Cranes
may be the oldest bird on earth. There is fossil evidence that they have existed more than 60 million years ago. There is a legend that the crane’s legs grow before its wings do, making for a bird with strong ties to the earth. They are, symbolically, creative creatures, being particularly famous for their extravagant dancing and the sandhill crane in particular, is known for it's singing, producing a range of vocalizations, from a sing loud warning call to the synchronized calls of a breeding pair and
a low, soft call to maintain contact while foraging. Male and female birds incubate eggs and parent together and find nourishment according to what they find available in the environment in which they find themselves.
This illumination this called "The Crane." It has been maybe 9 months from conception to completion, which was just this last weekend. The crane depicted here is not in it's original ancient form but has been augmented by a new infusion into the reality of Earth.
There are 6 seed rays encountering the Earth. Each ray is led by a hand.
There is an internal calligraphy to each of the 6 hands - the Hebrew word YESH -"there is" - spelled yud shin. Here is an example of the word YESH made into a cufflink:
If you notice, the hands at the helm of the 6 rays don't quite match the YESH above. It is a 4-branched shin along with the yud that forms the hands. The name of the 4 branched shin is Ha Ot - "the letter".
The 13th-century mystical text, the Sefer
HaTemunah speaks of a single letter of unknown pronunciation (such as the four-branched shin on one side of the head tefillin box) which is missing from the current alphabet. The distorted nature of the world is related to the absence of this letter. Its eventual
restoration will bring reparation to the world.
The theme of "six" is recurring. The Earth herself is composed of a six-fold geometry, an expression of "as above so below". Behind the cutwork is a piece of fabric with a watery photo of the earth taken from space. Water is another recurring theme - the seminal droplets of the rays, the Earth, the crane.
As I mentioned in the beginning, despite the simple elements of this illumination, it took an exceptionally long time to come to fruition. It wasn't until silver was added to all 3 elements that it came alive. That was somewhere around 2:30pm February 16 MST. May it signal the triggering of a new order and release of energies required to see us into a new era.
