Amun-Ra

Solar Energies

Transfiguration/Alchemical Gold

Amun-Ra brings together the great solar gods, Amun and Ra, who unite to represent the sun in the fullness of its mysteries. Honoring both the bright golden illuminating brilliance of the day, and the hidden, mysterious night journey when the sun is invisible, Amun-Ra announces our opportunity to step into our full inner authority, into an awakened state of illumined consciousness. When you can fully embrace the cycles of life and death, and pass through the portals of light and dark, each transforms into its opposite.

In the dance of Ra and Amun, an alchemical process is unleashed as the seen mixes with the unseen. That which is consciously created from that awareness-a project, event, or object-is the spiritualized matter, the alchemical gold. We ourselves are the spiritualized matter when we engage with Amun-Ra, who infuses us with dignity and royalty. The powerful light from the Solar Mysteries shines upon us and transfigures us, and we become spiritually mature beings who embody shamanic consciousness in everyday life. Amun-Ra helps us to realize that everything we need to heal ourselves and our world is within our reach; he enters this oracle to help us find it.

If you’ve pulled this card, you are now ready to embody the solar energies and radiate them into the world around you. You have the opportunity to experience a sacred marriage and enter into the company of gods, becoming fully aware of your divinity. As you meditate on the image of Amun-Ra, you may experience a feeling of radiant power and wholeness, and a readiness to step fully into your power in the world. Choose wisely what you create from this auspicious moment. Remember that whatever you manifest in the physical world not only shines in the visible, blazing light of Ra, but also reflects the Great Mystery of the unseen, Amun, the hidden face of the sun.
