9 MINUTE READ
I was sitting on the couch, trying to capture the wisdom of the world.
It seemed to flow through my pen, answering every question I’d ever had, telling me a story that somehow made all the world make sense.
Could it be true?
Or is it just a story in my mind?
I wondered as a booming voice told me it was true. But you will doubt its veracity. You will treat it just like a story, and that’s okay.
Maybe it’s even better — to doubt.
Still, the signs appear as if sent from above to tell me — believe, believe, BELIEVE.
☆
Two days before publishing the last chapter, I heard its title in my mind and placed it on the page: “The Keepers of Heaven.”
I figured the phrase must already be in use, somewhere in the world, and so, I googled it — “Keepers of Heaven” — and that’s when I learned about a star, 36.7 light years from the planet Earth.
It is the fourth brightest star in the sky, and its name — Arcturus — comes from the Greek for “bear guard,” but in Arabic, it is named something else: Haris-el-sema, a.k.a. the Keeper of Heaven.
It’s located near the tail of Ursa Major, at a point in the sky aligned with twenty-four degrees Libra.
And last fall, on October 14, there was a ring of fire eclipse. It burned at that very point, appeared to consume the Keeper of Heaven in flames.
It was a Libra new moon eclipse, and it paved the way for the Libra full moon eclipse happening now. The first of two eclipses ushering us into spring.
☆
This is the end of an era.
The start of the next.
☆
A week before the equinox, I was lying in bed, watching an old episode of The X-Files. I never watched the show when it aired, so the episode was new to me.
It focused on near-death experiences and mentioned something about how wristwatches stop working on people who’ve experienced them.
I immediately wondered, Is that true? Or just part of the story?
A quick google led me to this paper, published in 2015 by researchers at the University of Virginia: Electromagnetic Phenomena Reported by Near-Death Experiences.
According to the results of the study, people who’ve had near-death experiences (NDEs) do seem to generate or channel an electromagnetic field that both affects and reacts to their environment differently than the average person. The study also found that the higher someone scored on the NDE scale (apparently there’s a range of near-death experiences), the more electromagnetic aftereffects they experienced.
As I read this, I immediately recalled my own strange electromagnetic experiences:
Like the day in March 2020 when my TV turned on as I walked in front of it. I spotted the remote resting on a table seven feet away and wondered what was happening. Out of curiosity, I walked in front of the TV again, and when I did, it turned itself off. And so, I passed back and forth, back and forth, and with each passing of my body, the TV turned itself on and off. No one else was home.
Then there was the time, seven months later, when I performed a ritual at the base of a tree. Six days later, when I returned to the tree, a flock of fifty pigeons flew straight at me. Their beating wings filled the air with such force I wondered if I should run or duck, but instead, I stood still, and they landed in a circle around me. (Pigeons have magnetic particles in their beaks and are particularly sensitive to EM fields.)
Then there was the week I felt this strange sensation in my body and struggled to sleep and later learned that simultaneously, the sun was emitting powerful solar flares (which form intense magnetic fields). And now, I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve felt that same feeling, have checked the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s space weather system and seen that the sun was flaring. In fact…it happened just this week. While writing this. I felt the same specific sensation I always feel, like my body is vibrating from the inside out, and checked the NOAA, and sure enough, a G1 solar storm was hitting the earth.
Then of course there was that period of time when I had vision after vision of cylindrical portals opening between the earth and the sky, shooting up like beacons of golden sunlight, and then — eleven months after the visions started — I learned that there are indeed portals between the earth and the sun. These magnetic portals are known as “flux transfer events,” and they mysteriously open every eight minutes. The scientific renderings look almost identical to what I saw in my mind.
But prior to these events, I’d never had a near-death experience. (Unless it happened in my sleep and I had no idea.)
But what I had had were countless experiences of being in a bright tunnel of light, of allowing that light to move through me, and of seeing and experiencing what seems to be another realm — a heavenly realm.
