Earth Light

[Lady Dunsany]

Earth Light by R. J. Stewart explores the faery Underworld and the ability to contact and visit this world via Meditations and Visualizations. It is one of the most informative books on Celtic and Faery Lore. The underworld is one that I as an Occultist choose to involve myself with for answers that can not be found in my other workings. I first got into wanting to learn more when I saw my first Fae as a child. Since then I have had the Fae living with me wherever I have resided. At my house I am living in now I have a family of Fae who live in my rock garden. There is much to learn in the Underworld and I feel I have only scratched the Surface. if you are interested in the Fae and how to travel to their Realm Earth light is a good book to start with.

I agree! This is the real deal here. R.J. Stewart was a student of William Gray both authors I do admire for the works that they have given. This is the true Western Tradition!

EARTH LIGHT is the first of three books I recommend reading together, the second being Power Within The Land, and the third one being The UnderWorld Initiation (The underworld was the first written on this subject the series but, I feel it will fill in the gaps of the other two).

[Lady Dunsany]

Thank You. I have both books on my order list for next month. I felt there had to be a continuation to Earth Light. I can not wait to read the next two.

[redhand]

You will enjoy them, I sure do! Power Within the Land will continue from Earth Light and leads the reader (through practical exercises) to the deeper realms of the Underworld, including the Hidden Orders and Temples. And in The Underworld Initiation he provides detailed explanations of the Underworld (and Otherworld) and the design of the realities you'll encounter there. He relates this to the Tree of Life (Kabbalah also a non Kabbalistic Tree of Life is presented), and several other spiritual contexts, so that you can "connect the dots" with your own and others' religious backgrounds.

I actually was able to get through the door and up the stairs but never made it to the room. I am going to reread the book again and worked on my visualization until I make it into the room. Once there I hope to be able to stay for a few minutes. It is a lot of hard work but worth the effort. This is wonderful and will fit in perfectly with all my other studies. It is amazing how this all intertwines with the Path I am on.

[redhand]

You will notice the more that you practice The Rising Light Below ritual the more in tune you will become with the land. So this will make it easier. You can even fit this in to the MP as they work the same centers just different directions.

[Lady Dunsany]

I will. I do the MP three times a week and now that I know I can incorporate it with the Rising Light hopefully it will help me progress faster. Thank You.

Bad results!

I like fairy myths but I don't know much else about them. What makes them worth seeking out?

[redhand]

Well why do people work with the Goetia and Enochian? Knowledge! There is a great deal of knowledge to be learned here as well as power to be gained. Learning magic, herbcraft, psychic abilities, healing and, such.

The Fae and Sidhe (pronounced 'shee') literally means 'people of the (fairy) hills'. Actually working with the Fae is much different than reading 18th and 19th stories about them they are not quite what they are portrayed to be in most of these sources.

The Faery tradition does use rituals and ceremonies, and they are well known in folklore. But they are not similar to the revival pagan/Wiccan idea of ceremonies found in many modern Wicca type books. They are not scripted, and a scripted ritual cannot be, by definition, a Faery ritual. The Faery Tradition is found in certain practices, and not in formal scripts. It is an oral tradition of songs, music, dreams, the Second Sight, tales and customs.

Actually they can be found all around the world and each have very distinct things that they can teach you.

You will find a whole different world when working with the Fae. Do not dismiss them as light weights as their powers is such that even ones who work with Hermetics can not surpass. They can teach us many things.

[Lady Dunsany]

[mallock]

[Harlock]

i wouldnt mind hearing the story do you know a site that might have it?

[mallock]

This is a shortened version, if anyone is interested I can post further information and web sites
once upon a time a farmer from Mobberley, mounted on a milk-white horse, was crossing the Edge on his way to Macclesfield to sell the animal. He had reached a spot known as the Thieves’ Hole, and, as he slowly rode along thinking of the profitable bargain which he hoped to make, was startled by the sudden appearance of an old man, tall and strangely clad in a deep flowing garment. The old man ordered him to stop, told him that he knew the errand upon which the rider was bent, and offered a sum of money for the horse. The farmer, however, refused the offer, not thinking it sufficient. “Go, then, to Macclesfield,” said the old man, “but mark my words, you will not sell the horse. Should you find my words come true, meet me this evening, and I will buy your horse.” The farmer laughed at such a prophecy, and went on his way. To his great surprise, and greater disappointment, nobody would buy, though all admired his beautiful horse. He was, therefore, compelled to return. On approaching the Edge he saw the old man again. Checking his horse’s pace, he began to consider how far it might be prudent to deal with a perfect stranger in so lonely a place. However, while he was considering what to do, the old man commanded him, “Follow me!” Silently the old man led him by the Seven Firs, the Golden Stone, by Stormy Point, and Saddle Boll. Just as the farmer was beginning to think he had gone far enough he fancied that he heard a horse neighing underground. Again he heard it. Stretching forth his arm the old man touched a rock with a wand, and immediately the farmer saw a ponderous pair of iron gates, which, with a sound like thunder, flew open. The horse reared bolt upright, and the terrified farmer fell on his knees praying that his life might be spared. “Fear nothing,” spoke the Wizard, “and behold a sight which no mortal eye has ever looked upon.” They went into the cave. In a long succession of caverns the farmer saw a countless number of men and horses, the latter milk-white, and all fast asleep. In the innermost cavern heaps of treasure were piled up on the ground. From these glittering heaps the old man bade the farmer take the price he desired for his horse, and thus addressed him: “You see these men and horses; the number was not complete. Your horse was wanted to make it complete. Remember these words, there will come a day
When foemen, marshaled in array,
And fiends intestine shall combine
To seal the ruin of our line.
Thrice lost shall England be, thrice won,
’Twixt dawn of day and setting sun;
Then we, the wondrous CAVERNED BAND!
These mailed martyrs for the land,
Shall rush resistless on the foe,
And they the power of Cestrians know;
And thus all-glorious day be won
By royal George great George’s son. ( George was added at a latter date 1808 approx)
Then bootless groans shall travellers hear,
Who pass thy forest, Delamere!
Their dabbled wings shall ravens toss,
Croaking o’er bloodstained Headless Cross.

these men and these horses, awakening from their enchanted slumber, will descend into the plain, decide the fate of a great battle, and save their country.. Go home in safety. Leave your horse with me. No harm will befall you; but henceforward no mortal eye will ever look upon the iron gates. Begone!” The farmer lost no time in obeying. He heard the iron gates close with the same fearful sounds with which they were opened, and made the best of his way to Mobberley.

some associate the story with that of king Arthur and his knights and that the wizard was Merlin, yet there has always
there have always been stories that the golden stone hides a treasure , attempts have been made to move it, spiritual people say that the stone admits a golden aura, yet in 19994 solid gold bronze age axe heads where discovered buried around it
