Tutelarus: A Servitor for the Aquarian Age

Who is Tutelarus?

At the root of the name Tutelarus is the word ‘tutelar’ which is a deity or spirit who acts typically as a guardian or protector of a particular place, person, lineage, or culture. Given our intention, we thought that it was an appropriate word upon which to base the name of our servitor.

With the shift from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age reverberating through the cosmos, many have been experiencing fits of personal turmoil as the vibratory frequency of energy shifts to one that demands a more communal attitude and expression. The days where we can concern ourselves primarily with our own cares are numbered; the mounting climate crisis, civil unrest, and wars are but a few examples of where this internal focus on accumulation has lead us as a people. In these uneasy times, we wanted to create a tool; a companion to assist in making the transition a smoother one.

Because the Aquarian Age is more communally focused, we chose to require payment in the form of a good deed from all who choose to use the servitor before Tutelarus will heed their call. You need not keep an accountants ledger of good deeds; rather the intention is to assist in reinforcing the behavior of doing good deeds for their own sake and as a means of passing along the power of good will and community.

Tutelarus Meditation

This meditation was originally read during the Rainbow Warriors Samhain ritual by its author Braggwynn. There was a large copper firepit in the middle of the ritual space that was draped in black fabric. The meditation has been recorded by Nathair so that you can participate in the visualization.

Read the Meditation

As we begin this meditation, I would like all of you to focus your attention on the shroud covered vessel in the middle of the ritual space. See it as the Dark Mother’s cauldron, where regeneration takes place, building upon the wisdom of the ages; of man, and of beast. Allow it to make an impression in your mind, an impression to carry within we will call upon soon.

Sitting here in this night of darkness, please close your eyes, drop your shoulders, and straighten yourself to allow for proper breathing, that exchange of energy that defines life, and allows for growth. Now take a deep breath in, own it, and sense exhilaration absorbed. Now the exhalation, it’s starkness and focus forefront, as it removes the ashes of life, used. Again, inhale exhilaration, exhale life’s ash… Exhilaration in, ash out. Continue with this breathing, feeling it clean and clarify, preparing you for focus. Not just any focus, but the focus that allows you to broaden your awareness, expand your horizons, and open to the transformations growth brings.

We come together this night of old remembrances and new beginnings, to plot a course of action to serve the future, both ours and the world communities’ as the new year begins.We are in challenging times, times that reflect our human condition in its extremes. Past actions have their price. We are truly in the process of being held responsible for our actions; the good and the bad, the selfish and selfless, the building and the destruction, the love and the hate. We must acknowledge and embrace this reality, it foretells of a shift in consciousness towards the inclusion and cooperation of Aquarius, not seclusion and manipulation of Pisces.

So allow yourself to go backwards in time, searching your memory for the last time you helped someone freely, and felt the warm glow of satisfaction that stems from expressing your compassion, and having it freely accepted. Take your time, explore your own personal history, finding and filling out that incident as completely as you can. Breathe in clarity,…and exhale time’s murky shadows, as the circumstances of this encounter grow clearer, and clearer. Once again, feel that warm glow of selfless love expressed. Know it is the core of a power that can be called upon to assist you when life becomes challenging.

This Samhain night, The Rainbow Warriors invite you to join them in the birth of a representative of that power, for this concept is worthy of it’s own persona. This Samhain night, you will take this power within, and nourish it, learn to feed it, this “soon to be” most precious ally.

In your mind’s eye, return to your vision of the good deed, and find a place in it for the cauldron you were looking at when you closed your eyes to start this journey. Allow it to nestle in, and be part of the experience, blending now with then. Once you have done this, in your mind’s eye, look inside yourself, and find that warm glow, that selfless love. Now take your hands, and cup them together in front of you. Bring forth that radiance, and place it within your hands.

As you sit here with your eyes closed in your meditative trance, look into the radiance in your palms, and watch its fires within dance. See this dancing fire as a reflection of the Goddess within, from The Earth Mother herself. In this fire, all of her children dance, taking turns bursting forth, then returning to the fire’s core. You see ancestors, friends past, and pets loved and cared for. You also see many wild beautiful birds and animals amongst the images in Her fire. They come to you, and again return to the fire’s core as you look into the benevolent flames. One image within these flames starts to repeat itself, becoming stronger every time it reappears. It is a bird, richly feathered, with a long tail flowing. At times, it almost becomes detached from the flames in your hands. It has a full breast, glowing eyes, and a timeless sentience reminiscent of a Phoenix. Now take that fire in your hands, and place it in the cauldron you conjured within your vision.

It is now time to share these phoenix-like flames, this fire born from compassion with others. It is now time to manifest this force of life-kindness, making it into a conscious being to help us through these challenging, transitioning times. Know its very existence will be as an ally, a partner, a guardian, and will thrive off of the goodness that is generated when you help another.

To begin the process of sharing, the vision of your phoenix fire, now residing in the cauldron, must be brought to the present as a blessing, a treasure freely received. So look again into your vision of charity, and focus on the cauldron you placed there. With this vision firmly planted in your mind, when you are ready, open your eyes to again see the cauldron, your cauldron within this Samhain’s Sacred Circle.

Now let us join together and let this Fire of Joy be born.

What is a Servitor?

A servitor is an energy being consciously created by magickal means for any number of purposes. Typically they are conjured to assist an individual or group with a specific need, such as protection, healing, or to develop a certain skill.

The details of their existence are carefully planned out prior to the ritual of their creation and are usually written up in a form of spiritual contract that defines the parameters of their existence (be it short-lived or indefinite), the scope of their duties and powers, as well as the means by which they are called upon.

The Rainbow Warriors received instruction in the creation of servitors from Joseph Futerman.

What is a Good Deed?

As it pertains to the payment necessary for Tutelarus; good deeds are spontaneous acts of kindness, accommodation, generosity, benevolence, empowerment, charity, assistance, help, sympathy or aid, all performed with the simple intention of being helpful and no expectation for compensation of any kind.

Share Tutelarus

We believe that Tutelarus can benefit those beyond the reach of our circle; so we welcome you to share it with others that may benefit from its assistance. To do so, simply print the ‘Tutelarus Creation Contract’ (which you can download below) and present the document to the recipient. Of course, you can certainly choose to introduce them to Tutelarus in a more ritually steeped ceremony if so desired; but the importance is in the sharing of the gift that is Tutelarus. You should also stress that the recipient must perform a good deed before Tutelarus will heed their call.

Unfortunately, only those individuals that were present at the creation of Tutelarus will have received a piece of pyrite with which to call the servitor. For all others one of the three remaining methods must be used.
