The Brigit Flame. Part Five. St Mary’s Church, Crawley, Hampshire.

February 23, 2023September 10, 2023 / Ann Murphy / 6 Comments

St Mary’s Church is a lovely village church, set back from the main street in Crawley. I had decided to drive through the top of the village, rather than the bottom like I normally do, on impulse. The village pond is at the bottom of this village and I like to see the ducks and coots sitting on the grass beside it or trying to walk across the frozen surface during cold spells.

This time, As I drove past, I had no intention of stopping. I had not received any energetic information about doing this church, no energy-connections or visual information to tell me I needed to do anything here, yet I spontaneously decided to stop. Sometimes, when that happens, it is as if another part of me wants my personality part to explore something. I usually have to give in because if I don’t, it tugs at me for days afterwards.

I parked up and walked the path through the very pretty graveyard. Inside, the church was freezing. I imagine it is too expensive to heat an empty church so they leave the heating off until they hold services.

As usual, I went straight to the Altar but felt nothing. Nada, zilch, not a glimmer. What was I doing here, then, I wondered. Why did I stop instead of simply driving past? I checked the time on my phone and discovered I had forgotten my reading glasses. Damn! Then I thought that I really shouldn’t be so negative. The feelings of irritation would not help me to pick anything up.

Because I could feel nothing there, I decided to look at the structure of the building. Energetically, nothing was happening in this part of the church. It also felt like there was no energy here at all but I could not understand why there wasn’t. I looked behind me and noticed the fragments of Norman dogtooth pattern on the masonry of the arch. I felt like I was looking at the external wall of the building and that this part with the altar was added on years after the Norman building. There were two very distinct energy regions going on.

I walked into, what I felt, was the original part of the building and when I stood looking at the altar from there, I heard someone say ‘Go back a little further’. So I took a few steps back and when I did, saw a bright Brigit flame ignite on the ground in front of me. I continued to watch it as it grew until it had expanded as much as it was going to expand.

Next, I saw myself place a green and white crown of hawthorn blossoms at its base. This is the energy of the ancient Feminine Spring rituals that we had been given the gift of experiencing a couple of years ago at the Bronze Age burial mounds on Magdalene Down, on the other side of Winchester.

Once this had been anchored at the flame’s base, I saw a gold bejewelled crown being placed above the flame. This felt like a more Christian, Godly symbol, where the hawthorn was distinctly ‘pagan’ as if the two belief systems were being joined.

I had ‘brought in’ energy the previous day while cooking my father’s evening meal. Often, when doing something very unconnected with energy, I feel the energy coming in, activating in my body. When this happens, I feel the urge to raise my arms into the air to receive something or to bring down energy for some future work. In this instance, I was given a gold crown with jewels on it. It was big when it was above my head but as it moved over me it became smaller until it eventually fit snuggly around my waist. At the time I did not know what it was for, or why it was around my body, like a girdle (remember those?), but I soon forgot about it and got on with the cooking.

Now, however, I watched as the crown moved down to contain the uppermost part of the flame, just like the girdle. I have done this with flames before, but not with a crown. Usually, the containing energy looks like a wedding band, containing the energy of a flame and holding it at a constant frequency. It doesn’t matter how big the flame is, the gold band will hold its upper part so that the flame curves out over it.

The final part of this activation was the image of a priest swinging a thurible of incense over the area, allowing the smoke to waft over the bright orange flame. This dedicates and sanctifies the flame, blessing it. This image of a catholic priest blessing a Brigit Flame felt like an acceptance of some older, pre-Christian energies.

The energy of the Brigit Flame is a very different energy from the Magdalene Flame. It is a more earthy, creative vibration, whereas the Magdalene Flame is of a higher heart/thought vibration. The Brigit Flame relates to the Tan Tien in the human body, the creative centre behind the navel; the Magdalene Flame is a heart energy but from a higher spiritual level in the energy body. It allows access to higher levels of Soul information and intention.

There are seven energy layers in the earth’s energy body just as our energy-body has seven layers. The first level is the fiery lava beneath the earth’s mantle; the second level is water as it runs below the surface of the earth; the third level is the surface. These three levels make up the creative layers of the physical world. But above these three physical levels the energy changes. It is no longer physical. The layer immediately above the earth is a magenta, ruby layer, relating to the Mother consciousness. Certain sites are created to connect to this layer and we can create energy tubes to channel this living, rosy energy onto the physical plane. The MF (Magdalene Flame) is the aspect of the Mother that heals the wounded male energies and as such, it is an archetypal energy.

