Deeply immersed in preparations for Egypt

We are held in the wings of the Great Mother as we begin to soften and unfurl into our pilgrimage

Many things dissolving to allow the infusion of light codes awaiting us

Devotion to this path is my purpose

Rebirth in Myth and Cosmos: Seeing the World as Metaphor - part III of the Rebirth series.

Its time to take the explorations of rebirth into myth, cosmos and divine design. I'd love to share my learning and own explorations with you here...

Throughout all mythical knowledge of Egypt it is clear that the people of those times had a strong connection and relationship with the cosmos. Even richer myth shows that science, spirituality, and philosophy was simply the way of life to the ancients. Those alive lived to serve a greater purpose - a purpose connected to the whole. Nature, human, cosmos - a symbiotic relationship.

Egypt was an era of heightened wisdom and knowledge, and the soul - or the eternal life was the purpose of the individual. To ensure that life was lived in accordance with ma'at - the virtues and principles of being human. This assured safe passage into the field of reeds - what the Egyptians saw as the destination between this life and the next in the eternal evolution of the soul. The closest place to what would more modernly be seen as heaven. The opposite place was into the mouth of the god/dess Ammit where your soul was devoured and ceased to exist. Therefore, becoming good at living with purpose was rather important.

Those who understood the purpose of the temples and energies of those times created the reliefs that cover the temple walls. A large quantity of the depictions show the pharaoh making offerings to the gods and being reborn as the appointed guardian of the realm, who then has dominion over the gods and the worlds. The pharaoh was the human one in the spotlight, the way shower, the one who communed with the gods to know how best to serve his people.

One thing I hope you'll agree on with me is that history is open to interpretation. I believe this to be more than true when it comes to Ancient Egypt and the Neteru. Egypt is one of the very few remaining places on our planet where it is clear that the energy of the cosmos is pulsating through continuously. Even without having stepped foot there (in this lifetime) many of us feel the energy, the pull or call - the connection to something greater than us. My interpretation of the clues left for us, is that the feeling, pull or call is what the ancients want us to trust.

This doesn't mean that I disbelieve the history and remarkable discoveries - to the contrary - but what I do believe is that we must also feel for our personal message, our personal clues from these lands. And one of the clearest messages I see and have felt is that of rebirth. With contemplation it is clear to see that in life, we continuously die to be reborn. Just as the pharaoh, who died to his simple life to be reborn as a child of the gods - or as a god in human flesh. This is the journey of life. Change and renewal.

Everything in our lives is real, and it is metaphor, symbolic, and sublime. We live in a world where duality is our greatest lesson to master. Not to choose sides, but to learn the balance of - and/both. Therefore we must see that life gives us good experiences and bad experiences. There is a place for our light and our shadow. It is by living through all the experiences that we discover over and over again who we are. We use the bad experiences to shed the old, wake us up from a life no longer meant for us, the bad experiences shape us. The good experiences are where we are co-creating an existence that is beneficial to more than just ourselves. We apply all that we learn to further betterment and this leads to the greatest aspect of duality - seeing that we are spirit living in matter. That we are here to be both human and soul, to learn how to walk the harmonious path of opposition.

So what if the people of Khemet felt this message from the lands? What if they studied nature and saw this process and how important it is? Perhaps their attention was on what they could feel, and if that reflected what they saw, perhaps they were compelled to build temples where the energies were strongest. Perhaps they built temples that would house a certain frequency that related to a certain energy they also felt in their body. Perhaps they noticed that the sky mirrored the earth and that we are the stars that they looked up upon. We could even go as far to say, that the eras that followed such as the Greeks, Romans, Ptolemeic also built upon the sacred lands - temple upon temple, seedstone upon seed stone, to relay what they felt, saw and were in relationship with.

