There is no better time than Spring (March 20-21) to share the Spirit of Mother Goddess. One cannot deny the healing effects of her effervescent glow. As a woman,Witch (wise one), mother, sister, wife,and friend, Goddess is at the very core of my Craft and or worship. She represents everything that is, will come, and has followed…she is the essence of me, the Mother of all life. Her force…  her “Spirit” is Wild and Free and genderless, a union of thee…however, when her energy graces us with sprinkles of her Cosmic dust…within the universe, anthropomorphically, she can be manifested into a force of nature, and or fe-male energy.

Historically, one can gather, Goddess worship records back to the Paleolithic times. Some of the first images found of the Goddess note back to the Cro-Magnons of Upper Paleolithic period between 35,000 and 10,000 BC. She is named Venus. Also, other female figurines found date back to the proto-Neolithic period of ca, 9000-7000 BC, the Middle Neolithic period of ca. 6000-5000 BC,and the Higher Neolithic period of ca. 4500-3500 BC. In Africa, she was discovered, in paintings, dating back to 7000-6000 BC. During predynastic Egypt, prior to 3110 BC, she was known as Ta-Urt (Great One).

The point of all this being, throughout time Goddess , and her worship, has acquired many faces…however, she has always represented nature..and, the female essence of divinity… which focuses on nature through an emphasis on creating life and relating in an ethical and caring way to all living beings, among other aspects. ‘Now when one gets into the psychology of this thought …anthropomorphic terms have to be worked into the psyche. For example, the human mind is unable to understand any type of divinity without some form of anthropomorphism.”

Therefore,theoretically, if such a system is applied to the usual “concept” of God, giving “him” the different titles which people have attributed to him, one finds a multitude of separate “gods” with names like Almighty, Yahweh, Lord,Christ,Jehovah,Allah….etc…each one is assigned a particular function in the pantheon.” Hence, a similar system is applied in Goddess honoring…Isis,Kwan, Yin,Neith,Nut,Iemanja, Mary… Goddess worship can be balanced by honoring both fe-male deities. This practice is best summarized as being the belief in the second marriage of the sky god and earth mother.

Incidentally,above, I’ve supplied some historical data as to the journey of Goddess existence and movement. And, I would hope to convey in my writings,unions,and guidance of others,of how Powerful the effects of experiencing divinity in whatever way is meaningful to oneself. The journey is life-changing…because of the very Nurture of the experience. Goddess is and can mean many different things to any one particular individual. That is one of many beautiful manifestations of the path of Goddess. Furthermore, I choose to, and will continue to guide others into her light and walk my journey with and through her…it’s a wonderful thing.

With blessings of Goddess ☽ ☼ ☾

I further elaborate on this subject in one of my upcoming books . I also offer a correspondence course on the teachings of the path of the Goddess of 10,000 names. 

“The Tarot has been called the oldest book known to human. It has been said that the original cards comprised “chapters” in a book known as The Book of Thoth. Thoth(Maat) was the ibis-headed god of wisdom and knowledge of the ancient Egyptians. At the founding of Egypt, unknown centuries ago, he is said to have help give humans the knowledge of medicine, astrology, language, art, and various sciences such as mathematics and engineering. The original chapters of The Book of the Dead are said to have been written by Thoth.

After several thousands of years, the Egyptian empire began to crumble. As things began to fall apart, the god Thoth again intervened. He desired to keep alive the knowledge and wisdom that he had provided his people. To save his contribution to mankind, he summarized all of the accumulated wisdom of the Egyptian empire onto a series of 22 tablets. He did this by using symbols and pictures instead of words. These tablets became known as The Book of Thoth. As the empire decayed, the tablets found their way into a band of roving people later known as Gypsies. The gypsies copied the symbols of the tablets onto cards which became the major arcana of the Tarot deck.”

 “Maat was the ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law,morality, and justice. Maat was also personified as a goddess regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the deities. Most goddesses were paired with a male aspect, her masculine counterpart was Thoth and their attributes are the same. After the rise of Ra they were depicted together in the Solar Barque. A solar deity (also sun god/dess) is a sky deity who represents the Sun, or an aspect of it, usually by its perceived power and strength.”

 Nevertheless, tarot is a tool of self exploration. Consequently, tarot has given me a deeper understanding of myself. You see, tarot thinks in terms of symbols while forcing the analytic part of one’s brain to form explanations for those symbols. It is best compared to how the mind works in a dream state. You are stimulating your imagination! One becomes their own therapist…in a sense, especially while working with someone who reads cards very well. You find the solutions to your own shadows, thereupon, healing self…connecting to your Inner Sun.  And, when presenting questions to the Oracle/tarot cards, try to reveal self in the present. Thereupon, focusing on questions about how to overcome obstacles and setbacks now! And, personally I would say that by me exploring my own pain… helped see myself and others in a more loving light.

Psychologically, the tarot is looking into the unconscious mind. The whole process relates to analytical psychology by the Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung. Incidentally, when I read tarot for myself and others I am comfortable with using the chaos model. I go more into this connection with Tarot in an upcoming 13 page down loadable report.