There are similarities between how older, prehistoric sites, and later sites, are set up to channel and hold both the energies of the Brigit Flame and the Ruby (the Magdalene flame is an archetypal energy of the Ruby/Mother energy). The BF is often in the centre of a circular site, where people would have been living, but the MF is usually at a gateway point some distance from the site centre but from where it can feed the entire area, adding the love of the Divine Mother. The creative energies of the MF positively influence the more physical creations manifested by the BF. In the past, before Christianity, the MF would have been known by another name, but we no longer know what that is. Perhaps it was simply Mother.

I was reminded of the manifesting energies of this work when I had finished the flame-work and had headed over to the Norman baptism font. I took a couple of photos and then something on the floor caught my eye.

A pair of glasses. Laughing at myself for forgetting the principles of manifesting, I picked them up and put them on. I didn’t believe for one minute that they would be perfect. But they were, and I could write down all I had done so I wouldn’t forget it. It is easy not to remember important details later. They fade away like the mist.

I left them on the font before I left. Someone else might have forgotten theirs, or the owner might come back to claim them.

Thank you, St Mary’s, for the timely lesson around the manifesting energies of the Brigit Flame – and the perfect vision.

Reconciling Realities.

I have always struggled with the idea of how Gods and Goddesses fit into the framework of our Soul reality, the Source, Life between Lives, etc. For instance, I know that Gods and Goddesses are constructs, a way of us to personalise certain forces, forces that make up our created world. But when I started doing the Gaia Method, I found that aspects of those Gods/Goddesses were being anchored in the people receiving the attunement, and often I would ‘be’ a Goddess, energetically, like a channel for her, while she passed the attunement.

Trying to understand this intellectually was a problem. I’m not a believer, or follower, of Gods/Goddesses. I don’t believe in altars and rituals, although I have no issue with people who do. I was brought up as a Catholic, so for me at least, Jesus and Mary were IT! We didn’t do Gods and Goddesses. I didn’t even know that they existed. We had saints, which of course are the same thing! I know that now!

I also do not ‘worship’ deities. I learned that lesson early, while in the Hare Krsna’s during my teens. Physical idols were just that, physical idols, not Gods. Although, again, I understand that they provide a focus for people to connect to a particular energy.

However, while working with these Goddesses I can feel their ‘personality essence’ and how they work in our lives. They contain a history of all the ways in which we honoured them in the past. But I still had trouble rationalising them. Working with them is like working with pages of the past, in the present, and they feel like real people to me, but with a knowledge and way of acting that is not mine.

Then I found more Seth material on this subject and I suddenly felt ‘aaahhhh’. Here is what he says:

“I am trying to tell you that if you look inward, and study your own sacredness and creativity and blessedness, and joy and power, as closely as you study the sacred books of the gods, then you would realize that all those books of the gods were based upon the great reality of the individual, the individual soul, and therefore based upon your own reality.

Do yourselves just honor, and in doing yourselves that honor, you will see within yourself, the ‘gods-in-becoming’ that you are.

Now the idea of the gods has been set up before you, by yourselves as ideals for you to follow – projected outward from your own souls into physical reality as guides for you to follow – that you yourselves have set up. And so they have followed the thesis and the times and the historical context of their mortal birth.

But behind and within those myths are the realities of your being – the Christ and the Buddha are both within you, for they are symbols of what you are. Pray to them and you pray to the hidden gods within you. You do not need to kick them aside like a child irritated with his toys!

Understand the nature of the gods as they come down to you, through your histories, and in them always you will find the unspoken but real nature of the hidden god within each of you.

All That Is is beyond your intellectual ideas of personhood. Any concepts you use to personify that idea can be useful. But only in seeing beyond them can you release the power, and the energy, and to some extent, the knowledge of what you are, and only through understanding that, can you hope to have any idea of All That Is. For All That Is materializes through your flesh and being.”

That made total sense to me, especially as the Gaia Method is about anchoring aspects of Feminine Divinity and manifesting those qualities and energies in the world. It is about re-learning the way we trained in past times, so that the energies of the Goddess, which have been lost in us, is found again. We are re-birthing these awarenesses into this world.

As they move through us, we acknowledge them as part of us, and we live that reality in our everyday world. The world of feminine power and wisdom. We are the Goddesses, incarnated in the world, to bring back the awareness of her love and kindness, wisdom and power to a very ailing world. But we are human beings living in a physical world, so that Divinity is acted on in our reality. We manifest her wisdom through our bodies and our actions. That doesn’t mean we run around acting like a princess, it means learning to channel that part of ourselves, when it is required, into our art, our lives, our writing and our Being; into our relationships, with each other and with the natural world. We move, quietly through the world of humanity, bringing our gifts and sharing our knowledge.

