THE THREE 
            RAYS ESSENCE
          Three 
            Rays Essence 
             - THE HOLM OAK WITH AQUA AURA  CRYSTAL
          The Three Ray Essences is about the alchemy of healing, unity within the  physical body, the mental body and the spiritual body. It is the Sacred  Trinity, which enfolds all Life. From a vision given at the Chalice Well in  2002, the guidance for this union was gifted. Three hooded figures arose from  the Well head, one holding the cross, for the devotional Ray, the other holding  the pentagram, for the Earth healing ray, and in the centre, this figure held  the Caduceus, the alchemical, hermetic ray.   This powerful vision holds the key of knowledge and wisdom on many  levels. It is the embodiment of all energies that flow and within the sacred  Avalon,
          This essence  was created in Glastonbury, near the winter solstice, 2004. The Holm Oak sits  in a beautiful shaded area on a small ridge running alongside the ruins. It has  grown impressively tall and holds sentinel over the Abbey. The energy radiating  out is like a gentle but very ancient guardian spirit. The Holm Oak is an  evergreen and has the qualities of oak and holly combined. This makes the tree  a champion of endurance and longevity with the essence of stimulating change  and resolving long held negative habits. With Aqua Aura, a crystal that is  known as a master healer, for the inclusion of Gold, this essence will reach  deep to cellular levels and is helpful for boosting the immune system.

          THE HOLM OAK 
          
          The Holm Oak sits in a beautiful  shaded area on a small ridge running alongside Glastonbury Abbey. She has grown  to an impressive height, almost as tall as the highest tower of the Abbey  ruins. She holds sentinel over the Abbey. The energy radiating out is like a  gentle but so very ancient guardian Spirit. She made her presence felt and  called out to me, when I first started the Three Rays Essence at the Ash tree  along Paradise walk. The Three Rays holds the energy of Christ consciousness,  the Christos, and the Holm Oak seemed to be called to activate that element in  the essence making, because of the location, within the grounds of Glastonbury  Abbey. Situated along the Michael and Mary line, the Abbey creates a haven of  sheer peace, amidst the frenetic milieu of Glastonbury town. Entering the  Abbey, you leave Nuage infringements way behind. All the superficiality of  “Spiritual super marketing” disappears into the void, from whence it came.
          I came to the Holm Oak on very cold, crisp winters day, very close  to Winter Solstice. The days are so short, I looked at the fading light, and  spectacular sunset, at mid afternoon, thinking of the sheer transient beauty of  this time of year. When we approach the challenge between the Holly and the Oak  king, we know the victor will bring the sun back over the New Year to warm our  bones, and give energy to plants and animals. The Holm Oak, not native of this  country, being evergreen, sits aside of this battle of the seasons. Some call  her the Holy Oak, for she grows to a massive size and old age, like her  deciduous cousin, but remains like the Holly, forever green. This coupling of  the Holly and the Oak, makes this tree a champion of endurance and longevity,  and for me, knowing her like a friend, the most inspiring source of creativity.  She is the Creative Source , a guiding spirit for all humans to  link into. She is very saddened by the self-abuse she sees us do to ourselves.  She is like a painter of the filigree filaments of the creative web, the  highest energy holding this creative force. 
  I will not apologise for genderizing the Holm oak, for that is how  she showed herself to me, after ordering me to “put that cigarette out” if I wanted to sit near her. She showed me how she creates with these white  filaments, for she is bright white and flowing herself, as both part of the Web  and creatress of the web. 
          I laid the essence, Chalice water and the Aqua Aura crystal in a  neat cleft inside the trunk. Almost two trees have grown, growing outwards to  give a breath- taking girth. She has grown in a beautiful shape, also, with  branches reaching back down to the Earth and outwards to almost touch the tip  of the Abbey ruins. She leans over, too, as if to reach out to the Abbey. She  is absolutely astounding, a corker of a tree! I feel she is in permanent  communion with the spirits within the Abbey, as if giving a pledge never to  forsake them nor they, her, and as I sat on the bench, on the edge of the tiny  ridge, (the best place to sit to view the Abbey) I lost present time and  was drawn most gently in to the Spirits of Glastonbury Abbey. That time was  lived in gentleness, caring, respect and total trust: all the elements that  make Love grow into the Christos and the Earth, so when we walk that beautiful  ground, that is exactly what we feel and become replenished ourselves.
          The Aqua Aura Crystal             
          
          The Aqua Aura chose itself, and  as I learned more of the union between this crystal and the Holm Oak, I  realized how balanced and in keeping with their companion energies they both  are to each other.
          The Aqua Aura is often called a  master healer, for it combines the qualities of quartz crystal and gold  together. Quartz crystal is a receiver, transmitter and transducer, and in that  capacity it receives healing energy, transmits this energy and can change  energies and frequencies to amplify the first two. Quartz crystal is used in  many things, even in this computer I’m using to write this booklet. 
  When gold is added, by the  alchemical fusion by this metal into the quartz, it takes Aqua Aura onto a high  plane for healing work. Gold was used in ancient civilizations to cure many  ills, and is still used today for the most acute diseases like Rheumatoid  Arthritis, a disease that affects the immune system and goes to the cellular  level. Gold was recognised for its power in   ceremonial work, and therefore was regarded as a precious metal.
            Aqua Aura holds the Blue Ray, the  ray of hermetic healing: it is alchemical. It will reach to the inner levels  and is known for aligning the DNA structure and strengthening cellular growth. 
           Combining this with the Holm Oak, makes this essence very  powerful. The Holm Oak radiates the energy of pure creativity, longevity and  endurance. It is strongly compassionate.
