Solstice Goddess Mysteries

The days we enter at this time of year in one way is all about our death/rebirth & crossing over between the upper- & underworlds— in our timeless moments in the underworld we meet & commune with the primordial Goddess.

In another way this is the time of the year that reminds us of our true reality & task of Self-realisation in the light of the Supernal Sun / star -

It is the Star that leads the Magi to the birth of the holy son- the descent or incarnation of the light into the form of man.

The descent of grace, is for the redemption & redeeming of man's Consciousness, that the divine light descends into a human form— awake to itself- therefore awakening others. Walking in the forest of darkness (human unconsciousness with the light of knowledge & love turned on- all manner of creatures, like butterflies I (the age-old symbol for psyche & soul) - are attracted to the light, & follow it, leading the way to Consciousness/ realisation.

In man's forgetfulness- the omnidirectional, transparent to itself, self-luminous, non-dimensional light- reflects itself

- (the descent of the light) - symbolised by the moon-however, the light, in whatever state of itself, remains the same divine, intelligible light.

The Supernal, the reflected/descended, & the human birth- is the completion of light in itself— the realised or divine human.

Although we think of the Supernal light as the divine Father or Absolute- it is also The Virgin Mother or Dark Goddess- this empty & full, dark but luminous or intelligible space is bother Father-Mother & also neither.

There are periods of history, we worship the divine as Father/Son/God & other periods as Mother/daughter/ goddess or both or neither.

Sometimes the star is the Sun, other times Venus.

Looking at the symbols, we don't look only with the eyes of analysis— symbols speak in Consciousness in ways that are layered & self-revealing in stages, like keys that onlock levels of understanding.

Wrapped up in the Virgin symbol with the Sun/Star behind the head a crescent moon under the teet is an immensity of knowledge that cannot be fully circumscribed by words.

This time of year is as much about the Virgin as about the birth of her Son.

Lady of the lake & the feminine principle of consciousness part 2/2

This is the subtle She, the misty & mysterious one, who stands on the border, between what is & what is not. The magical principle— that is Maya-Shakti or the Mary’s— therefore the feminine is associated with being psychic, with seeing & intuition.

The moon reflects sunlight to illuminate forms at night, showing up the content & possibilities within the unconscious ocean— through subtle or psychic perception & divination possibilities can be intuited & seen— the unconscious can speak.

For now we won’t say who Goddess is, but Goddess is the initiator— she is the cyclic & seasonal principle of sea & moon & womb & blood tides— at the depth of the womb (para*-see comments) where we deal with what is, & what is not, what is conceived & what is latent.

In turning periods, at appointed moments, where cycles line up in precise ratios of energies, she will rise from the deep, into consciousness— you will see her in the events, symbols & objects of you life-story, in whispers & reflections, you will glimpse her presence, & she will invite you to take up her initiation— the great reconning, of what in your life is inauthentic, out of balance, untrue & only pretence— it is time, to unravel your story— what is true & not true (sat & asat)— on you on the track of your destiny, are you dictated by fates— what are your possibilities?

It is time to sink into the womb of silence & timelessness— to go to sleep to the upperworld & wake in the underworld of dream, healing & potentiality—

Where Mary Mother found communion with the Angel Gabriel, & the person that was Mary, through her function as priestess, sacrificed herself to herself, & so became one with the universal & cosmic mother, MARY, of the ocean-womb of consciousness, of all possibility— soul with Mother, submersed in the timeless whole.

The priestess, the witch etc. is your guide to the other side & your midwife into your real life, to incubate & incarnate your divine Self (or Son, or Light) into the world— to individuate— into feminine authority, sovereignty, agency— in other words, your feminine magical capacity, that is the mature feminine wise lady or woman that sees into the depth & truth of things.

——footnote;

*Para— The Shakti Goddess Vāc of the Veda is the 4 stages of creation-manifestation from silence through sound to full articulation— the process of thinking & spelling the world into actuality & Para-Shakti is the universal womb, is Mahamaya that is the field of potentiality, the inclusive ring that births all form. Para-Shakti is power, energy, sound, vibration, substance— it is reflected consciousness— it is known because it is felt, & feeling in this sense is subtle perception with inner senses & knowing.

As it is not possible to truly speak of the transparent Absolute One that is beyond, humanity speaks of consciousness through using the elements as metaphors— because they have qualities— the original substance, as water or fire or ether or plasma or light or the cosmic being or cosmic mother etc.

"Радоуисѧ,Невѣсто Неневѣстнаꙗ"

Icon of the Virgin Mary “Tenderness” (19th-20th century)

[disabled-dean]

Truly the way this scene would have hit so much harder if Mary was the right age. Like Dean, girl, you're 40! You sound crazy!! That is a truly crazy thing to say to her!! She's 29! She's been dead for decades! She was brutally murdered! Her marriage was arranged by heaven! Her babies are now fully grown men! She just learned what tiktok is!

But this dynamic also validates Dean's feelings sooooooooo much more imo. If Mary really is 10+ years younger than he is, and if she's given the internal life in the narrative to process everything that's happened to her and to grieve and figure things out on her own, then what he wants is truly something he can't have!

It's not just an issue of Mary being able to meet his needs and choosing not to or needing more time, she really truly cannot give him what he's asking for and that is so painful! And it's so real. That kind of grief and the struggle to accept that your parent is never going to parent you the way that you need them to.

Dean really did lose his mother, and even though she's back, it doesn't change or fix that, it just forces all these feelings to the surface. It's messy. It isn't fair. And it isn't either of their faults. It's that kind of family trauma that you don't really have anywhere to put, it just carves out a space in you.

Anyways stream Ten Minutes From Home: Lebanon Coda to play in the 29 year old Mary space with me <3
