Transference and the Collective Unconscious October 28, 2008

So with the New Moon cycle hovering…guised as Mercury Retrograde with some Mars aspects…, Halloween on Friday, All Souls Day on Saturday, Day of the Dead on Sunday and the Election on Tuesday…the collective unconscious is really revved up.
There are people waking up in the middle of the night for non-hormonal reasons, feelings of dread, sudden bursts of giddiness and crying as well as the normally sound and balanced feeling craby as hell.
Not to mention the world as we know it is going through, what the Druids and those connected to Mother Earth, what is known as Draga searching for The Druid’s Gem or redemption/transformation. Note the info on the sacred snake which symbolically represents transformation and is associated with the Kundalini or sacred fire.
So the confusion and uncomfortable feelings have to do with our collective selves’ demand to evolve. Good Luck with this one…I recommend Meditation and drinking lots of purified water. Everyone else will probably drink themselves into oblivion and sleep through the whole process, later waking to a new world.
The Druid’s Gemby: Tadhg MacCrossan
Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History, mentions the Druids manufacturing an object called the ovum anguinum, or “snake’s egg,” which in Gaulish would have been called ouion natracos. In British and Irish tradition it was known as the snake’s gem, or Druid’s gem. The Druid’s gem was a round bead about one to one and a half inches in diameter, decorated with spirals or swirls. It was sometimes made out of ceramic (in Scotland), sometimes glass (reported in Wales, Scotland and Cornwall) and, as in ancient Gaul, sometimes out of empty whelk egg cases or despined sea urchin shells. According to Pliny, a Gaulish man who was also a Roman citizen wore an ovum anguinum to court for good luck, but lost his case because the Roman magistrate was prejudiced against him for wearing a Celtic charm. The snake which dwells in the Underworld is said to have been the origin of these charms. Mythically, Underworld snakes are always guardians of sacred treasures (such as the salmon in Irish tradition, Fafnir in the Volsunga Saga, and the snake in the garden of Eden). The snake as guardian of an Underworld mystery and/or treasure is a theme which goes back to a source common to both Indo-Europeans and Semites.
