Enter the Sacred

17/5/2011

 
As Goddess moves through me
All creation is reborn
and She changes me

As Goddess moves through me
my darkness is brought to light
and I see there is nothing to fear
and She changes me

As Goddess moves through me
I am forever young and yet even older
than the moon and stars
And She changes me

As Goddess moves through me
I open myself to all the love around me
and dissolve into liquid bliss
And She changes me

As Goddess moves through me
I speak words of wisdom
yet I know not where they came from
And She changes me

As Goddess moves through me
I say what you need to hear but
not necessarily what you want to hear
And She changes me...and you

As Goddess moves through me
I see her moving through you
and She changes us both yet again

Allowing Our Wings to Dry

13/5/2011

 
When I pulled Damara (guiding children) as my Goddess Guidance Oracle card this morning, I was sorely tempted to ignore it.  But after pulling two more cards,  Butterfly Maiden (transformation) and Isolt (Undying Love), I thought better of it, started writing, and allowed the insights to flow through me like water through tea leaves.

Damara being a faery Goddess always reminds me of my daughter who talks to the fae.  She is going through a transformation as she is in the last two week push before graduation and is in that space of not a child yet not a woman. 

Our last couple of interactions have been of typical teenage angst, though not typical for her.  Usually a bubbly optimistic soul, when she gets into these angst ridden frames of mind, my reaction is to try to 'fix' or lift her up out of that place. 

But does that really serve her highest good?  If I lift her up all the time, how will she ever learn to lift herself up? 

It is within this space Butterfly Maiden swoops in with many lessons.  When a butterfly first emerges from its chrysalis, it has to wait for its wings to unfurl and dry before it can fly.  There is no rushing this process or its wings may not function properly. 

If I try to rush this process for my daughter her wings won't dry or function properly.  Heck, if I rush this process for myself, I won't function properly!

How about you dear one?  Have you been in a space of transformation and had well meaning people try to 'fix' or lift you up out of these spaces?  Have you been forced to get a move on before your wings had a chance to dry? 

Are you resisting these transformation spaces and trying to move on before
it is time?  Feeling like you're not functioning properly because you forced yourself to fly with wet wings?

What if you and I blessed ourselves with permission; to allow our wings to dry and celebrate our neophyte selves? 

What if we allowed ourselves to be giddy with excitement for the newness that transformations brings?

What if we remembered to give ourselves undying love during our transformational times regardless of the situation'? 
 
Today I offer this blessing for my daughter, myself and anyone experiencing change:

May the blessing of Damara help you find those child spaces within yourself needing to be healed.

May the blessings of Butterfly Maiden fill you with lightness of heart to celebrate what is past

And may Isolt remind you undying love is eternal...

No matter what. 

Stand for something or you will surely fall for anything

11/5/2011

 
I've been trying to write this Wishcasting Wednesday post for a couple of hours now.  The words I 'should' say about what I wish to stand for are just not coming.  So I am left with what is and I must honor that.

I've been on military time since my husband returned which consists of a  hurry up and wait rhythm that makes mince meat of the best made plans.  And as such, I come back to an issue that is extremely irritating to me; the treatment of our (US) veterans, especially the women who once served. 

While the men aren't necessarily treated as well as they should be, something I've seen very evidently in the military medical facilities, the women are all but non existent!  

We hear stories of men who have served but where are the women stories?  How many women have joined the military with the desire to do something for their country?  How many have died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan? 

The more I think of this the more I ask myself how many other battles have been fought around the world with women doing their part?

Aren't female soldiers' stories full of the same valor, courage and honor as men?  How many stories have disappeared as women have pasted into spirit? 
Picture
So today I wish to stand for women soldiers.  I pray you have the place of honor within our shared history you deserve for your service and sacrifice and I pray that your stories are shared so that my children and theirs may know that women can and do stand up to fight side by side with men in honor of their country.

Would you?

What if you believed you really were enough?

Would you live more fully?

What if you believed you already had everything you needed right now?

Would you share from your abundance?

What if you believed you had divinely given knowledge that could help others?

Would you show up each day in all your magnificence?

What if you believed all really would be well?

Would you let go of self-doubt and fear?

What if you believed that your body really is a scared vessel deserving of love?

Would you love more deeply?

What if you believed that you just being you was and is an incredible gift?


Would you treasure yourself?


Well..Would you?
