Dea-kyria-pontia - I Sit With My Lady And Watch The Sun Rise

Now that it's summer I can feel myself drawn to activities that are on a higher frequency. Dance, art, music, preparing food and connecting to what's real. Also, putting effort into looking nice, something that in my pagan days I didn't consider sacred or holy because I saw it as unnatural (along with most purely human activities and instincts that we don't share with our animal counterparts). I've never felt more connected to the Divine than when I started seeing our humanity as divine. I feel nothing but love for the natural world, animals, and nature worship itself. But I realize that in doing what I thought was 'going back to the basics' and spiritually valuing only that which came directly from nature, I denied myself the one thing I wanted: a spiritual relationship with the Goddess, the gods, and other people

Was just reminded that it can be confusing to switch blog names and since I completely changed my theme too I guess I'm doing my first name update ever 💗

“Alle complexiteiten van de wereld zijn slechts de draaiingen van een labyrint, en in het centrum bevindt zich het vurige rozenhart van onze Moeder, brandend van volmaakte liefde.”

De Heldere Overlevering; Leringen; De Enige Waarheid: v11

“All the complexities of the world are but the turnings of a labyrinth, and at the centre is the fiery rose-heart of our Mother, burning with perfect love.”

— I cried before the sea foam that Aphrodite was born from and she comforted me with her unconditional love.

"When God first made people, She did not put them on this earth, but kept them with Her in Heaven. It was so beautiful in Heaven, that I can hardly begin to describe it. But after a time, some of Her children disobeyed Her, and wandered away from Heaven.

Now Heaven is a place for perfectly good people, and because these children were disobedient, ‘they could not find their way back. But God sent Her Daughter, Inanna to help them, and Inanna created a new place for them to live, and this new place was called the earth.

When She first created it, the world was so fresh and bright and beautiful that if you could see it, you would say that Heaven could not be any more wonderful than that (but if you had seen Heaven, you would know that it could!).

When people first came to earth, it was called the Golden Age. People were not stuck in their physical bodies the way we are, they could just "step" out of them. They could travel to another place just by thinking about it. They could understand the language of birds and animals, and build a Temple in the air without wood or stones or any other physical material.

Great princesses ruled over the cities, and everyone was happy under their reign, because like true princesses, they did not rule according to their own likes and dislikes, but ruled in obedience to God and Her laws. These laws are so perfect that when maids live by them, they are always perfectly happy."
