SOLAR ECLIPSE IMAGES AVAILABLE NOW: Yesterday’s solar eclipse was visible in 70 different countries. No place was better than Spain. Totality occured just before sunset, creating an otherworldly ambient light and scenes like this:
“I captured this photo from the Castle of Gormaz in northern Spain,” says Alexandre Croisier. “The sun emerging from behind the Moon was fantastic.”
Some observers couldn’t get enough. Terence Murtagh caught this airplane following the eclipsed sun into the horizon:

“In the afterglow of the spectacular total eclipse I witnessed from the Valencia airport, I spotted this aircraft lining up with setting sun,” says Murtagh.
These merely scratch the surface of the amazing images we are receiving from the path of totality.

Galactic Tone 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eight. Eights carefully weigh all evidence to reach a balance of justice. Eight is the power of organization demonstrated in the statement, “As above, so below”. From simplicity to infinity, the energy of Eight organizes all levels of creation. Some Eights are “Neat Freaks”.
Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void. a place where nothing yet exists but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. Night’s voyages of dreams build confidence and happiness with a sense of well being. If night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity.
A GOOD TIME TO: Spend some time contemplating the stars.
Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA: Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion. The M42 nebula (home of the Central race from the WingMakers) in the center of the triangle of Orion is the fire in the Hearth, also matching the Mayan. The Hearth is the Torchbearer who holds the light and warmth throughout the night. Belief is so strong that the surrounding elements become entrained to their rhythm and all resistance falls away. With respect and honor of intuition combined with knowledge this energy creates the magic of the center in this dimension. AKBAL-Night-Totem-OWL: Guardian of the Night Sun. Energies for the opening of mystic secrets, seeing through the masks of deception, trickery. High ability of discernment. Portals open to other worlds and dimensions for your learning and spiritual growth. Magical abilities are possible.
