💎Goddess essence game💎

⚔🏔🌊🦢🌸⛰🌋🧊

Based on astrology and my intuition💕

For people who identify as female, feminine or just want a peek into their feminine energy

🤍We are all goddesses on Earth, walking among other goddesses, hiding in plain sight behind the seemingly mundane life of this world🤍

I'm going to try to give you a type of goddess(es) that is most similar to you in essence. They can be from any pantheon, and I won't limit their number. Each response is going to be highly individual, so it's very open, and keep in mind that each deity is a unique force, so no matter which ones someone else recommends, you have to go with the one that feels like home to you, the one that you think is right.

Rules:

Send your vedic chart with nakshatra placements visible via asks

Reblog one post from my masterlist

Reblog this post

Be patient please🤍

No anons, obviously

Check status before sending the ask

This is a very uplifting and pressure-free game so, I can't have people who rudely correct me and my response to someone else's ask. If you have a different opinion then please, state it politely and if you feel bad about my response to your ask, then feel free to explore mythology on your own, you don't have to agree with me or anyone else.

If my mutuals participate I'll probably be kicking my feet😍

If you want to keep your chart private you can send it via dms💕

CURRENT STATUS: CLOSED

I don't want to keep closing or reopening. Somehow once I think that there will not be anymore participants and close it, people who missed it appear😭 so this is your last chance, and please share this with anyone you think would want to participate.

EDIT: Please send feedback via asks afterwards. It does not have to be long, just honest and respectful. 💕

Also, thank you to everyone who takes their time to comment on my posts, in comments or in their reblogs. Feedback means so much to me, even just simple acknowledgments that you enjoyed it😭🥰 thank you so much. This is my reward to you.

Hathor, patroness of the west, who is represented as a cow emerging from the western mountain at Thebes into the clumps of papyrus that fringe the Nile Valley. She wears around her neck the pendulum shaped counterpoise and loosely strung bead rows of a 'menyet' collar. The 'menyet' collar provides source of sound when shaken and particularly associated with the goddess' worship. Between her horns are a sun-disc and tall plumes. Papyrus of Ani, British Museum, EA10470,34

Usha Lakshmi Rishika Gargi

Ratri

All of it feels so confusing. Everybody is looking at me warily as if I will soon snap at me. Maa keeps asking me what is bothering me inside and I repeat the same answer: I don't know. I don't have answer to these damn numericals, to the questions about why I had to move out and live her away from school and friends and why I feel so low about my self. I used to call myself pretty as a child, but now when I look at the mirror, I hate looking at it. Soulless eyes stare back at me. My hair is unkept and lips dry. I cry more than I breathe.

This is not how Usha had taught me to be. This is not the friend Goddess Lakshmi had made. This is not the girl Gargi saw. I am probably not going to amount to something great....

I run to the terrace. It is surrounded by large green hills that appear a foot closer when it rains. When no person understands you have nature standing with you. The trees hear your sobs, the hills see you hold yourself so strong knowing that there are too many tumultuous thoughts in your head ready to break you. The gentle winds try to wipe your tears away and the moon becomes your silent friend to confide all your sorrows, pain and fears.

The terrace is shrouded in darkness. The stars too aren't playing in the sky today. The moon looks slightly pale today. Everything looks so dull. Just like me.

"Is the outside world dull or have you projected your gaze on them?"

Huh??? I swiftly move my head towards the direction of the unknown voice. I see no being standing.

"Look carefully. You shall find the voice, your answers as well as your happiness."

I was sad. Now, I will definitely go mad. I skim my eyes through the dark when a shimmery glaze blinds my sight and flies around me. It appears like those sparkle showers from Barbie movies when Barbie gets a new princess dress.

In the dark, dressed in shimmery drapes stands a woman who looks like a queen. A tiara shines on her head and on the centre, there is a stone which looks similar to a diamond. Her eyes are dark but they shine as if containing all the stars inside them.

She outstretches her hand towards me. It doesn't feel warm unlike the other goddesses. It feels cold and light as if a cool gust of wind has brushed my skin. Her lips curl and I hear her say, "I won't be motherly or behave like your mortal and divine sisters. I know the pains you are going through. I am not here to soothe the hurt you carry in your heart. I am the silent witness to all the tiredness, sorrow, hurt and pain that exists in the world for only during nightime does one express and release all emotions held in the deepest corners of the heart. I am here to tell you that this journey of thorns is still incomplete. Pain, sadness, loss is inevitable, but do not fall prey to it and break down. Release, cry, scream and shout, but take it all out. In dawn, when my sister Usha brings her chariot in the sky, your eyes must carry strength and hope once again. You will not lose. You will get there where you want. Good times and bad times follow each other just like we sisters- Usha and me."

She blinks those star-like eyes. For a minute, I see some sympathy, a little kind look at my condition. When I blink my tears away, her enchanting face looks hostile. She tilts her chin up and says, "My presence will be cold, will make you feel that the whole world is desolate, but I am a good listener. This darkness will bring you towards light. I shall always propel you towards it. Sometimes nights will start feeling tender too. Goodnight.... "

With a graceful turn, she starts flying to the sky. Her shimmery clothes flutter in the sky. I stare at those tiny sparkles and then she disappears into thin air. A tiny sparkle still sits on my palm.

I created a small devotional video for Aphrodite, with her Orphic Hymn. Here is the text of the hymn: Orphic Hymn to Aphrodite Heavenly, smiling Aphrodite, praised in many hymns, sea-born, revered goddess of generation, you like the nightlong revel and you couple lovers at night, O scheming mother of Necessity. Everything comes from you; you have yoked the world, and you control all three realms. You give birth to all, to everything in heaven, upon the fruitful earth and in the depths of the sea, O venerable companion of Bacchos. You delight in festivities, O bridelike mother of the Erotes, O Persuasion whose joy is in the bed of love, secretive, giver of grace, visible and invisible, lovely-tressed daughter of a noble father, bridal feast companion of the gods, sceptered she-wolf, beloved and man-loving giver of birth and of life, with your maddening love-charms you yoke mortals and the many races of beasts to unbridled passion. Come, O goddess born in Cyprus, whether you are on Olympos, O queen, exulting in the beauty of your face, or you wander in Syria, country of fine frankincense, or, yet, driving your golden chariot in the plain, you lord it over Egypt’s fertile river bed. Come, whether you ride your swan-drawn chariot over the sea’s billows, joying in the creatures of the deep as they dance in circles, or you delight in the company of the dark-faced nymphs on land, (as, light-footed, they frisk over the sandy beaches). Come, lady, even if you are in Cyprus that cherishes you, where fair maidens and chaste nymphs throughout the year sing of you, O blessed one, and of immortal, pure Adonis. Come, O beautiful and comely goddess; I summon you with holy words and pious soul. (Translation by A. Athanassakis) Music in the video: Crowander - Don't you leave (Creative Commons License) Rose frame picture: Pixabay video with Aphrodite collage picture, incense and candles: by me

Ancient Bee Goddess- 

Demeter, Rhea, Cybele- were called ‘melissae’, the ancient Latin word for bees. The Bible mentions a ruler and prophetess of ancient Israel called Deborah, the “Queen Bee”. Erich Neumann, in ‘The Great Mother’, says the priestesses of the moon goddess were called bees because “it was believed that all honey came from the moon, the hive whose bees were the stars.”” - Layne Redmond- Art: ‘The Bee Goddess’ by Emily Balivet
