I couldn’t wait to put these notes out on the first pathworking. I never did serious pathworking before and it was quite a treat! It was also very powerful the first time through and I’m actually considering doing it several more times to wring out every last bit of catalyst in it.
So it starts out in a wooded forest area with rock outcroppings. Suggested sensory details include smelling the scent of pine trees and hearing the sounds of birds. In doing this we learn to bring our visualizations more strongly into focus and to give life to them. That is the entire idea of the pathworking, to visualize it in such detail and depth that it comes to life for you.
Seeing the glow of the aura of our guide in the dark cave adds the element of visualizing auras which also strengthens our psychic abilities by giving them a good workout.
It is important to take our time with each detail and reach into memory for some similar experience to draw from such as the fear of confronting the dweller on the threshold. We have all felt that fear of something following us in the darkness, that terror of the reptilian or the ghostly. As we tap into memories they enhance and give life to our pathworking. I have encountered reptilian entities in my visions/dreams and this is the level of the astral/etheric planes that those encounters happen. Mark it; recognize it and perhaps explore it sometime on your own.
The etheric planes are below the physical planes so it is suiting that this pathworking takes us down into the bowels of the earth itself. This is the level of the underworld in various traditions. Our encounter with elemental beings should be connected with that of ghosts and other ghostly visitations. These are the energies in which they appear. The more we adapt to these levels the more we can function within them.
Much of this pathworking is veiled and symbolic. Be alert to recognize areas that you might wish to visit sometime later on. The rectangular space where the ancient treasures and weapons of the world’s past are stored is more than a treasure chamber, it is the location of the akashic records! It is symbolically mentioned as having scrolls and books and ancient tablets from forgotten times. Know that this is where you can go to read the akashic records! Further exploration reveals that this is the true origin of our etheric body projecting from the crystalline nature of Gaia herself. The Akashic records are crystalline even though they appear in symbolic forms.
The gateway entrance to night is also a transition point in awareness where our awareness slips from that of the underworld to that of connecting with the stars and the milky way. All of these levels are layers that build upon each other. In pathworking we are bringing conscious awareness to these levels and gaining the ability to function in these levels. That is what magical creation is all about. This drinking of the light of all the cosmic suns in the Milky Way galaxy is our true connection to SOURCE at this level and we truly can’t get enough of it! As we drink the milk of the stars we fuel our very essence, our very soul!
The well is where we confront our own reptilian shadow self, how we evolved from single cellular life through all the species and finally we are on the return journey. But these are only the first steps of the return journey and we need to integrate those primitive instincts. Our primitive reptilian nature resides within us and exists to protect and empower us. To integrate this Shadow we need to confront the Dweller on the Threshold and realize it is our own guardian spirit.
The garden of the moon is where we get our first taste of moon honey. Might we also say mana from heaven? At first I didn’t realize the subtle symbolism of the gentle bees and the drops of honey. These bees were the first and only life forms to touch us in these pathworkings and the taste of honey is literally the taste of the kiss of our Divine Counterpart/ Soulmate. Our goal should always contain this taste of honey and if it is missing we have left the path and lost our way! And as this is above ground this is in reality a representation of our physical reality. We have not yet arrived at the astral planes. But we are nearing that location where the astral becomes physical according to the laws of the astral planes.
That is when our guide leaves us and the stag becomes our new guide who leads us to the temple of the moon. The temple of the moon is where the infinitely changing astral planes solidify into concrete reality! Anyone who has done astral healing work or travel should recognize how the awareness of the shaman sifts through the changing astral layers as it tracks down its elusive goal and conclusively deals with it. It is the temple of the moon where our astral creations begin the process of physical manifestation.
This temple is the conclusion destination of this first working and when I did it the first time I sensed my astral/etheric body as being initiated as I was fitted with a helmet like that of our first guide! My etheric and astral bodies changed through this powerful initiation and I want to share it with others. After several times listening to this pathworking the images/locations are becoming more vivid and there is still a definite catalytic effect on my etheric/astral body.
I hope these notes are helpful!
