Caladrius, or the Bird of Kings
The Caladrius is the bird of true kings, the one who sees beyond the flesh and reads the truth within the soul. Its gaze decides rebirth or downfall. It is the white bird that carries illness toward the sun so that it may be burned, transmuted, and returned to the light.
The Cyclical Passage and the Stellar Light
The Caladrius heals through the light it bears. It is guided by the light of the sun, Mars, and Venus. From Venus it borrows beauty and healing; from Mars, its inner fire, the most favorable to the development of the spirit, which is the hidden principle of the egg. And finally, from the reeds, which belong to the realm of breath and purification.
The Pleiades guide the soul through their light. They are its counterpart, the place where souls are reborn. They mark the return of spring and the beginning of the harvest, the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. The Pleiades are the guardians of the celestial garden. They symbolize the reopening of the world; they are the sky to which the Caladrius carries illness.
The Two Gardens
The Pleiades symbolize the celestial garden, and the emerald symbolizes the inner garden. The emerald is clear vision.
The Caladrius is the vessel
The Pleiades are the sanctuary, the sun is the purifying fire, and the Caladrius is the bridge between the two worlds, the two gardens.
The Reed, Plant of Renewal
It is a symbol of breath and passage. It is the channel between the celestial garden and the earth. It is the link that connects the visible world to the subtle world, ensuring sacred transmission
The Reed as the Axis of the World
It symbolizes the new creation of the world, the end of the bondage of ignorance, the passage into the subtle world, which is the far shore of the sea of thoughts and the place of sacred memory. It is the word that gives form to reality.
