Merlin’s Tower of the Stars

Merlin’s Observatory: A Meditation

(CM)

Here once again we find ourselves in Merlin’s tower. This time the focus is different and we look not to the stars but to the dragon energy beneath the earth. Here also you begin to explore your own deep ancestral connection with the magic of the land. This is true wherever in the world you come from; there are no boundaries in the otherworld.

…

Close your eyes and enter into silence. Call upon your companion to accompany you and guide your way: this may be an animal, a hero, a deity, an ancestor—someone whom you love and whose companionship you respect.

Before you is the door to Merlin’s observatory, which exists timelessly. You enter and see that it no longer resembles the tower you so recently explored. Now set within the floor are two pools: one is golden with sunlight, the other silver with moonlight. Between them stands Merlin himself before a great mirror, one that you have seen before that is also the lens through which the mage observes the land of Logres, a vigilance that does not cease.

To the left and right of the mirror are doors covered with curtains. You are invited forward to look into the mirror. Walk between the pools…You are no longer fully aware whether you are in a room within a tower or in the land itself. Perhaps you are in both, for around you the land is spread out, its vitality veining the rivers of the land, its power and energy pooling or oscillating in different places. Become aware now of a more subtle perception.

Looking into the mirror, note what in your world is falling asleep now—what qualities, concepts, or patterns within the land need refreshment and renewal?

While you remain in the observatory, your spiritual companion passes through the mirror into the land and brings back a token of these things that need refreshment and renewal. Your companion returns to the observatory and places the token into the moon pool, where it can be refreshed and made new in another cycle.

Look again in the mirror and note what in your world is awakening now—what qualities, concepts, and patterns are beginning to form that need the encouragement of use and practice?

While you remain in the observatory, your spiritual companion passes once more through the mirror into the land and brings back a token of these things that need encouragement and use. Your companion returns to the observatory and places the token into the sun pool, where it can grow in the golden light.

As the tokens are received by the two pools, a change comes upon the observatory. The pools begin to boil and bubble with activity. From each pool arises a dragon: a red dragon and a white. They stretch out their necks towards the doors set on either side of the mirror and call aloud.

Know that the left-hand door leads to the realm of the ancestors: through that door now comes an ancestor.

Know that the right-hand door leads to the realm of the descendants: through that door now comes a descendant.
