, 2024 / Ann Murphy / 4 Comments

When I first began to work with serpent energies, my guides started me off working with serpent energies, then they began teaching me how to work with the dragon energies. But, becasue there seemed to many crossovers between the energies of the serpents and those of the dragons, I asked for clarity. This is what they said: (The italicised words indicated communication from my guides).

“Dragons are the guardians of the underworld, both that of the Earth realm and that of the realm of human consciousness. When you awaken the sleeping dragon, you are initiating a course of action within the mind of humanity, which will change the thinking of everyone on the Earth plane. For this reason, only certain people are ‘qualified’ to work with the dragons, as they have built up, over many incarnations, the ability to work with the human mind. Their thinking is focused and direct and they are capable of deep contemplation, plumbing their own depths and that of humanity. The dragon represents all that is mighty and powerful within the forces of creation. In awakening this dragon you also awaken man’s ability to create heaven on earth. Only in using power with wisdom can true magic be effected.

The serpents, on the other hand, are those energies which allow for certain frequencies to be brought into play. The Earth serpents ‘maintain’ an energetic balance between sun and Earth. They hold the grid in place. Without their energy, there would be no world. They are designed to activate certain areas within the grid that resonate with Divine Power. At these sites, abundance is attained and with it, the lessons of Power. The ability to generate abundance that is free to all depends on the ability to balance power with desire. If one desires much and is given what they desire, yet their power issues are out of balance, that abundance is then used for personal gain and does not benefit the whole.

However, when abundance is achieved by one who balances power with desire, that abundance is then used to generate ‘more abundance’ for the common good and the betterment of humanity. Working with the serpents needs courage and dedication. Working with the dragons requires a sound connection to both Sun/heaven and the Earth. When you assist in their awakening, and maintenance, continual creation is assured.

In the time of the ancestors, this ability to work with the serpent energy was well known. Many goddesses, and gods, were portrayed with serpents because they worked with the flows of fertility energy in the land, and within their bodies. They understood the deep connection between their own sacred sexual spirituality and the fertility of the land, and often temple fertility rites involved sexual rituals to both feed the land with this sacred energy, and the people.

The serpent priests/priestesses, trained for many years to become capable of holding and guiding this serpent energy of fertility to bring it to the land, the land that grew the crops which then fed the people. Highly trained men and women ensured the people were fed and the elements were kept in balance. At least in their part of the world.

Serpents, as an expression of fertility, keep the energies of the soil, alive and vibrant. This energy, the soil which is alive with it, maintains the growth of every living thing. It allows the water to keep flowing, the sun to connect to the earth and energetic particles of charged air to feed everything that flies or that reaches to the skies.

There are serpents of water, serpents of land, of the sun, and the serpent of the force of fertility from the Mother herself. Many sacred sites, such as Cathedrals, are built upon great rivers of blue serpent energy, the waters of which are both energetic and physical. Ceremony held at these places feeds the serpent river and this charged water then travels through the land, feeding everything it touches. Water was life and the fertility of the water was of the utmost importance.

Serpents, and their energies have been venerated for millenia. Here are some examples:

Serpents played a significant role in Egyptian mythology. The cobra, known as the “uraeus,” was a symbol of sovereignty, worn on the crowns of pharaohs. But only those pharoahs who had mastered their own emotions and thoughts and undergone initiation could use the serpent energy the uraeus represented. This was the rising of the golden earth serpent energies up the spine and over the head. Once this level of activation had been achieved, the pharoah could then see with the eye of the serpent, meaning he saw with the Will of the Divine mother. His vision was now hers.

Snakes, particularly cobras, are venerated in India. The Nagas (serpent deities) are powerful and protective figures. In Hinduism, the serpent Shesha is seen as the king of all Nagas. Snakes in Hinduism are often associated with the god Shiva, who wears a snake around his neck, symbolizing control over time and death. They are also connected to fertility and the life force.

