Sai Vikhë: Agent of Change.

 Dear Reader,


Sai Vikhë is the janya of discord, strife, and chaos. She is also the janya of vitality, courage, and strength. I would posit that she has a third aspect. Sai Vikhë is the janya of dynamic change. If we look at it carefully, all change is some form of strife. It breaks us out of patterns of behavior and life styles that we have found comfortable and reassuring. It is a struggle when change comes and we must adapt everything to integrate it into ourselves.

If we accept this argument, we could state that Sai Vikhë is (in relation to Sai Werdë) the movement of her wheel. It is possible to see Sai Vikhë in a descending form, the changes that drive us farther from Déa. Ultimately, however, those changes serve to bring us closer to Déa and into greater thamë. As such, the changes that Sai Vikhë brings us ultimately are of the ascending direction. Sai Vikhë is a janya who pushes us to improve ourselves in the lesser war against khear, the internal struggle between the True Self and our False Self (ego). Sai Vikhë is generally recognized as a protector of the children of Déa in the greater war with the Dark Queen and her servants whose pull is far greater in the direction away from Déa and into the abyss of khear.

As one studies the art of war, one finds that battle lines move back and forth. In the war with the Dark Queen that goes on within the manifest world, Sai Vikhë strategizes the battles we fight and guides us. What may seem a defeat may actually be a strategic advance into the territory of the enemy to cause disruption behind their lines before drawing back to friendly forces. Our weaknesses can be overcome but they ultimately serve Déa's goal to bring the whole of creation back into union with herself. As such, Sai Vikhë brings us challenges and changes that we must strive to work through. These serve to strengthen us against the challenges and assaults of the forces of the Dark Queen. Sai Vikhë as a battle janya is always working to give us the strength to stand against the Dark Queen's servants and guide us forward past them to the path towards our salvation in Our Lady.
