This month I wasn’t sure where to begin. So many
goddesses, so little time! I thought I’d begin
with two goddesses whose names begin with the
letter A since both of them persist in getting
my attention recently. Studying goddess is a
complete paradigm shift for most people. The
concept of Unified Multiplicity (what I call UM)
reminds us of the vast diversity of people yet
the oneness that we all share. Worshipping (God-dess)
in all forms: male, female, animal, plant,
mineral, spirit can bring you to the place of
gratitude and appreciation that I find
encourages calmness and serenity, both qualities
many are searching for today. This month’s
goddesses come from opposite sides of the globe
and bring us guidance and direction as to how to
live a harmonious and peaceful life despite the
dominant paradigm of fear, lack and scarcity. I
hope you enjoy these two goddesses and that they
bring you “the peace that passeth
understanding”. Blessed Be!
Anahita
Reflection: Mother Protector, Persia
Anahita is an ancient Persian (present day Iran)
goddess who brings us information about doing
the right thing. Your actions are a
reflection of who you truly are and will be an
example to everyone you encounter. Life is a
response and Anahita reminds us of that. We
become a reflection of our thoughts, beliefs and
actions.
In light of what is happening in Iran this
goddess is oh so needed by all conscious beings.
I was married to a Persian man for six years and
learned much about both Iran (Persia) and the
religion of Islam. I am amazed at the amount of
disinformation that abounds about both Iran and
Islam. So I turn to Anahita who keeps coming up
for me. She represents Mother Protector.
Present day Iran is by anyone’s reckoning
repressive. Information, including the internet
and satellites are regulated and what is deemed
inappropriate is not allowed. As has been their
history, the people of Iran are enduring
another repressive regime but now they are
considered the enemy of the US. I call on
Anahita to guide and protect the mothers and
fathers and most importantly the children of
Iran and I pray that people of conscience
prevent the US government from invading, bombing
or God(dess) forbid using nuclear or chemical
warfare against innocent people. This is the
plan that is in place.
Anahita asks that every night you take
inventory, keep a journal and observe how The
Beauty Path unfolds before you as you shine your
light and banish all negativity including the
negativity and fear that your TV is feeding you.
Try tuning into Anahita for your information.
She will protect you.
Awehai
Reparation: Giver of Life, Iroquois People
The Native Americans worshipped many goddesses
and Awehai is an important one. She teaches
about defeats and challenges and the healing
stages that result. Frustration, anger,
bitterness, remorse and depression abound among
the people of this planet. Native Americans
suffered the ultimate defeat when their paradise
was overtaken by the original illegal
immigrants. It is how we respond to these
“negative” experiences that truly defines us.
Many get stuck in the negative emotions that
normally follow disappointment and use many
techniques to check out or numb themselves,
notice the high percentage of natives who abuse
alcohol. Instead, those negative feelings can be
steps and stages to wholeness (holiness) as we
begin the process of reparation or repairing.
Awehai’s name contains the root of AWE. The
feeling of awe can be elicited through many
avenues: something happens and we decide to
define it as awful or perhaps awesome: two very
different perspectives. Awehai reminds us to
look for the possibilities in life and to
never let defeats render us immobile or
impotent. She encourages us to live an Awe-Full
life; one that abounds with gratitude and
appreciation for everything that comes our way,
including and especially the challenges and
defeats. Begin building or rebuilding or
repairing and call on Awehai to assist you.
Blessed Be!
