Ingwavuma Day celebrates the life of both a winged StarLion (Ingwavuma I) and a future king (Ingwavuma II). They remind us that we are living in prophetic times, beyond the clock. In this 13th<\/sup> hour, we are called to lead lives of authenticity, reverence for and purposeful service to Nature.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Angelic \u201cwinged\u201d beings are depicted in mythological texts around the globe, yet here in the wilderness of the White Lions\u2019 ancestral heartlands, they are a living reality.<\/p>\n

It is 23 years to the day since my winged Lion Guardian, Ingwavuma I<\/a>, was gunned down by a trophy hunter. His departure on the last day of the month of Leo was no coincidence, but part of a greater cosmic plan. In Mystery of the White Lions, I recall that his death shook me out of unconsciousness. \u201cThere, upon the lion mountain of Legogotsi, I made a silent promise that I would never again overlook a message which nature sent me.\u201d<\/p>\n

To the preposterous trophy-hunting industry, he was just another stuffed trophy mounted on the wall in a vain attempt to illustrate domination over Nature. To me and other emergent LionHearted leaders, his passing was, and still is, indicative of humanity\u2019s misuse of fire. It left a deep scar in my soul, but also deepened my understanding of the importance of the White Lions for these evolutionary times. Once I better recognised the cosmic alignments of this moment, it resulted in a rejuvenated purpose to restore right relationship with Earth.<\/p>\n

Ingwavuma I\u2019s death occurred at the exact moment the setting sun came into perfect alignment with Regulus, heart star of the Leo constellation. Ancient Egyptians believed this alignment to be the pinnacle of cosmic events. They also believed that it signals the ascension of a Pharoah \u2013 a lion king \u2013 back to the stars and their true, eternal nature. Ingwavuma I\u2019s sacrifice was the moment where reality and myth became one, and I came to understand it was providential. His death and the firepower used to extinguish his life, is a real-life metaphor for the path of self-destruction down which humanity is stumbling, one from which we may not be able to return.<\/p>\n

For me, Ingwavuma I\u2019s departure in this cosmic alignment was affirmation that the myth of the \u201cStarLions\u201d\u00a0is a reality in our times.<\/p>\n

Harbingers of our own demise<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>In our time, we are witnessing the repercussions of the misuse of fire on a global scale. This article coincides with the global release of the biopic Oppenheimer<\/em> whose eponymous character, J. Robert Oppenheimer was the creator of the atomic bomb, the detonation of which remains a landmark abuse of firepower in the wars humanity has waged. However, our entire fossil fuel economy is based on the exploitation and pollution of Earth\u2019s resources, alongside the reckless extraction through seismic blasting of her pristine coastlines.<\/p>\n

July was Earth\u2019s hottest month on record. Wildfires obliterated the Hawaiian island of Maui and continue to tear apart California, southern Europe and western Canada. We are set to exceed the 1.5-degree Celsius limit set at the Paris Accord. In counterpoint, unprecedented floods have reshaped landscapes from Delhi to Beijing, with the latter experiencing its heaviest rainfall in 140 years following Typhoon Doksuri. Underlying all of this is not global warming, but our complete lack of respect for Nature.<\/p>\n

My view is that we are in the 13th hour, beyond the clock.<\/p>\n

Our epoch of human dominion of our planet is over, whether we realise it or not. It is only grace and realignment into sacred relationship of reverential service to Gaia that will carry us through, as she reclaims her dominion. We are not in charge here.<\/p>\n

Recognising this fundamental truth<\/a> helps us to restore our ancient contract with Gaia. When we follow good governance and come to understand \u201cTsau\u201d, the connection of the White Lions and the stars, our consumptive existence will cease. We will turn our backs on consumption and usher in a Golden Age, characterised by true predation and a reverence for Nature, taking no more from Her than we need.<\/p>\n

The Sun Prince cometh<\/strong><\/p>\n

This age is already unfolding, and I see it birthing every day in the Heartlands of Timbavati. Every new age calls in angelic Starbeings to assist. It was Credo Mutwa<\/a> who shared that the name \u201cTimba-vaati\u201d means: \u201cPlace where the StarLions came down.\u201d\u00a0 The White Lions are the StarLions who bring humanity the message for the Golden Age.<\/p>\n

This was the framework through which I started to understand all the key events that took place in the days that followed Ingwavuma I\u2019s passing. At the time, it gave me some comfort to be informed by my shamanic teachers that sometimes a \u201cKing must pass to make way for the birth of a Queen\u201d.<\/p>\n

This was confirmed with Marah\u2019s birth<\/a> in Bethlehem on Christmas Day, less than four months after Ingwavuma I\u2019s death. Her birth was the fulfilment of an ancient prophecy, and it coincided with an eclipse event (Sun, Moon and Earth in alignment with the Blue Star, Sirius). Like their sacred mother, Marah\u2019s children: Letaba, Regeus and Zihra, and grandchildren: Matsieng, Zukhara and Nebu, were born on sacred dates coinciding with eclipse events.<\/p>\n

These cosmic alignments culminated with the birth of a little golden male, Ingwavuma II – a fourth-generation birth through an eclipse. On this amazing cosmic occasion, the eclipse coincided with the 8:8 Lions Gate Portal.<\/p>\n

Even as a little cub he displayed the courage, character, and majesty of Ingwavuma I. Knowing that this baby \u201cwinged lion\u201d would carry the lineage of the White Lions into the future, just as his namesake, Ingwavuma I was destined to do before he was hunted, it is little wonder that I named this cub, birthed through mythical alignments and regal ancestry, Ingwavuma II.<\/p>\n

Like all the StarLions in the HeartLands, Ingwavuma II is a living myth. \u00a0His very existence reminds us of our stellar identity and higher purpose. As we celebrate this Ingwavuma Day, let us recommit to fulfilling our sacred contract and embodying LionHeartedness \u2013 that quality of fearlessness, inspired by love and respect for the natural world that enables us to change our human world for the better.<\/p>\n
