The Green Wizard
Quotes, Sayings, Resources, Notes

 

 

 

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart, 
The holy tree is growing there; 
From joy the holy branches start, 
And all the trembling flowers they bear. 
The changing colours of its fruit 
Have dowered the stars with metry light; 
The surety of its hidden root 
Has planted quiet in the night; 
The shaking of its leafy head 
Has given the waves their melody, 
And made my lips and music wed, 
Murmuring a wizard song for thee.
-  William Butler Yeats, The Two Trees

 

 

 

 

 

In Life's name and for Life's sake, I say that I will use the Art for 
nothing but the service of that Life.   I will guard growth and ease 
pain.  I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own 
way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and 
life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened.  To these 
ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and 
death for life, when it is right to do so -- till the Universe's end.
-  Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

 

 

 

 

 

Standing at the Mysterious Pass
Centered in the Eternal Now,
Balanced in Body and Open in Mind,
Rooted into the Sacred Space,
Motionless as the Golden Mountain,
Fingers around the Primeval Sphere.

Dragons and Tigers are still dreaming -
Ready for Rebirth. 

I breathe in, the World Breathes Out.
The Gate of Space opens;
Heaven moves and Yang is born.
The hands move out, embracing the One.
The mind settles and is clear.
The Dragon Howls,
Ravens fill the Vast Cauldron,
Mind forms melt like mercury,
Spirit rises in the Clouds of Eternity.
Yin appears like the moon at dusk.

I breathe out, the World Breathes In.
The Doors of Emptiness close;
Earth quiets and Yin is born.
The hands move in, entering the One.
The body settles and becomes whole.
The Tiger Roars,
The Great Ox is nourished by the Valley Spirit, 
Substances spark from flaming furnaces,
Essence roots in the Watery Flesh.
Yang appears like the sun at dawn.


Dragons and Tigers
Transformed within the Mysterious Pass -
Chanting and Purring.
Awakened,
Peaceful,
Free.

-   Michael P. Garofalo
    Opening at the Mysterious Pass
   
Sun Style Taijiquan
