Will you walk with us in the forest? It lies in the green place, the emerald light within your heart. Gaia’s every stem of grass, unfolded leaf and river reed grows there, in your heart’s garden, where Eden forever blooms. And in its centre your Tree, the Tree of all Life, with its arms in the light of Source, its roots in the fourfold cross, the neverending Lifestream. Tend your Tree, water it with love, lay your hands of kindness upon its trunk, rest your cheek on its skin and feel the sacred spirit, the breath of Source, run through, to you, from you, as you. As One. We are the Life Eternal. ~ the ‘Green Men’
Dear Friends,
Gaia is calling her pillars to stand in peace, light and balance, deeper with her than we’ve gone before. We’ve talked a lot about the return of the Divine Feminine in other posts. Now let’s focus with the Divine Masculine, which for this post will be in the company of the Green Men, the kings of the forest, for there have been and are many, and their spirit and energy flows in the Life force of nature, in the flow of Source, in the DNA and RNA of all living beings.
We’ll approach this theme of the Divine Masculine through the perspective of our Oversoul (Ashurana’Ra) and particular soul expressions connected with Gaia, within the wider stream of Divine Masculine Presence(s) supporting the Earth’s blossoming. You may have already read of Ashura in other Heart Star posts, who in his 5D soul-form Arnap was for a while guiding the lightship Shem Arua, and now the Meri’Ashar. He’s remembered by several names on Earth, through the flow of the White Ray and its overlighting consciousness, Archangel Gabriel, one of them being Ashur, ‘god’ of the ancient Assyrians. Through the divine conception/life-creating aspect of the White Ray, he also came through ‘Cernunnos’, Celtic god of the forest, in northwestern Europe, called the ‘horned king’, depicted with reindeer antlers on his head, and connected with the metaphysical White Stag.
For clarity, Cernunnos is not, nor ever was, Satan, and later conflations of of the antlered king of the forest – masculine counterpart of the Mother Goddess – with the devil, came from the same distortion/disconnection that saw the devolved priesthoods of ancient Mesopotamia suppress and erase the Mother side of Source, the Asherah, from temples and texts, converting Ashur’s memory imprints from angelic guardian of Asherah, the ‘Mother’ energy within the Tree of Life, to a god of war and empire. In the current Shifting vibrations, those and other twists of perception over the aeons are subtly unravelling, to lift and realign to Universal Love and Compassion.
Ashur protects the Asherah (Mother Tree of Life)
In Lights in the Sky Part Four we shared some perspective on Ashur, the Alpha Centaurians, and the incoming energies of the Bull (Aldebaran/Taurus, grounding of red life force energies), Ashur’s depiction as a winged bull, and how ancient cultures described the Centaurus constellation as a bull, later as a centaur. In January 2015, Ashura’s face appeared in the cloud portrait below, with two crescents on his head (or number 3/trinity energy) and a pink butterfly in front of his mouth. I’ll come back to the butterfly later in this post.

The number 3 on his head symbolizes the triune/trinity/tri-unity symbol, also carrying the vibration of the Bow or Arch of the Mother, through which flies the arrow of inception/immaculate conception. The 3 can also be viewed in this context as a double horseshoe, representing Centaurus (the centaur vibration) and the deepening of Mother’s Bow through which the arrow of Life is directed. The Divine Masculine took the form of an antlered god in the Celtic pantheon, represented by Cernunnos, as below on a panel of the Gundestrup Cauldron, gripping a serpent in one hand and a torc (horseshoe-shaped necklet) in the other, in the recurring symbolism of the crescent, below the head of a reindeer.

Like the Irminsul pillar of the Germanic god Tyr (Thor, a Procyonic soul form of Archangel Michael) – with its double fronded ‘branches’ reminiscent of depictions of Asherah as a two-fronded palm tree – the antlers of Cernunnos connected heaven and earth. Feel also into the deer as an animal connected to/representing the energy of the Angelic soul streams, and on a subtle level, antlers as a conduit of divine light, branches of the Tree of Life, earthed through the animal form.
In Cernunnos symbolism, the tines of the antlers, spread like a tree’s branches, conducted light from the heavens through the head and body of the god of the forest into the Earth and sparked it with life, the green teeming growth of the plant world, Gaia’s ‘fingers’. So he became known as the Green Man, the essence of sacred masculine fertility, seeding of Light into Life. Father-Mother merged energies of Source, conducting Light-in-Life, spirit-in-matter. Pure united form of essence and body, the Ascended state of light-embodiment. The deer was seen & felt by many ancient cultures as a creature that crossed dimensions, and nowhere is this clearer than in myths of the White Stag or White Hart.