And I can’t help but wonder if maybe people who’ve almost died have also encountered this place, and perhaps there are ways to touch it without almost dying, and perhaps regardless of how you get there, it can alter the way you affect and react to EM fields.
☆
In the days following The X-Files episode, I kept thinking about the pigeons.
I thought about them because the ritual I’d done then was for a Libra moon.
It was on October 16, 2020. And that moon? It was at twenty-four degrees Libra, at the same place as the Keeper of Heaven.
And that’s when I realized that this Eclipse Season, from March 25 to April 22, mirrors the inverse of that world-changing time in 2020 when Covid-19 was flying like an invisible force around the planet, causing people to close their doors as it crossed their path.
On March 24, 2020, there was an Aries new moon at the same place as this Libra full moon eclipse, and on April 8, 2020, there was a Libra full moon at the same place where the Aries new moon eclipse is happening next month (on April 8).
But while we closed our doors then.
Now, they will open.
They will open.
☆
There is something inside us that we closed off in response to the pandemic. It wasn’t one of the big obvious things (our homes, our faces). It was something deeper, and the choice to close it off wasn’t conscious. It wasn’t wrong. It was simply a natural reaction to a threat. An immediate instinctive protective measure that has slowly been healing.
And now, we are ready to fully release our defensive grip and to allow ourselves to free that which we have secretly been protecting, hiding even from ourselves.
Amun, the invisible one, is conjunct the destiny point, and your destiny is aligned with that which is revealed to you now.
☆
I sat on the couch and let the story move through me. I let it fill sixteen pages of processed wood as it revealed how magic works, how it lives in our bodies, and how it’s woven into our DNA.
I saw a Punnett Square in my mind. I didn’t even remember that that’s what it was called, but I have since looked it up, and yes, it was a Punnett Square. And inside the square, I saw a gene — an ethereal allele — that moves through the population, filling us with magic.
Through the story, I was told that most of us don’t have the gene at all.
While others of us are carriers — able to pass the gene on without the ability to express it.
And then there are the rest of us — who have the gene, lying in wait, dormant in our system until something comes along and activates it.
It’s almost like we’re shocked with an electric burst or perhaps…an electromagnetic field…that turns the gene on.
Perhaps it’s even the activation of this gene that causes the change in a person’s EM field following a near-death experience.
Perhaps.
Could the story be true? Could it be that there is a biological seed of magic inside us?
I flipped back to the issue of The Magic Guide from October 2020 — the month of the Libra new moon that aligned with the Keeper of Heaven — and I saw an illustration of DNA. I was reminded that back then, I was being bombarded with imagery of golden strands of DNA.
I even looked out my window in New York City and on the building across the courtyard, there was a golden light shining. It ran up the side of the building, and Look!
I called to my husband, and he agreed: It looks like a double helix.
And now, curious as always, I look to the sky, not empty and lifeless but full of radiating light, and I gasp —
A sign!
From above!
Do I dare believe?
For during this Libra lunar eclipse, the full moon is aligning at the same point in the sky as the asteroid DNA while simultaneously, the sun is aligning with the asteroid Gold.
For we have golden DNA.
It is hidden inside us.
And if we knew where to look, perhaps we’d find it in every strand of hair and in every tear that falls and in every cell of skin…a great invisible light, capable of creating a powerful field.
No longer dampened by fear and insecurity, but instead, bursting through our very bodies.
And we will call it…magic.

LONG STORY SHORT
You must open your heart completely to open your mind.
You must open your heart completely to open your mind.
You must open your heart completely to open your mind.
As eclipse season starts, that which has been hidden is revealed. This is a time of epiphanies and progress. But you must open your heart completely to open your mind. Believe, believe, believe.
This full moon eclipse carries us through April 7 before a second eclipse arrives on April 8. Use your calendars, your journals, your camera rolls, your IG feed (whatever record you have), to ponder the reflection dates above and better understand whatever is revealed to you now. What do you see? What do you see?
Godspeed.
