Communion with the Great Kerubim

(Knowledge and Conversation with the Great Spirit Guardians)

It is good if you have access to a Holy Light Wheel – if you do, go to it; but if not, you can create a
Sacred Circle of Fives Stones for yourself and call in the Powers (If you cannot do either of these,
then you can adapt this ceremonial meditation to perform it without an actual Sacred Circle,
maybe in your sanctuary or at your holy shrine or altar – ask the Mother Spirit to inspire you and
show you how.)

The power of the Four Winds arise as the four Great Kerubim – great angels with the faces of a
Human Being, a Lion, an Eagle, and an Ox, each having six wings, the “Wings of the Winds” (two
wings for each of the Fixed, Mutable and Cardinal zodiacal signs); thus along with a guardian angel
and other guides in Spirit, you have a Great Kerub that plays the role of guardian and guide to you
in this life.

At the same time, during different cycles of your life, the powers of the other Great Kerubim come
into play, and when the powers of another Great Kerub come into play in your life they become as
a guardian and guide during that period – so there is a Great and Holy Kerub corresponding to this
lifetime, and then there are other Great and Holy Kerubim corresponding to cycles within this
lifetime as you shift Directions through life, and so ride the various Holy Winds.

Now the Great Kerubim can assume their classical form as a great and awesome angel of the
Heavenly Father with kerubic face; but they can also assume the form of the raw elemental forces
over which they preside, assuming a form of a great and awesome angel of our Earthly Mother – for
example the Kerub of the East can become a great whirlwind or gale; the Kerub of the West can
become a great lake or rushing river; the Kerub of the South could appear as a wildfire or volcano,
the Kerub of the North as a great mountain or desert; if they interweave and move together they
can become many things.

It is good from time to time to commune with your Great Spirit Guardian, your Great Kerub, as well
as the Great Kerubim that enter in cycles of your life – you go to the Light Wheel to do this, or else
you create a Circle of Five Stones to do this.

When you go to the Light Wheel, enter by way of your Life Kerub, walk the Sacred Circle and go to
the Center, and honor the Creator and Earth Mother, and all Four Directions; then go to the
Direction of your Life Kerub and make some offering, honoring your Life Kerub, and ask for
guidance.

Having done this, go into the Center and make an offering to all of the Great Kerubim in the
presence of Yahweh, and ask them for guidance.

(Although you smudge before entering into the Light Wheel, smudging with some sacred herbs is a
way of making an offering, or else, perhaps burning some sticks of incense by the sacred stones of
the Great Kerubim – always being careful not to start a fire in the dry season though!)

Take up your rattle or a drum, and finding a rhythm remember your innate connection to Sky
Father and Earth Mother, and then contemplate the Great Kerubim and their sacred stones in
Circle; let yourself become open and sensitive, receptive, and walk the Sacred Circle, and when
you feel inclined, go and sit by the sacred stone that calls you, the one most attractive to you at
this time – that will be the Great Kerub whose power is moving in the present cycle of your life.

When you sit down, set aside the rattle or drum, be sure to relax, center and ground again, then
focus on this sacred stone and the Great Kerub it represents – how does it make you feel? How does
the Sacred Circle look and feel from this place? Tune into how you are feeling, and pay attention to
the sensations in your body, and to the emotions and thoughts arising as you abide in this holy
place.

Then, pray, and ask the Great Kerub if is wishes to communicate with you – invite and welcome the
Spirit of the Kerub, and open your mind and heart to it. Take note of how the Great Kerub appears
to you – what image of the Kerub might be inspired in your mind’s eye; and note how it moves and
sounds and feels and smells; open your senses, exterior and interior.

Wait upon the Spirit of Yahweh.

Inquire of the Kerub if you are experiencing something of its Divine Power in your life, and inquire
on what level – spiritual, mental, emotional or physical; and inquire if this Kerub has a word of
knowledge for you, or some word of Yahweh for you –some message.

Inquire if there are any teachings or mysteries the Kerub wishes to communicate to you.

In the Name of Yahweh and Yeshua, request a blessing or empowerment from the Kerub.

When the Kerub is finished and withdraws, give thanks to the Great Kerub for all that it has given,
and give praise and thanks to El Elyon, God Most High; worship in the presence of Yahweh Elohim.

Ask that the blessing of all you have received be granted to all who desire to receive it, and pray
for all your relations – then let the Gates be sealed with conscious intention, and depart in a
sacred manner.

