Return to the Goddess

February 14, 2013 by admin

This is the year that I return to the Goddess and making Goddess art. I recently purchased a beautiful deck of Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue to help guide me in my quest and for inspiration.

Today I drew the Yemanya card, Golden Opportunity: “Important doors are opening for you right now. Walk through”. How very fitting.

Yemanya the beautiful Brazilian Wishing Goddess. Like the ocean, life is rich with variety and beauty.

Pronounced “YEH-MAHN-JAH”; She is the Brazilian goddess who was created with the sea. Every December 31, people in Brazil celebrate Yemanya by casting white flowers and miniature boats upon the sea. You can work with Yemanya by putting a tiny boat into the sea and asking for a wish. If Yemanya grants your wish , her waves will swallow the miniature boat, and if she denies the wish the boat will wash ashore. Since the sea is the root of the Earths life, Yemanya’s connection to it makes her a very powerful and nurturing mother goddess. She’s a protector, supplier and one who grants wishes.

A Message from Yemanya “Golden Opportunity”

Important doors are opening for you right now, walk through them. Like the oceans waves, timing is everything, so when the opportunity presents itself dive in at that moment and allow your doubts to be washed away!

Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.
A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.
A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
Who meets them with tenderness and grace.Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past’s influence on the present.
A woman who has walked through her past.
Who has healed into the present.

Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.

Imagine a woman who names her own gods.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.

Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Imagine yourself as this woman.

Harvesting the talent in Toronto, Halifax, Montréal and Vancouver

To really connect with any big city, to fully explore its appeal, you need to know what moves the locals. You have to pin down whatever touches hearts, tickles minds and shakes hips. This is no easy task, and yet sniffing out a cultural scene’s most absorbing events can sometimes be as simple as being in the right place at the right time. In at least four great Canadian cities, autumn festivities are about as compelling as it gets. In Toronto, a massive all-night art installation turns the centre of the universe into another planet. Halifax assembles a pile of tremendous talent and kicks out the jams for five days. Galleries in Montréal become periscopes, transformed by the world’s best photography. And Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside reveals its true colours, which turn out be that city’s most dynamic and vibrant. All you have to do is show up and blend in…
