Pisces 12

One of the places in literature where this image is found is in the last part of “Die Walkure,” where the Valkyrie Brunhilde is placed in a ring of flames by the king of the Gods, Wotan. She is to sleep there until a person with the requisite courage comes who has the power to rescue her. She, like the archaeological find of the Omega Symbol is, in a sense, being kept secret where she sleeps, high on a mountain.

On another level, this woman is the Shekinah, the Kabbalistic female spirit of one’s own wisdom, each one of us being the hero who will eventually pass through the frightening flame barrier of our own ego to wake her and unite with her.

Through total rest, through deep sleep and merging with pure being an alchemy is allowed to work and to draw to itself whatever will awaken it to a new world.

You may experience an intense yearning but not be able to define what it is that you yearn for. You carry within yourself a secret which, in lower stages of development, you may not even be aware of. This secret is the knowledge that the perfection you seek is there, waiting, within, and will inevitably be discovered. This is the source of the mysterious patience and hope you bring to whatever you contact.

The archaeological find of the Omega Symbol is actually your true self, which in fact you never lost, but which, until enlightenment, you’re keeping secret from yourself.