Cultures all around the world have associated white animals with the spirit world, prophecies of renewal of life, ‘good luck’, benevolent magic, enlightenment, the return of light to Earth. The White Stag, more than any, is the animal extension of the Tree of Life and the forest king, the Green Man, Gaia’s mystical husband and protector. The old myths of many civilizations are alive and well in the collective unconscious, where the rebirth of Love is known subconsciously, and still expressed through visual and literary arts. As an example, let’s take a look at how the symbolism of the White Stag appears in three fantasy books/recent movies; The Hobbit, the Harry Potter series, and Snow White & the Huntsman. Broadly speaking, the fantasy genre often takes unresolved trauma shadows from the collective past/present and projects them into an alternate world, stripped of mundane ‘real world’ situations or contraints, in order to expose and resolve them, very often through cathartic sacrifice. (Science fiction, on the other hand, projects current hopes, wishes and fears into imagined/predicted futures, but we’ll leave that for another post, in terms of star family’s return). Both fantasy and science fiction can have subtle precognitive aspects, and some are indirectly, unconsciously, or directly channelled or guided (such as the original Star Trek series, albeit translated through various interpretative filters and tropes).
The White Stag appears most overtly as a higher dimensional embodiment of Life (and Spirit Energy) in Snow White & the Huntsman. Snow White escapes from her evil stepmother into the Dark Forest, which like the rest of the blighted land, is diseased and deadly, where she first encounters a savage troll.
But in her presence, this great troll horned with tree branches, a defender of the earth maddened by human aggression, becomes calm and trusting. For ‘Snow White’, like the white animals, is herself aligned in her pure innocence with the higher dimensional world – and was already marked as a ‘daughter of the Goddess’, when she escaped her stepmother (the distorted, self-consuming feminine) on a white mare, which in Celtic symbology was a form of the Mother Goddess, Epona.
Her flight into the Dark Forest takes her into its living green heart, which she is told is the Sanctuary, the ‘world of the fairies’. In the Sanctuary, light still shines through a lush Eden. There she meets the White Stag at the foot of a huge old tree, that has a look of Yggdrasil, the World Tree of Norse myths, the Ash Tree that bridges the nine realms/dimensions (feel into the energy of the names Asherah, Ashura, Ashtar, Ashima etc) from which the god Odin hung to gain wisdom and access to all the realms.
Through a series of symbolic scenes, the Stag bows his head to Snow White, with antlers made of great tree branches, and blesses her, in recognition of her pure Life force. A soldier of the evil queen shoots an arrow into the Stag, but as a being of the ‘otherworld’ he dematerializes in a dimensional shift instead of dying (represented visually by his form dissolving into a flock of ascending white birds or leaves). The soldier represents the ”wounded masculine” ego-self disconnected from the Source/Spirit, at war with the Divine Masculine, unable to ‘recognize’ the higher frequency of the same energy. This theme of misrecognition/separation also appears in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The White Stag scene isn’t in the cinema release, but in the extended version, which included this scene from the original book by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Again, the White Stag scene appears in a dark, diseased forest, Mirkwood – that had once been unblighted and full of life, Greenwood the Great. But in Middle Earth, over which the shadow of greed, control and domination by fallen gods and their minions has settled, the King of the Forest – here portrayed by the elf-king Thranduil – has dropped from his higher vibration into egoic pride, judgement and defensiveness. So when the dwarf Thorin Oakenshield (whose greed for gold strips him of his ‘honour’ and ultimately, his life) shoots an arrow at the White Stag instead of showing trust and following it, he loses the favour of the elf king, and never regains it. That King Thranduil is an elfin version of the Horned/Antlered King is clear in his crown, which resembles tiny antlers bound with leaves and berries (he has not completely ‘fallen’, and is still fruitful, his son being Legolas Greenleaf).
Thranduil rides an elk, with a majestic spread of antlers, a sign that his potency and spiritual connection to the earth is not yet lost, but he is a ”wounded masculine” king in retreat, sealed away in an underground realm, only venturing forth for greed and material desire.
Thorin the dwarf king too is heir to an underground realm, but has gone too far into ego-centered desires to reclaim it. As his kindred dwarves say, he has been ‘driven mad by dragon-sickness’. Can you see/feel the metaphors at work in these films? Let’s go deeper underground, to the ‘realms of faerie’, for the hidden elven strongholds of Tolkien’s Middle Earth are an echo in story form of the real higher dimensional Inner Earth world of Agartha. And in that dimension, we find another sacrificial Green Man of ancient days, father god/god of fertility of Egypt, Ausir (remembered by the ancient Greek rendition of his name, Osiris).
Painting of Osiris, tomb of Nefertari, 1295-1253BC.
