Dear Seekers and IX Keepers,
In May, we typically celebrate Mother’s Day and the beautiful, mothering energy of nourishment and sharing.
Nourishment comes in many forms – from a beautiful meal or nurturing environment to a gentle touch, a moment of encouragement, a kind word, or enthusiastic acknowledgment of another’s skills or talents. Much of our life’s purpose is to nourish others. As the IX Crystal, Roma says, “I have so much love to give and energy to share.”
It’s essential to extend nourishment to ourselves as well. By filling our own cup first, we can give to others from a genuinely joyful heart – one filled with the balance and harmony we wish to see throughout the world.
It is our greatest hope that this issue of The Compass nourishes your consciousness with inspiration and content designed for your body, mind, and spirit on your journey of growth. We are here, with you and for you.
With Love and Light,
Instituto Xilonen
IX CRYSTAL - ROMA
About the Name
The name “Roma” has multiple meanings. In Hebrew, Roma means exalted or lofty. It is also a name for Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and good fortune. In Roman mythology, Evander, a cultural hero from Greece, named the city of Rome in honor of his daughter, Roma.
About the Crystal
Roma is a large Celestial Quartz Cluster Crystal from Romania that stands almost 13 inches tall and 20 inches across. Celestial Quartz is made of Crystal points. From these points grow additional terminations, further amplifying the energies of the Crystal.
Celestial Quartz is best known for holding significant amounts of information and offering a connection to higher spiritual planes. Yet, this type of Quartz also keeps us connected to the Earth, allowing us to ground spiritual information into the physical plane. When this happens, blockages are released and vitality is enhanced so that our soul can realize its true purpose and experience all that life has to offer.
Message from Roma
“I am bursting with joy! I have so much love to give and energy to share. I am so excited to blend with the energies of others to ignite their joy and their love.
“Everything is a possibility. Every experience is a chance to grow in wisdom and understanding of how this magical beautiful Universe operates.
“I encourage us all to join hearts and hands and spread the joy that is here for all of us, right under our noses. Feel it and share it with others. Together let’s make our Earth kinder and nicer. I will assist you. Feel my joy!!!”
Affirmations from Roma
“Everything is a possibility.”
“I join hearts and hands and spread joy.”
“With every experience, I grow.”

ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS
By Demitra Vassiliadis
As May begins, the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Taurus has initiated a month of evolutionary change and growth in our relationship to the maternal, material world. While spring blossoms around us, at IX we are focusing on our own fertile, maternal aspects. It’s time to tend to the qualities, abilities, and resources that shape our unique life purpose and use these to nourish ourselves and the waiting world. Thus, May is a perfect month to cultivate our own garden of beauty and happiness to joyfully share.
