A CAVE OF YOUR OWN
Words evolve in definition over the centuries as well as from one path in life to another. The word cave
is a case in point. For mediums the word originates as boveda
—[BO-vay-dah]. The boveda consists of a grouping of glass goblets representing the spiritual quadrant of each medium. Boveda can also mean hidden treasure box. Indeed this spiritual cave is a sanctuary from which our entities whisper their messages to us.
Your boveda can take shape in a number of ways. Some follow traditional formats, while others are less bound to doctrine. There are a large number of mediums who use seven glasses. This arrangement is usually one glass, flanked by six others. The center cave will usually hold a crucifix, with its lower half in the water, and facing the person. Seven being an obvious number of mystery, this tradition is probably the most in use. It also is associated with the African religion of the Yoruba, known as Santeria.
Another tradition for the boveda is the use of nine glasses. Nine is the universal number of the spirit or muerto
. Mediums who are very involved in passing their quadrants, as well as holding and sending spirits without light up to the "spiritual colleges, will more likely use this number of glasses. The number nine itself will attract entities with ease.
Still another shape for your boveda is the use of three glasses. These should be arranged for past, present, and future scrying, seeing in the waters…. The crucifix with this arrangement is usually a standing one, or it’s laying down on the table.
It’s important to note that the boveda can also have your own personal stamp on it. It all depends on what your spirits are inspiring you to do. I’ve seen some very fancy bovedas where the goblets have specific designs, such as Chinese calligraphy, African symbols, or ribbons of different colors tied around the lip of the goblet, or down by the stem.
Still others have goblets made of wood, or stained glass. Mediums come in all sizes, shapes, and styles. I know a few who have to invest in wall-to-wall tables. They will have a glass or goblet for each and every spirit they can identify in their Spirit Quadrant. Twenty plus glasses are almost normal for these mediums.
Each medium must work according the his/her Quadrant’s directive. The inspiration that the spirit guides bestow upon the medium will inspire the type of boveda that they will be comfortable with. Inclusive, as mediums develop through the years, they could change the makeup of the caves
so that their growth is reflected.
Me? I’m a lover of simplicity. Simplicity with beauty and direct attraction for any who visit my boveda. I keep my glasses small, plain, surrounding a small goblet. Indeed, I always get a kick out of the look on people’s faces when they realize how small my boveda is! I chuckle as I think to myself, size has nothing to do with putting it to use with skill….!
All of this talk of how many glasses should a boveda have, brings me to another raging argument among the mediums. It’s an argument that’s been around all too long, and it’s time to put it to rest, so the axe can be buried. This conversation has often degenerated into outright confrontation, even within matrimony.
One boveda. No, two! Are you kidding, there are too many people there, they need six! Just one for all with a glass for all….
And so it goes, ranging from the logical to the ridiculous. Now think. Each person is a unique vibration within the universe. No two people vibrate the same. This means that the way each person spiritually works
is an individual signature in the world, there are no copies—not even identical twins can claim each other’s vibration. The very fact that they were separated by minutes, reflects the difference in their astrological birth charts.
No matter how many people are living together, as long as each has a Spiritual Quadrant and is a medium, a separate boveda for each is essential…! We can’t have our spirits and our paths tossed together like a salad. The identity of every medium must always be preserved, and reflected, in their boveda. Each one of these caves (glasses) will whisper in the spirit ear on a plane of thought that only that particular medium will read
.
If we had to share cell phones, with each person’s contact mixed together, our cell phones would soon go haywire, not to mention the headaches and arguments among the people using them. The boveda works the same way. Your spirits—and only your spirits—know how to communicate with you. Symbols, words, sounds, pictures, particular memories and many more differing signals will be sent to each medium. This is their way of understanding their own, particular Spirit Quadrant.
I think I’ve stressed the point of individual bovedas, and their importance in spiritual development.
Yet, there is one exception to all of these arrangements. Just as there are family altars, where the blood relatives are remembered with photos and candles or incense, there can be a family boveda.
If you are going to go this route, note that everyone in the home must agree to this. A central place must be chosen. A very large goblet must be chosen as the center piece. This cave’s water will be to protect and attract the family’s over-all guardians of the family’s safety and health. Each person living in the house will then choose the type of goblet they wish to represent them and their Quadrant. Some can choose to put a specific color ribbon on the stem to identify whose cave it is. Others, still, can choose a particular color of glass or goblet. The size
