The Roots Below

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 39

The seventh day of February dawned with a heavy mist, clinging to the trees and blanketing the ground in a quiet stillness. The man awoke feeling a deep pull toward the earth, as though the world beneath his feet was whispering a gentle reminder: stay grounded, remember your roots.

At his altar, he placed a small piece of smoky quartz beside his candle, its earthy tones grounding and protective. Lighting the candle, he sat in silence, his hands resting lightly on his knees. He whispered:

“Earth that holds me, teach me to root myself in your strength. Show me the power of stillness and connection.”

The lynx’s presence was steady and watchful, her energy merging with the grounding pull of the earth. She reminded him that while the sky inspired dreams, the soil nurtured their growth.

He decided to spend the morning connecting with the earth in a tangible way. Wrapping himself in a warm scarf, he stepped outside and walked barefoot in his garden, feeling the cold, damp soil beneath his feet. Each step seemed to deepen his awareness of the steady rhythm of life below the surface.

As he worked, turning the soil with his hands and gently touching the roots of dormant plants, he reflected on his own roots—his heritage, his values, and the connections that nourished him. He thought of the people and places that had shaped him, each one a thread in the tapestry of his life.

In the afternoon, he visited a large oak tree at the edge of the forest, a familiar friend whose roots stretched deep into the earth. Sitting with his back against its trunk, he placed his palms flat against the bark, imagining the vast network of roots below. The tree felt alive with wisdom, its steady presence a reminder of endurance and strength.

That evening, he wrote in his journal:

“The earth teaches us to ground ourselves in what truly matters. It reminds us that growth is not rushed but supported by the strength of our roots. Today, I honor the earth and the grounding connection it provides.”

The Calling

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 1 December 2024 arrived with a stillness that felt different to him. Born under the Sun of Aquarius, the Moon of Pisces, and the Rising fire of Sagittarius, he had always lived with a sensitivity to the subtle vibrations of the universe. But now, as the year turned toward its end, those vibrations became a quiet roar. He had always known his spiritual guide, the female lynx, as a watchful presence in his life—a creature of sharp vision and profound silence. In the waning days of December, her presence grew stronger. On the morning of the winter solstice, as the year began its slow exhale, he dreamt of her clearly for the first time in years. In the dream, the lynx stood atop a rocky outcrop, her golden eyes fixed on him. Around her, the stars of the night sky spun, their patterns forming images he knew but could not name. The wheel of the year turned in her eyes, and when she finally blinked, her voice entered his mind—not as words but as a knowing. “You must ...

The Gateway

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 2 The first dawn of 2025 broke quietly. The man sat cross-legged on a meditation mat by his window, the pale sunlight filtering through frost-covered glass. In his hands, he held a small journal—a new book for a new year. He wrote: “Day 1: The journey begins. I walk through the gateway of the year, uncertain but open.” His Rising Sagittarius urged him to step boldly into the unknown, but his Moon Pisces whispered of the need for compassion—for himself and the journey. He lit a candle, its flame steady in the quiet room, and offered a silent prayer to the elements. Earth for grounding. Air for clarity. Fire for transformation. Water for intuition. As the day unfolded, he took his first intentional step: a mindful walk in the woods near his home. The air was sharp with winter’s bite, but the trees stood tall and serene, their bare branches weaving patterns against the pale sky. It was here he felt her—the lynx. Though unseen, her presence was palpable, guiding h...
