Yellow Overtone Star
My Soul is a Fire
Hot and wild
My Soul is a River
Like the River Nile
Indifferent to Propriety
Full of Splendor and Story
He flies through the Night
From Hippocrene* on Helicon**
My Genius –
My Pegasus***
My winged Light.
*Hippocrene (Fountain of the
Horse): A spring created when Pegasus
kicked Mount Helicon, sacred to the Muses (goddesses of artistic expression);
regarded as the living water of the soul as well as the source of poetic
inspiration.
**Helicon: A mountain in central Greece; regarded by the
ancients as the abode of Apollo and the Muses.
***Pegasus: The winged steed that sprang from the
decapitated body of Medusa; symbolic of flights of creative imagination.

Kin 148: Yellow Overtone Star
I empower in order to beautify
Commanding art
I seal the store of elegance
With the overtone tone of radiance
I am guided by the power of intelligence
I am a galactic activation portal
Enter me.
Parallel universes are entered through imaginal doorways.*
