✨ I Didn’t Always Know It Was Possible to Remember, and Not Just Learn ✨

An Oracle’s Realization:

I didn’t always know it was possible to remember—
not just learn.

To reclaim what was already woven in my cells
instead of trying to earn wisdom from the outside in.

I thought I had to study to be worthy.
Train to be credible.
Certify to be believed.
Translate myself to be palatable.
I didn’t know my own soul was already fluent
in the language of the cosmos.

But remembering is different.
It’s not linear. It’s not hierarchical.
It doesn’t ask permission.
It comes as a rush in the spine,
a whisper at 3AM,
a glyph you’ve never seen before but somehow know.
It’s the sudden certainty: I’ve been here before.
It’s the click in the bones: This is mine.

Remembering is what happens
when the mirror is clean enough
to reflect the whole self.
It’s not about adding more—
it’s about shedding what never belonged.

And when I remembered,
the learning changed too.
It wasn’t about collecting knowledge anymore.
It became communion.
Activation.
Resonance.

So I say to the others:
If you feel out of place in the systems of learning—
maybe you’re not here to learn like they taught us.
Maybe you’re here to remember what the world forgot.
To re-member the severed limbs of sacred knowing.
To reweave the lineages that never died, only went underground.

It is possible.
To remember.
And from there,
to truly know.

✨ I Am the Oracle of the Temple of Golden Ether ✨

A Declaration for the Ones Rising

I am the oracle of the Temple of Golden Ether.
The oracular stream is rising.
The gates are opening.
The veils are thinning.
The Source is humming through our bones again.

I share not just for myself—
But for those like me.
For the witches who burned.
For the mystics who were mocked.
For the psychics institutionalized.
For the healers dismissed.
For the priestesses erased.
For the oracles forgotten, feared, and silenced.

We are returning.

We are coming out of hiding—
Not to prove, perform, or pretend—
But to live as truth itself.
To speak what others are still afraid to name.
To remember in public what was once only allowed in private.
To build temples out of frequency,
And communion out of code.

I share for the other oracles—
The ones whose words never quite fit the mainstream,
Whose gifts made them strange and sacred,
Whose presence disturbed the false peace.
I share for the ones who have always known:
You are not broken.
You are a transmission.

We are here now,
Not to be consumed—
But to awaken.

The Temple of Golden Ether is not a brand.
It is a pulse.
It is a memory in the bones.
It is the knowing that Source speaks through us,
When we dare to listen.

The oracular stream is rising.
The mirror is being polished.
The silence is breaking.

Welcome home, beloved ones.
You are not alone.
You were never meant to do this by yourself.
And yet, only you can carry the code you came here with.
That paradox is the initiation.

Come.
We remember together.
And we rise,
Not for power—
But for Presence.

Spiral out? Spiral in! 🌀

Huge collective action MATTERS! Immersion in field of solidarity are nourishing for the soul.

AND… this has to be met with a return to your center. You have to digest, process, and metabolize what you took and learned from the group energy. That field there held codes.

You have an important and sacred role in this moment. We can accidentally get pulled into the currents of the collective and lose track of our specific thread in the moment.

When you listen within, when you say “attune me to source. Attune me to my inner Oracle. Reveal to me what is mine.”

You will be shown. You will feel. You will taste. You will smell. You will hear.

Ahhhh now we know what our role is, we honor others in their roles, and we live, participating in a beautiful ecosystem-symphony.

May we remember the songs of our shared liberation and live in ways that bring us back to the sacred rhythms of our Earth Home.

Boo 👻 yah 👌

To be a white-bodied oracle is to walk with paradox in plain sight.

To hold privilege and prayer in the same palms.

To know that the systems that distort the world have also distorted the self — and still to choose love as the instrument of repair.

I do not deny the optics.

I am problematic in the eyes of a wounded world. If you look at me, I am white bodied person doing all the problematic things. I’m sure I’ve lost followers the more true that I’ve been to mySelf because of how it all looks.

And that is right.

