THE SOLSTICE and THE SACRED MARRIAGE by Colette
 A million suns are ablaze with light, The sea of blue spreads in the sky, The fever of life is stilled, and all stains are washed away; when I sit in the midst of that world.
Hark to the unstruck bells and drums! Take your delight in love! Rains pour down without water, and the rivers are streams of light. One Love it is that pervades the whole world, few there are who know it fully...
How blessed is Kabir, that amidst this great joy he sings with his own vessel. It is the music of the meeting of soul with soul; It is the music of the forgetting of sorrows; It is the music that transcends all coming in and all going forth.
-KABIR Translated by Rabindranath Tagore
Dear , < M "Magic is the willingness to collaborate with EVERYTHING!" exclaimed Caroline Casey on her Visionary Activist radio show yesterday. To tap into this time of high Earth magic, I heard her call to celebrate today's Summer Solstice, and the wedding of Venus and Mars in the sky, symbolically uniting the Feminine and Masculine, and all the seemingly disparate parts of ourselves and our world.
The alchemical quickening of this time is undoubtedly intense for most of us these days, and yet it is also accompanied by a welcome infusion of grace, of incredible, invisible support. "God is not stingy with the unseen," wrote the Sufi mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan. In this profusion of Life energy at the Summer Solstice, may we see and receive the natural, abundant beauty that is always nourishing us, and may we also close our eyes and feel the unseen forces of the Divine, gently guiding our hand.
In my personal life, I am blessed with the magic of new and deepened collaborations. I am filled with joy and enthusiasm as I partner with Sadiq Alam, - mystic soul brother, artist, poet, and tech-shaman - in the creation of a new business: MYSTIC ALCHEMY DESIGN - Illuminating Design for the Visionaries of Our Time:

We will be offering promotional designs and website development to support the work of visionary artists, writers, healers, teachers, and organizations dedicated to planetary service. We are in the midst of developing our website now. In addition to design and web services, we will also feature a Visionary Art Gallery and Database, Video Promotion and Event Production services, a "DIVINE ALCHEMY Bazaar," and more. We have already begun work on several projects even before our website is completed! Please call 888.434.1154 if you would like to know more about our services. I am thrilled to have such an inspiring collaborator in Sadiq, who also posts one of the top blogs in interfaith mysticism: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts. Many exciting offerings to come at MYSTIC ALCHEMY DESIGN!!!
The magic continues on July 27th, 2009, when my beloved partner Raphael Rettner and I will be married near our home in Berkeley, California:

Many artistic, spiritual, social and political visionaries have been inspired by GATEWAYS OF THE DIVINE:
"Colette's magnificent limited edition of GATEWAYS OF THE DIVINE: An Illuminated Manuscript for the Modern Age is
a catalytic portal into the shadow world. During the course of a
decade, Colette underwent her own intense initiation and deep process,
and through this has emerged a work of art that is both compelling and
a powerful transformational tool."
-JEFF HUTNER
Writer and Producer, The Illuminators: Brilliance in Service to Life
"You
have put together an intriguingly unusual book, a visual and literary
maze full of beautiful surprises. Thank you so much for the inclusion
of my work alongside all the riches. I look forward to savoring its
contents for years to come."
-DAVID WHYTE
Poet, Fortune 500 consultant, and bestselling author of The Heart Aroused and Crossing the Unknown Sea
"GATEWAYS OF THE DIVINE is a gem...and sacred ground for exploring places where words cannot go, and where the imaginal world longs to speak to us through images and the voices of the mystics. Thank you, Colette for your commitment, grace, fire, and amazing love..."
