 My name is Ona. I want to welcome you to Art of Awakening and in this video we're going to be looking at the energies of February 2024 and especially zeroing in on the two-two portal also known as in bulk or candlemus, even Groundhog's Day. And this is going to be a really, really powerful energetic portal opening up a lot of energy for divine feminine healing. I'm also going to be sharing some Akashic messages both in words and in art and that is largely focused on that two-two but keep in mind that a lot of these energies are going to be felt throughout February 2024. So you might want to grab a pen and pencil and take notes and let's dive into it. Okay, so before we go really deep into the two-two portal I want to just briefly overview some of the other events in February on the 10th we enter or begin the Chinese year of the dragon. This 2024 is a year of the fire dragon. It's a super, super powerful year that we're heading into and if you want to know more about that I recently did a whole big video on my sister channel Spoken Earth Ministries. It's about an hour and a half and it really delves deep into what's what to expect in 2024 the year of the dragon. I'm going to leave that link below if you want to look into that. Okay, so beyond that, so the first half of February we're going to be feeling a lot of aquarium energy and Aquarius is a sign that really loves big picture thinking and it's a really mental air sign. So it could be a great time in the first half of February for making plans and just even envisioning your future. Okay, so part of the flip side or shadow side of Aquarius is to lose sight of the personal to get really cerebral and in the head. So fortunately we've got Valentine's Day also coming up mid-February just kind of reminding us to get back into the heart and whether you are celebrating romantic love or just self-love. I think that's a really important date in February as well that kind of balances out a lot of that headiness of Aquarius and then of course on February 18th we start moving out of that Aquarian energy and into Pisces so we're going to be welcoming a little bit more of a watery flow maybe connecting with the emotions a little bit more towards the end of the month. Okay, so now let's back up and go back to the beginning of the month and start looking at this incredibly powerful date of February 2nd. It's a date that is associated with the ancient holiday of Imbulk. This is one of the cross quarter dates of the year so it marks the halfway point between the solstice and the equinox. So energetically in the year it's kind of the equivalent of like the first quarter moon so we have this kind of rising energy. The actual cross quarter date this year falls on February 4th but that it's still within that portal of time right of the 2-2. So in the Akashic message that I will share shortly I talk about the significance of the numbers 2-2 but before we get into that I just want to talk about the feeling of this time of year here in the north woods it's a really magical time because we're still deep in the season of winter but you can start to really feel the energies of spring starting to stir okay and the days are starting to get noticeably longer and the rate of change towards more light is starting to accelerate so there's a movement that's happening and even though we may have several feet of snow covering all the trails some of the animals are starting into their breeding season especially I'm thinking of the owls and the foxes that are getting into the whole mating season and the hauling in of new life and that is one of the real big aims of this time is this new beginnings and new life so in a lot of areas of the world you're starting to see the the sheep giving birth and that was historically a really important symbolism around in bulk was the the new milk coming in but also the theme of purification okay and the the same date of in bulk is right around the same time in the christian calendar that's where they celebrate candlemas which is the date that celebrates the presentation of Jesus in the temple and the purification of Mary so 40 days after the birth the the woman goes through a purification ceremony and that's what candlemas is but it is absolutely no coincidence that that christian calendar falls exactly on this cross quarter date this this in bulk season that welcomes the new life in that that speaks to purification okay so this is an amazing time of year to clean house and it was a traditional time of year to just clean everything up and there's a beautiful little ritual of getting a new broom on in bulk and you can jump over the broom into the house and it's kind of like this symbolic cleansing and purification and I'm personally and I wasn't even thinking about this as being in bulk but I've started this whole huge project of cleaning house and it just feels so right for this time so big encouragement if you're feeling at all inclined to synchronize with the seasons is to start thinking about any kind of purification cleaning house and also fasting is a part of this time of year and it was kind of a lean time so it's a it's a funny little in between time kind of a liminal time and to me this is also indicating a really powerful dream time and just being able to access those in between spaces right this this thinning veil kind of feel so it might be I've personally been having powerful dreams I think this is a time that we can be really really receptive and open to not just the new life coming forward but also what our inspiration what our abuse what our higher self what creator whatever you want to call it right so what the angels want to tell you and being able to be open to that okay and then finally in 2024 in the dream spell calendar the galactic calendar the two two 2024 starts a new wave spell which is a 13 day cycle with the red magnetic serpent starting this cycle okay so I feel like this is really going to speak to what I I'm going to share with you next and especially there are coming through and this red magnetic serpent is looking at themes of survival and the life force okay along with a powerful attracting or magnetic vibe