Message as channeled by Tora Moon 10/22/11

My story is of life and death and rebirth.  I stir my cauldron Awen, carefully tending the brew I’ve mixed.  A year and a day my care and attention went into Grael, the brew of inspiration. Did I know my son, Afagdu, for whom it was intended, would never taste the three sweet drops?  Perhaps.  In my single-mindedness to make him something other than he was I ignored the warnings of my own vision, my own intuition.

Inspiration comes with the price of transformation.  Would he appreciate the transformation the brew would bring to him?  Did I ask him if he was unhappy with his state of ugliness?  Did I ask him if he was prepared and wanted the transformation of wisdom my brew would bring?  No, I as his mother and as a powerful Goddess thought I knew better.  I thought I knew what was best for him.

My Dear Ones, this lesson is for you as well.  In our eagerness to help those who appear to be hurting, who appear to be ugly in their affliction or illness, we can overstep the bounds of free-will and choice.  We can decide we know better than they what is good for them.  Our intentions may be good and from the heart, but that doesn’t mean they are right.  I see now as I look up the happenings of that fateful day it was no coincidence that is was Gwion rather than my son Afagdu who tended the pot.

I was so involved in my own good intentions I didn’t realize the brew was almost done.  I left Gwion tending the pot while I gathered more herbs.  The Divine Will of All stepped in to right my wrong.  The child wanted the inspiration, wanted the transformation, and yes, even the liberation that my brew would bring.  He wanted to become a man of wisdom and to inspire others.  My son did not.  As Gwion stirred, three drops of inspiration splashed upon his hand and without thinking he licked them off.

The transformation began.

He knew I’d be angry – and he was right.  I was.  I was so full of righteous indignation that my plan to help my son had been foiled by this boy.

I chased him and he ran.  The brew of inspiration taught him how to change shape.  Shape after shape he changed and so did I, until at last I caught him in his disguise of a grain of wheat and gobbled him up as a hen.

Thinking that it was done, I went back to my cauldron to begin the brew again.  But as I filled it with fresh water, I looked in and saw a vision.  Gwion’s transformation had just begun.  In death I gave him life.  This is the nature of the Goddess, the cycle of life, death and rebirth.  And so it is my nature as well.  Nine months later, I gave birth to what Gwion had become, a new boy.  He was blessed by my brew of inspiration and became the greatest Welsh bard of all time, Taliesin.

My gift of inspiration would have been lost and as nothing on my son, Afagdu.  But in Taliesin, it found fertile ground and blossomed.

Now, I mix my brew of inspiration and only give it to those who ask.  And those who are willing to pay the price of transformation that comes with it.  As you act upon the inspiration, the ideas, and the wisdom that I give you, you change.  You will never be the same as you were before you sipped the brew of inspiration.  Like Gwion, you will go through many forms until at last you find the one which fits you best to fulfill the promise within you.  Gwion transformed from a servant boy to one of the most gifted bards, Talesin.  He had the capacity within him, and my brew only awoke it.

Dear Ones, what is within you that my brew of inspiration will awake and allow you to transform into?  What is the truth of you?  Are you willing?  Are you ready for that journey into yourself?  If you are, Dear Ones, come to me and drink my brew of inspiration and find the liberation of transformation.

Blessings to you, Dear Ones.  There is great love here for you.
