Ancient One: Grandmother
Guardian of the Light
Dancing Sphere: Global Magic
 

An aura of comfort and peace engulf you as you rest your palms upon this sphere, this Ancient One: Grandmother. As you move your hands slowly across its curved exterior, its silky surface becomes silkier. The solid boundaries become more fluid and flexible; it is as if you enter the delicate mists of this crystalline world. It is as if you enter the mystery of this Ancient One: Grandmother. With the Counsels of the Ancients, the emphases are upon the counsels of heart and mind, of destiny, and of voice. With the Gift of the Ancients, the focuses are upon the gifts of hope, well-being, belonging and triumph.

  In addition, this Ancient One: Grandmother is a Guardian - a custodian charged with protecting and guarding the honor and integrity - of the Light. That is, the protector and guardian of freedom and of the transcendent forces revealing the truer, more real, or transcendent self. With this, it guards and protects power, responsibility, the power to will, awakening genius, and intimacy and wisdom.

  With its liquid-like energy, it is as a bubble of light. It is a "Dancing Sphere" for the workings of Global Magic. It can guide its keeper through the process from the mantle of Personal Magic through the Grace of Mystery and to the mantle of Global Magic. Its prowess is in the working of all kinds of magic, with an affinity for Global Magic. This makes it superb for working on the Mystic Mills and for working Mills Magic.

  Provenance: It was unearthed during the glory days of the 1st civilization of Atlantis. After being polished it was placed as the focal crystal of a High Temple of Crystal Magic. It served the pilgrims who sought its counsels and gifts. It would open its gates to the Light for those who could see and hear with other than their eyes and ears. Alone in the High Temple, the sphere would dance. It would seem to float as a bubble of light around the temple and then gently light upon the pilgrim who had witnessed this wonder. The magician would emerge transformed, perhaps transcendent. During the final two centuries of this Atlantis civilization, the sphere would be removed, and in time the temple would be destroyed. The individual keepers during this frightening time became lost in their fears and hid this sphere. They were the guardians, but they functioned more as wardens. The Ancient One: Grandmother slipped into repose. Before the end, it was abandoned.

  It would come alive in the 2nd and 3rd civilizations, but during these times its keepers were always individuals. In the glory days they were the human Ancients of Atlantis and the Elder healers and teachers. During these glory days, its keepers were also those artists and boundary dwellers who were Crystal Dancers. During the corrupt times, rather than being dimmed, the light shone more brightly than ever. This singular sphere was a beacon of home and a purveyor of triumph. It inspired literally thousands of magicians to hold true to the vision and to continue to dream. Its reputation reached from shore to shore. It was never captured. In the final civilization, it woke up only in the dark days. The journey continued.

  Out of Atlantis, this sphere would awaken in Lemuria (outside linear chronology) and work with Lemurian Dreamers and Dreamer Companions. In this work, it was renewed and restored. Subsequently, it would come alive in Celtic eastern Europe and then in Celtic southern France (Gaul) and Spain. Then it entered healing repose once again.

  Now it is awake and polished once again. It is smaller, but no less powerful and no less determined or less persistent.
 

Ancient One: Shining One
Guardian of the Great Circle
Metamorphosis/Transcendence Magic

Five feet tall, three feet across, this Ancient One: Shining One was crafted by Siriun Master Crystal Magicians. It was aligned by the Siriun Ancients of the Crystal People (the Light Beings) under the direction and guidance of Siriun Shining Ones. It was teleported to Lemuria and gifted to the land and its people. Its initial guardians were the Elder Lemurian Dreamers in the Crystal City of Lemurian Dreamers.

   Its power is beauty: joy and peace simultaneously ... exhilaration and serenity, enchantment and inspiration ... Its power is love, both lifted and gifted. Its magic is Beauty’s Magic and Love’s Magic. It is a stunning Ancient One: Shining One. Of its seven Counsels each is exalted; of its nine Gifts each flows in the light of joy. And its Grace lifts beyond words.

   It is also a Guardian (protecting the honor) of the Great Circle that begins and ends with Spirit searching for Soul and Soul waiting to be found. Out of its grace as Ancient One: Shining One and as Guardian, it is a master of Metamorphosis and Transcendence Magics.

   Notice the fluid, powerful, vertical lift of the extended message plates and sense the luminous quality to its light. And there is a spectacular rainbow Stargate Gateway - a beacon to Sirius, its home.

  Provenance: It woke among the Crystal People of Sirius who crafted it and aligned it. It took a century for this work. It then was teleported to Lemuria within the Crystal City of Lemurian Dreamers. It sat as the High Crystal within that city for thousands of years. It was the focal point in the dual High Temples of Knowing and of Mystery. Every Dreamer spent time with this Ancient One: Shining One before reentering the Lemurian world. Each Dreamer, fully credentialed, would enter a vision quest with this Ancient One: Shining One. Months would pass before the quest was complete. Upon the journey the enlightened one Dreamers became the exceptional ones. The ritual was sacred and profound.

   In time, this Ancient One: Shining One would move out into the land to be carried by the Dreamers and their Companions. Another Ancient One: Shining One would take its place. Among the people of this land, individual Dreamers were charged with its keeping, an honor bestowed on few. As Lemuria withdrew, various Congresses of Dreamers would dream this Ancient One: Shining One with the records and with the encoded magic of Sirius and Lemuria. When ready, it was carried to the lands that would become Atlantis.

   In Atlantis it awoke in the glory days of the 2nd civilization. Immediately exalted, it was polished, losing only a little of its size and none of its power. It was placed in Atlantean High Temples of Crystals. It was deemed a regal and sacred gift from the ancestry, and it was celebrated as such. As the days darkened, it was secreted away in the night for safekeeping and protection. As the days grew darker, many magicians willingly gave of their lives to secure the safety of this Ancient One. In time, only individual magicians steeped in Siriun and Lemurian Magic were its keepers, and the magic and the wonder continued. The Great Wheel - the Great Circle - kept turning.

   With the destruction of this 2nd civilization, its keeper tried to keep this Ancient One: Shining One safe. But the explosion of crystals cracked and broke this Ancient One. This tragedy resulted in saving the lives of more than 200 people. Those who had been hunting this Ancient One in order to destroy it had also been intent upon killing this large band of rebels and visionaries who surrounded this crystal: a showdown. When this Ancient One exploded, it was a distraction and a diversion. The magicians escaped while the hunters chortled and celebrated what they considered to be this crystal’s end. In the final smoldering of a dead civilization, the Siriun Ancient Crystal People retrieved this Ancient One: Shining One. Much smaller, but more intent and intense, it now is awake and polished again. It has come to Lazaris in search of a keeper that it once knew - that it still knows.