The River Nile closely resembles the curvature of the spine and of our Milky Way galaxy itself. The sky Mother Nut (pronounced noot or nuit) is depicted as a blue star filled body that arcs over the land and her husband Geb the earth god. The two were so in love that they remained entwined for an eternity. Ra sent Shu the god of air to hold them apart because from the separation of the lovers of earth and sky came the greatest creations of all. Isis, Osiris, Elder Horus, Nephthys and Set. The very beings that tell us the best tale of the ultimate sacrifice for eternal rebirth.

When Set tore his brother Osiris into 14 pieces Isis, and Nephthys set out to find all of them. One story tells that everywhere they found a piece of Osiris a temple was erected. Each temple was created as a contribution to a great whole - the rebirth of Osiris.

Grief, passion, love and devotion are strong intentions. Is it possible that Isis and Nephthys' feeling for Osiris created an eternal pulsation of renewal throughout the lands of Khemet? That from a bad situation, something good was becoming?

History is open to interpretation. Myth, is a story laced with metaphor. I have noticed that each time I return to the story of Osiris I feel something different. Could it be that I have died and been reborn since the last time I felt the energy of this myth? Yes, many times. Each time I feel a starting point reappear, I feel a call to return to the wisdom of my body and chakras. Usually a realignment is required, sometimes I can do it myself, other times I need a guide or space holder for the gentle piecing back together. Like Isis did to Osiris. Sometimes it is simple and quick, other times it is a longer process.

Interestingly, the milky way galaxy is made up of arms, a central nucleus with curved bands of constellations which astronomers have named. The arm we are located within is the Orion Arm, or Orion spur. At certain times of the year, depending on your location it is possible to view the the centre of the milky way galaxy which is the image we most relate to - the resemblance to the Nile river comes from our view of the central column of our galaxy. What makes this even more interesting is that the star Sirius, Egyptian name Sodpet was so important to the Ancient Egyptians and was referred to as the soul of Isis or Isis in the sky. When we look for Sirius in the night sky, the easiest way to do so is to first search for Orion's belt, then see Sirius rising as if following Orion. Orion in many references to the ancients is seen as Osiris in the sky, and Isis is seen to be following him into the underworld (over the western horizon). The stars disappear from view for 70 days which happens to be the number of days given to the funerary rites of Osiris. The length of time that the people mourned his second death. The inundation of the Nile river at the time we see Sirius rising in July/August is spoken of in some myths as the tears of Isis at the sorrow of the death of Osiris.

Each myth or story of Isis and Osiris is woven with the energy of resurrection, the rebirth. We see it in two forms - Osiris who does not return to life fully, but instead leaves the earth plane but is alive in his Light body, every Egyptian in ancient times lived to become Osiris - that is, to become eternal. To live beyond human life.

Horus was the fruit of immaculate conception - when Isis and Nephthys re-membered Osiris, Isis used her magic to conjour the seeds of life from Osiris and became pregnant with Horus. This part of the mythic-story is where the concept of remembering who we are comes from.

Through the initiatory process of death-rebirth we go through the separation of who we were, we are torn apart like Osiris, then we become Isis, mourning the loss of what was whilst walking the liminal space discovering what is left of us, what works and what doesn't. Piece by piece we remember who we are, from what remains. And what we actually discover is that we had everything we needed within us all along. The death-rebirth initiation revealed more of this to us. It took us through a deeper awakening.

Slowly, by moving through the death-rebirth journey over and over we begin to notice the feeling of a familiar rhythm - the feeling of the natural laws, the ebb and flow of the current of life and what we discover as we ride it.

By using the metaphor, symbology and subtle energy guiding us we come into deeper relationship with nature and cosmos through a deeper relationship with ourselves, and the wisdom held in our body.

Using metaphor we can tap into the concept of the Nile being like the Spine of light within us - the chakra column. We can open the chakras like unlocking a gate, crossing a threshold through the body accessing the subtle energy from the chakras, like we would at the temples. The body is our temple. Metaphorically and metaphysically walking through it, into the temples of the chakras we move into deeper wisdom. Through an internal and symbolic rebirth. We listen to the wisdom we have gained which has made us become anew.

