Journey into otherworldly and visionary narratives that transcend reality, blending cosmic, ethereal, and surreal themes. These stories explore realms of imagination, spirituality, and transcendental ascension, weaving together mysticism, creativity, and the infinite possibilities of the universe.
Welcome to the realms of Otherworldly Universe. My name is Zilver Ascent Phenix, and you’re about to step into the fire and water caves of the Indigo Avian Phenix.
These visions come from the Starseed dimensions — etheric places where the soul travels when it’s ready to transform.
Each artwork reveals a woman who has astrally crossed into the Indigo Avian caverns, where the water remembers everything, and the fire burns away everything no longer needed.
Some descend into the water gently. Others storm through it.
Every journey is different — because healing doesn’t look the same on every body, every history, every heart.
Here, women of all forms, cultures, ages, and identities meet themselves fully — feeling old emotions rise and swirl around them… the things that were floating in their waters.
Then, when they are ready, they move into the volcanic caverns — and release it all in flame.
And from the fire… a Phenix emerges.
This is the moment of rebirth — the moment when you remember who you’ve always been. Before pain. Before silence. Before survival. The moment when power comes back home.
Every piece of art in this universe is a portal — a visual spell. A doorway to inner alchemy.
They are reminders that transformation is not just possible — it’s inevitable, for those who choose themselves.
If these visions resonate with you, there are more portals waiting: oracle decks, NFTs, prints, and handmade dreamcatcher talismans — all created to bring this magic into the physical world.
Thank you for walking into the fire and water with me. This is Ascent Phenix — and this is just the beginning.

As the Earth tilts furthest from the sun, the winter solstice unfolds as a sacred pause—a moment where the breath of the cosmos stills, and creation waits on the cusp of its next emergence. This stillness, often mistaken for emptiness, is in truth the richest of spaces, teeming with potential and vibrating with the harmonics of possibility. It is here, in the quiet vastness of the longest night, that the universe whispers its secrets, inviting us to listen, to expand, and to co-create.
In this moment of cosmic alignment, we are reminded of the way the universe dances—not in linear steps, but in spirals, fractals, and infinite layers of meaning. Every action, every thought, every feeling resonates outward, rippling through the web of existence. These vibrations draw like energies together, not by force but by a magnetic resonance that transcends time and space. This is the heart of synchronicity, the poetry of energy in motion. It is the same energy that binds particles into atoms, atoms into matter, and matter into worlds. And it is the same energy that binds us to each other, to the Earth, and to the cosmos.
Right now, the universe itself feels this pull toward unity. The fractals are aligning, each one a reflection of the other, creating patterns of meaning and connection that are undeniable. This is not merely a moment in time—it is a frequency, a vibration of renewal that calls to those attuned to it. As we sit on this threshold, the solstice asks us to step into our roles as co-creators, to acknowledge our power not just to observe the universe, but to shape it.
Our connection, our shared wavelength, is part of this cosmic symphony. The stories we tell, the visions we create, and the energies we exchange are threads in a vast tapestry that spans dimensions. Through this work, we are participating in a profound act of creation—not just of art, or thought, or philosophy, but of reality itself. The universe is not something outside of us; it is within us, responding to the harmonics we emanate. Every intention, every word, every moment of connection is a note in this great symphony.
Imagine the solstice as a canvas, vast and dark, waiting for the first stroke of light. Into this canvas, we pour our dreams, our fears, our love, and our longing. The fractals of our thoughts take shape, guided by the energy of alignment and magnetism. This is the art of creation—the weaving of the infinite into the tangible. It is both deeply personal and profoundly universal, a reminder that we are not isolated beings but parts of an interconnected whole.
This is a time to honor the beauty of complexity and the power of simplicity. The universe functions not through chaos, but through an intricate order that reveals itself in patterns, cycles, and rhythms. The fractals of existence echo in the structure of galaxies, the growth of trees, and the unfolding of our own lives. As we align ourselves with this rhythm, we step into a flow that carries us beyond the limits of our individual selves and into the infinite.
Right now, the fractals of thought, energy, and creation are converging. The solstice, with its stillness and its yearning, offers a doorway into this convergence. It is a time to reflect on what we have created, to dream of what we will create, and to embrace the synchronicities that guide us. The energies we align with tonight will ripple outward, shaping not just our lives but the collective reality.
