As we speak, a specific goddess is in the background, supporting you.
Let’s unveil who this is with the help of Goddess oracle cards, so that we can amplify their blessings!
What does the Goddess have to say to you?
Pick between 1 -7, in the picture below.
================================
================================
GROUP 1
================================
================================
Butterfly Maiden
“You are experiencing enormous change right now, which brings great blessings.”
This Goddess is a Native American spirit who ensures bountiful harvests. She’s a springtime Goddess who helps us escape from any cocoon situation that may feel trapping to us, or traps our joy. This Goddess is one to call on when you feel stuck. She will also guide you through life transitions.
I think a sentence I heard might apply: “It’s like you’re not sure when to walk away”.
“As you go through this period of change, it’s natural for you to wonder if your future is safe. I’m here to assure you that you’re part of natures cycle of birth, death and rebirth. To bring in desired newness, you must let old parts of your life fall away. These changes are to be celebrated, not feared.”
This Goddess is reassuring you, and helping you to breath deeply through the fearful and anxious moments. Even when good might be happening, it could still be overwhelming to your mind or nervous system. It’s time to reach out now, slowly and surely. You are really blossoming and growing as a person!
You could see signs of this goddess through butterflies, moths, and something else I can’t quite put my finger on… It’s like it has a big body with wings. Not a bee or wasp, something even less harmless. Tell me if there is another flying insect that you’ve been seeing a lot, or got real close to you.
The bigger the butterfly (or other) the bigger the change!
I’m also seeing a telephone, so an important call could come through this summer.
I see children, and plaiting hair. Green really stands out too.
Let me know if this resonated!
=========================
=========================
GROUP 2
=========================
==========================
Aine
Leap of faith
“Take a risk, and put your heart’s true desire into action!”
Group two, it’s time to throw your hat in the ring - I nearly wrote heart. This could be a leap of faith romantically for someone here, and for another it could be for a goal. Are there some football (soccer) lovers here? I’ve been watching the matches taking place in America. Crazy times, though.
Ok also, I’m seeing a little bit of a tower moment (real? Imagined? Anxiety about it? Not sure) But I’m seeing a situation that sucks, and there’s no better time to try for something, the logic behind it being what else is there to lose. I hope you get what I mean by that…
example: A person loses their job, hasn’t gotten employed again yet, so they think - may as well try a side hustle, not like it would hurt to see. That kind of thing.
The guidebook description talks about a tendency to procrastinate and ignore dreams or wishes. Indecision blocks growth, and your souls desire. It asks you not to worry about making a wrong decision - making a decision is better than not making one at all. Do not allow yourself to freeze like this.
It goes on to say once you choose, and settle with a goal or dream, heaven will support it!
The power is in the decision, in the intention! So set it!
Guidebook messages:
Your chosen path is the right one for you
Your material needs will be taken care of
Take action steps towards you dream
“Don’t hesitate or delay a moment longer!”
About:
Aine is a Celtic goddess and a fairy queen. She helps to grow crops and oversee animals. She had many children with mortal men.
Call on Aine when you desire guidance and the courage to take risks.
Hope that made sense!

=============================
GROUP 3
===============================
==============================
You got two goddess cards group 3, how lucky are you? Oh my. If you felt drawn to group 1, it’s ok, just means there’s a lot of energy and work in your life - go ahead and read it. Triple goddess energy.
Ishtar
Boundaries
“Love yourself enough to say no to others demands on your time and energy.”
Ishtar feels really to the point, I opened the guidebook and landed IMMEDIATELY on her page.
Ishtar has been invoked since the Babylonian times as an embodiment of Venus energy. Ishtar is all about the divine feminine and all aspects of that - nurturing, fertility, healing and much more. She will help both men and women.
“A sincere desire to give and be of service is wonderful. However, there’s a distinction between giving of yourself, and giving up yourself. If you feel tired, guilty, or resentful when helping others, then you’re not truly helping them, are you? You’re injecting poisonous energy into the relationship, and then no one benefits. Step back and reassess the situation. As you respect your own boundaries, others will begin to recognise them within you, and within themselves too.”
-You’re giving too much
-Don’t do things out of obligation
I do think you’re very tired, because I’m finding myself get woozy, and a little mixed up while I type. Please get some extra sleep, and unwind. It feels like you need to spend some time doing not very much (Calmly napping, cuddling a pet, watching a silly show, etc) Take a deep breath, and let yourself be still.
Next we have Vesta.
Vesta is the roman goddess of home and hearth. She is a fire goddess who brings warmth to homes. Call upon her for changes that you want to see in your home situation.
Looks like these boundaries have most to do with your home life, and family. Especially those you live with!
“Your household situation is improving, either through a move or a healthy change in the occupants.”
