Edgewalking and Scorpionic Energies

Well, the time of Halloween - All Hallowed Eve and All Saints Day, Shamhain, etc., is almost upon us. I'm eagerly looking forward to putting on a mask and heading out for adventure.

This morning, before i head off to the office adventure, i thought i'd copy and paste something that arrived in my mailbox today. It's about edgewalking and scorpio energies, with which i am becoming familiar. The theme that i wrote about in an earlier post about death before dying is tied in here with the scorpio mysteries as well.

Enjoy this Tidbit from the Shamanic Astrology group.


Here is an extra offering of the Celestial Timings in honor of Jupiter’s move into Scorpio…

Jupiter in Scorpio Edgewalking and Renewing Our Vision of Passion, Ecstasy, and Right Use of Will Oct 25, 2005 to Nov 24, 2006
The Scorpio Mantra… I Will, My Will, Be Thy Will

Edges are important
because they define a limitation
in order to deliver us from it.
When we come to an edge
we come to a frontier
that tells us that
we are now about to become more
than we have been before.
As long as one operates in the middle of things,
one can never really know
the nature of the medium in which one moves.

The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light William Irwin Thompson

”The unconditional Love of the Spirit is understood by many on Earth at present.There is another energy, though, that is also part of the Divine Creation, which has not yet been fully understood – the Divine Will. The Will expresses as feelings. The Spirit and the Will are partners in the body and must find their balance in the Heart.”

Right Use of Will
Healing and Evolving the Emotional BodyReceived by Ceanne DeRohan

Jupiter’s move into Scorpio on Oct 25, 2005 expands all shamanic themes of Death, Rebirth, Regeneration, Right Use of Will and Edgewalking. We are being invited to consciously walk the edges of what is dying and what is being birthed with opportunities for willfully (purposefully) creating a new paradigm ecstatically aligned with Divine Love and Divine Will. There is no one way to do this that is better than any other, however the process is more gracefully facilitated when we embrace what is unfolding while releasing any attachments to specific results.

Most of us will experience varying degrees of fear around the edges of what is changing. Although some may try to avoid these new unfamiliar edges the changes are already in motion and new edges - like new frontiers - are emerging. Edges are dividing lines between things or where one thing leaves off and another begins. There are edges between cultures, races, belief systems, paradigms, and people. There are edges to our homes, to our communities, to our differences, and to our choices. Everything has an edge and indeed everyone walks an edge of some kind. So why not choose to explore these edges with openness, curiosity, passion and awareness?

Conscious Edgewalking occurs when we seek out the edges of contemporary beliefs and existing paradigms, choosing to move beyond them, exploring and expanding into new passionately alive territory. Conscious Edgewalking requires willingness to walk the edges of old and new ways, bridging what has been with what is emerging, allowing death to embrace what is ready to die, creating space for new ideas, new ways, and new experiences to birth.

Another aspect of the Scorpio mysteries is connected to manifestation. When we allow ourselves to explore the edges of our known reality with passion and intensity we automatically move into new ecstatic territory alive with great magic and life force. It is this passion that guides us, allowing expressions of grace to permeate our experience. Scorpio’s passionate, intense life force energy has been greatly feared and repressed in recent historical times splitting us off from full on healthy connection with our emotional bodies creating depression, anxiety, anger and so on.

So the current conscious Scorpio edge further explores feelings in ways that are safe, effective and transformative, ultimately leading to new experiences of ecstasy and bliss. The best Scorpio manual addressing these issues I know of is the first half of the book Right Use of Will received by Ceanne DeRohan. This book describes how it was through misunderstanding that a split occurred between the Will and the Spirit. This caused many to believe their feelings (or their Will) was not acceptable and the practice of repressing feelings began. The book points out that, “…the Will of God is not in opposition to the Will of the individual…” When we are healthy our Will is automatically aligned with Divine Will. And the fastest way to heal and evolve the Will is to …”express everything you feel, and do not stop expressing, emotionally or otherwise, until you have really finished. You must not impose this on others that do not want it, for just as it is not spiritual balance to deny yourself in favor of others, it is not spiritual balance to deny others in favor of yourself either…” So, as Jupiter travels through the Scorpio Realm over the next 13 months this is an opportune time to give ourselves permission to explore and accept our feelings in ways that are safe and healthy while also supporting ecstatic growth. Finding safe healthy ways to clear the Will and all the emotional trauma it has been holding is often hugely overwhelming and it can greatly help to find skilled assistance. Any process work that provides a safe space for getting in touch with our deeper feelings such as breathwork, body oriented counseling, shamanic journeying, and whole being integration work can be powerfully supportive during this next year. I am including a link and information for process work I have found helpful (with more to be added later) for those who desire assistance in fully consciously walking these new ecstatic edges.