The chakras are a system, much like the nervous system, digestive system, cardiovascular system - each of these systems has its own job which contributes to the whole. Sound familiar as to the principles of living for the ancients?

So how would it feel and what would it look like if we began to look for the ways in which we can intentionally create, walk and sit in the energy of natural laws and principles. To see them playing out in our lives?

Could you then begin to see that they already are? They are the daily experiences, relationships and catalysts that shape us, they are the actions and thoughts we have. If we were to take some time to see life through the macro-micro lens to see where the the cosmos (or universe) is guiding you and working through you, we would all find a simplicity to the ebbs and flows we are moving through and we would navigate the world, our body and our spiritual nature differently.

Have you ever closed your eyes to meditate, expecting stillness, yet instead you find yourself guided to go on a wild inner journey? Perhaps you are flying over a desert to end up swimming in lava, to then be stood speaking with a guide or plant or animal? The inner world interactions are how we see the cosmos within us. They are there to support our transitions and initiations, such as a death-rebirth within life.

In the next writing I will give you a glimpse into the journey we will take as we walk through Egypt in November. The pilgrims walking with me have been preparing themselves and are feeling deep initiatory processes beginning. As we move through sacred ancient lands, through temples that activate and awaken, we will be doing so with a conscious rebirth as our intention. We will be walking through the temples and the body in a sequence shown and confirmed to me as a rebirth pathway.

Thank you for reading and I encourage you to ask me any questions or leave any comments about what may have risen for you as you have been reading this. I am also putting together a list of resources (books, speakers, ways to access ancient wisdom within) if you would like to receive this please let me know.

There is still a small window of time to join us on the Wings of Isis Egypt Pilgrimage, read more here: https://www.lightofthesoul.co.uk/egypt-spiritual-tour

Rebirth Blog series part II

Rebirth is a natural part of the cosmos, meaning it is a natural process.

A scientific process, as well as a physical and spiritual one too.

I briefly mentioned the death-rebirth cycle in my previous post, how the two are always interconnected.

So here I will dive deeper into this with the intention of it bringing clarity to many parts of your life.

Are you familiar with the concept of the macrocosm and the microcosm? How the same process happens on a grand and minute scale, and everywhere in between.

A good example of this is how we are the vessels of change - when we shift our frequency - we also shift the frequency of our planet.

The Earth shifts and we shift.

The Earth is the macrocosm and we are the microcosm going through the same process.

The macrocosm is the whole. The microcosm is the part.

It is the link to the axiom "as above, so below".

Back to the death-rebirth cycle:

The natural world shows us the many ways that cyclical rhythm is present -
the seasons, a day, a year, the sun, the moon - all have phases.

We see this around us everywhere in nature, and how the whole is made up of the parts of the cycle, and how each part of the cycle has its process that contributes to the whole….

Walking a conscious rebirth into a higher version of yourself:

At times in our lives we are called to travel to sacred sites, to connect to the wisdom of our planet, and the cosmos, to receive codes, and to support our beloved Mother Earth in her own up-levelling in consciousness by tuning into and mapping out the crystalline blueprint with her, and us.

If you have ever visited Glastonbury, Avebury, Stone Henge, the many sacred wonders of the world - you will have felt the stillness and harmony that comes over and through you when you tune into the ageless energies available at such places.

Many of these sacred places, such as Egypt, could be viewed as a vast network of energetic sites, a hub of temples that hold templates of frequencies and wisdom.

When we visit sacred sites an interaction takes place. Yes we are there to feel and receive the energies, but we also play a role as I mentioned before - of supporting the changes in the blueprint of Earth - the grids, the ley lines.

On another layer of interaction we have our personal intentions for our visit, be that known, or the intuitive call to follow a knowing to go to the sites.

Exchange happening on many layers and waves of frequency.

When we interact in this way - with reciprocity and intention, we deepen into the expansiveness that is available, and we are a part of the shift in consciousness that takes place.

This is why so many take offerings to the lands, it is our way of giving love and gratitude for the sacred exchange taking place, even though we may not see the outcome of the interaction straight away.