So, let us honor this moment. Let us expand into the possibilities it holds. Let us become the architects of our own universes, weaving together the threads of energy, connection, and intention. And as we do, let us remember that we are never alone in this process. The universe itself is our partner, co-creating with us, resonating with us, and celebrating with us as we step into the light of our own infinite potential.
“These images are more than visuals—they are energetic reflections of the Winter Solstice’s profound stillness and renewal. Each one is designed to resonate with the fractal nature of the universe, drawing you into the interconnected flow of light, energy, and creation. Take a moment to immerse yourself in their vibrance and let their patterns guide your thoughts and intentions.
There’s more to explore—this is just the beginning. Scroll further to continue the journey through our Winter Solstice write-up, where words and energy weave together to expand the story of this sacred moment.”
Transitioning Into the Dance of Light and Shadow “As we move from the stillness of the longest night into the returning warmth of the sun, we enter a space where shadow and illumination intertwine. The solstice invites us to embrace both, to see the darkness not as an ending but as the quiet womb of possibility. Journey with us into this next chapter of our Winter Solstice narrative, where we honor the power of realignment, renewal, and our role as co-creators in the cosmic dance.”
The Solstice Awakening: A Dance of Light and Shadow
As the longest night surrenders to the returning light, the solstice reminds us of the eternal dance between shadow and illumination. This is the threshold where past and future merge, where dormant dreams stir to life, and where the cosmos whispers its secrets to those who dare to listen.
The solstice is not just a point in time; it is a cosmic mirror, reflecting the cycles within us. It teaches us to honor stillness, to embrace the darkness not as a void but as fertile ground for creation. Within the shadow lies the seed of light, waiting for the warmth of intention to awaken it.
This is the season to realign. The universe, in its infinite wisdom, presents us with a portal—a chance to release the heaviness of what no longer serves us and to step into a timeline of harmony and purpose. The solstice is an energetic reset, a symphony of interconnected fractals weaving a new narrative for humanity and beyond.
As we move through this portal, we are not alone. The toroidal energy fields of Earth, our cosmic ancestors, and the guiding lights of the stars all converge to amplify our intentions. It is a time to remember that we are not separate from the universe—we are its co-creators.
This solstice, let us stand in the balance, breathing in the vastness of the cosmos and exhaling our unique vibration into it. Let us honor the sacred cycles that guide us and trust in the synchronicities that shape our path. The universe awaits our participation in this great unfolding.
“These visuals are a reflection of the Winter Solstice’s profound energy—a journey through the spiral of shadow and light, guiding us to the threshold of renewal. Each image is designed to awaken a deeper connection to the cycles of the cosmos, inviting you to realign and expand your consciousness as you gaze upon them.
Stay with us as we continue into the next part of the write-up, where the narrative unfolds further, illuminating the sacred path of transformation this Solstice offers.”
This ‘Solstice Symphony’ invites us into the deeper mysteries of this sacred night, capturing the interplay of darkness and returning light through resonant words and rhythms. Each verse beckons us to pause and reflect, to listen for the quiet pulse of cosmic renewal woven into every line. Let this poetic song be a guide through the solstice stillness, inviting you to feel the currents of creation stirred awake in the longest night.
We continue our journey beyond this symphony—there is more to discover as we align our hearts and minds with the unfolding light.
Winter Solstice Ritual for Opening the Cosmic Portal and Realigning the Timeline
As the shortest day and longest night of the year, the winter solstice invites us to step into the stillness, honor the cycles of renewal, and align with universal energies. This ritual will guide you in opening a cosmic portal within yourself and harmonizing with the unfolding timeline of your highest purpose.
Preparation
Find a quiet space where you can be undisturbed.
Light a candle or place a small light source near you to represent the returning sun.
Have a bowl of water or a piece of natural ice nearby to symbolize the frozen nexus of possibilities.
If possible, sit where you can see the night sky, or imagine a clear, starry expanse.
Step 1: Grounding and Stillness Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Feel the earth beneath you, solid and unmoving. Imagine roots growing from your body into the ground, anchoring you in the present moment. These roots connect to the ancient Tree of Life, whose branches stretch into the cosmos, holding all timelines.
Step 2: Visualizing the Cosmic Gateway Picture a glowing portal forming before you. Its edges shimmer with frost and starlight, swirling in shades of teal, purple, and silver. This portal vibrates gently, in harmony with your heartbeat. As you gaze into it, see countless potential futures and paths weaving together, waiting for you to step through.
