Mystic Window
Give a gift of art or beauly to someone close to you. Now is the time to devise new pains born out of the desire for elegant solutions. This is a good time to clean house both emotionally and intellectually. Listen to your intuition and use your imagination to shape your intent and actions.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
A wind flowing beneath the flames
Stokes the sacrificial fires
While appeasing the ancestors And refining the golden elixir.
Fearless, Sword, Sacrificial urn, Full moon,
Caution, Young man, Clouds, Continuity
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Lower the crucible
To the Golden Elixir Field of Cinnabar.
What was right and correct, Is now wrong and incorrect.
Behave accordingly.
Sacrifice to the spirits of your ancestors.
Line 2
The crucible overflows And I possess wellness
Unexpected by my adversaries.
Great abundance abounds.
Line 3
The crucible's handles are broken;
It cannot be used.
The rain will wash away
The mess you've made of things.
When the rains end, Abundance abounds.
Line 4
The crucible's feet are broken And the elixir within is wasted.
This brings catastrophe.
Line 5
A strong man who can hear the earth, See the winds, and Shape the procession, Will consult his soul To reveal his riches.
Line 6
The crucible is adorned With the Dragon's essence.
Great abundance abounds.
This is the best of all possible times.
