Nothing stands still - everything is being born, growing, dying. The very instant a thing reaches its height, it begins to decline. The law of rhythm is in constant operation. - The Three Initiates

Law of Rhythm Everything is constantly moving The 5th Hermetic law of the universe is the law of Joy can only be observed in comparison to pain. Heat rhythm. Rhythm animates everything and everything can only be recognized in tandem with cold. In our moves. The pendulum swings back and forth. The chemistry, we are energized with the power of serotonin seasons progress as a result of the rhythmic patterns in the daytime. But at night, our bodies release of the planetary orbits. The day turns to night and melatonin so that we can rest. We are all born as infants back again to day. Everything is in constant, often from our mother’s wombs and we all will grow, and all predictable, movement. of us will one day ascend back into the subtle ethers. Notice rhythm in our bodies. Our hearts constantly When we understand the law of rhythm, we become beat and pump blood. We breathe in air and exhale it more pattern oriented. We start to observe the natural out in the next moments. Our left leg precedes the movement of our universe and instead of resisting life’s right in step. Our teeth move up and down to devour natural changes, we start to handle them with much our food. Even in our minds, there is rhythm. Our more acceptance and grace. It helps us to analyze thoughts constantly churn out more and we manifest human patterns and behaviors. We can use things like the reality. Thoughts, things, thoughts, things. We astrology to understand how the stars, planets, even create our own subconscious rhythms called constellations, months, and seasons affect our habits, the behaviors we offer on autopilot. The temperaments. female body’s menstruation cycle, that may ultimately nurture and birth human life, is a prime example. Study this law for yourself. Think about it affects you and how you affect it. Start looking at the patterns and The Kyballion says that the law of compensation is a cycles that make up your reality. Maybe your habits are principle of the law of rhythm. What we give we out of sync with the life your want. Maybe the cosmic receive. There is a cause and an effect. And to the cycles have answers to your personality make up like degree of strength that the pendulum is pulled, to that why you behave a certain way during the full moon or same degree will it swing in the opposite direction. when your sign is in Mars. Even look at the tarot cards The energy that is exerted is the energy that is because they contain symbolic break downs of common received, to its mirrored frequency. Musical notes are human patterns, situations, and archetypal energies.. another energy pattern. Major, minor and even pentatonic scales follow their own patterns along with their chord sequences and cadences. The beat of a drum plays to a rhythm of variations between sound and silence. It’s all rhythm.

Tarot Decoding The Devil Card I’ve made the decision to not proceed with epsidoes of the Tarot Podcast because I want to go in a different direction as a podcaster. Instead, I will incorporate a tarot article here in The Writer Erin Soul Magazine. This week, it seems that many around the world are in great upheaval. The United States, particularly, is embarking upon the most tense presidential election in my lifetime. Anxieties are high and the threat of war on American soil is a looming fear for many. But for me, I think the spirit workers must use our ability to decode spiritual symbols to understanding what is truly happening and how we can move effectively during this time. The tarot card that I pulled tonight was the Devil Card. The Devil card depicts a Baphomet type entity, a human body with an animal head with horns that represents our base, animalistic, dark side. He is half naked and in many iconographies is represented as a hermaphrodite. Above his head is an upside down pentagram, pentagram often referring to the combination of the masculine and feminine principle, again the hermaphrodite. But the pentagram flipped upside down would represent something going downward or falling. elow the devil are a man and a woman enslaved to each other by chains around their necks and locked onto a central ring. Therefore, if the Devil card represents the falling of something, it’s obvious in the this context that it represents the debasement of the masculine and feminine union. And this doesn’t necessarily refer to a man and a woman. It also refers to the two sexual energies of masculine and feminine within our own individual selves, as all manifested things include both in order to exist.

