On Saturday, I received a clear message from the Elementals of the River Itchen. It's probably all those rings I've been throwing in there for the last few years. Lost another one today, too!
This time, I was 'instructed' to go to Wi******er City Mill to receive an attunement to the water elementals there.
They're not usually that direct, but I wasn't complaining. I love receiving attunements.
When we got there, we went out the back to where the river separates and wandered beneath the banana trees. I didn't feel much, so we had tea and scones. Of course.
Afterwards, while we pottered around the second-hand books, I felt the need to go outside. I thought we had to go to the main part of the river; instead, the connection had to be made right outside the door, where the water emerged from beneath the mill.
This was tricky because people were moving past us and stopping beside us to look into the water. This challenged my self-consciousness because I was recording it.
The water elementals appeared in the water. They were pale-skinned with long, slender bodies and long, dark hair and moved with the water in a joyful dance.
They placed a bubble of water around my field, which allowed me to access their world. My consciousness went into the water, facing them, and they placed a water sphere on the riverbed between us. They placed their energy in the sphere as little replicas of themselves. They said they were gifting this because I had given them my rings without holding them back.
At that point, I thought, 'Uh oh.' I knew what was coming.
They found that release joyful. Giving. Not holding on. Just letting go. Remembering that they are only objects in a world of objects. Eventually, all goes back to nature.
And yes, another ring went into the water. A gift for a gift. This time it was my thumb ring, green and blue. They wanted that one because of the colours. What a relief, I thought, because I had stupidly worn a good silver one, and I wasn't quite ready to relinquish that one yet!
My consciousness re-entered my body, and now I had the sphere with all the elementals in it swimming around in my auric field.
It felt like it would bring fluidity, movement and change, and they said, 'Share it wisely. It will bring change to whoever carries it.'
So, let's see what happens.
