Jaguar Marigold Mother | Where Wisdom Blossoms from Mystery
In a dream Jung would call “big,” I was shown the Jaguar Marigold Mother: A chthonic figure rising from the earth, her robe clothed in golden blooms that became glowing butterflies of fire, her cowl releasing stars into the night sky, her heart giving birth to a rainbow spiral of creation.
It was a vision of profound mystery, beauty, and power, a dream carrying the weight of eternity, inviting me (and us all) to listen, awaken, and transform.
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?... I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
—Proverbs 8:1, 23–24
