The Twelve Days of Christmas- Night Four



  • The fourth night is the four angels of the four quarters of space


On the fourth night we give and are given 'space' to make ready our incoming actualities. The gift of the four is precisely this. Four angels govern and qualify and characterize the four quarters of all cosmic space and its infilling virtue. On this journey heavenward we are gathering up our provisions, and our first provision for that in our life to enter in anew, is the space to be present that it can. 

This is now the perfect night before retiring into slumber, to contemplate possibilities, to hang out our empty stocking as it were to be infilled!

  1. After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.

  2. You can also during this time successively read the twelve Virtues; today that would be the one of May: Balance becomes Progress.See http://power-to-the-virtues.blogspot.nl