Sometimes you might be sent to another Direction and another Great Kerub – follow the guidance
of the Holy Spirit and Divine Powers; sometimes you will be told something to be done – *be sure to
do it*, whether something in Sacred Circle or something to be done later after you depart. When
you ask for guidance, teachings or empowerments, it is important that you follow whatever
instructions you are given – if and when you do not it can be very inauspicious and the spirits may
fall silent, no longer giving guidance or teachings to you until you honor and respect what you have
received from them. You have to be willing to accept their help and guidance, as at any time you
pray to the Holy One of Being, for they are the powers and messengers of the Holy One, your
Heavenly Father and your Earthly Mother.

As with any time you are in Sacred Circle, watch for signs around you – the Holy Shekinah and
Divine Powers often speak within what’s happening; as much as looking to see the angels of your
Heavenly Father with interior senses, seek to look and see the angels of your Earthly Mother with
your exterior sense. Truly, the Holy Spirit is constantly speaking with us, inwardly and outwardly.

Sometimes you will be asked to make offerings, or sometimes be directed to do some gifting – offer
or gift whatever is asked, and avoid the bread of shame; honor and respect the Creator and Powers
of Creator, and honor and respect all beings, all life.

This is how you can commune with the Great Kerubim – these Great Forces of the Holy Shekinah;
may your communion be blessed – amen.

May all who desire Holy Communion be received in Communion; amen.

Blessings & shalom!

Comunion with the Elemental Forces
by Tau Malachi Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 5:39 pm

Communion with Elemental Forces

When you have entertained communion with the Great Kerubim and discerned the principle
Elemental Force moving in this cycle of your life it is of great benefit to commune with that
elemental power in your Earthly Mother, for it may provide you with greater insight into this cycle
of your life and may help you come into greater harmony with the movement of force in this cycle,
but also it is a time when you can especially draw strength and power from that Kerub and
Elemental Force – works with that Elemental Forces are especially auspicious during this cycle, so
you can draw upon it for yourself and for the people.

When the Kerub of Air is active in your life you will draw strength from moving air – the breeze, the
wind, the gale; go out and draw power from the wind. Likewise, indoors, perhaps even a fan will
do – sit in front of it and with conscious intention draw power from it, likewise considering the
movement of air, seek insight by contemplating the qualities of air and wind. Get in touch with the
Power of Air and draw strength from it, and in whatever way you can conceive use its power in
your wonderworking and spiritual continuum. (Perhaps the use of the magical dagger and feather
fans will be especially powerful at this time.)

When the Kerub of Fire is active in your life you will draw strength whenever you can be near fire
in a safe way, such as sitting by a campfire in a safe place, or sitting in front of a fire burning in
the fireplace; perhaps more common, especially to city dwellers, is the lighting of candles – in
whatever way, be present with fire, drawing strength and insight from it. (Perhaps the use of the
magical wand will be especially powerful at this time.)

When the Kerub of Water is active in your life go out and walk by a creek, stream, river, pond, lake
or the ocean – if it is the warmer season, maybe take a good swim; likewise you could enjoy a good
bath or shower, and draw strength and insight from the Element of Water every time you touch
water, even from the tap while washing your hands or when drinking it. In whatever way you can
get in touch with water and draw upon its power. (Perhaps use of the magical cup will be especially
powerful at this time.)

When the Kerub of Earth is active in your life go walk on the earth, and sit on the earth and on
rocks, go be with the earth, the ground; if nothing else, hold some potting soil in your hands! Do
whatever you can to get in touch with and draw power from the earth, go and do it. (Perhaps the
use of the pentacle and magical stones will be especially powerful at this time.)

Some modern spiritual teachers will tell you to take a notebook and pen to record your
experiences and what the spirits say to you – but that just fosters weakness and is the wrong
suggestion regarding your intelligence and memory; it certainly doesn’t reflect a very powerful
wonderworker, or a skilled magician and shaman. Don’t listen to such silliness – your intelligence
and memory are fine, trust them, just as you trust the Divine Spirit and God! Besides, if there is
something that you don’t remember – maybe you weren’t supposed to!

If you are well acquainted with the Greater Ritual of the Pentagram, using the invocation of the
corresponding Elemental Gate, you can also create a sacred ceremony to invoke that Gate and
commune with the Elemental Force in this way – even apart from that, creating sacred ceremonies
based upon the Elemental Forces is always a good way to get in touch with them.

In one way or another, when you know the Kerub moving in your life, commune often with that
energy and make use of it in every way that you can – in this way you are empowered by your
knowledge of spiritual forces moving in your life, and you can encourage others to be empowered
too, and even help them understand how to be empowered.

May we entertain the dance of the Holy Shekinah in full; amen.

Blessings & shalom!
