The Circle of Light and Shadow
Introduction
In the infinite dance of light and shadow we are as sparks of the Divine. We are gods and goddesses, fragments of the Eternal Source, connected by the breath of life. In this ritual we honor the four sacred directions, the archangels who guard them, and the deep lessons of betrayal and loyalty to our true Self. We also call upon the Black Madonna, the guardian of hidden wisdom.
The Four Directions and Archangels
Stand in the center of a circle. Breathe deeply and let your intention be pure. Take a bundle of sage, incense or palo santo in your hand to cleanse the space.
1. East – Archangel Raphael (Sky)
Turn to the east. Light the cleansing herb and let the smoke rise gently.
"I invite you, Archangel Raphael, bringer of healing and clarity. Fill this space with purity and air. Protect and guide us."
2. South – Archangel Michael (Fire)
Turn clockwise to the south.
"Archangel Michael, guardian of strength and courage, come into this circle. Light the fire of protection and truth in our hearts."
3. West – Archangel Gabriel (Water)
Turn west.
"Gabriel, messenger of wisdom and emotion, purify our words and feelings. Bring us clarity in our dreams."
4. North – Archangel Uriel (Earth)
Turn north.
"Uriel, light of God, anchor us to the earth. Let us find wisdom and stability in your presence."
The Center – The Black Madonna
Stand still in the center of the circle. Bring your hands to your heart.
"I invite you, Black Madonna, bearer of hidden wisdom and mother of shadows. Open the gates of the invisible and let your light shine on that which is hidden. Madonna Sophia, crown from the house of Metatron, may I know your code?"
The Lesson of Betrayal
Close your eyes and whisper:
"Beside us stands Judas, the voice of betrayal, the mirror of faithlessness. But in this betrayal lies the supreme lesson: the realization that we must not deny ourselves the light. We are sparks of the Source, born of the same substance. I honor this lesson and embrace my divinity."
Closing Ritual: Lighting the Inner Star
Supplies:
• A white candle (for purity)
• A black candle (for shadow and hidden wisdom)
• Sage, frankincense or palo santo
• Crystal or stone (preferably obsidian or rock crystal)
Execution:
1. Cleaning:
Light the sage, incense or palo santo. Let the smoke circle around you and purify your energy.
2. Lighting candles:
First light the white candle. Say:
“This is the light of my divine being.”
Then light the black candle. Say:
"This is the shadow that leads me to hidden wisdom."
3. Setting Intention:
Hold the crystal or stone in your hands. Whisper your intention or question softly into the stone.
“May this serve as a bridge between light and shadow, between my soul and the Source.”
4. Closing:
Take a deep breath and speak:
*"The circle is hallowed, the path is lighted. I am light and shadow, one with all. So it is."
Let the candles burn out safely or extinguish them with respect.
The Power of Words and Divine Harmony
Words have the power to change our inner world. A simple sentence like “I am safe” can have a profound impact when spoken with genuine conviction and feeling. The secret to a powerful affirmation lies in truly believing what you are saying. Without feeling and belief, words remain meaningless. It is essential to transform doubt into trust, for only then can the divine light within us shine fully.
Throughout time, countless prophets have appeared with a clear message of love, connectedness, and enlightenment. “You are us, as we are you.” Unfortunately, human history has often betrayed these messengers and distorted their message. Imagine what the world would be like if everything and everyone was seen as sacred. How beautiful and harmonious life would be? The original intention was always connectedness.
Once upon a time there were Adam Kadosh and Eve Kadosha, sacred embodiments of life itself. Life was given as a sacred gift. The rest is history, but now it is all about the future. It is not too late. Angels return to Earth to support. When Earth experiences pain, human hearts feel it too. Yet the path to healing is easy to find.
This path is embodied by the 11 ancient codes: the tree of life that is anchored in every soul. All man needs to do is awaken. The 11 Madonna Codes symbolize the feminine energy of the goddess in every soul, while the 11 Joshua Codes represent the masculine energy of the god in every soul. These keys bring balance and connectedness.
We call upon you: remember who you really are. When you embrace this truth, everything will unfold naturally. Every person who is willing to carry the light, together with others, will open heaven on earth.
