White Resonant
Wizard
On the Second Day
Of a New Owl Moon
Jaguar Wizard dances
–
Leaps and prances
With wild Abandon
S/he crosses into
Other Realms
On a Spirit Horse -
Bringing big Medicine –
Bringing big Medicine –
Plant elixirs
To heal the Sick-
To Bless and name
Each newborn Child –
To render Prophecy
Bestow Remedies
Upon unbalanced Bodies
And devastated Souls.

Kin 254: White Resonant Wizard
Channel in order to enchant
Inspiring receptivity
I seal the output of timelessness
With the resonant tone of attunement
I am guided by the power of death.
As a layer of cosmic intelligence, the aesthetic dimension employs humans as mediums in order to evolve consciousness to ever-higher levels.*