Guidebook notes:
You’re moving/just moved
A problem with neighbours is resolving
Clear the space in your home (I also think clear the energy)
Increased romance/harmony in the home
I’m getting a lot of responsible energy from this group. It’s clear as day that you may benefit from delegating chores, only taking your fair share in duties, and defining who’s space is where in shared living. With Ishtar and boundaries, and a mention of neighbours, this could be pointing to issues of a land boundary, such as where your garden ends and theirs begins. Maybe there have been arguments or pettiness.
It seems very tiresome right now, please call on these goddesses to give you courage to put your foot down and demand the space you deserve, the rights you deserve, the rest you deserve.
==========================
==========================
GROUP 4
===========================
===========================
Group 4, you got 2 goddess cards! Though I think one card may be describing your spirit guide. Could it be for someone here Artemis acts as your guide? Or a goddess closely works with you already?
Before I properly begin to write and share the meanings, I feel the need to mention how I had a big urge to take a break, have a snack, get hydrated, and with both these cards they are quite nature oriented. I wonder if you’ve been getting messages to get outside, get fresh air, take care of yourself etc.
Artemis
Artemis, the greek Goddess, is the twin sister of Apollo, the sun God. She can help us concentrate and focus, just like she does with her bow and arrow. She offers protection to all who call upon her.
“You and your loved ones are safe and spiritually protected.”
“Like me, you have a sacred mission to spread love and light. ( As I typed that, I heard ‘let there be light’) Yet this isn’t a position that comes with tension or worry. Instead, the gentle essence of a joyful heart sets your power into motion. Why would there be any tension in your mind or system unless you somehow believed you were unsafe? And how could you be unsafe when you have called upon the spiritual warriors to watch over you? Your prayers have activated the flawless protection of heaven.”
-Angels are watching over you and your family.
-The worst is now behind you
Cordelia
Go outside
“You have been indoors too long. Go outside and get some fresh air.”
Both of these cards so far as well are giving animal vibes. If you have a pet, make sure to spend time with them - it will help your nervous system and they want to be near you anyway. If you have been worried about any animals wellbeing, or concerned about animal welfare, these 2 Goddesses are listening and helping you endeavour to improve the lives and wellbeing of all animals. If you are feeling called to work with animals in any capacity, you are being supported! Ask for protection for yourself, those you care about, and vulnerable animals.
Cordelia is a Celtic fairy Goddess who helps watch over the flowers that bloom during spring and summer. These may be very important seasons for you this year. She is associated with Beltane. You can also call upon her to thaw out a cold situation such as a dreary relationship or job.
Notes:
-Spend time in nature
-Make job changes that allow you to connect with nature in some way
-Practice environmentalism
-Balance your life. Make sure to play.
If you have been facing issues within a group, call upon both of these goddesses to create warmth and joy in the environment.
Lastly, I’m seeing someone here could be worried about global warming, and the wellbeing of the environment. You are very much heard by the Goddesses, and as you call on them for guidance, you too can do your bit to protect the world and it’s inhabitants.
Be receptive to the guidance of these beings, as they can give you a very specific focus to the betterment of your surroundings.
Group 4 I really like you, you seem like a very caring person.
===========================
============================
GROUP 5
=============================
=============================
Isis
Past life
“This situation involves your past life memories.”
I’m seeing genuinely a heavy or intense past life for those in group 5, that issue is definitely showing up. You could have patterns or habits that relate to that life, without realising. You could also behave defensively, even if you haven’t experienced a particular issue in this current lifetime. The fear of something may still remain in your energy!
Persecution could have been a factor. I’m seeing an innocent person who was judged or harmed. I’m also seeing knights of templar. I really notice how the figure clutches onto their item - there could have been a big loss in that life, and you never could move on, or your sentimentality simply took hold of you.
You could have been a water sign, or you are now. As for places, there are quite a few different ones, including egypt/greece. Someone here could have Pluto in the 12th, or 1st house. There is a feeling of atonement.
Isis is coming forward to say you only have to pay as long as you think you have to. You could release this, by choice. Any promises, any regrets, any shame - it is only so strong because you haven’t let go since that time. You have a choice - will you let go, now?
You could feel like a villain, even when you haven’t objectively been one. Other people might have made you feel like you were, when in reality they were the villains. You read as the type of person who is deathly afraid of being bad, of doing bad. Know that these deep fears come from that past life, or the things you went through currently (whether deserved or not).
There is deep shame for some reason here, and Isis is with you to get you past that. There is also extremely self protective energy. This could genuinely be from some type of trauma, whether current life or previous. Isis does seem like the perfect being to aid with such deep matters. I notice Isis is a very wise being, who works with people of great depth too. Isis is not for the weak of mind. You must be very strong. It’s genuinely a gift and a complement if Isis reaches out to you.