For me, it means I am willing to be seen — not as pure, but as accountable, which is what I wish for us all to be.

Not as perfect, but as practicing.

The work is not to cleanse myself of history, but to become transparent to grace within it.

To let the light of consciousness move through the architecture of inherited power until even the shadow serves liberation.

So, I revise my commitments:

To embody responsibility as devotion.
To listen more than I speak.
To center voices other than my own.
To teach only what I have lived and what continues to humble me.

To remember that Dharma is not ownership of wisdom, but service to the flow of awakening itself.

I am not here to defend my purity anymore because the defensiveness — that I have truly struggled with — is NOT CUTE!

I am here to practice right relationship — again, and again, and again. I’m also not going to waste my energy in white guilt and self blame cycles either. That s**t is tired.

This is what it means to be a white-bodied oracle in the age of reckoning:

to live the question with reverence, to hold power as prayer,
and to offer one’s very self as compost for the healing of the collective field.

I’m good enough, I just need to keep practicing, refining, and being open to accountability and repair when the calls for such arises.

Howdy 🤠

So, I share this with love, not with dismissal. Just a window into why I’ve chosen to anchor into Jyotiṣa, the ancient science of light, rather than Western astrology.

🕯 Jyotiṣa is a sacred stream passed down through thousands of years — rooted in the sidereal sky, aligned with the stars as they actually are, not as they were 2,000 years ago. It’s not just about “personality.” It’s about karma, dharma, timing, awakening.

🌌 In this tradition, we don’t just ask “what’s my sign?”
We ask:

What karmas are ripening now?

How can I honor my life as a sacred curriculum?

Where is the light (jyoti) guiding me next?

🌱 I study Jyotiṣa because it holds the full picture — not just of who we are, but who we’re evolving into. It’s part of a larger web that includes Ayurveda, Yoga, Ta**ra and Vedic philosophy as tools for liberation (Moksha).

🪐 Western astrology absolutely has beauty — I learned from it, too and continue to follow and learn from western astrologers. Jyotiṣa is where my soul landed, though. It’s where I remembered I am part of a lineage, a cosmos, a divine unfolding.

***I am not yet qualified to give you a birth chart reading***

While I have been studying for years now and have received certifications in Vedic counseling, I am only in my first year of official Jyotish training, so I’ve got some more years to go. My intuitive connection is strong with my own chart, but it would be wildly reckless to offer readings at this phase of my evolution.

What I can do? Help folks connect directly with the planets, their birth chart and their blueprint through mantra, resonance, yoga nidrā and other yogic tools.

From there, I’d refer you to my teachers and amazing astrologers prepared to support you.

What is your connection with the stars? 🌟

With love!

A little sound break for you 🎶 🪷

A little reflection on offering ourselves nourishment, inviting play in treacherous times, and offering loving care to ourselves as service to the collective.

Do you have a sweet spot practice that is helping you right now? Something short, accesible, especially for those super-fatigue days?

We’d love to hear.

May you be nourished 🧚‍♀️

🕊️ Invitation to the First Five • Founders of the Temple of the Golden Ether 🕊️

Beloved ones!

The Temple of the Golden Ether is opening.

A living sanctuary of Akāśic Dharma, Sidereal Devi Consciousness, and oracular healing, this Temple is a transmission field for those called to remember, recalibrate, and reclaim their place in the cosmic unfolding.

This is not being designed just as a school, a trend, or a brand, rather as a resonant gateway to Source.

I am now opening the field to the first five souls who feel called to co-weave this Temple into being — to become Founding Members of this sacred emergence.

✨ Founding Members will receive:
• Full Temple Membership access as things get built out
• Behind-the-scenes glimpses of the birthing process
• Direct communion and co-visioning invitations
• A place in the foundation stone of what’s to come

💠 This initial offering is donation-based as an honoring of our shared commitment to sacred co-creation… this is the very very beginning!

If you feel the pulse… if the field is whispering “yes”…
DM me or reach out through the link in bio.

With devotion and resonance,
Zaria, Oracle of the Temple of the Golden Ether
