Rhiannon, whose name comes from Rigantona, which means Great Queen, asks us as Great Goddess of Love to become aware of, and change the patterns of Patriarchy. This monstrous sickness, which is the system which has brought such destruction to our Mother Earth, is so embedded into our psyche that we are often unaware of how we perpetuate and collude with it. It influences our ways of behaving to such an extent that we are not even aware how much of our communication, interaction and relationships, both with our self and with all others, are held and influenced by it. Rhiannon as Goddess of Love asks us to ‘shadow-hunt’ the places within us we most would like to avoid owning or looking at. She asks us to clear the glass of the lantern, so we may shine our love, our soul-light, our radiance, and be the change the world so desperately needs in this time.

I hereby hex any man who has ever wronged me

Any man who used me, moulded me into his perfect little fuck toy, instructed me to shave my legs, wear this, wear that, 'just try!' a blowjob even though just the thought would make me wretch and gag

Any man who saw me simply for my beauty, my innocence, my naivety, my young appearance, my neediness

You the devil on earth. Each of you. You take what isn't yours and destroy it, bend it till it breaks

May 2024 bring suffering to you all, while I reclaim my happiness and reclaim my body.

When I was a child I believed everything was possible. Sadly, I was met with adults who told me I should grow up and be responsible. They said fairy tales aren't sensible.

For a time I listened to that, thinking their worldview was reliable. When they told me my dreams and ambitions were unattainable. But then, I grew up and came to my own senses...how some adults are abominable.

Adults…many of them see in children what they’ve allowed to die inside of themselves. I know now they are very much ashamed of themselves. For that reason, they’d rather no child grows up to be happier or nobler than themselves.

I’m sure it must be envy.

I’m now a grownup, too. But unlike them, I haven’t died; not really, no. Even better, now that I’m older, I’m going to see all my dreams and ambitions come true.

And one day, when I have a child of my own, I’ll teach them to fight for their own fairy tale.

When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them. They show us the state of our decay.

Ariadne, princess of Crete, daughter of Minos and Minotaur’s Sister. Helped Theseus escaping the labyrinth with her magic Thread, abbandoned by the hero on the island of Naxos was rescued by Dionysus that took her as his spouse. According to the myth The God gave her a golden crown that gave origin to the constellation of the Corona Borealis, and after her death  he made her a goddess.

But underneath the Myth of Ariadne, we can find the ancient Minoan cult of the “Mistress of the labyrinth”, a powerful Great Godess connected with symbols of Snakes, Spirals and Bulls. These powerful symbols recall ancient fertility archetypes connected with the cycle of death and rebirth of the nature. The mistress of the Labyrinth was lately associated with other ancient and powerful goddesess like Aphrodite, Artemis, Demetra and Persephone. The power’s legacy of this ancient godess echoes again in the many symbols that we can find in the myth of Ariadne.

Book Review of 'Celtic Cosmology and The Otherworld: Mystic Origins, Sovereignty and Liminality' by Sharon Paice MacLeod

I found this book to be an excellent addition to my personal reference library. I think the author does an excellent job of displaying the information we do know about how the 'Celts' viewed their origins, liminality and sovereignty in an easily digestible way that could be picked up by someone new to the subject but also presented so much information that those already familiar would almost certainly learn new things as well.

I found that my only true complaint about the book was that the author didn't decide to cover more than three subjects.

Tarot Verbs & Verb Phrases - Major Arcana

[dianic-wicca-studies]

Themis is the Goddess of social instinct—the communal or collective consciousness—and such service as She requires acts as a civilizing force. This includes community festivals, good times, purification and ritual celebrations. The civilizing influence of Themis was promoted in Goddess worship by gathering the people of the community to worship the Source of Life with life-oriented activities—sacred dances, holy feasts and fasts, festivals and parades. Such activities allowed the people to contemplate all things larger than their immediate individual lives and to participate in the play of forces that essentially controlled their lives.

Matriarchal followers of Themis knew well that one's actions are controlled by one's thoughts. Thinking together communally served to create a civilized collective consciousness, directed toward the continuing health and well-being of the community. Such civilizations led long lives and dominated the social life, even into the new patriarchal culture, until suppressed. In every ethnic background, such a culture, such a civilization existed. The festivals were integral to them all.
