Stories:

The Myth of Osiris

When Isis's brother Set murdered Osiris and scattered his body, Isis searched the world, gathering every piece. With her magic and her love, she reassembled him, breathed life into him, and conceived their son Horus. She then hid in the marshes of the Delta, protecting Horus from Set until he was old enough to claim his father's throne. This myth made Isis the ultimate model of loyal wifehood, protective motherhood, and magical power used in service of love and justice.

The Great Magician

Isis desired the supreme power of the sun god Ra. She collected the saliva that dripped from his mouth, mixed it with earth, and shaped a sacred snake that bit him. As Ra writhed in agony, Isis promised to heal him but only if he revealed his secret, true name. By learning this name, Isis gained mastery over all creation, becoming Weret-Hekau, "Great of Magic." This story shows her not just as a healer and protector, but as a seeker of profound wisdom.

🪽| ASET (ISIS)

Mother Aset is known as a very wise sorceress. It is said that she outsmarted Ra himself and earned his name in respect. She carries the key to both light and dark magicks which she used to successfully resurrect her beloved, Ausar (Osiris), from the dead.

Her message to you:

Channeling masculine energy by speaking sternly and direct will only get you so far. Sometimes feminine energy is needed to be gentle, understanding, empathetic, or persuasive. People will respond to the energy you put out.

Allow yourself to be vulnerable by showing different sides of yourself. Show your humanity to form helpful and meaningful connections with others. If people are perceiving you negatively, you may loose access to important opportunities and resources— they won’t want to support you.

Become more adaptable to the person or situation you are involved with for the best results. Tune into an inspirational figure that can help you with this. Be confident when you need to lead but compassionate at the same time, to build up your team.

Her request: read a book.

Aftercare for your reading:

Childlike curiosity—

Imagine you are a small child seeing the world for the first time. What are you seeing or experiencing differently? What grabs your attention? Write down what you notice and appreciate.

Some offerings to Mother Aset (Isis):

Milk, bread, incense, feeding a bird, song, prayer, releasing rituals, improving intuition and divination

—————————————————————

🌷| DEMETER

Demeter is the Goddess of harvest, agriculture, and fertility. She is the mother of Persephone who is married to Hades. While her daughter is in the underworld with her husband, Demeter grieves preventing plants from growing. Once reunited with her daughter, she rejoices allowing the earth to flourish and bring new life.

Her message to you:

I know it’s hard but, you are living in a perpetual state of winter. The opportunity of new life has been waiting for you.

Connections await you. They want to celebrate time with you but, it seems as if you are hiding. Cycles need to complete themselves— after winter comes spring. You have every right to grieve but right now, you are ready and deserving of the beauty and love that is coming to you. Open yourself up for the new, child.

Aftercare for your reading:

🌻| OSHUN

Mother Oshun is the wife of Shango. She is the essence of femininity, love, sensuality, and beauty. Her grace is captivating and alluring. Associated with the river, her waters create life, maintain balance, and provide means for divination. She can be flirtatious, jealous, and vain.

Her message to you:

“All of your needs are met, you can rest.” “The long night is over.”

If you keep looking ahead, striving for the next thing, then happiness will evade you. Because, you will not be happy with what you have, always seeking more. Yes, you deserve what you desire but you are looking in the wrong places.

I am proud of you and all that you’ve done, but please rest, enjoy yourself and your earnings. Life is not a video game where you can skip all the cutscenes and get to the end, you will miss out on everything.

Each new chapter has its own fulfillments. Be present. Your life is lived only by you.

Aftercare for your reading:

See the world outside—

Keep your eyes open and give yourself a break from exhausting screens. Look out the window or somewhere distant. What do you see? Trees dancing in the wind? A butterfly fluttering from flower to flower? Take note of everything and see the amazing details you didn’t notice before.

Some offerings for Mother Oshun:

Sunflowers, sunflower seeds, honey, river water, abstinence from mirrors, performing feminine dances

Prayer to Aset

Aset, The Beautiful Sun, Lady of Joy and Gladness. Fill my heart with your love, make me shine like the radiant sun. Give me comfort in my sorrows; give me strength in my weakness; give me love in the midst of my despair. Wrap your wings around me, Great Mother, and give me the power to rise for a new day.

First Interaction with Auset

The goddess Isis ("Auset") feels very powerful to me. She truly commands her presence and pulls me to her like a powerful magnet. I've only had a few interactions with her since she decided to connect with me and each time, I'm left in jaw dropping awe.