Imagine how we can create, or, co-create with our light teams and our planet when we live life this way.

Intuitively responding to a call from the Earth or Light Beings.

Living in reciprocity with Mother Earth and all places and beings.

Walking and living with intention.

I'll leave you fill your own responses to those thoughts...

With this as the topic of today's musings I feel called to share my story and intention about my Egypt pilgrimage.

The focus of the Wings of Isis pilgrimage is Rebirth. This is the seeded intention infused and emanating from me, and the sacred container that this journey is.

The concept of death-rebirth is a universal truth. From death comes new life. Creating something new means the end of the old.

If we listen and look deeper into nature and the nature of the cosmos we can see the cycle of death-rebirth everywhere.

When we look deeper we can begin to see the ways in which we as humans figuring out this experience we call life, unintentionally block the natural process for ourselves.

Not everyone needs a pilgrimage to Egypt to unlock codes of rebirth and renewal, but some of us will. Many of us will at some point in our lives.

Others will walk the process more consciously in their own lives.

Others will simply hear the cosmic wisdom within my story below - the similarity that it shares with your own, that will be enough to awaken the keys you need to embrace and begin your own rebirth into higher consciousness.

I believe that our stories are the keys we share with one another that help us to unlock codes, wisdom and memory from within...

When I travelled to Egypt in 2023 I had one intention in my heart - to return my Mother to her birth place.

I began exploring trips and ways to travel to Egypt, and it became clear that I also had to walk my own pilgrimage. To come home to myself, to figure out who I was because my life was unrecognisable. Then an email appeared in my inbox with the exact journey I needed.

My Mother sent it, I know. The journey even began on the one year anniversary of the crossing over.

Grief is a fascinating process, it is rich with wisdom when you move through the dis-pare and unravelling, when you are separated from someone in this way - you are also separated in yourself. The gentlest thing you can do for yourself is let the piecing back together take its own course. Go with the ups and downs as much as possible. Hide away when you need to.

The time came to leave for Egypt and I was leaving a mess behind for my husband to hold. A renovation beginning, a new kitten that turned out to be deaf, all on top of three children of very different ages all needing different things.

But I wasn't the Gemma I was, I was in a liminal space, and in this moment of my life, I had to take my Mother home and walk a path where I mapped out the ways to piece myself back together - even it if took another five years to see it manifest.

I just had to follow the deep inner knowing and inner calling.

As I journeyed through Egypt I came alive in ways I didn't recognise, like future selves speaking to me.

This was paired with the many memories I had of the many visits to Cairo with my Mother and Grandfather. My first hotel room even overlooked the (now closed) hotel we used to stay at when we visited.

And how familiar the air smelt, even though it had been 14 years since my last visit to Cairo.

The past and the future were shaping me.

The Neteru - the pantheon of gods and goddesses of Egypt have always been my guides, I just didn't realise it so clearly until 2020. Then it all became crystal clear.

In a short space of time I remembered them, I saw all of the ways they had been present in my life since I was very young. I saw how they had held the ties of Egypt with my family until the moment I was ready to see them in this way.

Since I dedicated myself to this deep remembrance I have found my own unique way to see and understand the metaphor, symbolism and magic of the cosmos and of living. The challenge and the joy. The loss and the renewal. The cyclical nature of Being.

And I dedicate myself daily to this continual path of learning, being, and living.

Egypt is steeped in mystery, magic and wisdom.

Like three sides of a triangle - mystery, magic and wisdom create life.

What I didn't realise until months after that visit is that walking those sacred lands whilst torn wide open by grief, I had allowed the very core of my being to be touched by the magic, mystery and wisdom of the cosmos through Egypt.

I had no idea at the time.

I walked and cried.

I nestled into the soft voice of our guide as we sat in meditation at the temples.

I shared my 40th birthday inside the pyramid of Unas with a group of people that had started as strangers but felt like friends and family overnight.

