The Dance of
the Divine Goddess
Welcome,
beloved sister and brother Goddesses/Gods of the four orders of
Wind, Fire, Water and Earth. Once again we come together to
celebrate the Solstice, a time of the rebirth of our seasons….a
time as ancient and wondrous as each and every soul gathered to
embrace this divine remembrance.
Recently, a
dear friend sent me a lovely card and within that card was written
a most beautiful verse that bespeaks of the choreography we are
bringing back into our memory:
“Dance of All
Seasons
With great
joy, the Goddess dances the dance of all seasons. Wreathed around
her head is Spring, bright with daffodils and a forest of
bluebells awakening from their long sleep. April showers and
rainbows lead us into the long warm days of Summer. Her skirt
swirls with a misty Autumnal scene, leaving a trail of vibrant
fall leaves behind her dancing feet. Within her scarf floats a
tiny hamlet in the depths of Winter with frosted trees and a veil
of delicate snowflakes. Her eternally spirited dance ensures for
the Earth that the cycle of the seasons will go on.”
Most beloved
Father God, Mother Goddess…we come today to honor the season of
the God/Goddess. This day, please guide us and watch over us that
the things we do are not selfish or self-serving, but a tribute to
the love and empowerment you have given us. Let our intentions be
motivated by the love for others and the need to be of service.
Shield
us with your total enveloping power and enable us to reach into
the core of our being, our own Circle of Power, into the God Center of the Gods and
Goddesses we are.
We come to
you to once again celebrate the rebirth of the Goddess
Principle….to understand Who We Are and Why We Are Here, as you
have told us before. And in doing so, to remember the Goddesses
that we are. Thank you Zeb and Zarna, the Twin Soul God/Goddess,
for continuing to bring us hope through inspiration.
It is the
season of the Winter Solstice. A time of rebirth, renewal. Not
only is it a rebirth of our Mother Earth in this season of
awakening, but it is the season of the continuation of our
awakening to the Divine Goddess within us.
The age of
the Goddess is returning, and it is a joy to remember that this
time we are not alone. We are the God/Goddess, the masculine and
feminine aspect of One Being of Light. As They Are, so We Are
…masculine and feminine. Balanced. Unified.
We are a
light…a candle burning brightly in a shadowed world of confusion,
chaos and aloneness. Enlightenment is the expression of
freedom. It is time for us to unbind ourselves from the
restrictive beliefs and traditions that rob us of expressing our
freewill.
Let our love
and forgiveness flow freely. Let us embrace the passions expressed
in our loving…embrace our sovereignty. It is time to celebrate
our divinity and allow nothing to hinder our dance of joy.
Mother and
Father, Divine Parents and Twin Soul God/Goddess that are both
within each other, and within each of us….guide us in the
commemoration of this rebirth of a new season, a new age, and a
new beginning.
Since ancient
ages, the celebrations of Spirit and Earth have blended. In this
blending of the Earth and Spirit Goddesses, we celebrate the
natural cycles of our bodies, the moon and the seasons.
At this time
of the year, as our Mother Gaia prepares for a rebirth, we
celebrate the union of Earth Mother and Spiritual Mother, Earth
Father and Spiritual Father through loving each other and loving
ourselves.
We have been
shown ways to come closer together, to honor and respect each
other. And in doing so, we honor our Beloved Parents and the
Mission of our enlightenment.
Let us
celebrate this season as the goddesses that we are and by looking
into the eyes of each female we meet, help us to recognize the
goddess within each of us. Let us remember the words of our Mother
Zarna when She taught us to look into the eyes of each female for
the girl child unfolding. For the young maiden blossoming. The
young woman fulfilling her passions. The young mother
experiencing the creation of new life… a power older than time.
The wise woman…the nurturer. And last but not least…the Old One,
the woman who has journeyed the distance.
Dear Sisters,
when we look deep into the eyes of these women, remember that we
are looking into the eyes of our Mother Zarna, and of Her Mother’s
Mothers.
And remember too, if you wish to see the Goddess I Am…look
into the mirror and see into the eyes of the woman staring back at
you. Remember, the word “Goddess” contains the word “God”….the
word “She” contains the word “He” and the word “Woman” contains
the word “Man”. We are not separate from one another. This is the
true meaning of The Twin Soul Goddess.
So in this season of rebirth, let us once again embrace the power
that is within, through love, sharing, respect and honor. Let us
light a candle as a beacon of warmth, light and awakening to the
Goddess/God/Woman/Man that we are. And let this light shine upon
the spirit of oneness, putting aside the pain of who we were
and embracing the joy of who we are now….this day….this
season.
Let us go forth in patience, understanding, love and
forgiveness. Be patient of those around us who misunderstand what
we do, what we know, what we feel; be understanding by honoring
and respecting what they feel, yet honoring ourselves for what we
believe, who we are, and what we celebrate; and welcome with our
love, all who dare to be free. None are to be excluded, for……“We
are You, and You are Us.”
So in the quiet of this peaceful moment, let us listen
closely. Do you hear it? Do you hear the soft rhythm pulsing
deep within our inner selves? Do you hear the music?
It is time to rejoice….time to join hands and hearts, dear
Gods/Goddesses.
It is time to begin the Dance of All Seasons.