Blessings,

As a daughter of The Great Mother Goddess…one of many ways I connect with Imbolc/Brigid’s Day and Valentine’s Day(February 2-14)is through…Oshun. This deity is the Yoruba cosmological force of water, moisture, and attraction…these“energies” and or “attributes” are brought through the planet Venus(who rules Taurus),which is also,archetypical,the Goddess of our eternal flame… passion,seduction,grace, beauty, love, and creativity…all of us have this archetype within us…the one that calls to our desires. In this instance,S-he is known as the Venus(Love) of our inner-beings. The mother, the one who sends sensual and sexual pleasures, warmth, comfort and human love.

You see,contact with this Essence heals one relationship with self and thereupon,with the divine…the fe-male energy-field within ourselves. This union of self opens us up to supreme consciousness which one can experience as messages to the soul that appear through the higher side of the consciousness.

One should realize that through a giving heart and or spirit it is your FREE choice to experience love, in its many manifestations, through the reflection of self-love,extended love,and or divine love…for love is present everywhere and should be in all bonding unions in one’s life. 

Extend yourself…to opening up Supreme  Consciousness…

 Blessings,

Notes:  Valentine, Eros,Mars,Cupid are lesser aspects of the Supreme Goddess of Love… for the Venus of Eternal Love knows no bounds.

The year of the Dragon takes place every twelve years. Children born during Dragon Years are said to enjoy health, wealth, and long life. Dragon references occur prominently in early philosophical texts as well as in the images of shamanistic worship.

The Dragon is a symbol for Kundalini fire-energy. The Kundalini Serpent Power of the Dragon is a Mother Goddess Cosmic energy within each individual. Incidentally, the Dragon is associated with the seasons. S/he ascended into the sky in the spring to make rain for the crops and returned underwater in the fall. Ancient Chinese prayed to the dragon for good harvests, banging gongs to awaken the Spirit in the spring. They brought offerings and small images in clay. Revered and feared…s/he is most often associated with the weather and is also known as the “Rain Master”… eyes flashing lightning, wings causing the wind, and breath the rain. The dry season occurred when s/he was hibernating in the water, its natural element. The tail of the dragon symbolizes the time of fall equinox. It represents our past. And, the head of the dragon symbolizes the spring equinox…the future of the becoming.

The color of Dragons are associated with their powers, some examples are as follows: Azure dragons are associated with spring, red and black are ferocious, representing storms in clouds, and yellow dragons are like the sun, elusive,and solitary. Dragons are associated with several cosmic sphears: Celestial Dragons (Tien-lung) who guards and supports the heavens, Spiritual Dragons (Shen-lung) who control rain and wind, Earth Dragons (Ti-lung) who direct the course of rivers and streams safely toward the sea, and Subterranean Dragons (Fut’s-lung), who guard the treasures of the earth, gems, jade, gold.

To dig further down into the Spirit…the Dragon of Living Fire Rises because it is time for your reBirth into a highER Self-actualization…a higher self-consciousness. The heart of this Goddess Kundalini lives within you…s/he is you. This energy-field is spiraled up within you. When one’s kundalini Rises…it is the absolute pure knowledge of compassion.

“When we talk in the light of Kundalini, we have to understand that this light spreads in your life, outside your life and, expresses itself in a very beautiful manner. When it works, the whole thing works out and you develop faith. That faith is within you. Nobody can challenge you if you have faith. It will be done. Your pure desire is now being fulfilled, you are now connected, and you are now Divine. The brain cannot perceive divinity unless it is illuminated by the Spirit.” Shri Mataji

Happy New Year! May 2012 be FILLED with wisdom and compassion.

 Serpent Goddess of Justice, Time, Heaven and Hell…She who rears up

Not too long ago a dear friend visited me and we touched on the subject of if my family and I celebrated Christ in our Xmas. I would like to respond with the following cosmology…you see, I am a High Priestess of the Great Mother Goddess…Isis, Kwan Yin, Kali, a crowned daughter of Iemanja…whatever one wishes to call her by name…I follow Shakti… an Ultimate Energy-field that pushes me into further growth. I follow the Sun and Moon the Stars…the Womb…the everlasting Cosmic…and what you see and read from my thoughts…is just a brief exploration of what unlimited possibilities are within…Consequently, I cannot express the detail of what I celebrate on Xmas…in such a blog post. But, I would like to share a gift with you…a gift of enlightenment…

You see, one of many of these personifications that I CELEBRATE are as follows;Wadjet is the Cobra Kundalini goddess( a serpent that is within each of us that ascends to the immortal divine)of Lower Egypt whom eventually took the title, The Eye of Ra. Wadjet,the personification of the north, a forceful snake-headed protector of kings,childbirth,and children-a motherly defender. Wadjet can be seen rearing from the forehead of the rulers,such as King Tutankhamen.

Many Egyptian deities,such as Wadjet, are connected with specific hours, days, and months. Her time is considered to function as the fifth hour of the fifth day of the month, or lunar cycle. Consequently, December 25th, on the Egyptian calendar, is considered to function as the “going forth of the Goddess.” In the Pyramid Texts,it said that the papyrus plant emerged from her, and that she is connected to the forces of growth.”

