Happy All-Is-Holy Eve!

Where the Mythical and Mystical Meet
Picture
It’s that time of year when the veil grows thin. Mythical creatures are also celebrated during this thin time in movies and in Halloween costumes. Mythical creatures have always held a fascination for me, starting with fiction books as a child: Where the Wild Things Are in elementary school, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in junior high school and The Lord of the Rings trilogy in high school all come to mind as shaping some of that fascination.
 
But what most people have assumed—that mythical creatures are invented creatures of the imagination for fiction and religious stories, I have come to know is not true.
 
After my third eye opened during the My Karma Ran Over My Dogma saga, one of the things that became apparent is that mythical creatures are real in the energy realms: fairies, gnomes, dragons, merpeople, etc. Sometimes I see them as simply representative metaphors of physical or energetic realities, but more often than not they represent their own realities. My observation is that these mythical creatures usually represent a bridge between realms or dimensions or levels of consciousness—whatever you want to call it.


For example, fairies are depicted and in fact look like winged small humans: half-insect, half-human. Thus, they are a bridge between insect consciousness and human consciousness. They live among the flowers and greenery just like insects do. 

When I have connected with the Salish Sea (the Puget Sound) to do healing work, a mermaid always shows up: half-fish, half-human—the bridge between the water worlds and the human worlds. ​

Gnomes seem to be part burrowing creature, part human. And just like in this picture, I have see them scavenging for mushrooms.
Picture
When I worked with the elements in a Reiki class as a student, I could see dragons working directly on my DNA. Are dragons a middle realm between the building blocks of life (elements in DNA and humans)? Apparently,I'm not the only one that thinks so. 
Picture
The more we shift into higher levels of consciousness and get more in touch with Oneness consciousness, we will all experience more of these intermediary beings. However, rather than connecting with them in a superstitious way as humanity has  in the past, we will connect with them intentionally for helping to heal all the levels of manifested Divine reality. 
 
What mythical creatures fascinate you? Do a meditation with these beings and see what they have to offer and teach you. 
 
Happy All Hallow’s Eve! or literally, Happy All-is-Holy Eve!
