A series of Global Chakra Workings are being progressively performed at each of Gaia(the Earth as a living entity)'s chakra sites beginning October 1999 organized by (but not exclusive to) The HermAphroditic ChAOrder of the Silver Dusk. These group rituals -five ofwhich have already occurred - help activate the kundalini of participants and open their chakras at the sacred sites upon our planet which resonate with each of these- in ritual microcosmic resonance with Gaia's own moving Kundalini. The GLOBAL AJNA (Third Eye) CHAKRA WORKING is now being organized for an area near Kurdzhali in Bulgaria (which was a part of Thrace in the Ancient World), with rituals at The Perperikon (ruins of 8000 year old Dionysos temple), Tatul (Grave of Orpheus) Dionysian Womb-Cave. Photos from scouting mission below: Aside from the feeling of these places, the Ajna association comes through the Ancient God of divine intoxication, Dionysos, who wields a pine-cone-tipped Thyrsus staff. The shape and eye-matrix pattern of the pine-cone is similar to that of the pineal gland within the centre of the human skull, which is responsible for our inner visionary capacity. The Ajna Chakra Working has now been consolidate as occurring on the June Solstice 2012. A free base between the sites for encampment and off-site group work has been established; and the rituals will run from the 19th-24th June at various sacred sites in the area. Those wishing to potentially participate directly (ie. on-location) in this ritual are requested to email Orryelle at odxob@yahoo.com. So far we have seven participants. The working is open to anyone with an applied interest (though not necessarily a lot of experience) in magical self-development practices (yoga, pranayama/breath-work, harmonic chanting, astral work) and exploring sacred sites. Information on how to participate translocally (from other countries) in groups or as individuals in the global ritual will be put up on this site in May. This ritual is also linked to the ongoing Orpheus Working. Following is a synopsis of the Vision behind the Global Chakra Workings then links to extensive illustrated accounts of those that have been performed thus far: The great awakening of the Serpent of the Earth is prophesied in many ancient cultures: The Australian Aborigines say the Rainbow Serpent, Almudj, rises at the end of Time. This is also the great serpent of their Creation myths, the ancient 'Dreamtime'; The Norse have the Midgard Serpent, who also rises at 'Ragnarok' -the 'end of the world'; to the Greeks he is Ouroboros the snake which bites its own tail; and to the Babylonians Tiamat ('serpent of Chaos who sleeps at the bottom of the ocean of time') who was divided into sections (creating linear time) by the sword of the Solar Hero Marduk, and shall eventually return to wholeness (fluidtime/dreamtime). Is this rising of the Great Serpent the kundalini or pranic energy of the Earth Herself? The symbology of the Mayan version -Kukulcan or Quetzalcoatl the plumed or feathered serpent seems to suggest this with its form echoing the Ancient Greek healing Caduceus wand of Hermes and the parallel symbology of the Ida and Pingala nadis (energy channels in the body) of the Hindu Tantras. Almost every ancient culture in the world also has serpents representing the Creation and Beginning of Time, so it is implicit that this coming 'End' of Time as we know it is somehow also the Beginning, as the great Serpent bites its own tale in a Cosmic Moebius Strip loop... Since the initial vision of performing progressive rituals at each of the earth's chakra centres, I wondered who else might be already doing such work and discovered (via a wordsearch on Gaia's chakras) Robert Coon's Chalice of Life site (which now seems to have disappeared), wherein he maps out the routes of the female Rainbow Serpent and the male Feathered Serpent entwining through the sacred sites (7 chakras, 4 elemental wheels, etc.) of the Earth. Similar global chakra schemes by others only vary in one or two locations. Personally I believe there could be several of any of them, since the earth's body is not the same as a human one. These sites are however powerful places which do resonate with the corresponding chakras in humans from my direct experience and those of others I have worked with at them, and this is what is important for this work.
