It is 2025 and Ra has been calling loudly to be released again! I have had several requests "out of nowhere" over the last few weeks, and that's always a strong sign that the crystals are calling. As the twin flame to Alta, Ra has enough Alta in them to be very communicative and a little mischievous at times, and always full of magical synchronicity.
Ra comes from Cristalina, Goias, Brazil, and were found very close to the original Alta location. They are tangerine citrine Lemurians, with white and sometimes smoky phantoms.
Since Ra was first released in 2021, many things have changed in our world. Among them, we have had the great good fortune to be introduced to a wider variety of authentic cultural stones and carvings from very old lineages with potent collective energy.
For example, we now have wonderful authentic Egyptian carvings from stones that came from sacred temples and sacred sites in Egypt by Mody Ra, authentic Tibetan relics from Sandy Wu @subrosarising, and deeply inspired Brazilian carvings that reflect Christianity's deepest roots, from Leandro De Souza in Brazil.
With the addition of these potent and authentic energies into our collective experience and our crystal grids, a beautiful infusion of the best of the best is happening. A synergy of energy that is for our times, blending and moving these ancient and sacred ways forward through the ascension process, for the Earth and all her inhabitants.
It is no coincidence that my dear friend and soul sister Sandy Wu was the person who realized these crystals put the "Ra" in Alta-Ra. They are the orange and the citrine that Alta was showing us all along! They are twin flames, so to speak. However, there is a balance to this energy, and just as Alta pairs with Larimar, Ra pairs with Blue Tara. Blue Tara spoke through Sandy on that day, and Ra became know for who it is in truth. 
It was not lost on me at the time that Blue Tara had strong ties to Sandy. And now, to connect more fully and add these energies to my experience, I have gained much deeper insight into Ra and its relationship with Blue Tara.
It is not just the energy of the ocean balancing Ra's fire—it is much more than that. Alta heals with fire, this we know, and requires Larimar for balance to work to its fullest potential. It is no accident I came into a large amount of Larimar prior to releasing Alta. And it is no accident that I came into a large amount of Blue Tara prior to releasing Ra. This is the original Blue Tara from Ipupiara,Bahia, purchased well before the new find of the deeper navy blue from Itacambira was discovered. Bahia is also the location of Altara, an Alta cousin (which is a story for another blog).
One of the most primary qualities of Blue Tara in Tibetan Buddhism is the transmutation of anger into profound wisdom. I cannot think of a more appropriate balancer for the burning heart of Ra. The fire, the passion, and the compassion—without the crippling and self-defeating anger that so often comes with passionate intensity. I feel this is a powerful teaching for the times we are living in right now. And I am humbled and grateful to be able to offer these incredibly conscious crystalline beings to help humanity on its journey, and realize the new Earth.
Ra is all about the burning heart. I initially called them Burning Heart Alta because they were obviously Alta and the song they dropped in my head was Burning Heart, from the movie Rocky IV by Survivor. Ra also showed a strong visual of the Sacred Heart of Mary, the compassionate burning heart of Mary. At the time that made perfect sense because Alta has such a close connection to Mother Mary energies. (Every Alta that I have as a personal piece has named herself with some variation of Mother Mary's names, and many times I did not know until I looked it up.)
After my recent purchases from Sandy, I have been reflecting on the wisdom of Tibetan teachings and the iconography of Vajrasattva -- and the balance of wisdom and compassion. This is reflected in the balance of his symbols: the Dorje(wisdom) and the bell (compassion). Ra is the burning heart, full of passion/compassion. Many of us are burning with this energy now, in this time. This passion must be tempered with wisdom. Gibran says in his discourse on reason and passion:
"For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction..."
Alta is reason, Ra is passion. Alta's reason is softened and balanced with Larimar, a watery emotional stone. Ra's passion is tempered with the transformative wisdom of Blue Tara.
Below is the complete poem by Gibran and the lyrics to Burning Heart. Definitely worth a read.....

From Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" - On Reason and Passion
And the priestess spoke again and said: Speak to us of Reason and Passion.
And he answered, saying:
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgement wage war against your passion and your appetite.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.
But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers, nay, the lovers of all your elements?
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.
I would have you consider your judgment and your appetite even as you would two loved guests in your house. Surely you would not honour one guest above the other; for he who is more mindful of one loses the love and the faith of both.
Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields, and meadows—then let your heart say in silence, "God rests in reason."
And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky,—then let your heart say in awe, "God moves in passion."
And since you are a breath in God's sphere, and a leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.
"Burning Heart" by Survivor
Two worlds collide, rival nations
It's a primitive clash venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West or man against man?
Can any nation stand alone?
[Chorus]
In the burning heart just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire
In the burning heart
[Verse 2]
In the warrior's code there's no surrender
Though his body says "stop!", his spirit cries "never!"
Deep in our soul a quiet ember knows it's you against you
It's the paradox that drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack it's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone
I hope you enjoyed these reflections, this blog was largely stream of consciousness, a spontaneous sharing. For the record, AI does not write my blogs, newsletters, crystal descriptions, Instagram posts, or answer chats and messages for me on any platform, including the shop. When you contact my shop you are contacting me personally, and that is the way I intend to keep it. I love using AI technology to help with office tasks , but talking to my followers and customers is not one of those tasks. I love connecting one to one with you and our beautiful community; and I feel this is more and more important as we move forward through these changing times.
