The Star Maidens Circle: The NorthWest
Excerpted from “A Course of Study, Series A: Module 2: THE MEDICINE WHEEL OF LIFE: THE STAR MAIDENS CIRCLE″, written by Mary Flaming Crystal Mirror. See Part 1: Introduction here.
The Northwest of the SMC is the place of Rules and Laws. These are the ways in which we determine how things should be. They are the limitations and boundaries that we place on ourselves and others to govern conduct. They tell the stories of our moralities, and delineate how we perceive the opposites like “right” and “wrong”, “good” and “bad”, “fair” and “unfair.”
Rules are defined as what you can or cannot do. Laws describe what will happen if you do or do not follow the rules. We have civil, social, and religious laws which govern the people as a collective. There are also Natural, Magickal, Cosmic, and Universal Laws. An example of these higher laws is “Do nothing to harm the children.” Sometimes the civil, social, and religious laws are in alignment with higher laws—and sometimes not.
Within the dark mirror, the rules become boundaries, a box around your freedom of expression. Laws become limitations, restrictions within the box itself! Most rules and laws hold the tone of obligation and will be accompanied by wording like “I should.” Some examples of dark mirror rules and laws are:
• “I should always go visit mother on Mother’s Day.”
• “Never kiss on the first date.”
• “I should do what I am told.”
An example of a light mirror is stopping at traffic lights to monitor safety on the road. The Natural, Magickal, Cosmic, and Universal laws are all light mirrors.
SwiftDeer once made the comment that you could do anything you wanted as long as you didn’t cross or break sacred law. I asked him if it was really true. (I have a great imagination, so I wanted to get started.) He said, “Yes and … you must be willing to take responsibility for your actions.” If I choose to run a traffic light, for example, I must take responsibility for what occurs as a result of this, whether it be a ticket, an accident, or nothing at all.
The Screenplay, or the Script, also sits here. You wrote this while you were still in the spirit world. It is based on a preview of what your soul needs for its next stage of development. You created the environmental context, chose the cast and crew, and planned the action that would best enable this development. This script is based on three key sacred images: life itself, you yourself, and you within life.
The Warrior’s Attributes here are Pattern and Timing. Pattern is looking at the repetitions of energy and events. Timing is catching minimal chance: being in the right place at the right time. When you can discern the pattern of something, you know when to step in and catch the necessary timing. If you cannot discern pattern, you will not know when to act. When I lived in California, there were times when SwiftDeer would have workings at his home. He would not tell many people because he was testing our intuition. These were usually higher level teachings. He has a rule that if you show up when a working is happening, even if you are not at that level, you get to stay for it. Here is where pattern and timing come in handy when trying to find out as much as you can about the working.
Let’s look at pattern. First of all, anyone who knows SwiftDeer would realize he does most of his workings after midnight. So, if you show up in the morning, you can be sure you will not catch timing. Usually on weekends he is teaching, so probably no working. You begin to stalk his patterns until you come up with the most likely time for the working. Then, from knowing the patterns, you catch the timing and, bingo, you show up at the right time and the right place. Without the pattern, you would not know when to make your move. This is an example of how pattern and timing work.
What are the patterns that you have encoded in your physical body because your perception was limited by the stories you believe to be true? Realize this is your script. Assume authority for what happens and has happened. Take responsibility for the agreements you have with others and your life process. Step into the power of each moment’s opportunity. If you do this, you will move into the light mirror. You will recognize, accept and change the pattern. You will have the wisdom to know the timing for change and the timing of evolution. This is a movement to a higher level of the script you wrote for yourself in spirit.
