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. 

 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…

The autumnal equinox occurs whenever the sun crosses the equator on its journey southward. Therefore we have a day as well as a night which are of equal duration. Consequently, on this date the sun enters the sign of Libra. Aha, yes, the feast of the archangel Michael.

Mythically, this is actually the day when the God of Illumination is defeated by his twin and alter ego, the God of Darkness. It happens to be the time of the year when night conquers day.

Likewise, we share in this universal rhythm of rebirth and reincarnation when we acknowledge the waning power of the Sun. This is actually a time of going within ourselves and making preparations for our particular survival, psycho-spiritually and physically, while in the winter months; the moment for introspection and deep thought.

The Equinox is really a potent time to meditate, set intentions, invoke our guides and gather together to receive infusions of wisdom and enlightenment. Opportunities… because we create a passage originating from a lower degree of consciousness and resourceful power into a higher one. The stronger the light, the better visible our shadow becomes along with the greater the potential for positive self-transformation.

The Equinox is your precise balance point where day and night (light and dark) are exactly equal {and as well as in perfect balance. Incidentally, this is the reason the Equinox is such an important sacred day in a great number of world’s “spiritual” traditions. The reason being, it happens to be the perfect occasion to set new intentions and apply yourself to a positive shift toward greater love and release self-limiting fears.

In Love and Light,

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,

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.

To cultivate spirituality, a good self-concept is crucial. A favorable self-concept is considering yourself as an honorable person, worthy of an enjoyable life…and in a position of attaining it. Creating a valuable belief concerning our external or even internal self lets us discover… with our inner spiritual nature…so that, in the long run, we believe that we are a all-powerful being.

Affirmations can be doneinwardly, voiced aloud, put into writing, chanted, said in the form of spells and or prayers. Sometimes, I sing my affirmations with music. Incidentally, that is why I feel music reaches one in a spiritual level…when it moves you in the right way. Furthermore, the proper environment with the right’ energy that is in-tune with the goals of the working(s) is important.

Success with affirmations depends upon utilizing the three-fold key-think about the meaning, create a visualization for this meaning and feel how you will feel when the hoped for goal is consistently happening in your life. In WitchCraft this three-fold key/law does the following; you raise the energy (meditation), program the energy(tell the energy what you want it to do-using affirmations), and direct the energy(visualizations). When you begin directing the energy…continue to program it, while you visualize it doing what you want to do. Affirmations must’ be repeated five to ten times a day, in your mind. Ultimately, let it go…and know that it’ is working.

Magikal Blessings…

I have a lot of questions on how one starts the journey of self-knowledge? How does one start the exploration into the “Craft” of self-awareness? Incidentally, in my previous post, I posed the question…how does one find that true-self within the cave? I would like to pick up from there. I can share my own experience with you.

I have many guides(deities) and or archetypes (personified fields) that I journey and identify with in order to enhance my psycho-spiritual-growth. The psychic contact (cosmic being) that I fuse with ,and or vibe’ with becomes a “numinous energy” that helps me develop further empathy, compassion, honor,and reason for myself and others. Incidentally, when I attach my consciousness into the archetype(s) the union creates a certain energy-field that penetrates my collective unconsciousness and finds my hidden and higher-self. The former is an example of remolding one’s subconscious. Consequently, in order to feed’ such a strong energy-field, the subconscious, it takes dedication, a flow of magnetic mental force. One can use affirmation(s) and or tantra(s) to begin to tap’ into self-awareness and or the inner-path. Observation…is the first awakening of the soul…learn to concentrate on the mind.

