The Cupido energy first appeared as a mature
woman carrying a cornucopia filled to overflowing with food and
bounty. This is about fertile abundance of creative effort
shared in the harvesting of it. There is the understanding
that what is given to one does not diminish, but increases what is
shared with others. There were rings, garlands
of flowers.

Cupido
has a relationship to the Circle, and to all that it represents
- relationship, creative Essence, cycles and returning,
nurturance, creative spirit.
This being is about applied love in
applied manifestation (which is not sentimentality), from the
harmonized interrelationships of facets of the psyche within the
individual, and radiating outward to family, community, and
beyond. The stones pink tourmaline, rhodonite, and
rose quartz come to mind.
This is not weak, or
without proper integrity, balance and boundaries. It is dynamic
relationship, not mindless enmeshment. And yet there is the glue
of related connectivity to it - it is universal/energetic "connective
tissue".

Saw a
herd of deer, where each is a sentry for the group, and also for other
creatures as well. There is a sense of responsibility
here.
The energy is expansive, collecting, and unifying - there is
much acceptance to it, and yet not without discernment and
responsibilty for the integrity and wellbeing of the whole, unless the
energy is out of balance in its functioning.

Heard
Sting's song, "Fields of gold" - there is also a tender feeling
of devotion and love between lovers and partners, optimally supported
by and in balance with the environment.
Stars and constellations
- here are the creative sparks of inspiration, which may shine alone,
yet more radiantly in harmony with others.
The synergy/gestalt of the combined whole adding a further dimension
and potential context of meaning and effectiveness.

When an
individual is aligned with the divine spark within themselves, their
"star energy", so to speak, their creative lifeforce energy will pour
forth into the creative forms - music, art, writing, and on. Cupido can
magnetize a person to this inner source.
Magnetism is a keyword concept here - each will
magnetize and be magnetized to those whose creative energies are
resonant with their own, creating a fertile energy exchange of creative
collaboration with like, similar, and/or complementary
others.

There is
protection and safety 'within the tender mercies' of those of intimate
shared essence connection.
Schools of fish swimming and turning in
perfect unison as they are of one shared mind. Birds, too,
those that know how to fly in formation to ease the workload of each
thru the cooperative efforts of all - and the same energetic
"aerodynamics" of family and community.

Altruism
- that which is best for all, where ideally all have primary needs met,
before the wants of a few.
This energy crosses dimensions from the
personal to the transpersonal and universal.
It's like singing a
round, where beautiful harmony in inherent within a single melody line
when that melody line is shared and repeated.

There is
a sweetness to this energy, but also a formidible power of unification
and creative expression - like the tarot card, The Empress.
The
unicorn approached, expressing to remember the divine in grace
and beauty, and in Love - they all serve the sole purpose of
reconnecting you to Source.

This
energy's intent is to unify all thru creative expression
within themselves, with others, and further outward, in radiating
ripples of connectivity and Love, which is the inherent glue that holds
the atoms of the universe together, thru expansiveness and
cohesion. Often it does this thru joyful expression. It is
profound, and yet need not feel 'heavy'... there is a grace and beauty,
and a natural inherent rightness and flow to it. It is
compassionate.

Indira's
Web - seeing the canopy of stars, each connected to the others by
shining golden threads, and those golden threads further connecting all
creatures, rocks, mountains and lakes, all beings, all people in
her intricate web of interrelatedness and interdependence. There
is no separation. In the greatest sense, Community embraces all
beings, here and beyond, and across the threshold of time.

Do not
understimate the little song, poem or story that you write, or the work
you do with others in creativity, laughter, the little acts of kindness
and caring, prayer or healing. It connects you to the Source, and
enlivens all the shining golden threads... Do not
underestimate what sparks of inspiration what you do might ignite in
others.
