Rise of the Wadjet Witch - By Juliet C. Obodo Page 0,51
without you, my real family, then you are sadly mistaken.” She thought about her foster mother and the unprovoked beatings she endured. She felt all the anger and rage that had been building up for the past twenty-three years rise up her body.
She felt hot. She was burning up. She looked down at her feet. They had started to glow, and they were no longer touching the floor.
“Claudia was right; they did activate her nodes,” she heard Sarai transmit to Virgil.
“Memphis, you must calm down. Your powers are active but unstable. We need to complete the process first or you will burn out.”
“I will become tired?”
“No, you will die,” Lawrence said as he and Gabriella walked into the room of stars.
Memphis turned on him. “Why didn’t you tell me all of this? About my family?”
“Um, because you ran out of our house in your underwear, screaming.” Gabriella came to her brother’s defense.
“It was loungewear and I wasn’t screaming.” Memphis tried to calm down. Her feet slowly settled back down to the floor. “Did you say something about me dying? I would really appreciate that not happening.”
Virgil took her arm and led her back to the settee on which she had been reclining. “You will need to Rise. Unfortunately, your lunar nodes have been activated late and haphazardly. You didn’t reach your center in order to ground your energy. This usually happens during a ceremony at the age of fourteen with the other fourteen in your birth class. The lunar nodes are the repositories of our psychic energies. They govern the whole condition of the human being. It prepares you for your Rising when you turn twenty-four.”
Sarai sat down beside her.
“What happens during the Rising?” she asked her.
“During the ceremony, the Star Essence reaches each lunar node and its energies are molded into the Star Essence. This ascent through the nodes can be viewed as an upward journey through the self, which refines and subtilizes the energy of the Star Essence until it reaches the Wadjet Eye. The essence will complete your Wadjet Eye formation and you will receive an energy marking in the shape of a snake that travels in a zigzag motion, the way energy waves travel throughout the seven nodes of the human body.”
“Once you Rise, you follow the Path of Knowledge, where you are taught to control your powers. Then you take part in the Wadjet Ceremony.” Sarai explained.
“Is that like a graduation?”
“Somewhat. The Path of Knowledge will teach you the Secret Sciences of Material and Mental Magick.”
“The purpose of the Coronation is to solidify our powers before the Rising, and then we will move forward to preserve order and repel chaos, to fight The Seventy-Two for control of the human collective.
“The history of our people is in the stars. The history of all people lies above. The gods put the constellations there to show us the way back to our heavenly home. We are just travelers here on Earth.
“We come from a long line of Star people. It began with our Star father, Imhotep. We all used to be connected to the gods, but as humanity gradually descended into earthly consciousness, human beings were not left totally without guidance.”
“Do you recall my transmission of the fight between Horus and Seth?”
Transmission? “I remember that it was a topic on your show. When Isis went to search for Osiris before Horus was created, a boy playing the river told her his location. She blessed the boy with prophetic vision. The boy was Imhotep.”
“Imhotep was chosen by Isis to guide us. He founded Saqqara, a mystery school and temple. They were kept secret to hide from the followers of Seth. He carefully selected pupils who were sworn to secrecy and became specially trained and led on a path of initiations.
“The initiates were then sent out to the world to rule according to their vision and knowledge of the world of the gods. These initiates received guidance from the heavenly beings who revealed their workings through the rhythms of the stars. They were considered to be highly evolved humans—Star People.
“The adepts had a practical knowledge of the time-rhythms of the planetary spheres within the fixed stars, are heavenly beings guiding humanity. This knowledge extended not only to matters concerning daily life, but also over processes of immense ages of time. With this understanding, the adepts could know the timing of important future happenings. Our family took over the managing of the schools when Imhotep ascended.” Virgil explained.
“He ascended? To the