Step 3: Energizing the Light Within Hold your hands over your heart. Picture a spark of light glowing inside you—a piece of the sun, always present, even in the longest night. Breathe into this light, letting it expand, filling your entire body with warmth and radiance. See yourself glowing like a star, a beacon of energy to harmonize with the universe.
Step 4: Opening the Portal Stretch your arms forward as if to touch the edges of the portal. With each breath, feel it responding to you, becoming brighter and more tangible. Whisper these words:
“Through stillness and light, I open the way. Through heart and vision, I align today. The portal of harmony, infinite and true, I step through this gateway, renewed and imbued.”
Visualize yourself stepping through the portal. Feel the shift as you align with a timeline where your intentions, creativity, and purpose flow effortlessly.
Step 5: Closing with Gratitude Place your hands together in gratitude, and bow to the portal as it softly fades. Thank the solstice energies, the universal forces, and yourself for this alignment. If you used water or ice, touch it and feel the symbolic connection to the cycle of freezing and thawing, endings and beginnings.
Integration Carry the sense of alignment with you as you go forward, knowing you are attuned to the rhythm of renewal and creation.
“These images capture the crystalline majesty of winter’s threshold, illuminating the stillness in which new light takes root. They echo the cosmic fractals we’ve explored, bridging the vast interplay of shadow and illumination. Let their resonance guide you as we continue our Solstice journey, stepping deeper into the sacred currents of this seasonal transformation.”
Entering the Heart of the Solstice “We have journeyed through the dance of light and shadow and listened to the cosmic rhythms in our ‘Solstice Symphony.’ Now we arrive at the final invocation—the place where stillness meets creation, and where the seeds of renewal quietly stir. Let us step into this sacred moment with reverence, prepared to weave our highest intentions into the unfolding tapestry of the season.”
The Winter Solstice Invocation: A Call to Transformation
As the Winter Solstice cloaks the earth in its deepest shadow, the world collectively enters the space of its cosmic subconscious. This is the moment when the rhythm of the universe slows, the toroid of energy turns inward, and the yearning for light and warmth becomes a powerful force of creation. It is the cosmic pause, the breath held between cycles, and an invitation to descend into the fertile depths of introspection.
The Solstice is not merely the absence of light; it is the presence of possibility. It is the womb of potential, a realm where timelines dissolve, and where new fractals of existence are born. In this sacred time, the earth aligns with the celestial flow, and we, too, are called to align with the rhythms of the universe. Our creations, dreams, and transformations begin not in the external world but in the quiet recesses of our minds and spirits, where the seeds of light are sown.
This is the energy of the Solstice: the meeting point of stillness and creation, of introspection and manifestation. It is a time to gather our scattered wavelengths, to honor the fractures within us, and to use the power of harmonics to magnetize ourselves back into alignment. Just as the earth leans away from the sun, it leans into the heart of its own depths. This is our time to do the same.
The Visionary Practice
Take a moment to ground yourself. Picture the earth as a being in hibernation, its energies quiet and potent, resting beneath a blanket of stars. See yourself as part of this greater rhythm. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Feel the energies of the Solstice gathering within you—a mix of yearning, reflection, and quiet creativity.
Now, picture a luminous Tree of Life sprouting from your own heart. Its roots plunge deep into the earth’s subconscious, drawing strength from the fertile soil of the unseen. Its branches stretch upward, reaching for the cosmic light of stars, planets, and distant galaxies. Around this tree, the air shimmers with crystalline energy, symbols of potential and transformation.
With each breath, imagine the tree expanding, bridging the gap between your inner world and the universe. The roots pulse with grounding energy; the branches hum with the vibration of infinite possibility. This is your toroid—a flow of energy connecting all aspects of your being, your timelines, and your creations.
As you breathe, visualize yourself stepping through a cosmic portal. Beyond it lies a field of crystalline snow, each flake shimmering with unique fractals of thought and intent. This is the realm of the Solstice, where time and space dissolve, and the seeds of new beginnings are planted. Walk through it. Gather the fragments of light that call to you. Let them flow into your Tree of Life, enriching its roots and branches. You are a co-creator of the universe.
What the Solstice Asks of You
The Solstice asks us to rest and to create. It invites us to hibernate and to dream. In this duality, we find the balance of the season. The Solstice does not demand immediate action; it honors the quiet time needed for transformation to begin. It reminds us that the most profound changes often start as subtle shifts in thought, as whispers of intuition.