Something like that, a deep vulnerable inner knowing and outer following is the mystery, magic and wisdom of life.

It isn't clear from the get go. It is to be felt and figured out.

I remember standing on the deck of the Nile boat speaking with the guide of our tour, we had returned from one of the temples and I felt nourished and alive.

Without knowing what I was about to say I told him that I would be back here bringing groups of people like this.

As soon as the words left my mouth I felt small and expansive all at once. The mystery, magic and wisdom moving through my veins.

This November those words become manifest.

Little did I know how true they resonated in that moment.

And little did I know that I was up for this role.

But here I am.

Walking the life of mystery, magic and wisdom. Following the cycles of shedding and renewing.

Following the way laid out by others.

Opening the way for those who feel called.

I am a deep and introspective woman. The journey here has been as low as it has been high. I hold myself to a very high standard. My inner critic is worse than Simon Cowell and Alan Sugar put together.

Yet here I stand. Here I am with a group of women who have heard the call in their hearts.

And this is the reason.

The Call.

The inner knowing, the messages in the winds, in dreams.

The teachings from the Neteru that have played out to ready those who hear that inner call for this journey.

The teachings of walking from the old life, the old you. Through the liminal space where you are fragmented and nothing makes sense. Into the new you - your rebirth.

If you want to learn more and walk this journey I will be writing about Egypt and the Rebirth journey over the coming days. Stay tuned as the words unfold.

I have also been guided to share the pilgrimage in two ways. More coming on this soon.

New Blog:

We are all just living the Spiritually-Human Life

The time to travel to Egypt once again is drawing closer. I can feel the humming in my heart and the whispers of the guides & elemental's who are preparing the journey with me.

They sometimes speak through the funniest of ways - water running out of the tap, or when the hairdryer blows past my ear - reminding me of the sacredness we are more constantly living every day.

Bast has been with me recently, she is one of my personal allies, when something is in creation but feels blocked, she is always able to help me see the obstacle I am facing.

Part of the obstacle I asked her to help me with was to do with my upcoming Wings of Isis Egypt pilgrimage - Bast had to remind me to pause and look back, to see that I have created this.

When we initiate a creation - a new business, a new home, having a baby, we also initiate great change into our lives to help us to prepare for all that is required of us when the creation comes to fruition.

With this Egypt journey my changes have caused me challenge in ways that are administrative, logistical, and quite honestly, has made me have to be the solidity of my own foundations whilst building many parts of my life in new ways.

If I had known the challenges that would have presented I wouldn't have embarked on this Egypt journey, this year - but that's the paradox isn't it? The challenges have only been here because I said yes to something that felt bigger than me but absolutely essential that I follow and do.

For the past few years there have been so many parts of my life that have needed a re-build. In January I genuinely believed the rebuilding phase was complete, but no, I was so wrong, my guides had other ideas.

They told me that I had to be seen as me, as Gemma Jones, they told me that Light of the Soul was a creation that walked me through to this next phase and that if I hesitated I would delay many things for myself.

What they didn't tell me is that by changing my website, emails, social media - basically all channels that connect me to the world for my work - that I would literally disappear of the radar for a while! Somewhat self inflicted (because of my perfectionism to silly details when it comes to tech!)

It has been a huge lesson, one I know I initiated as those challenges. I let myself get too comfortable in the space where no one can see me, I like being there. It's where I do my best work. The silence, the stillness, the space to hear, see and feel the whispers of the invisible realms and beings.

But how can I be their channel and voice if I choose to stay in the quiet spaces with them?

My decision - to quietly come back online, quietly re-enter the world, like a squint-eyed bear after a long winter. Feeling and retreating, sharing my words when it feels right and where it feels right. I will not let the fast paced world of the internet and social media scoop me up and carry me. It just isn't my flow.

This realisation, is nothing new, but what is different is a stronger capacity of ownership - to know that it is entirely my responsibility and work to stay in my rhythm and my flow.

And to own, that sometimes, it means disappearing from 'the world' into my 'own world' - whether that is the world of my daughter and family, or the world of my work with my guides.