Creolemagik is a philosophy (philo-sophia) that is rooted in the Alchemical Tradition and, thus, involves the Socratic care of the psycho-spiritual self-consciousness through esoteric magik. Creolemagik is not a religion. Creolemagik is a fusion of transpersonal psychology,ancient wisdom and self-help tools one can use while on their own journey of internal spiritual alchemy. Creolemagik emphasizes focusing in on the Whole person: mind, body, and spirit. The guidance reinforces that one must take time to nurture their own Spirit, foremost. The reason being,  Spirit is so important because it is the inner sense of enlightenment that guides us in our own will and direction in life. For example, when one meets another with a strong Spirit there is an exhilaration and strength that emulates from their eyes. Truly, a peaceful Spirit sends out an energy that eases other individuals, and allows one to deeply connect with them. And, this same energy will allow one to connect with their own higher purpose. Incidentally, the philosophy and or teachings of Creolemagik correspond to the elements of earth, air, fire, water, and ether  to center oneself. Furthermore, by using meditation, visualization, and psyche development, one can begin to heal from any self-limiting thought vibrations in their collective unconsciousness.

Magikal Blessings,

 I go further into the philosophy of Creolemagik in my upcoming book…

A little over a year ago, I experienced a “Healing” ritual that changed my whole outlook on what the human spirit,body,and mind are capable of. Being a rape survivor,through the years, I have encountered many private moments on what it means to truly transform oneself. However, on this particular day I speak of…something amazing occurred…I finally allowed myself to feel the journey of my own rebirth in motion…

You see, so many years ago, as a child, I lost a part of myself that needed to be reclaimed… All these years…I had been searching for a way to view my love-box as more than an area for the taking…I wanted to feel it as a life-giving force. Little did I know, the result left upon my whole being would leave me in a veil of clarity…a union of my inner Sun and Moon archetype(s) and or energies. Consequently, my psyche had wholeheartedly married goddess through the vicarious journey of my second daughter’s water-birth.

You see, through the years, I have always been interested in transforming my mental and emotional pain into inner-growth. This frame of thought has been motivation in my interest in Spiritual Alchemy and Tantric Lore. I eventually discovered that the alchemical vessel is essentially us…and what one takes from experience, intuition, trust, compassion, patience,horror,pain,insult,solitude …will and can eventually connect us to a higher-self consciousness,a Supreme Dharma, a self-liberation…

Incidentally, my union with goddess that day stood for the ultimate force created through the POWER of the Triumph of the human spirit. You see, I was determined to go all the way on this soul flight…my guide being a midwife whose “inner-light” helped guide my silent fears… I had to totally focus my mental,emotional,and spiritual self into trance in order to work through any pain in my re-child-birth. On that day, going through this ultimate ritual created a moment in my life where my awareness stabilized. What I mean is that I manifested beyond space and time…into the cosmic cycle of love and life! I was totally FREE to FEEL. Consequently, individual self completion,or the quest for it, requires a process’ to take place in our minds. And, psycho-spiritually, my feminine aspect, or right cortex, became a full partner with my masculine aspect, or left cortex…thus, the meeting of Yin and the Yang, the Sun and the Moon, goddess and god,Shiva and Shakti…I had bonded, again, with Supreme Self-consciousness…One must learn to TRUST ,in themselves, in the experience, in the heat of it all, before the soul can be explored and recovered…

Incidentally, I made some major life-changes after that day. For example, I truly believe(d), and not just speak…that I will no longer, ever, be a victim of circumstance…of the past…and that I will continue to RISE-UP to any challenges…I will be TRUE to my intentions, (and make them Manifest) and continue to live out my dreams, no matter others impositions.

Blessed be,

CreoleMoon

Union of thyself

Sacred space is a place of transformation and or modification. And, in many cases, sacred space is a place of progress. It can be a moment in time of a craft of our own will. Furthermore, what is actually undertaken near sacred space and or sanctuary units the psyche with spirit, and body. Thus, the result of this union, within the inner-temple, leads to the opening up of peak experiences. Incidentally, self actualization naturally guides one into the journey of spirituality…again, spirituality is an energy that resides within the person. In particular, peak experiences are moments of personal-illumination…and this brings one into a complete unification of consciousness. For in these moments of solitude and or deep meditative thought a personal energy heals and thus becomes ego-transcending; releasing one’s own free-will into a flow of luminous possibilities and calm.

Choose what you will, then let your imagination bring it to you
Emile Coue (1857-1926)

I Will. I Can. I’m able to attain what I want. I release days gone by. I forget about years to come. I am an individual right now. I’m equivalent to whatever ordeal I endure. I’m now available to a stream of spiritual electricity by which I discover the foremost worthy plan of action for the day. My work, being unselfish, opens up completely new opportunities of supply, producing all of the knowledge needed in order for my effort to be wonderful, dynamic and powerful to the supreme degree. Thankfulness is a gorgeous, emotional attribute offered to me in all circumstances…being grateful for life’s little wonders, thankful for the chance to start out the day whereby I am, experiencing the very best position my karma and grace deliver me to. All my requests will continue to be met. I’m okay, today.