My first time finding out about her was at a metaphysical shop where I walked near a statue of her and I was drawn to it. The force of the pull I felt that caught my attention left me standing in one spot staring at it for several minutes before snapping out of it.

The couple times I've interacted with her since that day have been in lucid dreams and I don't have all the words to describe what it felt like to be in her presence. She's truly amazing and I'm excited to get to know her more.

Part 1: Unveiling the Alchemical Blueprint

6/14/2025 Waning Gibbous 🌖89%

This image is a classic alchemical illustration drawn from the Rosarium Philosophorum, a 16th-century alchemical text associated with the Hermetic and Paracelsian traditions of Western alchemy. Entitled: “Rosarium Philosophorum” (“The Rosary of the Philosophers”) Date: First published in 1550, Frankfurt

In this post, we will examine a striking alchemical diagram that evoked profound parallels to the Kemetic mystery traditions of Ausar (Osiris) and Auset (Isis). This visual encoded a universal mystery: the cyclical process of death, dismemberment, sacred reconstitution, and divine birth. In this separate sacred text, we revisit and refine our insights from that exchange, layering them with mythic resonance, esoteric symbolism, and diasporic remembrance.

Burning of the Phoenix: Echoes of Dismemberment and Restoration, The Symbolic Breakdown

First, let's decipher the meaning behind the objects displayed within the image:

Lets start from the top:

Death with scythe and compass. This represents Chronos/Saturn/Set, god of time, harvest, and death. The initiator of the Nigredo phase (the spiritual dismemberment of Ausar). The compass signals sacred geometry, measurement of soul work.

Raining of Divine Wisdom

Next to the left of Set or Father time with the Scythe, we see Seven droplets symbolizing divine wisdom, alchemical stages or planetary spheres, the seven sacred metals, and the seven holes in the human head. One may easily skip over the hidden shape being formed by the water droplets themselves. Here, we find another cube, or at least a hexagonal structure. Here's the hidden meaning: These drops are often interpreted as essences, distillates, or divine tears and are usually associated with the element of Water (🜄), or the Spiritus Mundi descending. The hexagon is the 2D projection of a cube, the very structure we see grounded at the bottom of the image. It is also the structure of ice, the crystalline form of water. It is the shape of honeycomb, the sacred architecture of nature. The hexagon often associated with the Merkaba which is the spiritual light-body vehicle in many esoteric traditions, made of interlocking tetrahedra (fire + water, spirit + matter). Heavenly water or wisdom crystallizing into divine form are what these water droplets are here to represent. Spirit into salt. Idea into matter. Emotion into structure.This is the descent of Mercury into Form. It is the spiritual wisdom (Sophia in Gnostic Traditions, Auset in the more ancient) into the crystallized cube at the bottom. These droplets form the tears of Auset as she wept Ausar's dismemberment into the sacred 13 pieces where sacred grief becomes medicine [Read Symbolism of the number 13 here]. In solid form (ice) and in structured or “coherent” water, water naturally forms hexagonal lattices due to hydrogen bonding. When water freezes under normal conditions, it forms hexagonal crystals. This is why snowflakes, without exception, have unique 6-fold (hexagonal) symmetry. This geometry maximizes space efficiency and stability. In liquid form, especially near hydrophilic (water-attracting) surfaces like biological tissues or quartz, water clusters into temporary hexagonal rings.This is the basis of “structured water” or “exclusion zone (EZ) water” as discovered by Dr. Gerald Pollack. This geometry maximizes space efficiency and stability. Hexagonal structures are believed to act as information carriers, like liquid crystals. This structure is thought to act as an electrical and vibrational medium, connecting water to memory, intention, and spiritual charge. In metaphysics, water's hexagonal structure is tied to:

Memory (water retains imprint)

Emotional resonance (moon-ruled, water = feeling)

Sacred messages (i.e. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work)

Divine Spark: The ignition of Spirit

With the presence of the fireball, we can infer it to equate to active sulfur or divine spark (the spiritus). Here we see the shape is less static than the shape of the water droplets. Its spiraling and swirling nature mimics the calculated expansion of the Golden Phi Spiral, nature's divine ratio in motion. This flame is the force of transformation, not destruction. It subtly mirrors the kundalini coil, the ouroboric serpent, or even the internal fire of the Philosopher’s Stone. The spiral-like shape suggests motion from lower to higher planes, a kind of ascension or awakening through the fire.

