Previous Power Portals

New Year 2007

by Crystal Pomeroy

The Fall Equinox portal is exact for a fleeting instant, but it intensifies interdimensional contacts from late September through early November, a period ripe with deep celebrations, that included Archangel Michaels’s Day on September 29, Yom Kippur—the most Holy of Jewish days—on October 9, Samhain on October 31, and the most powerful of all pagan portals: The Day of the Dead, which for some ancestral cultures actually includes several days at the beginning of November.

From the viewpoint of the Absolute, the connections that join us with subtle realms are ever present; we are in truth one with all beings in every universe and kingdom. However, there are moments on Earth that mark changes in the cycles of sun and shadow, long celebrated around the globe as turning points in our relationships with each other, with the planet we share and with worlds beyond. Fall Equinox is one of these moments: when it comes, dark begins to predominate in the count of hours and in our attention, almost imperceptibly guiding our perception to subtle realms within and beyond. The biological life forces begin to disperse, emphasizing transition. The angels, teachers and ancestors inhabiting invisible (to the physical eye) planes respond to these shifts, and such helpers come to greet us at this portal in consciousness.

This fall, as tsunamis seem to rock the planet’s financial, political and moral scenes, what gifts might our invisible allies bear? From their vantage point in ethereal realms, we can be sure they’re not into who dressed worse at the Emmys. They are here to help bring the power of Spirit into our minds and world. How shall we reciprocate during this season of gratitude?

The following portal-blessing for prosperity integrates one of the most effective combinations I have used in my years of study and trial and error with prayer. It combines three sacred factors: the cardinal directions, affirmative concentration and the might of archangels. It is designed to open windows of supernatural light onto a new season of good and protection for the planet during the eminent changes. Mercury retrograde and in its shadow period will intensify our ability to go within throughout October, optimizing prayers and related, inner-directed activities such as those shared below.

Altar-ations for the Fall Gratitude Ceremony

Symbols of the season have the added benefit of integrating the elements and cycles of nature into our space, and will enrich the reach of fall prayers. These can include:

Incense, especially myrrh or sage
Candles, foliage and other touches in red, orange, russet, maroon, brown, gold
Stones, especially sapphire, lapis lazuli, yellow agate
Seasonal plants from your area, such as grains, dry grass, acorns, pine cones, roses, ferns, honeysuckle, marigold, milkweed, thyme, passionflower, sage, tobacco, thistle, gourds
Wine, holy water, or tea made with one of the aforementioned herbs
Food: Bread, nuts, apples, pomegranates, potatoes, carrots, onions, grapes, dried seeds, or a horn of plenty with a selection of Earth’s fruits

Angelic Invocation and Gratitude Ceremony

1. Facing East, light your candle or candles, as you go over ideas and images like the following one to three times:

In the name of Archangels Michael and Faith, I purify this space with the fire of spirit. I praise the spark of faith within my being and within all beings everywhere, and I praise the myriad angels and guides who can and do work to stoke the fires of our faith (take a moment to visualize angels with candles, headed by Michael and Faith, rushing in and filling your space). I send faith to the four corners of the earth. The spark of faith in my heart connects me to the spark of faith all hearts everywhere, and we encircle the planet in victorious faith now.

2. Facing South, take the vessel with wine, water or tea between your hands. Sprinkle water towards before you, as you repeat blessings such as those that follow aloud and with concentration:

In the name of Archangels Gabriel y Maria, I purify this space with the holy waters of divine love. I praise the waters of love which flow from my heart and from the hearts of all peoples, and I praise the myriad angels and guides who can and do work to strengthen and purify our love (take a moment to visualize angels, headed by Gabriel and Mary, rushing in and filling your space as they sprinkle water). I send love to the four corners of the earth. The love in my heart connects me to the love all hearts everywhere, and we encircle the planet in victorious love now.

3. Facing West, light the incense, and hold it above your prayer space, as you say something like:

In the names of Archangels Raphael and Cristina, I purify this space with the winds of peace. I praise the peace that has extended in my soul, and continues to grow (take a moment to visualize a gush of angels, headed by Raphael and Cristina, blowing into your space from the south, bringing gifts of peace.) My praise consolidates my experience of peace. I send peace to the four corners of the world. The peace in my soul connects me to the peace within all souls around the world, and we encircle the planet in victorious peace now.

4. Facing North, hold grapes or a basket or dish with seasonal fruit before you, as you repeat something like:

In the names of Archangels Uriel and Hope, I purify this space with the fruits of the earth. I praise the supply that has flowed already this year and continues to overflow into our midst (visualize a river of golden light pouring into your space). I praise Divine Love, Archangels Uriel and Hope and all my ancestors and guides who have helped and do help us to prosper. My praise fortifies my conscious connection with the One Source, this awareness protects and insures my lasting supply. All other people have a direct connection with the Source of supply, the Source that pours now out whatever they need for wisdom, wellness, finances and understanding. I send my awareness of the All-powerful Source of supply to all corners of the universe, and universes throughout creation. My conscious connection with the One Source synchronizes me with the conscious connection of others, and we surround the Earth with victorious prosperity now.

The angelic correspondences above are of ancestral origin, and they make a surprisingly powerful combination with concentrated, affirmative prayer. To make the most of the ceremony, concentrate on the consciousness related to each of the four: faith, love, peace and divine supply. Such prayers will tend to dislodge any undesirable entities that might happen to be about, lifting up your space to a higher vibration.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Charles Filmore said that the economic systems of the world were not destined to last because they were based on material, rather than spiritual consciousness. His teacher, Emma Curtis Hopkins, had been the first to show that prosperity would result from joining our minds with the spiritual principles. As dimensions mingle this fall, know that each of your prayers is a like a magical stone, adding onto a golden bridge that’s invisible to the physical eye yet radiantly real, a bridge that angels will use to visit your space and through it the entire planet, blessing us with gifts from the Highest Power of all, gifts that no worldly circumstance can limit.
