Hello. I have been enjoying an odd silence this season. The list
has been quiet, are others feeling it too?
I had a dream Christmas morning in which I assisted a woman in
a ritual the symbolism of the ritual tools are something I have not
heard of before and looking for something similar on the net has
turned up nothing. Maybe someone here on the list has heard of
something like it.
The dream took place in a wooded area. There was a small
group of naked women in a circle. In the beginning all the women
looked to be the same. Thinking the same. Meditating maybe.
There was one thought between them.
The woman to my left stood, like a shadow I stood too, followed
her step for step, to the center of the circle. One thought still,
but
only the two of us moved. More of the same thought. I did not see
her move, but I felt a prick on my scalp when she plucked a single
strand of hair from my head. For a second I lost the thought. Then
it came back. She lit a flame to a candle. Still the thought. She
placed her finger into the hot candle wax, rolled the wax into a
small ball at the end of the strand of hair. Each time she did this
the ball of wax got a little larger. The candle got shorter and the
ball got bigger. When the candle was nothing but a small puddle
and the flame went out she rolled the remaining wax onto the
ball. Like magic the sun came up at just the instant the flame
went out. I saw that we stood in the center of a circle of women
on the top of a mound of dirt. She held the strand of hair with the
ball of wax out in front of her, between the two of us.
Using it as a pendulum(?)
There was a moment of cold fear maybe anticipation when the
flame went out until the warmth of the sun reached my skin. And
in that instant when I felt the heat the mound of dirt became a
grassy hill and I watched as the green spread across the entire
earth.
I think the only break in the unity of the thought throughout the
dream was mine. Although I did not think of what action I should
take as my part in ritual that was being enacted, the wonder of
the ritual was new to me, I felt like an initiate. I was well
prepared in the motions but was experiencing the magic for the
first time. The others kept their thought without breaking, but
they were tolerant of my momentary lapses. : )
For the life of me I cannot remember what the thought was that
united the women, I think it is easy enough to figure, I went to
my first winter solstice celebration this year after spending two
weeks in the wilderness. Most of the symbolism is to be expected
in my dreams right now.
I am wondering about the practice of making a pendulum from
hair and wax. And what the significance of this might(?) be.
I haven't any experience with pendulums. Not that I have
experience with any of this dream... hmmmm. Still, it is the hair
and wax pendulum that intriques me.
Any educated hunches?