In the Egyptian myths, Osiris was killed by his jealous ‘brother’ Set, but the fourteen scattered pieces of his body were found by Isis and Anubis, and Osiris was resurrected – as a king of the Underworld, symbolizing his dwelling-place in the higher dimensional realm of Inner Earth. The myths are metaphors, deeply apparent in the resurrection of Osiris. Only one of his body parts could not be found, his penis (loss of fertility/seed/reproduction/DNA). So Anubis fashioned one of gold (golden light, the golden frequency of divine-aligned creation) from which Isis conceived a child, Horus, in a form of immaculate conception – that brings us back full circle to Ashur and the three-petalled ‘Trinity Lily’ of his arrow, and Cernunnos, whose essence is One with the Tree of Source, and sparks Life.
Of our three movie examples, there’s one left to look at, and Harry Potter is an especially Osiran – and Christlike – character. Harry, pitted from infancy against a dark power that seeks world domination, when put in a life or death situation produces a ‘patronus charm’, a shielding attribute, or extension of his soul/essence – which for Harry takes the form of a White Stag. His Stag, as in the two previous films, appears in a dark and perilous forest, in this case the Forbidden Forest, in the Hogwarts School grounds. Like Mirkwood, the Forbidden Forest is overrun by giant spiders and all evil energies take refuge there. Centaurs, once wise beings, run wild and dangerous (the Centaurus constellation is also mythically connected with Chiron the Centaur, also called the ”wounded healer”). But like Snow White in the Old Forest, Harry is befriended by magical creatures, including the centaurs – and his White Stag connection signals him as a bringer of Life, renewal and resurrection through willing sacrifice, in a darkened world.
Indeed, after being ‘killed’, Harry finds himself in King’s Cross station (a subtle nod to the ”Stations of the Cross”) and his life is restored, as his task is not yet completed. In each of these books/films, pure unconditional Love ultimately prevails, in a redemption of the ”wounded masculine archetype” through an act, or series of choices and acts, of Love. And in each film, the pathway to restoration/rebirth is delayed and resisted by the war of the disconnected, power-craving wounded masculine against the Divine Masculine.
In the ‘real world’ of 3D ill-us-ion, that war has continued wounding the masculine, and suppressing/limiting the feminine, through various socio-cultural expressions. The Earth’s 3-4D vibrational field, an extension of Gaia’s consciousness, is swirling with humanity’s unresolved trauma/subconscious wounds, with industrialization and overconsumption by a human population being called to transition from caterpillar to butterfly stage rapidly. And as if time has collapsed, amid the chaos of Iraq, Islamic State members last week took sledgehammers to Ashur’s winged bulls in the Mosul Museum and bulldozed the ancient Assyrian capital, Nineveh. How symbolic. As 5D vibrations flow in more deeply, those clinging to old ego constructs, in whatever form, can react chaotically…yet simultaneously as the 5D (and higher/faster) vibrations flow into the planetary field, they are gradually loosening and resolving trauma imprints and wounded inner archetypes that hold suffering and sacrificial catharsis as necessary for spiritual evolvement. In the background, we can be sure there are many loving beings of light supporting all in the anchoring of New Earth’s beautiful frequency of love, peace and joyful co-creations within the consciousness of humanity. So, dear friends, we invite you to continue focusing with us on anchoring and radiating Universal Love in this field, in whatever way feels best to you, and let deep peace radiate within and around this world, in Oneness with the Green Man of the Threefold Light (Divine Feminine-Masculine-Child) that lives within the Heart of Life.
Following on from this previous post about the Pink Star exercise, here’s an extension from Ashura, with a Pink Butterly visualization, connecting the Green Light.
Ashura’s pink butterfly.
Put your being within a Golden Apple of light, centre through its axis with Source and anchor with Gaia’s crystalline, immutable core. From my breath comes to you, dear souls, this pink butterfly of Love. Only Love. Open you heart and let this butterfly settle within it. Feel its softness, its lightness of being, within your heart, made soft and light by your allowing. We of the Green ask you now, breathe in the green Life, blow it through your field. Expand it to all living beings, speak such blessing and praise that make your heart ring its true Golden Tone. Then focus with stillness into your heart, and feel only the One. Love IS Life. We are close by you, in the curve, in the golden we meet.
In the next post we’ll focus on DNA and RNA, and the upcoming March-April ‘twin pillar’ dates. For now, attune to the II-II energy of these twin pairs, Solar Eclipse-Equinox March 20-21 and Lunar Eclipse-Easter April 4-5 – and the space between. Through Rose Light in the Green, lands the Golden.
With eternal love and thanks to beloved Ashura, all the Green Men of Love, and all beings who cherish the Light of Source within all Life. Deepest thanks also to our Alpha Centaurian star brothers and sisters, and light beings of many origins and dimensions, who continue their work with anchoring higher dimensional light within, on and around thos beautiful planet.
Love, Peace & Joy to All,
Joanna&Ashura&Friends 💚💚💚