okay so hopefully that will give you a feel for some of the basic energetic themes that we're about to move into and from here I want to share the akashic message now they said it is important for you to remember that as a living human being on earth at this time your ancestral line goes back to the creator of the earth or even before you have been here a long long time two two speaks to the polarity of existence it is a holy number two squared is four and four is a number of extreme stability four is a number that enables the materialization of spirit into form this is a holy thing you do not realize how holy it is for you to be embodied for form to have been created in your mad rush to etherize or to ascend you are hell bent on abandoning the sacred vessels it took eons to create rushing pill mel into an artificial universe designed to divorce you from the physical vehicle you have been gifted by creator what absolute folly you must learn to care for your physical vessels as creator intended your bodies and the body of the earth it is through the marriage of body and spirit in a sacred way in a natural way that you will open the portal to the divine worlds above the artificial universe is an inversion of this it opens the portal to the hell realms do not forget your humanity do not forget that you are a child of the earth do not forget that you are divine okay and i have some thoughts about that message which i'm going to share in just a bit but first i also want to share this piece of artwork because this is the other half of the akashic message and i painted this in a real state of joy i had just done this amazing kundalini yoga practice and we just felt very close to the angels and just felt it really inspired to paint so when i sat down at the easel i had absolutely no idea what this was going to turn out to be and i wasn't thinking about what it meant or anything it just came out but like after the fact this is what i'm gathering from it okay so i call it moon time because it honors the ancient knowledge of the sacred feminine from wisdom traditions around the world that recognize the connection between the moon water women and new life also the plant world okay so this is a call to reclaim the life-giving power embodied in every woman rededicating the symbolism of the moon and blood as well as the sacred colors red and black as life-giving symbols of the power of the sacred feminine to bring forth life okay so i i just want to mention that i have put her up on on daily paint works on auction so if she resonates with you i really encourage you to check that out in the in the description box below but i want to talk a little bit more about this sacred feminine okay because i feel like this is something that is very misunderstood and actually i'm seeing a lot of inversion of the sacred feminine happening in the world and i feel like you know both the artwork that came through and the verbal message that you might want to listen to again okay is talking about the real sacred power of the feminine and the sacredness of the body okay remember that the the feminine represents the material and the body okay whereas the masculine is more associated with the spiritual in the mind okay and and so this is just a real reminder that the the power of the feminine is that of bringing forth life of giving life the feminine the sacred feminine the divine feminine the at the core of her power she's a life giver okay and this is something that i feel like is really really being twisted and forgotten these days what is more difficult right to give life and nurture it or to take life you can take life in a second but to actually give life there's a sacrifice involved and it's hard and you know this is the power of the feminine that is i feel very very misunderstood um maligned and we need to come back to honoring that feminine because i feel like this is at the core of everything that's gone awry in the world today is at its core there's this either disregard of the feminine or actual aligning the feminine with evil or with with um kind of dark and yes the feminine can be dark but at its core the sacred feminine is a very very beautiful beautiful power very powerful and it's time for us to reclaim that and to begin to really recognize the power and the beauty and of of that ability to bring forth life going into that womb space um and then there was this mention of reclaiming of these symbols okay remember that kind of the quote-unquote dark powers they don't have creative power of their own they only have the power to to take they don't have the power to give right and so a lot of the symbols that are associated with um the feminine power with the sacred feminine have been co-opted by the darkness and amongst these these colors of red and black which were originally the black was the nourishing womb space right and the red was the flow of the menstrual blood how holy and sacred is it that women are the ones that can shed blood and have that be a life-giving process it's amazing um so this is really a tribute to um the power of the feminine and also the moon is something that has been kind of co-opted and often seen as evil and I feel like we can take these symbols back but simply by um bringing them into our hearts and really asking for these things to be blessed and cleansed and purified okay so here's this purification coming back again so I just want to share now that we've come to the end of an affirmation for this time this wave spell starting on February 2nd and here it is an affirmation for red magnetic serpent I unify in order to survive attracting instinct I seal the store of life force with a magnetic tone of purpose I am guided by the power of my own power doubled right so this is a super powerful time um I really encourage you to spend some time going within spend some time purifying right and really feel into that mother energy the power of the sacred and divine feminine and feel into it as the life-giving force it's so much more powerful than most of us really understand what the sacred feminine really is right um much love and many blessings to you and remember you were born to be free
