“Tantra says that before you make love to a woman or to a man, first pray — because it is going to be a divine meeting of energies. God will surround you. Wherever two lovers are, there is God. Wherever two lovers’ energies are meeting and mingling, there is life, alive, at its best; God surrounds you.” ~Osho

Ana-Suromai is derived from the Greek word meaning ‘to lift the skirt’. Also known as Anasyrma or plural: Anasyrmata; women have been lifting their skirts for centuries to ward off evil & enhance fertility. This symbolic act is also found in mythologies of various cultures all over the world, & specifically in those of ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia, Ireland, Africa, Indonesia & Japan.
It is said that the evil-averting gesture of women individually or collectively exposing their genitalia have the power to shame & defeat an advancing army.The act of revealing publicly the hidden core of womanhood initiates a process of change that operates on a world scale, as well as on an individual level.
“At some point in human history, female genitalia were considered potent enough to be used as the catalyst for bringing the earth and all life back from the brink of destruction”.
It is said that when Persephone was kidnapped into the underworld by Hades, her mother Demetra went into such mourning that life on earth began to wilt & die. It wasn’t until Baubo lifted her skirt & shocked her into laughter that vitality & fertility on earth was restored…Laughter being a key element in healing & resurrecting life.
-Excerpts from & inspired by Catherine Blackledge’s book ‘The Story of V’.
As a Global Culture we are currently going through a Rites of Passage. Confronted with the results of industrialization, corperate power & the intoxicating lie that we are seperate beings living on a systemized treadmill without the ability to change the course.
It is time to wake up as a collective species & recognize our common strengths. To support each other as empathetic beings longing for similiar things. To treat each other, the resources, the animals & earth with respect & gratitude.
The revolution is within….

“Archangel Grimoire is 14.5 inches tall by 10 inches wide, it consists of 320 pages with hand marbled endpapers, it is full bound in veg-tanned virgin calf and coloured with 2 vegetable dyes. The Grimoire it’self represents the Enochian End of Days or the Seven Angels of the Apocalypse who stand in the presence of the Lord.
The first four Archangels are represented by their Seals on the front cover and are empowered by the Latin verse that accompanies them, they are: Michael, the Archangel of the North, Gabriel, the Archangel of the South, Raphael, the Archangel of the West, and Uriel, the Archangel of the East.
The centrepiece is a highly complex pentacle: The Sigilum Dei Aemeth, concealing or revealing the Greatest Name of God. The 7 capital letters indicating the first letters of certain concealed angelic names. Of these 7 names, every letter containing an Angel of brightness; comprehending the 7 inward powers of God, known to none but himself, and sealed within by the ancient words of invocation that are gilt around its edge.”
Incredible handiwork by master bookbinder Paul Tronson.

Phases of Kundalini
Just like everything else in life kundalini cycles thru a specific flow of chemistry. The general periods for a full-on awakening are 2 years priming, 6 month apex, 3 years peak, 5 years recovery, but awakenings come in all shapes and sizes. The peak-apex of a mature awakening is usually around 6 months, the awakening itself is usually around 3 years, then the assimilation phase is perhaps around 5 years. These figures are almost impossible to contrive because everyone has an awakening specific to themselves.
Each stage has its particular sensations, symptoms, emotions and thoughts. Broadly speaking the following outlines the linear process. The kundalini process cycles through these phases again and again, creating a hyperbolic wave of nested cycles.
PRIMING—Two or more years of sexual heating, increased creative drive and muse/PSI—Thyroid, sex hormone activation.INFLUX—Opening, Grace, ecstasy, electrical. Initial Inner-conjunction, Double Helix of energy rising around the spine—Sex with Eros, God’s Lightning Bolt.
SHOCK—Major septic shock from influx nitric oxide spike—contraction, panic, sympathetic/adrenal hyper-activation—White Death.
TRANSMUTATION—Fires, Heart-expansions proper, grounding, gravity warping.
MAIN INNER-CONJUNCTION—Full body orgasmic, massive energy up spine, paralysis—Silver Cord, Achieving Ones Self.
DIE-OFF—Ego inoperable, 3-7 days in bed, feels like body is eating itself, catabolic breakdown—Dark Night, Death prior to Resurrection.
HEART-BRAIN SYNC—Mature link; right orbiofrontal-limbic connection activity and associated heart expansion—Penis on the Brain, brain orgasms.
SUBSTANTIATION—Regrowth, building higher quality tissue, integration, calm, wholeness, anabolic—Spiritual Will.
All these cycles have to do with the mechanisms of biological transmutation, but one can talk about it in terms of cell-life duration, homeostatic coping ability, reserves of resources, physical-mental-emotional blockage and resistance, conduciveness of ones environment and rest-recovery-repair.
The question of the down-cycle’s relationship to the up-cycle is a big one for kundalini and is always fascinating to me. The intensity of the up-cycle is usually equivalent to the intensity of the down. However once we understand the actual neuro-hormonal chemistry better, we should be able to modulate both extremes. This might make kundalini awakenings somewhat more functional and adaptable to everyday life. Conscious navigation of the alchemy will not make awakenings less profound, but with greater knowledge there will be less resistance, secondary defensive coping strategies, story and terror, so the whole process should go more smoothly with less stress and organic damage.