The serpent was associated with healing in Greek mythology. The god Asclepius, the deity of medicine and healing, was often depicted with a staff entwined by a serpent, a symbol still used in medicine today (the Rod of Asclepius). Serpents were also connected to oracles, such as the Oracle of Delphi, where the Python, a serpent, was said to guard the sacred site before being slain by Apollo. These cobra guardians were the protectors of the feminine oracles so in slaying it, he was laying it bare to his masculine will, his power over the feminine.

In Mesoamerican cultures, particularly the Aztecs, the Feathered Serpent, Kukulkan was a deity associated with the morning star, wind, learning, and the arts. This deity was revered for bringing civilization and was a major figure in religious practices. During the equinoxes, on a site called ‘The Castle’, as the sun moves it creates an optical illusion of a serpent moving down the pyramid. The solar cretive energies being brought to earth to fertilise it.

In Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple, in Luxor, Egypt, descending down either side of the main staircase, are carved undulating serpents that move downwards, taking the light of the sun from the upper world. They end at the body of Horus, the Hawk, Divine intermediary between the deities and man and messenger of the Gods. The energies have to be ‘stepped down’ so they can be utilised by the land and its people.

In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, is a colossal serpent that encircles the world and is destined to battle Thor during Ragnarök, the end of the world. This serpent symbolizes both the cyclic nature of the world and inevitable destruction. InCeltic Symbolism and culture, serpents often symbolized renewal, healing, and the earth’s fertility. The serpent was a potent symbol in Druidic traditions.

In Southeast Asia, particularly in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, the Nagas are serpent beings believed to inhabit the underworld and protect the earth and its waters. Naga offerings are made to ensure protection from natural disasters and to seek blessings for water and fertility.

Among some Native American tribes, the serpent is a powerful figure in creation myths and is associated with the earth and water. The Horned Serpent, for instance, is a significant figure in the mythology of tribes like the Cherokee and the Lakota.

In the Christian tradition, the serpent is most famously associated with the Garden of Eden story, where it tempts Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. This act links the serpent with sin, temptation, and the devil in Christian theology. And yet, prior to this demonisation of women, and their connection to serpent power, the Goddess was the trees and the fruit and the serpent. They were her gifts, her power and she shared them freely.

In Fijian belief, the god Degei is depicted as a serpent. He is considered the creator of the islands and the judge of souls in the afterlife. Degei’s serpentine form symbolizes power, creation, and the duality of life and death.

So you can see how powerful this serpent energy is as an archetype. As an energy, it is equally powerful.

There are two celestial serpents which travel through space and through the Earth, keeping it anchored. The blue serpent energy is female and circles the earth many times before finding an ‘entrance point’. This serpent is usually associated with rain. The original people of Australia speak of the Rainbow Serpent, which enters, and leaves, via waterholes, sacred to them. For hundreds, if not thousands, of years, they have been the custodians of this sacred work.

Both the Blue and Gold Celestial serpents are the energies that come from outside the planet as Sun and Rain, the two physical energies needed for life on Earth. And although they are Celestial energies, they also need to travel through the Planet in order for their energy to permeate the body of the Earth. The Gold and Blue energy lines flow throughout the land, surfacing in certain places and at certain times of the year, then going underground again.

My first introduction to future work with the serpent goddesses was about thirty years ago. A friend and I were doing a meditation to find our Soul names. I listened for mine but was not getting anything, then I heard ‘Astarte’. Astarte, I thought? Isn’t she a goddess? That can’t be my soul name. So, I asked again, frustrated, and again it came back: ‘Astarte’. I obviously was not doing this right, so I gave up and thought I would it some other time. But, unbeknownst to me, I had just received my Goddess-aspect name which would explain why I seemed to do fertility work with sacred sites in the landscape.

Astarte was a Canaanite goddess of fertility but also worhsipped in Egypt where a temple was dedicated to her in Memphis.

In this image, she is holding lotuses in one hand and serpents in the other, and she is standing on a lion, which represents power on earth. The god of fertility, Min, stands at her right hand side, and the pharoah stands to her left.
