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 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.

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,

I’d like to take this opportunity to briefly share with you what a Real Witch does for and on Halloween. Proclaiming myself a Witch has brought on a lot of questions from those outside the journey of the craft about how a Witch celebrates this very spiritual time of year; a time of transition for self.

See Halloween,Samhain,and or Autumn Equinox is the celebration of death through life,the Cosmic Cycle of Life. This is a time for personal reflection,and a time for recognizing our faults and creating a vessel by which we can continue to heal ourselves. It is a time of reflection,honor and celebration for the souls of the dead. It is a time to honor and celebrate the giving relationship between mother-earth,grandpa sun,father sky,and grandmere moon.

Let us start with the preparation for this holiday. It is ritualistically celebrated through Samhain,Summer’s End,better known as Halloween,All Hallows Eve,Day of the Dead,and or Winter Nights,on October 31-November 1.

November 1st is the actual day of Samhain, it is the New Year’s Day for Witches. The Eve and day of Samhain are characterized as a time when the barriers and or veil between the human and supernatural worlds are broken and or the thinnest. Which means that spirits and or souls of loved ones have more power and or ability to visit us. The souls of the dead are said to visit their homes at midnight.

Also,the reincarnation of the “SUN” is an aspect of this very special time of year. Samhain welcomes Winter. And, Witches celebrate this reincarnation and note the absence of the Sun who will be reborn at Winter Solstice and or Yule…known as the Child of Promise. Samhain is the start of the dark time of the year when the Sun goes lower each day and begins to weaken…and the rising of the Pleiades occurs.

So as the door knocks and children yell, “Trick or Treat”, you may be surprised who you just might let in!

Blessed Be…