The droplets and fireball echo duality in the opposite expressions found practically everywhere in nature. This image also teaches the correlation between the Feminine principle, water, the moon, and the left brain and the Masculine principle, fire, the sun, and the right brain.

Center: Triangle with Phoenix. Triangle = Fire and spiritual ascension. Sulfur (🜍)= Active male principle, willpower, the soul animating presence, combustion. Phoenix = Putrefaction → Resurrection, Symbol of Ausar reborn, soul purified by fire. Reminiscent of Ausar's rebirth and transformation into Heru. Red Cross beneath = Matter & spirit intersect, echoing Venus or sacred womb. Spiritual transformation through ordeal.

Moon and Sun flanking Mercury (☿) Sol and Luna= The Divine opposites: masculine/feminine, consciousness/subconscious, solar/lunar, light/darkness, giving/receptivity, etc. Mercury(Spirit / Mind) Mediator of opposites, the one who joins as the reconciler-androgynous spirit, the medium of transformation.This is the hieros gamos (sacred marriage) in symbolic form.

Cube on the ground: Represents Prima Materia or the base material. It is the alchemical salt 🜔, the principle of form,The body, the Earth, the vessel of transmutation, earth, matter, and body. The material world. It is fixed, crystalline, and represents the manifested world, the physical vessel, or structure through which spirit and soul move. Groundedness, the material plane ready to be transformed. It is the foundation,the stable platform for the sacred alchemical union above. The cube is geometry made matter,sacred form. It represents the perfection of structure, and symbolically it is often seen as the crystallized divine.

Together the image of sulphur (fire, mars), mercury (air) , and cube (earth) represent the Tria Prima. These three elements combine in the alchemical process of transmutation and rebirth: physically, spiritually, emotionally. Here we can interpret the alchemical symbols through a Kemetic lens to mean Sulphur= Ausar/Heru, Mercury=Tahuti, and Salt= Geb. In another way, we can decipher the relationship between sulphur, mercury, and salt to have relation to the common phrase "Mind ☿ over Matter 🧊" . But this phrase is gravely incomplete and leads those into having trouble actualizing this truth. By examining the Rosarium Philosophorum, we can extract the complete and holistic phrase to mean, "Mind ☿ over Matter 🜔/🧊, but Will 🜍 over all." This shows a deep relational understanding by an infamous occultist who came up with the phrase, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."

Wild Flowers Bloom:

Fertility after transformation. Echoes Auset’s magic: life returning after dismemberment. Also relating to Ausar's known attribute as the Green Neter or the Green Man. The Neter of great harvest, who's death coincides with the flooding of the river Nile and the fertilization of the Nile Valley thereafter. These flowers are code for the fruits of this work that will be granted upon completion.

Although the flowers are not hyperealistic, here's what we can infer seeing as there is 7 of them, 4 on one side and 3 on the other starting from the far left :

1. Nigredo (Blackening) – DEATH OF THE FALSE SELF - Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii)

The Blue Flower is likely resembling Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii), especially in the flattened, wide-petal bloom and soft blue hue. Here, Baby Blue Eyes would symbolize the innocence before the work begins. It can also be interpreted as the emotional clairvoyance needed to enter the alchemical process. Possibly the aspect of the Divine Child or sacred vulnerability that precedes initiation. Baby Blue Eyes acts almost as a threshold keeper to the Work—soft, unassuming, but watching everything. Like the "seer flower" of the whole mandala.

Negredo Stage: Calcination

Planet: Saturn ♄

Metal: Lead (Pb) and Iron (Fe)

Element: Fire

Planet: Mars ♂ and/or Saturn ♄

Spiritual Action: Destruction of ego and pride

Process: Burning down the false personality and illusions of control

Symbolism: Ashes, skulls, flames—what no longer serves is burned away

Modern Inner Work: Shadow work, ego death, confrontation with anger or destructive habits

Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii) Spiritual Correspondences:

Element: Water; Planet: Neptune or Moon (depending on tradition)

Tenderness in divine sight

Innocence of the mystic child

Eyes of the spirit-world Softness as protection

A plant of emotional openness, but also psychic shielding by gentleness

Spiritual Note: Blue flowers often represent the Quest for the nearly impossible, like Blue Lotus).

