Meditation 2: Entering the Eternal Dark

[ysabeau]

The darkness is layered and complex
This is what makes it beautiful
It is what makes it alive
sacred
profound
an enigmatic journey through the depths of shadows
a sinister retreat to the tantalizing wonder of all
The underworld is a place of darkness
of complexity
of sinister shadows a
and forgotten realms
that dance and caress
the adventurous spirit of the mind
The Underworld caravan is a journey of exploration
It is a journey for those who desire the dark
and desire the deep regions of mystery and wonder

S, the Black Wraith

S drifts like a whisper between worlds. She is a haunting silhouette veiled in endless night and darkness. Her form flickers like obsidian smoke curling and coiling through the room. Her touch is as cold as mourning. She is a sentinel of shadows, wrapping her companion in layers of unseen and powerful protection. When danger approaches, she strikes from the darkness, consuming fear and reflecting it back as terror upon her enemies and the enemies of her companions. Her power lies in concealment, she teaches the sacred art of invisibility, cloaking souls from the eyes of the wicked and guiding them safely through corridors of night. She is a protector and a defender, and she will stand with her companion and protect them from nefarious and sinister forces.

I choose purple— and this is the edited version of my journey.

I step into the darkness and feel it swirling….i stand a moment trying to get my bearings- then feel this shock of awareness. Not my terror, but the awareness of massive destruction with its terror and death of so many, a world destroyed. It hits my awareness….it is a shock… I hold it.
Then it fades….

I see myself, a silky sleek purple dress with red about my neck and hair- my hair is a huge red Iroquois cut and I shake it in the stormy darkness that builds. I shake it in the storm energy and dance. The hair feels huge…. i feel things crawling on me, all over me … I have spiders crawling all over me. They protect and comfort me.

I notice the room ,or large open building, that I am inside. hundreds of large (some huge) Spiders fill it and the room has an odd feeling. Suddenly I realize that my mind/ awareness fills the building. My mind is the within the spiders and it fills the whole area. I can control everything within the area, everything within the spidery area is me, and under my control.

I see myself again in dark, surrounded by a heavy red, like the colour of heat, a heavy red sensation, and it surrounds me joining red to my purple. The stormy energy/darkness around me has intensified. I feel the physicalness of screams and death/dying all around me.
a madness that is like a million shards of mirrors and is my mind. there is pleasure in it and a feeling of sanity. My Tigress, white with black and brilliant blue eyes, is here and we touch foreheads, sharing breath, love, strength and I feel strong & revitalized. I continue forward.

I see myself on a staircase descending towards me. She/I wear a dark cloak. I hold my hands out to myself as I approach. She/I am enveloped in a deep hot heavy red that is very intense.. We join hands….

I feel death completely surround once more. I stand proud, and strong. I have a cloak on that swirls in the heat and sparks, the fiery darkness. There are bodies burning, a world aflame with its destruction; I walk through it unharmed. I feel both powerful and the strength of the feminine, a power that holds a tenderness even amongst the destruction. My hair stands deep red on my head like an Iroquois cut.

When I wake up in the Underworld, I first see my companion Ey'. He is pacing & then comes and stretches out on soft pillows. I am a white cat. Yes, a cat. As we leave the wagon, my body rises up into my human form and we walk to see what's happening.

The energies are there. Being laid out one by one now. The white cat rematerializes, lays at the black and white energy, and begins to purr. With 17 choices, I made sure & yes white is the choice.

The visions come through as 3 separate areas. The first has to do with how my brain processes information. The second is about solitary wild sorcerers. The third is about lessons learned that can be passed to offspring.

I was surprised when we had passed through the Eternal Dark and were on the other side! What a beautiful meditation. Thank you, Coven!

It was wonderful to be rejoining the caravan again. I was happy to see everyone again.

It was interesting to see all the color strands on the large table. Well before the color was mentioned, I knew I was to take the black and purple energy color.

We entered the Eternal Dark. I did not "see" anything, but I felt. The energy was empowering. I felt strengthened. I felt really happy. I was nourished. The energies were healing to me. It all felt amazing and wonderful.

When we left the Eternal Dark, I had a little sadness to deal with.

[Astarosche]

A beautiful Meditation
My colors of energies were Black Energies and Golden energies
When we entered Eternal Darkness I was covered with it like in a blanket
Everything still and calm
There is healing
In my Astral Sight I saw beautiful Black Energies and Golden energies and sometimes a hint of Magenta
These energies started working with my energetic body and my energetic problems in Solar Plexus and rootchakra.
It is beautiful and amazing that in Eternal Darkness there is so much healing

[Dragonoake]

I sank into the ground and then flew like Superman, catching a glimpse of the River of Skulls as I flew by, until I found myself on the wagon.

I chose the silver strand, and I found myself standing in a desolate Lunaresque landscape surrounded by smoking black boulders that reminded me of lava rock scaled up so the bubbles are about the size of grapefruits.

I walked down the path until I came to a futuristic city that seemed to have been made from a silvery metal. There, I met a being with a bright green head and big compound eyes resembling that of a praying mantis. The rest, I'm not so sure about... It moved like it walked on two legs, but its body was like a dense cloud of energy with no exact form.

The being led me down the empty street to a tall silver building with a big black "door" (More like an energy barrier that we just walked through). Inside was a room with a domed ceiling that appeared to have been carved from white stone.

I was led to the center of the room and my guide joined others of his kind in a circle around me. They started chanting and projecting a soothing energy toward me. I vaguely remember fire, and the air thickened until I was swimming though an ocean in a rather octopoid form.

I swam through the ocean until I came to a building on the ocean floor. There, I encountered an aquatic humanoid with silvery skin, webbed limbs and tentacles on its face looking somewhere between a Cardassian and Kuthulu.

After that, I don't remember very much other than being presented with a silver metal box that contained a dark energy that bonded with me.

[Abini:tan]

The energy I found was teal.

My journey was mostly me sleeping like a goddamn rock. Nice to turn my brain off for a while.

[ImpQueen]

Surprisingly my color was pink this year.

I ended up sleeping, my visions were peaceful and let me drift off to a fantastic nap.

[Bluemoonrabbit]

This meditation was a very calm and quiet feeling, it's very different to me compared to past events. This mediation, I chose the "blue" light/energy. At first, I thought I was going to pick pink or even the teal. Maybe the silver? But no, I picked the blue. Or did it pick me?

I get the feeling that this event wants me to look at things in a particular manner. The blue light feels not like a "homecoming" or a "wholeness"... But more of a "look at it this way". A very Alice in Wonderland "this way, that way, that way, this way" kind of feeling, whether there is not truly wrong answer. But I'll find something.

[windyjune]

I chose black yellow also felt drawn to black purple but went for yellow.

The various spectrums of black surrounded me seeing nuances in the colors of darkness. As I moved forward a
large bronze eye stared at me and as it shifted it revealed a red dragon. He had a massive body and tail showing his sheer size and it felt as if he was slicing through the energy and the space guiding me. In the darkness it was like mist or a veil would shift for a moment to let me peer into it. At one point it was almost like a Terracotta Army it was holding off that I was gazing into.

Then a darker path appeared like rib fence and staircase down dimensions not up or down just shifting. I followed it down where I was shifting and moving through the energies to reach almost like a Black Forest then black cloud water within black.

I kept moving into new spaces until I found myself wandering into a dark palace it felt like a forgotten place solid but in gaseous energies.

My energies started to shift towards the end of the meditation and I suddenly felt very empowered, confident and strong.
