passed it! We were there and experienced the very place where all of this began-incredible good fortune!!!!! 

The key information that arose for me from the day in Glastonbury was the realization that the Dove in the landscape had a communion wafer in its beak. This represents "transubstantiation" which is raising the vibration of the wafer to the level of Christ Consciousness which you then consume to support you on your alchemical journey.

Following our Libra experience working with the scales last year, Zia had discerned the Dove and the wafer in the Victoria landscape. This lead us to a grove of standing stones and trees on the north side of Marigold Elementary School which is the extreme corner of the wafer. We opened space there with the clear intention to receive the transubstantiation, raising our personal and collective vibration to the Christ Consciousness level.

We then traveled to Swan Lake where we had decided to enter into a silent reflective walk all the way around the lake tuning into the deep waters of the lake, letting go of any and all issues still impacting us in our lives. The energies of Libra throw us into this challenge by reflecting back to us, "The Other". The other represents anything outside of us which we have a personal relationship with, reflecting back to us what we need to balance. In our personal relationships, we find people who are seemingly perfectly aligned with us and resonating on the same frequency, while others create a sense of discord and imbalance. Our job in Libra is to realize that everything outside of us is a projection of what is inside of us and each person is an external gift to help show us where we are healthy inside and where we still need healing. We carried a stone with us to release into it all that we are done with, blowing our cares away into it.  

We then enjoyed a sharing of our experiences and had a discussion about Libra energy and the human requirements to step through the Libra reflecting mirror into harmony and balance. Our Libra dove and scales in the landscape create the perfect mirror of the feminine and masculine. Our feminine symbol is the Swan, reflected in the still calm waters of Swan Lake. We gathered on a platform out on the lake. The platform was in the shape of an eight pointed star which represents the sacred feminine through abundance and limitless potential. The rock which we had carried around the lake and placed all of the heaviness, blockages and limiting beliefs which hold us back on this human journey was now tossed into the still depths of the lake. Having pitched our rocks into the lake, Zia presented us with an emerald green feather to carry from the concave waters of the feminine lake up to the convex masculine energies of Christmas Hill.

Ernie had uploaded a lot of energy and information during our pilgrimage through France and England and he had returned supercharged with this vibrant, conscious energy. He was seeking a way to embed and anchor this energy back into our home landscape. He had walked Swan Lake with a magnificently created wand and crystal point, going back to his initial awakening at the time of Harmonic Convergence in 1987. He breathed into this wand all that he had accumulated on the journey and ceremonially threw the wand into the depths of Swan Lake to resonate out through the waters and our entire landscape activating these powerful vibrations of intelligence.

Before ascending Christmas Hill, we first needed to cross the rainbow bridge and remarkably the bridge over Mackenzie Avenue, the axis of the dove and scales in our zodiac, took us from Rainbow Park to Rainbow Street-no doubt about what we were doing! The bridge created the midpoint to our figure of eight walk, spiraling over the traffic and the people going about their daily business, once again reminding us of our elevated journey into higher consciousness, breaking down all limiting beliefs and reaching for the stars. The harmonic balance of Libra includes both the horizontal of masculine and feminine as well as the vertical balance of as above, so below- matter and spirit.

Christmas Hill is another one of those sacred sites associated with a First Nation's legend. A young baby was picked up from the Inner Harbor from what is now the Legislative Lawn, by a massive black Raven. It was Christmas Eve and the native people and early settlers set out from downtown Victoria to find the baby. They made their way north through swamp land, eventually ascending the slopes of a hill, without finding the child. Early the next morning after dawn, the baby was heard making playful noises, safe and sound atop our mystery hill which, because the baby was found on Christmas morning, became known as Christmas Hill.

Overlooking the magnificent lanscape towards downtown we joined in a meditation on the Hill and we released our feather off the top into the air element, representative of Libra. Our task was not complete, however, as we now needed to take the energies of the feminine and masculine together back to the hub of the zodiac for the alchemical marriage.

For the early Chinese settlers, Christmas Hill was the ideal feng shui location in the whole of Victoria. The gentle south facing slope flowing down to the ocean was the perfect spot. They purchased a piece of land to build their cemetery to the elders and ancestors but were prevented from completing this task by the British settlers. Not surprisingly, perhaps then, that the settlers established their 

Sacred Heart Catholic Church adjacent to the Chinese land on the ideal slopes of Christmas Hill! 

Following last year
's ceremony, this time, we felt a very different energy at the Church and were delighted to see this beautiful pink rainbow spectrum of light show up on a photograph at the cross outside the church.

During our journey in France and England we had performed ceremonies to activate the hubs of the landscape zodiacs in Rennes Le Chateau and Glastonbury with a beautiful alchemical marriage in Parkwood the heart of the Glastonbury Zodiac. We were now ready to include our own hub at Camrose Park in the process. We had all of the ingredients necessary to concoct the Philosopher's Stone from the Philosophical Gold in Leo, Philosophical Mercury in Virgo, and now the alchemical marriage in Libra between the two. We had already begun this process on the first day of Libra while at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and this mixture was really bubbling away. Also our Cinnabar orb had been engaged in every single ceremony that we performed on our trip and had been exposed to the energies and sacred healing waters of all of the sacred sites. It is itself transforming, living and producing seeds of Gold!  Having completed the alchemical marriage, we now move into Scorpio and let the real magic begin!