Remember, archetypes typically operate unconsciously but we can become aware of them and interact with them consciously, as with defenses. One must’ intentionally focus on the healing of self-psyche by tapping into the inner-resources and or phenomenal field our “temple” holds for us. Furthermore, our yearning for self-concept,self-worth and or self-actualization…is the driving force behind that push to experience oneself in a way that is consistent with one’s conscious view of what one is…thus the built-in motivation’. Spirituality resides within the person. Only then, can peak experiences and or trance being occur… I like the saying, moments of personal-illumination… 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; thus releasing one’s own free-will. I practice the former daily via centering and or drawing down the moon’. By doing the former, I connect to my inner-power! Over the next few post…I will send out Power Affirmations…that I can only hope… will continue to spark an awakening within your being…

Blessed be,

CreoleMoon

Notes: My inspiration for this piece was Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami

The Socratic care of the soul involves self-knowledge; the upward’ discovery and union of the psycho-spiritual self and the difficult challenges the ego-centered self has with healing from certain shadows and or archetypes (the collective unconsciousness) that impose self-limiting thought vibrations and or negative energy within the psyche. You see…one must be willing to question life … their reality in order to fully nourish a growth process within for proper self-understanding. And, in order to discover true illumination/ true consciousness and or thought, one must be willing to voyage into a process’ of freeing one’s mind, spirit, and temple(body), from ignorance (imprisonment), such as self-loathing opinions, dogmas, and fear of exploring the unknown’ … the world within, the cave. Thereupon, one can connect with that divine inner-source and or ultimate truth; this ultimate truth being goodness and or balance… therefore, to have spiritual transpersonal insights and experiences… is a process of igniting and connecting with true wisdom, true freedom’ and belief ‘ within oneself.

So the question arises…how does one find that true-self within the cave? Well, meditation…is one way. Meditation is a time-honored technique that can take one into infinite dimensions of consciousness, thus, establishing healing personal energy. The practice helps one develop discipline and concentration. In relation to meditation and a conditioned stimulus, an example would be lighting a candle and or some incense for ritual’ and or trance; eventually, lighting the candle or incense signals one’s brain that it’s time for meditation. For example, in the practice of tratak and or candle gazing , the exercise helps one learn to sit quietly and focus on something other than their outer world. This practice is known as inner gazing. I practice candle magik daily. I sit in a comfortable position, I place a burning candle in front of myself and then I concentrate on my flow of breath, when I’m calm… I gaze at the candle … from there I open my third eye… focusing on the flame that represents the source of my creation, my inner light.

May your inner light burn bright…

There are many goddesses and gods within each wo+man. These archetypes symbolize strengths and weaknesses and the disparate characteristics that make up personality. Studying the goddesses and gods can give a person a means of better understanding themselves and their relationships of deciphering their motivations and the patterns of their lives. Recognizing and envisioning particular goddesses and gods within oneself can be very EMPOWERING experience.

I believe there are many paths to a Spiritual Higher Force. I pull INSPIRATION from several ancient traditions, in hopes of enlightening my SPIRIT and those around me. I like to travel beyond my own boundaries, seeking TRUTH wherever it can be found. I like weaving what I have learned with whatever I already know, and conveying that understanding to all those that have ears to hear and eyes to see. I translate my craft through my writing(s),thereupon guiding others.

I follow metaphysics: the study of the POWER of mind, beyond the physical world. The metaphysics of philosophers view the cosmology of the universe or how things came to be. Metaphysics encompasses space-time relationships and is used to overcome limited thinking for personal growth.

You see spiritual growth and personal growth go together…and one must use their FREE will to take responsibility for their actions. As you believe in your heart so are you…what you send out (energy) comes back to you…everything has a consciousness and a positive and negative energy and it bound by universal law. Everything is ALIVE and carries information…one can call this spirit, energy, consciousness. In essence…the message is that which you are looking for is WITHIN you!

Remember, you are responsible for self. If you are unhappy about something, change it! Go within to see what is important to you, and what motives make you feel this way. Get to know yourself for your healing. This is a universal message. When you start living an awakened life you work with your past while using a projected possible future as a goal. A person living an awakened life may still have all the challenges, stresses, and troubles as before…but with a difference. They see challenges as opportunities to show themselves what they are capable of achieving or experiencing. They see problems as opportunities for new learning or to remember solutions forgotten. After a time, it will seem as if there is a new person inside of an existing body. Serenity will have a TRANSFORMING affect on your inner and outer world.

In Peace and Light…
