Blessed and happy Witchy Wednesday ladies! I hope you have had a fantastic week!
Who is the Goddess to me? The blessed mother Goddess is many things to many people. To me she is the divine feminine, the changing seasons, life death and rebirth, she is in everything and everything comes from her. I see in her what I want for myself-strength, passion, humility, beauty, grace, faithfulness, love, peace, ferocity, motherhood. She is who I turn to in times of trouble and rejoice in when she blesses me beyond measure. She is the warrior queen, still gentle enough to wipe the tears from your eyes.
Maiden Mother Crone As women and the moon go through cycles, so does the Goddess. The symbol )0( represents the Goddess in her different phases. ) as the waxing moon and maiden phase, 0 as the full moon and the mother phase, ( as the waxing moon and the crone phase. No matter where you are in your life, it is not a place that the Goddess has not been many times. Every year she goes from Maiden to Crone and back. She is the virgin maiden huntress, who will then be impregnated by the God, she will then give birth to him ( this must happen because all this come from her ), she will raise him and he will become her lover, she will mourn his death and the cycle repeats. Life, death and rebirth. All things come from her and return to her.
Many names, Many forms The way I choose to view Goddesses such as Diana, Brighid, Kali Ma, Athena, all the Goddesses from every culture are simply different forms or aspects of The Mother Goddess. Whatever you are going through in life, the Goddess has a name that you can call her to deal specifically with that problem.
Worship and Prayer I observe the passing of the season with sabbats and full moon rituals. I will admit to being a lazy witch and not holding circles as often as I should. But I do pray to the Goddess frequently, even if they are only short phrases "thank the Goddess" "Goddess help me" . It may be shocking to think that a Pagan would pray, but I do. Not always within a circle and yes, occasionally on my knees, but more often with raised hands and dancing. The Goddess does not call us to be humble, but to realize the divine within ourselves as we are all apart of her. Communing with nature, being kind to her creation, loving ourselves and one another, singing, dancing-all forms of worship.
This short post could not even begin to grasp the enormity of what the Goddess is to me. How do you put something so awe inspiring into words? Blessed Be.
