Spring Equinox Celebration

Stanton Drew – March 20^th 2015 – at 11.11

Earlier last month I was reviewing Hilary’s new book (Number Woman) and a thought just popped into my head ‘I wonder how Hilary is getting on’. I walked back into the bedroom only to see the time on the bedside clock was 11.11, now if you know anything about Hilary and numbers you’d know that was a firm sign to get in touch (now, soon, right away).

Hilary thought it would be a good idea for us to also connect with Laura Pocket as we three had been working with energy together for a few years now, another link up felt the perfect thing to do.

I first met Laura in the run up to 11:11:11 which we also celebrated at Stanton Drew, she had sent out a note to Children of the Sun members and it turned out we only lived half a mile from each other in Bristol. Since then we have kept in touch and link up from time to time.

I first connected with Hilary through her publisher O Books. At the time Hayley Wynne reviewed her book The 11.11 Code for the Magic of Being and as Hilary often visited her Mother who lives near Bristol we thought we might get together sometime for an interview. It was many years later I actually met Hilary so Hayley and I sent her some questions and we did a joint email interview (An Interview with Hilary Carter).

So back to today’s celebration. During our first Skype chat we three found the energy of the moment was very powerful and felt like a spiral of light that wanted to be grounded through us. Hilary suggested Stanton Drew and felt that the Equinox would offer the best opportunity to ground this wonderful energy.

It was only later that we read about how the numbers were lining up, how 11 would play a significant part in the day, and how important this day was (see Soluntra’s Cosmic Alert this month).

The ceremony started at the Cove in Stanton Drew and just as Hilary started to speak the Church bells chimed 11 times (OK we had agreed to meet there for 11, but as Hilary does not have a watch she did not know exactly when that would be, so to have the bells toll at the exact moment she started the ceremony was another sign we were on the right path).

We had agreed I would lead the procession in silence from the Cove to the Stones where we split into two groups, one group followed me anti-clockwise and the other went with Hilary clockwise around the stones. Laura in the meantime was at the centre holding the space.

At the moment we met on the circumference of circle to walk towards the centre I noticed it was exactly 11:11 a.m, that was the moment both groups came back together. Another wonderful sign for both of us, we just knew this was going to be an astonishing energy event.

As we formed a circle Hilary, Laura and myself positioned ourselves equally around the circle to create a triangle touching the circumference. The ceremony began and we called upon the energies of everyone’s higher aspects and those working with us to join us for this auspicious occasion.  We sounded a wonderful Om to start the proceedings and to synchronize our energy. The fun thing was that when Laura called to the four points of the compass she was 180 degrees out, facing North when calling to the South, and West when calling to the East (just as she had done in the 11:11:11 ceremony) – already we could feel the energy impacting our concentration.

I then walked in front of everyone connecting our hearts, one to one. Then we all connected to the one heart, and energy spiraled from source down to the centre of Gaia, through our hearts and then back to source, again through our connected heart centres.

Such a powerful sequence of energy, we could feel the spirals twisting and engaging with each of us, magical indeed.

Next we were inspired to split from the circle to form a triangle in the centre, everyone closing the circle behind us. We were aware we were keys for each other, ‘I carry the keys for you, you carry the keys for me’. So we called upon the energies of the moment to unlock each other, turning our keys energetically – that’s when I felt such a surge of energy I was shaking, the love flowing was so pure and clear, beautiful. Later Hilary said she was shaking too, so we knew we were carrying a very high vibration and bringing that into the earth, right in the centre of Stanton Drew stone circles.

Everyone in the circle helped stablise and channel this energy with us, it was such an honour to be there in that moment, such a joy.

Thank you everyone who came along, we even had people join us who were there for the earlier eclipse ceremony which was delightful, everything working in perfect synchronicity.

With Love,

Colin.