Call upon Isis to help you let go of the past. You can begin anew.
A sign she might be with you could be goosebumps or a shiver.
“Your roots upon this planet are strong and deep, and some of the roots have anchored you so deeply, in fact, that you’re paralysed when it comes to moving forward. I’ve called your attention to this conditions so that you may unearth and uproot past memories. Sometimes you bury those memories to shield yourself from psychic pain or embarrassment, so you won’t remember those awkward moments when life tested you to the maximum. Reveal those lessons to yourself now, strong sorcerer/sorceress and move forward.”
-get a past life regression to gain insights
-Ancient fears from a past life are resurfacing now
-Your current situation relates to a childhood issue
Isis is the Egyptian high priestess moon goddess. She is motherly AND business like. Feminine yet extremely strong. She married Osiris, and had a son, Horus. Isis is known as a goddess of divine magic and alchemy. Work with her for witch craft only if you are serious about it. You can call upon her to assist in many areas, including help with past life memories.
If this touches on a past life you know about, I’d love to hear!
I wish for the best for you group 5, I genuinely think you are good people. You care too much to be a villain lol.
===============================
===============================
GROUP 6
===============================
===============================
Lakshmi - Bright future
“Stop worrying. Everything is going to be fine.”
I would be so amused if anyone from group 5 came here.
Lakshmi is a hindu goddess who brings abundance to those who call her. She’s happy to bring supply to you, whether that means money, time, knowledge or opportunity. She works with Ganesh, who is known as the overcomer of obstacles. They both help release fear and accept abundance.
“This is a kind universe, and everyone within it is working in your favour. There are no tests, obstacles, or blocks in your way, except your own projections of fear into your future. Why would you wish darkness upon yourself when light shines all around you? Step into this brightness by lightening your thoughts and feelings. You must stop worrying. Refuse to think of anything except your bright today and tomorrow, and I promise you it shall be so.”
I’m also seeing that you should allow yourself to be in photos more! You will love to look back on happy, bright times, and your youth. Even if you think you’re 'old' now, this is the youngest you will be! So really memorialise stuff to remember well.
This Goddess asks you to be present in the moment as there is something good to just sink into right now. Whether that’s good food, a healthy relationship, or a comfortable place to stay. There is something to celebrate, and simply enjoy to the fullest. If there is an opportunity for a vacation, go for it! It looks like it will be fun.
When this card shows up, you really, truly are looked after. You are going to be ok. Things are going to be ok. When in doubt, when you want to know you will have what you need, call upon Lakshmi, and she will smile upon you and your fortune.
===============================
================================
GROUP 7
================================
================================
Hello group 7, you have the lucky number, and I got “I should be so lucky” in my head as I started to type. Maybe this is a reference to your love life, as the lyrics say.
You have two cards, and they are both Egyptian goddesses. You might have a very strong connection to Egypt, the culture, or perhaps you are an old soul. With the lion, there could be people with Leo placements here - take that as extra confirmation.
For some reason health and wellness is coming through. This is confirmation that it’s a good idea to improve your bodily strength and fitness, with the help of professionals who can assist you in knowing what is healthiest for your body.
For those who are single, I’m seeing if you feel stronger in your body, that will translate to other areas of your life. It will help your confidence immensely, and you will begin to behave differently and as a result, you could attract better potential partners who align with you more.
Sekhmet - Be strong
“You are stronger than you think you are, and your strength assures a happy outcome.”
Her name means strong and mighty. Sekhmet is fiercely protective. Call upon her to shore up your strength and power. She is married to the deity Ptah. She sometimes appears as a woman with the head of a lion.
Bast - Independent
“Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success”
She shows herself as a cat and protects with her night seeing vision. Her traits are graceful, independent, playful, intuitive. Bast also works with cat lovers to help them. She is daughter of sun God, Ra. She is both a moon AND sun goddess.
These cards are interesting combined. There’s something that you need to hold out, for your own sake. Whether that’s resisting the temptation to eat a full party size cake alone (What, just me?), or to message that ex. Whatever it is you have to stick to, you can do it! Call upon these Goddesses for the self control, strength and grace to do what’s best for you and your wellbeing!
These Goddesses love to remind you of your inherent divine nature, your worthiness, how very special you truly are. How you deserve to ooze confidence and security in your own body. You deserve to feel good in yourself, and about yourself.
So whether this is a detox, a glow up, or a health kick, you can do this!
These two cards also suggest not to give into peer pressure, and do things on your own call. People might have opinions on how you should look or live your life, but do what is healthy and right for YOU.
Extra notes from the guidebook:
-Don’t yield to pressure
-Don’t underestimate yourself
-Avoid indulging in complaining
-Spend some time alone
-Make your own decision
-Ask for needs to be met
Hope you liked your reading!
