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.

 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.”

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,

CreoleMoon

Union of thyself

On March 20th/21st we welcome Spring Equinox. The first point of Aries. This is when the Sun (Ra) will cross directly over the Earth’s (Isis-the Divine Mother) equator . Thus, day and night are equal in balance. People have Celebrated the Spring Equinox for thousands of years. This is the time when mother-earth Awakens from the seeds that have been planted inside of her. Early Egyptians built the great Sphinx so that they would point directly toward the rising Sun on the day of the Spring Equinox.

This is a time of personal renewal…growth. Ask yourself, “How can I re-new myself… my Spirit?” This is a holistic journey towards renewal…this self-actualization. It is time to shed all the dormant energy that you opened your psyche up to when you set out to awaken all the contemplations of this past winter solstice. It is time to ask yourself, “What do I need to liberate myself from?”

During this time, the full moon is sacred to Eostre, the Lunar Goddess of fertility-from whence we get the word estrogen, whose two symbols are the egg and the rabbit…symbols of life and fertility. Full Moon energy is used for banishing unwanted influences in your life, protection magik, and divination. Planning, releasing and working backward in time are done on the Full Moon as well. It is said that the best Full Moon magik can be conjured for seven days: the three days prior to the Full Moon, the night of the Full Moon itself, and three days after the Full Moon. Sometimes the results of Full Moon magik take approximately one moon cycle to take hold and come to completion.

March is the time for new beginnings, breaking illusions, and seeing the truth in your life however much it may hurt. The energy flow breaks into the open, a good time for growing, prospering, and exploring.

Illuminate,