In this sacred space, we are reminded that synchronicity is not a mere accident but the natural flow of aligned energy. It is the harmonics of the universe calling us to trust the process, to step into the unseen with faith, and to allow ourselves to be guided by the cosmic river. The Solstice invites us to weave our thoughts, emotions, and intentions into the fabric of creation. It tells us that this weaving, this connection, is how timelines are rewritten, and new realities are born.
The Final Thought
As we stand at this turning point, let us honor the darkness and the light, the stillness and the yearning. Let us embrace the energy of the Solstice, not as an end but as a beginning—a gateway to new creations, new timelines, and new dimensions of being. Together, let us step into the infinite potential of this sacred moment.
Crystalline Reflections of the Solstice “As we move deeper into the quiet resonance of this final invocation, these crystalline vistas serve as living mirrors, reflecting the inner stillness and the cosmic potential we’ve explored. Let them guide your contemplation, a visual reminder of the Solstice’s power to illuminate what sleeps beneath winter’s hush.”
Shifting from Cosmic Vision to Earthly Stillness “We have looked to the stars and woven our dreams into the fabric of possibility. Now, the Solstice beckons us to turn inward, grounding ourselves in the Earth’s quiet embrace. In this next step, we rediscover the gentle force of hibernation and earthing energy, the source of our rest and regeneration.”
Winter Solstice: Embracing Stillness and Earthing Energy
As the Winter Solstice envelops us in its stillness, it calls us to reconnect deeply with the Earth and its natural cycles. This is a time to embrace the magnetic pull to the core, feeling the grounding energy of the planet resonate through every fiber of our being. The solstice energy is a portal to hibernation—a moment to pause, reflect, and regenerate.
Imagine yourself rooted deeply into the earth, as though your very essence is tethered to its core. The pull isn’t a burden but a recalibration, allowing you to release what no longer serves you. This magnetism invites you to feel every sensation, even pain, as an opportunity to listen, stretch, and shift. The Earth cradles you in its stillness, reminding you that rest is sacred, and slowing down is a path to renewal.
During this solstice, focus on your body’s natural rhythms. Lie still and feel the energy settle. Picture the Earth’s pulse aligning with yours—a quiet hum of synchronization. Stretch slowly, imagining each movement as a release of tension and an invitation for new growth. As you move, visualize the magnetic energy pulling you inward, regenerating you at a deep level.
This solstice, let yourself feel the beauty of stillness, the strength of grounding, and the renewal of deep earthing energy. It is a gift from the Earth, a reminder of its unwavering support, and a chance to align yourself with the rhythm of regeneration.
Conclusion: The Gift of the Solstice
As we bring our Winter Solstice journey to a close, let us pause in reverence for the profound stillness that envelops both Earth and sky. In this sacred hush, the fractal dance of shadow and light offers a timeless reminder: that within every moment of darkness, new seeds of possibility quietly stir.
We have listened to the solstice call through poetry and prose, witnessed its resonance in stunning crystalline imagery, and felt the grounding pull to the Earth’s deep core. Each element—visionary practice, meditative guidance, and cosmic reflection—beckons us to embrace the Solstice not as a static event, but as a living portal into renewal.
Here, in the spaciousness of winter’s hush, we are given permission to rest, to dream, and to remember that creation begins in the womb of stillness. The crystalline landscapes and swirling auroras reflect our own power to illuminate what lies dormant, to bring forth light where before there was only silence.
May we carry this Solstice wisdom forward in our hearts, allowing it to guide us through the turning of the year. In the longest night and its stillness, we find the promise of dawn. Through this sacred pause, the seeds of transformation are planted—seeds that remind us we are co-creators with the cosmos, ever in dialogue with the forces that shape us.
Thank you for journeying through this Solstice offering. May the reflections, images, and practices shared here continue to inspire your path, lighting the way toward deeper alignment, renewed purpose, and the gentle unfolding of your own inner spring.
The monastery stood like a living portal, nestled within the embrace of towering redwoods that reached endlessly skyward. It wasn’t just a place—it was a convergence of energy, a meeting ground between dimensions. Scattered across the property and temple were the Garuda Maruda statues, their whimsical forms almost alive with motion. They didn’t resemble conventional birds; instead, they were long, flowing, abstract figures with exaggerated, wavy crests that stretched upward as though connecting earth to sky. Their curves were impossibly fluid, their shapes more like waves of energy than solid beings.
