About the star:
Mulu Bat, better known as Iota Virginis, is in the constellation of Virgo. This binary star is also known by the traditional name Syrma, derived from the Arabic 'sirma' ("train of a garment") because of it's position in the 'Virgin's gown'. Mulu Bat's A star (Iota Virginis A) is a yellow-colored star, with a mass 1.5 times the mass of our Sun, and with a luminosity 8.7 times as bright as our Sun. Mulu Bat's B star (Iota Virginis B) has not been seen directly, but calculated to have a smaller mass, and speculated to be a white dwarf. They rotate about one another with a period of 55 years. Traditional folklore in both Mesopotamia and China associates Mulu Bat as the "Death Star", as well as death and rebirth, though the details of this association have been lost with time.

About "Mulu Bat":
This star song is a deeply loving journey about death and dying. The entire progression of tracks is really a kind of 'transitional coaching' that provide sound codes about the process of dying when it is your time. Listening to this star's song is a great energetic primer on death and dying: much like the Q'ero shamans in Peru say, "Don't wait until death to ask for directions!" The star song starts with a prayer to Mulu Bat, and the Ancestors who are involved in supporting the dying process generally ("Invocation"). The first two tracks, "Starting the Journey" and "Buffalo Honors Life and Death in the Body" are songs that honor the concept of leaving life here on Earth: finishing our life just as it was, finding acceptance within for it all. In the track 4, I listened and watched as the sound journey I was offering told the tale of Mulu Bat's role to us---like a good-natured tap on the shoulder this star says: " Shake the dust off your feet, let's go", i.e, it's time to die. At it's most elemental level, this track "Shake the Dust off Your Feet", is about the soul divesting itself of the body in a seamless way by remembering that the only thing we need to do is to 'grab our joy', for the essence of our True Self is Joy. (This by the way is an internal process during dying, an orientation or perspective rather than a judgment about the situation or type of dying process). "Deer Journey After Death" is a song that orients you to the spiritual blessings and support available to us all after we die. Finally, the sound journey ends with a prayer and blessing from Mulu Bat for the listener's life to feel supported well through death. Listening to this star's song will not activate the dying process (!), but will educate and liberate aspects of your soul that could use support when it is your time. |