2. Albedo (Whitening) – PURIFICATION THROUGH SPIRIT - Buttercup (Ranunuculeae)

Based on the positioning of the five petals of the yellow flower to the right of the baby blue eyes could be, I believe it to be Buttercup. If we place Buttercup as part of the flowers of the alchemical process, it would represent recognition of the Inner Light. This is the soul realizing it has a radiant seed within. Not yet action, but awareness of vitality.

Albedo Stage: Dissolution

Element: Water

Planet: Moon ☽

Metal: Silver (Ag)

Spiritual Action: Melting of hardened identity; releasing rigid structures

Process: Ego falls into the subconscious; emotional waters flood

Symbolism: Flood, drowning, dreams, the unconscious

Modern Inner Work: Grief release, letting go, emotional purification

Correspondences: Surrender, innocence, visionary insight, purity of perception.

Associated with spiritual opening and ego disintegration.

Buttercup carries a softening energy, befitting for the breaking down of false identities.

Spiritual Correspondences of Buttercup:

Element: Fire tempered by Water

Energy: Self-worth, perception of one's beauty/power, gentle ignition

Child-like innocence and hidden self esteem

Use in spiritual traditions for truth telling , symbolizing the light one reflects.

Appears in fields humble, but radiant.

This would correspond with the beginning of "Sublimation" or "Calcinatio", where emotional matter is heated gently by inner realization. The fire is still low, not the purification blaze yet, but you are learning to identify the golden parts of yourself.

3. Trillium (Trillium erectum)

According to its three petaled shape and red to pinkish hue, and its stamen, I believe this flower to be the Trillium. Trillium is sacred to both First Nations herbal traditions and European folkloric healing, especially among the Algonquin and Celtic peoples. It is also Known as birthroot or wake-robin. It was used for:

Protecting birthing mothers

Healing feminine wounds

Grounding spiritual initiation in embodied form

Its esoteric meaning could be interpreted as:

Triadic wholeness representing spirit–soul–body, past–present–future, maiden–mother–crone.

Initiation bloom: a signal that the soul is standing at the Threshold of Becoming

Carries the feminine trinity frequency, related to Isis/Auset, Brigid, and in neo-traditions Hekate

It resembles a spiritual doorway ora temple gate between mundane love and consecrated union. Based on its placement as the third flower to the left, Trillium marks the moment where the initiate must move from light flirtation and protection into spiritual discernment and oath-taking. This is where the Work begins. No more games. No more half-hearted offerings. This is the sacred vow point. In magic this flower can be used for:

Spiritual commitment

Soul-oath forming

Bloodline healing (especially of mother-daughter lineage)

Guardian spirit evocation

4. Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea)

Those rounded, lush petals, the radiating symmetry, and the proximity to the cube all point to something ancient and sacred. I believe this flower tk be the one and omly Blue Lotus. This is temple-born. This is sacred depth.

Stage: Conjunction

Divine union, heart-mind-spirit integration, dream wisdom

Notes: Classic alchemical symbol—bridging opposites and invoking spiritual resurrection.

Spiritual Correspondences:

Origin: Nile Valley, Kemet (Ancient Egypt)

Spiritual Awakening – the blue lotus rises from the mud, untouched by it, and opens each day with the sun. A direct metaphor for soul evolution and divine emergence from matter

Symbol of Auset (Isis) – the Netert associated with resurrection magic, sacred scent, erotic wisdom, and ecstatic trance

Bridge of Realms – blue lotus is used in spiritual rites to bridge the conscious with the subconscious, waking with dream, and mortal with divine.

In Kemetic temples, it was used in ritual to induce trance, spiritual travel, and connect to ancestral memory.

Used before initiation, divination, or ritual courtship

Planet: Moon (trance, dream, water) + Venus (beauty, erotic sacredness)

Element: Water; Chakra: Crown + Third Eye

Deities: Auset, Heket, Hathor, Nuit

This flower beside the cube is no accident. The blue lotus represents the soul’s readiness to merge with form; to manifest sacred knowledge into the material world without losing its divine source. The cube being salt (body, earth, crystalized memory) leads one to interpret the blue lotus here as the flowering of divine consciousness through the body. Where the body becomes the living temple. This is the moment in alchemy where the soul doesn’t escape matter, it suffuses it. This stage indicates one is no longer just learning, but is becoming. Anchor spirit into body, vision into breath, trance into truth.