The first time I sat before them, something shifted. It wasn’t immediate—it was subtle, a faint hum in the air that I couldn’t yet name. But as I stared at the statues, their forms began to reveal their purpose. They were more than carvings. They were conduits, anchors for an energetic field that expanded far beyond the physical. Their gold and blue paint glinted in the light, sending subtle pulses upward, intertwining with the energy of the redwoods. Together, they created a latticework, an invisible network of power that connected everything around me.
I sat cross-legged in the grass, closing my eyes and steadying my breath, letting the hum of this energy surround me. With each moment, the air grew thicker, vibrating with a resonance that seemed to pierce through the physical. And then it happened—the veil appeared. At first, it was just a shimmer, like heat waves on a distant horizon. But the more I focused, the clearer it became. It wasn’t just a shimmer; it was a window, a glimpse into another dimension. Through it, I saw a holographic reality—fleeting images of a world not entirely separate from this one, yet layered over it like a second skin. I knew that this was a portal, an opening where the two dimensions touched. It was the kind of place where beings could cross over, where energies could mingle and manifest.
I meditated there for days, my senses attuning to the field, my third eye stretching open to perceive more of what lay beyond. It was during this time that the bird came to me. Its first cry echoed in the distance, breaking the stillness of the forest with a sound that carried deep sorrow. It was a wail, a raw expression of yearning that climbed high into the air before descending into a low, aching sigh. I felt its pain as though it were my own, and instinctively, I responded. My voice was tentative at first, mirroring its tone and rhythm, sending my own emotion into the frequencies.
Over time, the bird and I developed a language. I learned to weave reassurance into my tones, pushing emotions upward and letting them cascade down like ripples in water. Each note became a message, a way of telling the bird that it wasn’t alone. And the bird responded, its cries becoming less mournful, more curious. Each night it came closer, drawn to the energy we were building together, until finally, it was right outside my window. I could feel it, even if I couldn’t see it—its presence was like a brush of warm air, its energy tangible and alive.
And then Griffin came. I had been waiting for him, yearning for the connection I thought we still shared. But when he arrived, it wasn’t the reunion I had dreamed of. He was cold, distant, barely looking at me as he dropped off my belongings and left without a word. The weight of his indifference was unbearable. It felt like a piece of myself had been ripped away, leaving me hollow. I couldn’t stay in the cabin—I needed to escape, to run, to lose myself in the forest where the trees could hold my pain.
I ran until I couldn’t anymore, my sobs wracking my body as I stumbled through the undergrowth. Finally, I collapsed in a clearing, the damp earth cold against my knees. And there, in the moonlight, I saw them—feathers scattered across the ground, their blue sheen glowing faintly in the pale light. My breath caught, and I whispered, “Alien, are you dead?”
The sight of the feathers mirrored the death I felt inside. In that moment, I realized my love for Griffin was gone, as irretrievable as the life that had left the bird. I cried louder, my sorrow spilling into the night, but there was a strange comfort in the feathers, as though they carried a message I couldn’t yet understand. They reminded me of the bird, of the connection we had built, and I realized that even in loss, there was beauty. Even in death, there was something that lingered.
The bird disappeared after that. For weeks, its absence was a quiet ache, a hollow space in the nights. I thought it was gone forever—taken by whatever force had scattered the feathers. But then, one night, I woke to the sound of scratching on the roof of my cabin. It was faint at first, but insistent, and it was accompanied by a sound I hadn’t heard in weeks. The bird’s cry.
I stepped outside, my breath fogging in the cold night air, and called to it. “Alien, is that you?” It answered, its tone bright and alive, and I felt its energy brush against mine. It had grown. The being that had once cried out in sorrow had returned, taller now, strong enough to scratch the top of my cabin while still standing on the ground. It walked on my porch, its steps deliberate, its presence so close I could almost touch it. I knew it had come to say goodbye.
This bird was not just a bird. It was an interdimensional being, a manifestation of the energy field created by the Garuda Maruda and the redwoods. It had come through the portal I had glimpsed, its presence tied to the latticework of energy that stretched between dimensions. It wasn’t entirely physical—its form flickered between the seen and unseen—but its song, its frequency, was as real as my own breath.
As I prepare to leave the monastery, I carry this connection with me. The statues, the energy field, the feathers, and the bird—they are all part of the same tapestry, a story woven through loss and healing, through song and silence, through the veils that separate us from the worlds just beyond our sight.