To most pantheons, the Devil is considered a fallen angel. As a mythology, it represents our fallen spiritual wherewithal. The number of the card is 15. The number 1 is decoded as new beginning, unity, oneness, divinity, and single mindedness. The number 5 is broken down to refer to some sort of disturbance or imbalance, and odd number. But 1 + 5 = 6, which is a number that represents joy, happiness, and a happy home. This means that whatever disturbance there is can always initiate a new, joyful beginning. So if one has fallen into an abyss of unhappiness, disturbance and confusion, you are still able to “break the chains that bind you”. Relating this card to the dramas of today, a happy world and joyful communities are made so by individuals who rise above lower, base, and animalistic urges of unbridled anger and perversions. Both sides of the political spectrum have ideas of what a “Great America” should look like. But to a large degree, these desires are framed from place of anger and rage towards others. The spirit workers are charged to reframe their minds out of their fallen state and rise again. It’s my belief that this is the meaning behind the idea of the rapture; doing the inner work to raise our frequencies above the a mundane, Earth bound paradigms. Remember, we can rise again. We can unbreak the chains of the unconscious human condition. But it’s the individual’s responsibility to do that work. Group think and the political herd mentality won’t achieve this for us. We do our own work. We address our own subconscous realities. We do our own meditations. We make our own decisions to direct our attention towards things that will raise our own frequency so that we radiate powerful vibrations.

ZANZIBAR Vibe Corner Earth Wind and Fire Earth Wind and Fire. Period. Maurice White, the musical genius that formed the legendary band of master teachers, said he used to have visions of what music LOOKED like. From chakras, to the kundalini serpeants, to inner healing, to focused visualization work, EWF taught class. I chose them for this week’s Vibe Corner article because of one of my favorite meditation songs, Zanzibar. Earth Wind and Fire incorporated sacred sound healing modalities into their funk driven orchestration. The depths of the harmonies in the vocal skats sound like what anthropologists describe as early, human language in Africa. Zanzibar is a musical masterpiece that enlivens some sort of cosmic feeling inside of me. I almost feel detached from the matters of the mundane when I listen. The meaning of Zanzibar is “dark skinned people” or “land of dark skinned people”. It comes from Tanzania and the word was was coined during the slave trade of Africans in the Arab world. I imagine it as a connection to the Earth that our African ancestors cultivated. They were the authors of human life and the originators of accessing cosmic and Earthly energies. I allow myself to be engulfed by the instrumentation, which is an uptempo Afro-Jazz fusion. The drums sort of feel like they are beating energy into my heart chakra. I can’t help but feel a sense of love and safety in the strength and unity of the harmonies. My goal is to be very present and in the moment of the music. Usually, this meditation isn’t about manifesting anything but present, innner peace. Check out the song yourself. Close your eyes, push play and journey through your subconscous wherever your higher self leads you.

KEEP YOUR PEACE ON Election Day November 4th is Election Day. When you break down the numerology of the date you get the following: 1+1+4+2+0+2+0=10 and 1+0=1. 1 Represents a divine, new beginning. You can choose to tune into the news and all the chaos of the political divide if you so choose. But for the spiritual empathy, why not use the increased energies and direct them to something more positive. Personally, I intend to do things that will move me forward. Not only will I be studying and creating, I will probably be energizing an altar that incorporates the energies that I want to see in my projection of the world. There is no law that says we have to watch the news on Election Day. And the results won’t change based on where you direct your attention. If you voted, you did what you can do. For me, instead of engaging in the global program and the polarized political party narratives, I would rather put my attention on humor, art, fun, and raising my vibes. As hard as it might be to do, disengage from any negative arguments and other people’s conflict programs around the election results. Keep your attention on love and on the transmission of love from your heart to their’s. And some may say, “Why should I offer love to another who is being hateful?” Because a high frequency doesn’t need to be a follower into the den of confusion. A light being is the example for others to follow. You are the standard. Find reasons to smile and laugh this week. Listen to uplifting, good music. Create something of meaning. Decide to offer forgiveness and release the rage your a projecting into your life experience. Put any anger you have into a positive outlet. And know that this existence is just an illusion, a contrast, to teach us how to redirect our thoughts and manifest more desireable results.
