- worlds you voyage to are non physical realms and so primarily exercise
astral and mental muscle, but
- voyages work best when all three bodies are involved - hence dancing a
nd chanting as primary vehicles
- post purification, prepare space by 'opening' it. cast a circle, smud
ge with incense, light a candle
- to transform it into a space where you are safe, comfortable and can g
o into altered state of consciousness
- sacrifice (of something valuable to you) is used to prime yourself, su
pplicant (?) or place of journey. To placate spirits, some quests demand this sa
crifice.
- Shaman learns to walk otherworlds but also bridge them for everything
encountered (?) and become living embodiments of their journeys (??)
- Consider using a tradition linked to your identity. Become aware of th
e significance of the symbolism that culture has dressed the reality of the Othe
rWorlds in.
- This provides important signs and portents
- direction, time and space don't really apply in the journey. Movement
is symbolic
- it is possible for time to move backwards or sideways
- you can become what you encounter and shapeshift into a bear o
r raindrop
- you can perceive strange things - faces in clouds
- be interested in everything that happens and everything you pe
rceive
- soak in all sensory inputs from Otherworlds
- let them soak you in, in return. Shine forth who you are.
- how much prep you need to do is individual. Do more first time. but do
n't overscript.
- creative imagination and its use *in an altered state of mind* is the
key
- c.i given by Earth, so before you begin, reflect on Planet Earth with
love.
- to use this technique astrologically, what you need is a natal chart (
only).
- without conductors and keys, just choose a place in the chart and plan
the trip.
- but conductors and keys can provide most potent *times* to make a jour
ney. And 'act as guides' (?) to what you can expect when you go wandering.
- to practice with keys,
- choose an activation
- note its placement and role in your chart
- then go looking (foraging, for X, you'll know it when you find
it) starting in that direction(? = house/sign etc?) at that time (activator wit
hin orb?)
-2. Practising
- on first journey, intent is to travel to 12 separate 'locations' and m
eet the inhabitants there, make careful notes of anything encountered
- the 12 locations correspond to 12 temples of your chart, so visualize
as temples, though may take any structural form
- visit in any sequence or order, but visit all before revisit any
- if 12 locations are too much for one journey, break into manageable ch
unks.
- if you use a conductor, visit them at the allotted time
- if you use a key, visit them during the window of opportunity (but rem
ember that an activation will be shaping your experience of the temple)
- if you have planets in a specific temple in your natal chart, you will
meet them at the corresponding astra-mental temple
- each temple represents, for you, your astrology in that temple. Will g
row more you visit, and the greater your quality of interaction
- in each temple, you can reflect, meditate, perfrom experiments, do wh
atever you wish
- each temple is also a place of instruction, and you can undertake voya
ges into the sorrounding wild, seeking answers to questions beyond your astrolog
y
- path linking 12 houses - the ecliptic - made of sun/moon light.
- you can 'note' (??) objects/creatures symbolizing various degrees of
zodiac, decanic faces, bounds etc
- pass through a portal connecting our world and otherworlds to find it
- somewhere near sacred space? difficulty finding?
- guardian of the portal *may* be there? one day quest giver? appearanc
e significant?
- once thru portal, you are in the OtherWorlds- here on in, if travelin
g with a specific intention/goal/endpoint (say Temple #1) keep it in the front o
f your mind,never lose this focus, keep moving forward. Else you'll get lost. If
get lost, look for landmarks/guides.
- when journey is complete, come back like the wind through the portal,
back the way you came if possible, thanking the Keeper of the Ways.
- Immediately Record your experience
- Reflect on the experience in the coming days - often messages become
clearer later on.
- For each temple
should be tangible locations that only you know how to f
ind, possibly buildings or other architectural forms
should be roomy enough to rest
have manmade objects/design statuary, symbols, furniture

short distance, but distance irrelevant in the Otherworlds.
- temples do NOT back into each other.

- visit all of them first, before revisiting. Meet and g
reet Sun through Dragon
- planet in your birth chart
- can tell you what it is doing there
- what is going on in that temple
- can talk about temples it rules, from the pers
pective of temple it occupies
- e.g Saturn in the 11th when he is rule
r of 2nd and 3d can tell you what 2nd and 3d temples mean to you and friends
- a planet in its own temple are in great comman
d and can make things happen easily.
- planets show essential dignity in the forms they take
and their contentedness with what is around them
- a planet in rulership is in total command of the envir
onment around it, planet in detriment is just the opposite
- By interacting with these disgruntled beings, you can
make changes and improve their lot.
- An activator or progressed planet is a visitor passing
through.
- They have a place set aside for them in your temple, a
nd can be met there
- often they will be doing something in the temple and/o
r interacting with the residents
- you can receive wisdom about the past, and information
about the future
- you can discuss whatever work you are doing with their
activation
- sometimes they leave markers in your temple- markers o
f affection and astramental talismans of their essential meaning
- display these prominently in temple
Aspects
- reveal how planetary beings in your temple rev
eal/regard each other
- some planetary beings won't seem to get along,
others do
- stories about other planetary beings, messages
for them, objects given to them by other beings - all representations of aspect
s
(key) since beings in the Otherworld *also* have
objective reality
- talking with one about another can cha
nge how they manifest in your life
- taking messages from one to the other
can 'lay down tracks' that strengthen their connection
- can do 'diplomacy' to positivize squar
es (give both parties something to focus their different strategies on) and oppo
sition (mediate a compromise)
- these changes can take time to manifes
t in the real world, but they must come
- conjunctions, joint bodies, prophetic
changes when activator goes by.
2. Purify. Switch on any drumming tracks etc if used. or any other means of alte
ring consciousness.
4. Find a portal/go to portal if already established. Greet the Guardian (or not
, depending on the tradition. The Eight temple meditation essentially has a pra
yer to Adonai here (I think)).
5. Open portal. Step onto the visualized ecliptic. Move to the temple you want t
o start from/work in.
6. Do whatever work you had planned. [a] [b] [c]
8. Pass through the temple and come out the 'back' door.
9. Step off the ecliptic via the portal.
10. Ground yourself
11. Record experience.
12. "Close" sacred space.
13. Go do something mundane
[a] On the first "creation" trip visualize an appropriate (to the House) temple,
a. with the qualities of the sign/signs permeating the space,
b. with a surrounding landscape reminiscent of the sign the house opens
in.
c. visualize all planets at the appropriate degree, (including progresse
d planets? ), with changes in signs etc where the temple includes two signs as a
ppropriate.
d. Have the opening sign on the gate. I'd probably also indicate the num
ber of the temple somehow. Maybe just 'carve' it into the door or walls of the t
emple.
[b] Once all temples are 'built' do a 'walk' off all temples from 1 to 12 in on
e session
[c] On the third trip, 'meet and greet' all the natal planets in order from hou
ses 1 to 12. Now your astral temples are "open for business".
