Correspondences for the Month of Elul⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I call Elul the moon of Making Space.Each month of the Jewish year is packed with rich correspondences for sacred arts and spiritual alignment/growth.⠀Most of these come from one book - the Sefer Yetzirah. It is one of the most ancient mystical/magickal texts in Jewish tradition, far older the kabbalah. It is also from a different school than kabbalah, but the original kabbalists did pull aspects of their philosophy/theology from it.The alignment of the elements with the seasons comes from Rabbi & Rav Kohenet Jill Hammer’s - The Jewish Book of Days. There she teaches that each season has an inner and outer element - the one in need and the one of abundance. Using the classical symbols for the elements, paired with this teaching, provides the opportunity for the creation of a new series of sigils. Above the woman (symbol for Betulah/Virgo) is the sigil I created for Air within Earth which are the inner and outer elements of the season.⠀⠀⠀⠀One of the correspondences that the founders of Kohenet Kohenet: The Hebrew Priestess Institute, developed early on, is aligning the Netivot with the Months of the Year.Our Netivah (singular) of Elul is the Tzovah or Shrinekeeper - here shown in her three suits from the Eht/Aht: a Netivot Wisdom Oracle deck: Vessel, Offering, Ally.⠀In my #NamingtheMoons I call Elul the Moon of Making Space. That is the gift of the Tzovah! The transformation of any space into a sacred one.The amazing YA recently posted on IG about the month of Elul saying this, “As we call to our beloved on the field, we call to the return of our beloved within ourselves. As we clear the space, and we let things be we make space to see the lovely within. And tending the shrine that we are. "⠀⠀This is the essence of the Tzovah. Elul is also a gateway month between the year that was and the year that will be, and the Tzovah can also be understood as the guardian of the gateway.⠀⠀Want more?For more on the month of Elul see: https://www.patreon.com/posts/20731608(Patrons only)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Like what you see? ⠀Support this work at http://patreon.com/devotaj_arts⠀⠀ -- source link
