The Rousing Chimera: 2009

Rousing Chimera Meditation

By Madame X

I awake and there is a tall white domed structure before me. A portal opens. There are others beside me that I recognize. We enter together. The interior is red…walls, carpet and ceiling. There are poppies scattered on the floor. They crunch beneath our footsteps. I inhale their perfume. I approach the lit altar and slowly open my arms elevating them to shoulder height.

Tonight I celebrate The Dreaming’s diverse membership into a single union; I am the Rousing Chimera. I see the Chimera awaken before me. I look into its eyes. Breathe its gaze into my heart.

Tonight I reach deep into myself touching that inner part of me that searches, that Dreams, that becomes connectivity; tonight I connect with those I call my Family of The Dreaming. I see beside me our Family. I feel their energy coursing my body. I breathe in this energy as I feel a deeper connection with every member of our Family.
Tonight I honor and praise the Ancients that have guided us together under one Honor, one Family, and one Dream. I see the Ancients before me. I accept their guidance and mentorship. I breathe their astral touch into my dreams.

Tonight I celebrate those that assist me in my journey with their gifts of support, counsel, energy and blood. I see them behind me now and when they are needed. I appreciate their gifts. I breathe in their giving nature.

Tonight I sacrifice those qualities within myself that have outgrown their usefulness, as I prepare for my continued evolution. I see myself putting these qualities away. I choose alternate paths. I breathe out as push them out and away.

I am renewed, refreshed, satiated, warmed and glowing. I lower my arms and back away from the smoldering altar. The surroundings become dim and slowly blur into the darkness. I am alone as I fall asleep.
