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. 

 
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,

 Creolemoon

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

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…

Incidentally, I further elaborate on the subject of-the archetype(s) of spirit- in my upcoming book.
