Mistress of the Orb in the days of Soloman the king. The soul of man. A strong psychic energy ruled by the moon. A bridge of the conscious and unconscious, the known and unknown. A fully integrated state of being representing the connection between the divine spark and pure essence. Wisdom to connect the inner voice and intuition that is reflection itself. A bridge between the spirit and the everyday mundane real world. Transmitting intuitive and instructional messages to the consciousness; in order to take wise action on them. Weaponizing the shadow aspect of oneself or another’s.
Quite different than the definition by Reddit “A Witch has her own power and can choose how to use it and to what ends. While a priestess derives their power from their god and thus can not stray from the goals of their god.”This definition is limiting and far from the actuality of such a being. Be ye of any gender who practices these arts they have their own power, some do not recognize or hone it. They can choose how to use it and to what ends. That is what the high priestess does as a guide, teacher and is more akin to the Banshee image. Murshidah was the name given to the “witch of En-Dor” a better name is the mistress of the Orb. Inspiring, guiding as the name Murshidah means guide, teacher, feminine form of Murshid (Arabic) “one who guides others to their right path” The high priestess card of Rider Waite Smith deck.
The Shekinah feminine indwelling presence of what is called divine. All Lunar priestesses past and present are representations, symbolic of the feminine aspect of god. She is not limited, has no weakness if one calls empathy, compassion a weakness. It can be and lead to burn out and being manipulated by others but this is the mistress of the orb not some cowering, brain beaten, damsel in distress.
God here is a G- generating. O-organizing. D-destroying state of being held in balance in this tarot card archetype. The energy such a one reciprocates with is what Sufi call the Ma’rifa or luminous darkness. The Barbelo of Gnostics. Untapped potential that one can access this deep knowledge ( in the soul oft equates to body), accept in it’s duality as shadow. Be embraced by it and it as the Sufi mystic says be embraced by the beloved and doing so by Ma’rifa the solution becomes apparent.
This is the energy of the card that helps one see through illusions due to the moon (it does not get it’s drive from it’s god called the Sun as is commonplace belief in reference to Reddits definition of witch and priestess. Priestess who follow the tainted religious paradigm of churches who use terms that they do not understand but perpetuate.) in particular aspects carries different energies and navigate the physical world.
A woman who practices sorcery is a sorceress, mage who listens to intuition rather than prioritizing intellect and conscious mind. This is within oneself. As for mind it is not limited to the 3D perspective of brain. It is a dynamic interplay of energies of the brain and many body systems. She is the active voice of the magician and the magician is an alchemist. Strong willed, ability to manifest, create, determination, focus as in single pointed awareness. Restrained, limited from creative expression and manipulated she can become like the reverse qualities of the card A Banshee regardless of gender. The Banshee has been described with some of these exoteric attributes. They do coincide with the orbital workings of the moon cycles. Wisdom lies between extremes endings and beginnings, light and dark. The Degaz rune can assist you.
There are many versions of the Tarot deck and it has a very interesting history and her story. In reference to the Rider Waite Smith deck imagery the mistress of Orbs sits with a Torah on her lap, clothed in a pale blue cloak with water, moon symbols, pomegranates (Love) in the vignette, portal or Noos. A doorway to something beyond the surface imagery. There are two twin pillars but not all twins are exactly the same in detail. Boaz is north and on the left symbolizes unity resulting from love, literally it means in him is strength and alludes to the relationship of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz in the Bible story and their uniting of their tribes. Joachim on the right side meaning to set upright as reference to the tearing down of the Asherah poles when King Josiah boy king age 8, tried to eradicate the predominating system among the people. Stream lining the peoples belief in one god, one king, one religion. He was of course “guided” by his fathers former right hand man. It was about this time that all reference to the feminine aspects where removed, destroyed and the God of the Israelite became YHWH now known as the devil and scriptures were rewritten from this perspective.
Asherah and the sky warriors part of the Elohim (plural) the powerful ones, assisted the terra firming of an earth in chaos, long before their time and these characters written as energies were tropes for a more ancient story of paleo contact not a literary god as is Bibles.
The twin pillars 35 feet tall stood outside the entrance of first temple of Soloman, in Jerusalem, the soul of man. Soul oft equates to body. A reminder that “god” would establish the kingdom and give it strength. This is more than literal, covered in ancient and modern trappings this on extrapolation was alluding to the Asherah, sky warriors, that G.O.D. Their return, the Shekinah. Elohim some where not beneficial, like YHWH and there are extant manuscripts within which that force, he was not well favoured by the people, male or female. and the establishment of what was being eroded by the present patriarchal governance of their lands established by matriarchy. It also a reminder of a time when the Worker race were engineered by the Anunnaki with 2 stranded DNA just enough capacity to reproduce again not all of them were beneficial to the soul of man that the female beings had created and required protection, nurturing and love. Tales are told of the first man and woman and that Bible story is not more of a hybrid Egregore between a thought form and construct, a trope. There was a war for the soul of man. The victors wrote history and is now commonplace knowledge construed as facts of history condoned by many religious fractions. (See JOHATSU night movers)
The pillars marked the threshold between the profane external and sacred inner sanctuary. These pillars were not built to support a roof but in the Brain-body dynamic the twin pillars are equated to the vagus nerve and the support they give to the body- brain complex mechanism. Liquid semi conducting light Electro magnetic circuitry, hormonal systems, stem cell genius, DNA. The Body is composed of many dynamic systems. There is a central pillar, the pillar of light partly generated by the internal Merkabah structure.
The vagus nerve innervates the entire body it is called the wanderer and the mystery monitor in the Urantia book published 1955. The vagus nerve is a long meandering silent river. A winding path from departure to arrival gracing the beloved heart and supporting organs. Meandering under junctions of highways, collaborators of networks. It monitors constantly, works perfectly and is in conversation with the mind’s hub, exchanging conversations, receiving information, sifting, sorting, at a vibration peculiar to it’s self like a humming, singing alpha waves that envelop, embrace one with loving relaxation and peace.
The nerve travels down the right and left side of the body from the head to the toes becoming the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. Part of the perpetual lamp of the hermetic, a system that produces the god seed or golden oil, god consciousness known by different terms to all cultures even the esoteric, secret teachings of the church, global indigenous narratives. It is the soul of man that is what manifest means at 3D word level. The cherubim and Seraphim guarded the tree of life. Another name for the vagus nerve. A pillar of cloud by day fire by night. The Degaz rune light: dark. The two trees have different functions.
When asked what people of ancient Israel looked like from many sources. The consensus of data related it to skin colour and the Boxwood tree a poisonous to animals, hardy, resilient tree with leathery leaves. Due to winter injury disorder when the tree or shrub is stressed turns a creamy, yellowish, reddish brown, bronze to grey colour. They adapt to sun, shade, dry or moist, acidic alkali soil. A wood that is re known to hold crisp fine details. Favoured carvers of wood. As is the Cedar tree.
The Cedars of Lebanon, the Cedar in Hebrew means to be firm.