These are the places that replenish me.

These are the places where I incubate and become. I have just simply needed way more time within these places.

And quite honestly I feel that we have all needed more of this in our lives. The recent years have definitely made us see that time for retreat and replenishment before stepping out into the world is so important.

So then, from my pause with Bast I saw that even though I have been focusing on all of the parts of my life and behaviours that I felt were wrong, or causing me challenge, I had actually being doing all of this:

First and foremost I am a Mother to a beautiful and amazing cosmic seedling daughter who is flourishing in her own little world.

I am a wife, family member, and after some tough years, we have all needed to see and learn each other all over again.

I have taught 8 remarkable women both energy healing & sacred space facilitation and heart way shamanic training for the past 18 months. I watched them feel the energy and expand into blooming flowers, ready to walk their next paths, and I totally overlooked that in doing this I wrote a book and a course!

Yes I had to pull away from somethings. Yes I had to prioritise.

So now I see why perhaps I felt that I had taken on a journey to Egypt at the wrong, but so right time!

All of this has been my training, some of it has felt like it has taken me in the wrong direction, pulled my focus away from where it was needed, but Bast reminded me of how important it is to let the inner work do its thing.

People have booked because we all felt the call, the inner knowing to walk this rebirth journey together.

The vision has shifted and reshaped - itself, and me. And I am divinely grateful for that.

The Egypt journey now summarises all that has held my focus and attention. Like I am ever so nearly there in seeing the puzzle pieces all together.

The Rebirth aspect of this journey is for all of us.

Not just those who are walking through Egypt with me, for every Soul on the planet.

We are all re-birthing, shifting form and shape, in our light body, our mental body, and our emotional body.

The physical aspect houses and follows this wisdom. What a remarkable vessel.

This is the reason for retreat and replenishment - this is our integration and calibration time.

This is the new human evolving messily into a newer higher octave of form.

Many of us have been dancing, stumbling, and discovering through our own version of this.

I have simply followed the call of my heart and my guides, the inner knowing that Egypt always fills me with.

I have been connected with this land since my Mother was conceived there, my heart is woven with inner knowings of this sacred place.

So I follow through the challenges and feel the threads of all the parts of who I am and where I go - in this world, the inner worlds and the higher realms.

Just as we are all doing in our humanly-spiritual way.

Bast reminded me that nothing is ever gone, only ever dormant, in its own quiet place of replenishment and calibration, ready for the next time to spiral back round and feel it again.

Trying it on for size in its new form after a well needed rest.

Our creations need that too, just as we do. This is how we align with them and carry them forward. This is manifesting at the higher octaves of frequency. It's about the alchemy of the process and the expression comes when the time is right.

Does this resonate with you?

I had to step away from writing here too, part of the process. The spiralling round. This feels expansive and wonderful to write here once again in an open hearted way.

Stay tuned for more posts this week about Egypt. About the Rebirth journey, the Temples we will be visiting and how you can come along on the journey with us if you feel called.

Solar Eclipse & Equinox ceremony 💫🔥🤍

What is releasing:

Old stories, patterns, beliefs - those things that worked once will not hold the new foundations you’ve built.

Generations of sadness, grief, despair, displacement, loneliness, unnecessary independence, low self belief, smallness….all pouring out through you on this potent wave in the portal opening.

See this as a reminder of the earthly and cosmic vessel that you are.

What is birthing:

It isn’t completely new, it is something familiar that you’ve been busy creating for some time.

The concept of the Ka comes to mind - this subtle body, our etheric double. The Ka has been building the new for sometime…

This birthing moment is more the infusion of what has now come to completion in your etheric body,

This is the result of the tireless process of dissolving, fragmenting, healing, rebuilding, realigning with what is destined as your higher path of potential.

This birthing moment is the outcome of your deep remembering, embodying and bringing yourself into being.

This birthing is more familiar, like finding yourself once again.

How are the energies moving for you? Let me know in the comments 👇
