Initiation

Spiritual Testing of Ra and the Lady Isis

When you are being spiritually initiated into the mysteries of light, love and power, there are moments of deep challenge. The key is to find the light within the challenge – the learning, growth or wisdom that can be summoned to turn the challenge into an opportunity for healing. Whilst the scorching heat of Ra seeks to burn through any resistance, the Lady Isis with compassion and cleverness will protect you from burning and instead enable you to be nourished and grow from the light of Ra. Let Isis help you pass the test of intense growth as you thrive with new life.

For advanced aspirants on the path, initiation will occur at various stages. Sometimes your entire life will feel like an initiation, at other times specific areas will be flowing easily whilst others are deeply challenging. This Oracle comes as confirmation that you are not needlessly suffering. If you can find the light within the struggles, tests or challenges that face you now, you will experience breakthrough healing.

It is the almost unbearable solar fire of Ra that can cleanse the Soul of wounds and the love, compassion and intelligence of Isis that can temper the heat of Ra and stop it from burning and drying you out, or else you would be left with nothing but emptiness, anger, bitterness and despair in your heart! These are not meant to be the outcomes of life’s challenges! Rather than losing love and hope through the challenges of life, the Initiate understands all aspects of life are growth opportunities in various states of disguise, waiting to be discovered.

As an Initiate, this Oracle urges you to honor life as a gift and treat any challenge or pressure as a way for you to grow into a brighter and purer light capable of great spiritual service on this planet. That spiritual service includes growing an ability to be able to love freely and beyond limits, to love with courage and faith.

In fact initiation for you now, dear one, is an opening to new levels of power and peace, self-possession and love. There are such sweet fruits waiting for you at the top of the tree you are currently climbing. It may seem as though you are in barren land at times with little hope, nourishment and encouragement, yet your spiritual oasis is not far away! The Lady Isis and the Power of Ra together are helping you grow. Stay focused on the Lady and Her love for you and you shall pass through the desert of Initiation unharmed and deeply transformed.

Ritual of Initiation with Ra and the Lady Isis

Rest quietly in a space where you will not be disturbed and close your eyes.

Become aware of a quiet dark space within your heart that is peaceful and vast. Allow your awareness to travel within until you are aware of a light in the distance, far, far away.

Travel towards that light and become aware of a great Sun, shining so powerfully that if you kept traveling towards it, it would surely incinerate you! Despite the Sun’s intensity, you feel drawn to its light and power, and you sense a Divine Presence within it, ancient and powerful.

Suddenly you feel a sweet coolness, like a breeze fanning over you. You sense the wings of the Lady Isis around you, offering you protection and assistance. Feel Her loving gaze and the protective cool barrier She creates between you and the powerful energy of the great Sun, using Her wings.

She holds out a large sacred golden plate before you, and upon that sacred plate you may place any struggle, question, issue or concern that you are ready to surrender to the Divine Wisdom of the great central Sun, knowing it has the power to consume and destroy any human issue with its great heat and nuclear power.

Using your mind, you easily place any issue, thought, feeling, or concern that you are ready to release now on that sacred plate. Just imagine or intend to let it fire out of your mind onto the plate held by the Lady.

Once you have sent all that you wish to release to the sacred plate, the Lady Isis winks at you, takes the plate in one arm, and then powerfully hurls it, like a great golden discus, right into the belly of the Sun where it is gobbled up and burns effortlessly away. Feel the lightness of your being as this release is completed.

Allow the Lady Isis to guide your awareness back to your body and your heart by feeling Her carrying you, on the breeze of Her Divine wings, until your awareness fully enters in through the crown of your head and sits gently in your heart, and then in your entire body. Hear Her whisper blessings of peace and reassurance to you from deep within.

When you are ready, just open your eyes.

Winged Mother protects me from the Fiercest Light

Shelters me in cool sanctuary of Her wings in flight

Wraps me in safety of Her compassion and peace
