Chapter 2
Watery Deeps
The woodland path takes you through a deep and
mysterious forest, larger than you first imagined. It is cool and dark, and you
would have been afraid if you had not first met the Magician, but your
confidence is now back, and the crisp sharp snap of dried twigs and the
unfamiliar but fascinating sounds of the strange woodland creatures make a
welcome contrast to the previous sunshine and familiar twittering of hedgerow
birds. Now it’s the hooting of owls and
the quiet scuttling of small woodland creatures that dominate, and a cloak of
mystery begins to wrap itself around you. Or is it the comforting protection of
your guardian angel’s wings? Whatever it is, you feel strangely secure, and yet
you have a distinct feeling that something very unusual is about to happen.
It comes upon you slowly, but you suddenly begin to
recognise the sound of running water, and as it gets increasingly louder you
suddenly spot a sparkling waterfall glistening in the moonlight. It is hidden
deep in a secluded leafy glade, cool and private, strange and secret. It is
simply beautiful, and it fills you with both a wonderful inner calm and a
curiosity to find out more about this secret place and its potential
inhabitants.
As you watch the bright water crashing onto the rocks
below, you see it opening out into a large deep rock pool, and underneath that
glorious waterfall, as if showering, is a shimmering female form. You have
never seen anything quite like her before. Is she a fairy, a wood sprite, a
water nymph, an angel, a real woman or maybe just an illusion? No, this is the High Priestess, she who hides
away from the real world of the conscious mind, secreting herself in the inner
depths of the subconscious and intuitive kingdom, where she patiently waits and
watches. She has so much to teach us if only we can find her and hear what she
has to say.
She says nothing now, but as you watch her you begin to
hear her unspoken words. They are words you will never ever forget, and their
quiet clarity cuts through the darkness and lights up your inner vision like a
blazing flame! This is what she says to you.
‘You can do anything you want, but you must believe in
yourself and work tirelessly towards your goals. Listen to your intuition, note
your dreams and be patient. I see good things ahead for you, but I will not
divulge my secrets to you yet. You have so much unfulfilled potential. Go,
continue on your journey, and all will be revealed when the time is right.’
With that she flies up into the air, twirls round in a
circle, and dives down deep into the rock pool, disappearing into its deep dark
depths. The water shimmers and ripples for a while until nothing remains but
silence and calm water returns.
Such is the hypnotic appeal of this fascinating
creature, that you feel an immediate compulsion to search her out. You strip
out of your clothes without a moment’s thought and dive deep down into the cool
clear water. But the sweet siren has vanished, and nothing remains but the
flicker of a sensation of sweet laughter from a far distance. You begin
reluctantly to swim back towards dry land and the assured warmth of your
clothing.
You are nearly there, when suddenly something or
someone wraps itself around your legs. For a moment you wonder if it is the
High Priestess, but no, you’ve got yourself caught up in a strong whirlpool.
Where on earth did that suddenly come from? The water holds you firm, pulling
you down, down, down, and down. As you descend, you momentarily catch sight of
her, just for a moment, before you are dragged further and further into a
watery spiral, an unexpected passage to yet another amazing place.
Just as you feel you can hold your breath no longer,
the water suddenly swirls you back up towards the surface, and as your head
finally emerges to embrace the sheer pleasure of fresh air, you find yourself
in a deep dimly lit chamber. It’s a cathedral-like cave, and at the very far
end of it you can see a bright light. Your guardian angel goes ahead towards
the light and you follow, swimming slowly and appreciatively toward safety.
Your angel flies through the cave into the welcoming daylight and waits for you
on a golden sandy beach.