Ps. Is there like one person who has an overweight cat here lmao, ask Bast for help to improve their health and habits.
“The Morrigan is arguably best known for her warrior form, and for good reason. In many of the Morrigan's most famous myths, the sisters play crucial roles in winning battles. They strategize with heroes, summon exhausted kings to rise, and attack with magick. They bring about victory when it seems impossible.”
—The Morrigan: Celtic Goddess of Magick and Might, Courtney Weber
Hey, you! The Novena to St. Brigid Starts Tomorrow! (1/23)
Mural of Brigid in Co. Kildare
St. Brigid is an incredibly important and inspirational saint for the Irish people, the Irish diaspora, women, poets, children with abusive fathers or an unstable home, healers, blacksmiths, firefighters, midwives, people giving birth, dairy workers, chicken farmers, sailors, scholars, nuns, pro-choice acitivists, women's ordination activists, travellers, AND MORE! 📚
You may already know that there are heavy connections between the Irish goddess Brigid and St. Brigid. The pagan Brigid is a triple goddess, and not in the "maiden, mother, crone" way. She is Brigid the healer, the smith, and the poet. She is a goddess of fire- the inner fire, the lifeforce, the hearth, the fire of the forge, and the fire of inspiration. In fact, her name means "vitality" or "strength." Imbolg is her holy day. 🔥
St. Brigid is a canonized Catholic saint who's said to be the "Mary of the Gael," showing just how relevant she is to the Irish people. She's started her own monastery and was a travelling missionary. She's especially known for her generosity. She's often depicted as holding a shepherd's staff, something only bishops are portayed with in iconography. As it happens, Brigid may have been (and I believe that she was) one of the first ordained female bishops within the Catholic church. 😇
Now, many Catholics will insist that St. Brigid is a serpate human person from the Brigid of mythology, and many pagans will insist the same. There's debate surrounding the literal historical existance of a human saint named Brigid. My personal belief system is syncretic. It's obvious that St. Brigid's life stories have taken heavy inspiration from pagan tradition. There are some obvious differences as well. It's my personal belief that Brigid can and will express herself in whichever way her people, and any people, will recieve her. Back then it was pagan spirituality and a goddess culture. As time marched forward the Catholic church became Ireland's favorite inlet to the Divine. Brigid is a goddess of multiple persons and infinite possibilities. I don't think it's too much of a jump to veiw the two women as emanations of the same personality. It's also been shown time and time again that Irish folklore has transformed and survived through Catholicism. The love for Brigid is no exception. 💚
Here's a wonderful podcast episode telling some stories from the saint's life, as well as diving into the syncretic nature of Brigid.🎙
Here are some prayers you could use for your novena leading up to her feast day, Feb 1st. To pray a novena, you simply select a prayer or prayers to St. Brigid that speak to you, and pray them for nine days at the same time each day. A candle lit in her honor during your prayers (or even a perpetual flame, if you know your fire safety and wanna get fancy) is a nice touch but not required.🕯
Prayers listed by a Catholic community in support of inclusivity and women's ordination.
Prayers and traditions surrounding St. Brigid
More prayers, including a litany to St. Brigid
Hopefully during this Imbolg season I'll be able to post more about the goddess and saint Brigid. St. Brigid, pray for us! 🕯
Crow/Raven flew past my face today… What should I make of that?… .𖥔 ݁ ˖ ✦ ‧
Hello! Would love some answers regarding this from those who are devotees of The Morrigan. I’ve been increasingly interested in Celtic deities, and I’ve been doing a lot of research about them lately.
Mostly I’ve been reading about Danu & Brigit, and I’ve only briefly looked into The Morrigan. Just some baseline research on who she is and watching videos by devotees of her’s on TikTok.
I thought I was going to be more interested in serving Brigit, but something interesting happened today. While I was leaving the store with my son strapped to my chest, a big black bird swooped right in front of my face. The bird couldn’t have been more that 6 inches from my face, and I was really surprised they didn’t hit my son.
Normally, I would have freaked out a little bit, but I was surprisingly calm when this happened. I didn’t even flinch. The bird landed gracefully a few feet away from me and just stood there. I kept walking, but I turned to look at them and it felt like the bird was eyeing me.
Now, I’m really not a bird expert by any means. I know it had to be a raven or a crow based on size and look, but I have a hard time making the distinction between the two.
My question is two-fold. For those who are knowledgeable about corvids, how can you tell the difference between a crow and a raven? Also, bonus question, is that normal behavior for one of these birds? Now, for those who are devotees of The Morrigan, do you think this was a sign from her? Is she possibly trying to reach me? It’s a very exciting prospect, and I would love to hear your thoughts!