We don’t ‘smite’, as much as we might want to sometimes! We have lived a long time, not knowing this part of ourselves, and getting to know it again, and to channel it again, is going to take time. But there are many great teachers out there who are here to help us do just that. So we are indeed blessed. And remember too, that we are not seeking perfection either, We are seeking to do our best and to Be Divine Humans. We have plenty of room to grow. And one day, hopefully, our world will be populated with the Gods and Goddesses again…US! It is time to reconnect.

The Madonna-Light Mantle Attunement.

February 5, 2014September 16, 2025 / Ann Murphy / 1 Comment

The Madonna Mantle is a frequency of light, anchored into the auric field, which my guides describe as:

“A frequency of light designed to quench the thirst of all those who seek replenishment. It is an energy frequency of the ‘higher nature’ and brings knowledge, as well as reassurance, to the indwelling Soul.

Many times, when the Soul is seeking knowledge, knowing it’s path is that of ‘Seeker’, it may feel anxiety building in the personality. The Madonna Light helps to reassure. It helps the personality to feel excited about the new path opening up before it and it helps the Soul to influence the personality in a calm, directed way. In this way, no splits occur and both soul and personality move forward as One. This energy looks like a soft lilac-blue mantle, a soft caressing mantle of the Mother. It surrounds the energy body, protecting it from outside influences which could lead it astray and therefore add to its anxiety.

Although it is of a high frequency, when placed within the energy field, it slows the molecules down, calming their ‘excited’ state. In this way, the fused personality can ‘slough off’ any unnecessary beliefs. Beliefs which are no longer a part of its pathway.”

During my more intense phase of development, in the first ten years of my healer training, I experienced this anxiety many times. When I knew it was time for me to energetically expand, I became nervous before receiving another attunement. I knew that the expansion of my energy-field meant that I would have to let go of something I was attached to. I can remember while in a long term relationship which was more domestic abuse than loving, and during which I was healing rather intensely, I worried so much before the actual attunement because I KNEW it would affect the way I felt about it. That it would uncover things I did not want to face and that which, once seen, could not be ignored. I’d then have to make changes I was scared to make. And yet, I also knew that doing the attunement was the right thing to do. That the healing was a necessary part of the path.

So, I went through it, because the expansion and ensuing healing was more important than the loss that it might create. When those changes happened, they were not as bad as I thought they would be, because I was ready for them. The expansion of energy led to growth that made me ready. My fears were no longer an issue and I found it easier to let go of the things and relationships that I no longer needed. As my guides said: “When love is your guide, there is no room for fear”.

I received this mantle while I was holding my weekly Reiki group and I had popped into the kitchen to make some drinks for the break. My guides came in and placed this mantle around my shoulders and then told me what it was. I quickly grabbed a pen and paper and transcribed the words that came into my head. The timing was perfect, because I was about to embark on a journey, (I did not now it then) that would challenge me on every level. It was a godsend. Really.

The next few years were so challenging that I very nearly gave up, but I stayed the course, and now am glad I did. I’m not sure though, that if I had not been given the cloak, or mantle, that I would have. It challenged core beliefs about men that stemmed both from this life and a previous life I was trying to work through. Again trauma connected to men. I was being challenged to see how men can also be wounded, and how their wounding has equally negative outcomes for them and for those around them. It took a long time, and there are probably dark corners lurking there still, but I get it now.

Once you have the cloak installed in your auric field, it will activate when it needs to. You may need its reassurance a few times in your life as you seek to overcome long-standing issues and soul challenges. You will know you need it when it comes into your consciousness and/or you feel it, or see it around it around your shoulders. Once your soul has become used to challenges of this nature the mantle will simply do its work without you needing to know it is activating. At this point your personality knows the road and can do without its help. But it is always there, adding that layer of support and reassurance.

You might also find yourself using the mantle while doing Planetary fieldwork. This happens when a site needs to be rested, or laid to rest. You will see, or feel, the cloak spread out on the ground of a sacred site, usually in the ruins of an old Cathedral/temple, abbey, etc. I have also used it on the West Bank of Luxor (Qurna) in my home. When it happened, it was a surprise, but when I thought about it, it made sense because we were dealing with many personal ‘wills’, all of which needed to be moving in the same direction without too much resistance! The changes that were coming to the home, where more than twenty people lived, needed the support of the Mother.

Sidenote: Although it is called the Madonna-Light Mantle, it is not necessarily related to ‘Mary’. It is more symbolic of the mother’s love when you are attempting to move into unfamiliar waters and need some reassurance and support.

This is what the Madonna Light gives you, the guidance of love.