5. Orange Rose (Rosa)

With the fifth flower, I had a bit of trouble determining if it were an orange rose or ranunuculus. Considering the fifth state of the alchemical process being Coniuncto or Hieros Gamos, also called the Sacred Union. This is the stage corresponds with:

Planet: Jupiter

Metal: Tin

Principle: Expansion, vision, wisdom

Alchemical Stage: Fermentation – spirit entering the matter

Meaning: Divine insight, higher mind, “flower of heaven”

Sulfur and Mercury unite through Salt ( or in other words where

Masculine and Feminine polarities are fused (Sol + Luna)

The Soul (represented by the Phoenix) rises from its trial by fire transformed

The cube (Salt) becomes the altar, and the Phoenix is resurrected Sovereignty

The central Mercury glyph (☿) reveals this union of opposites. It’s the stage of alchemical marriage — not courtship, not seduction, but vowed union through transmutation. For this reason, it is associated with the Orange Rose over the Ranunculus. Heres why:

Spiritually, the orange rose symbolizes sacred union, fertility, and passion made holy.

It’s a long-time emblem of Rosicrucian mysteries and the marriage of soul and spirit.

A rose is open, nothing being hidden, representing readiness, vulnerability, and divine integration.

For these reasons, I believe it properly corresponds with the fifth stage of the alchemical process or Coniuncto. When one has emerged from purification (calcination), dissolution (solution), fermentation (death of ego), and coagulation. Now comes integration and embodied love. It resonates with the cube (Salt) as the stabilizing vessel of the divine union.

6. Iris (Iris Germanica)

The petals curve downward, droop like the heavy robes of a priestess or mourning veil. The structure is upright and dignified suggesting maturity and spiritual finality. The deep indigo-blue coloration is typical of Iris flowers, especially the Iris germanica, which was used symbolically in medieval and Renaissance alchemical texts. Named after the goddess Iris, the Greek messenger between gods and mortals, often associated with rainbows this flower becomes a perfect symbol for bridging heaven and earth, soul and matter. Iris is connected with divine messages, transition, and the arrival of clarity at the end of spiritual trial. Often found near water, it maintains a symbolic bridge between purification and revelation. Iris signifies that one has passed through dissolution, death, and resurrection. The Iris represents the return of clarity, but grounded. The mind and heart are no longer in conflict. Spirit is fixed in the vessel of the self. It is the flowering of the soul after surviving fire and water. This phase of the alchemical process corresponds with:

Planet: Mercury

Metal: Quicksilver

Principle: Communication, transformation, fluidity

Alchemical Stage: Distillation

Meaning: Vitality, motion, intellectual spark

7. Snowdrop (Galanthus Nivalis)

During the final stage of the alchemical process, Coagula, the Red King is crowned; the stone is made.This final stage of alchemy represents:

Wholeness, integration, enlightenment

The soul fully incarnate in the body

Spirit and matter united, no longer in tension

The Philosopher’s Stone, truth revealed through life

While deciphering the potential candidate for the flower corresponding with stage 7, I encountered great difficulty. I could not find an exact match as to what the image could be, but based on my information gathered regarding the alchemical process, the appearance of this flower, and its properties, I have settled in the conclusion that the seventh flower could potentially be Snowdrop. Here's why. Based on the fact that snowdrop blooms through snow, it symbolizes resurrection, victory over death, the return of light. The three inner petals + three outer equate to the sacred geometry of the hexad, heaven and earth in harmony. Its drooping posture is reminiscent of humility, surrender, the enlightened soul that bends, not breaks. Its white color being a metaphor for purity, clarity, soul reborn without distortion. Because it is born from frozen ground it mirrors the spirit fully reborn within the body, despite hardship. Its bell shape is related to the call to awaken, divine signal of completion. Delicate but hardy , Integration doesn't require force, just aligned strength. Its Moon-aligned blooming Echoes divine timing and cycles.

Spiritual Correspondences:

Associated with Imbolc / Candlemas, the light returning to the world

Said to have sprung from the tears of Eve after exile from Eden; first mercy in a fallen world, which reminds one of the tears being shed by Auset after the "falling" of Ausar

In Slavic lore, represents death overcome by love and truth

In folk magic, it is a flower of protection and pure-hearted spells

From beneath the ice one rises, A bell of frost that never dies. No fire burns, no storm can break, for one is formed from all they have faced. One bows not in shame, but in grace as a truth made flesh and now a healed place. The stone is found, the work is done. The initiate blooms beneath the winter's sun.
