There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties.

It doesn't mean she never passes the torch; she just never stops inspiring.
I want us all to grow so comfortable in our own feelings, our own knowing, our own imagination that we become more committed to our own joy, freedom, and integrity than we are to manipulating what others think of us. I want us to refuse to betray ourselves. Because what the world needs now, in order to evolve, is to watch one woman at a time, live her truest, most beautiful life without asking for permission or offering explanation.

It doesn't mean she never fears being judged; she just never holds a grudge.
But I feel so helpless.
That is usually the rule when you are taken advantage of. You can be the most powerful witch in the land, but you will always have a weakness, and that will always make you believe you have no power when someone exploits it. There is no greater strength than the ability to understand and accept your own flaws.
If there is one thing I have learned...it is that we must always be in the business of forgiveness, lest we become consumed by our anger.― Rin Chupeco, The Bone Witch

It doesn't mean she never ages- she owns it; she just never believes she's old.
People often wondered what it was that made her so very compelling. Why she drew people in again and again? It wasn’t her beauty or her talent, though many, including myself, found those impossible to argue. I believe it was because she refused to deny the storm of her. She wasn’t all sunny days and brightness, and she knew it. Most people shy away from their own darkness, but she cast it across the sky without shame and it turns out none of us could resist the raw truth of that.
- for women who harness the storm.

It doesn't mean she never succumbs to doubt; she just never dwells therein.
For some she came in a dream. For others in words as clear as a bell: It is time, I am here. She may come in a whisper so loud she can deafen you or a shout so quiet you strain to hear. She may appear in the waves or the face of the moon, in a red goddess or a crow.Who is She?
She is your power, your Feminine source. Big Mama. The Goddess. The Great Mystery. The web-weaver. The life force. The first time, the twentieth time, you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight.But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.

Take risks! That is really what life is about. We must pursue our own happiness. Nobody has ever lived our life; there are no guidelines.
Trust your instincts. Accept nothing but the best. But then also look for it carefully. Don't allow it to slip between your fingers. Sometimes, good things come to us in a such a quiet fashion. And nothing comes complete. It is what we make of whatever we encounter, that determines the outcome. What we choose to see, what we choose to save. And what we choose to remember. Never forget that all the love in your life is there, inside you, always.

It doesn't mean she never feels old or ugly; she just never believes it's true!
You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.

It doesn't mean she never has need; she just never forgets her inner reserves.
Meanwhile, when you listen to your heart and connect with who you’re meant to become, you have energy because you’re in a state of flow, things happen more easily, opportunities land in your lap, you’re turned on, inspired, engulfed in a sea of brilliant ideas.

A Gamelia-woman always lives from a heart centered place of wholeness.
It doesn't mean she is never fragmented; she just never separates from soul.
Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything, yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts.
We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding. Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough. You can be both soft and intense. Both vulnerable and strong. Both traditional and rebellious. Both romantic and realistic. Both feminine and oceanic, yet filled with slow burning fire. There is possibility inside of paradox. There is a universe of different perceptions.― Victoria Erickson

Love Letter to Ahes

Goddess art by Tammy Wampler |
Beloved Goddess,
Symbolizing the abundance of the vast sea, gorgeous and wild, your beauty and the depth of your eyes mirror its courageous passion.
Ahes, how brave you are in your loveliness, fighting against the influential religious forces who try to turn you into some monstrous, frightening figure because you do not conform to their beliefs...
Perhaps, they are correct in fearing loss of their followers- those weary of shallow lies, those who would give up everything to drown in your fertile feminine depths and find their authentic voice, their true calling- truth and comfort in your wise, ancient ways.
Yes, your power is that great! Like that of a siren, your seductive soul song is hauntingly provocative, but also healing. Only, when you sing, those who hear are not doomed. But, offered solace, providence and blessings.
You call lost souls home.
Home within your loving embrace.
Please continue standing as a beckon of light: Guiding those lost and adrift at sea. those afraid in the darkness. Offering hope to all who struggle to stay afloat, unable to endure the storms of life.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Genetaska

Goddess art by unknown |
Beloved Goddess,
Your wisdom and kindness are known to all. Like a summer day, your beauty is radiant! And, as soft as the whispering summer winds, your gentle voice soothes all conflict.
Legend tells us that you were the last Peace Queen. Some say that you broke your vows for love.
How unfair it was to ask a young maiden to live all alone, deep in the forest, with the sole purpose of maintaining the peace. For years you welcomed all who came to you. Restoring unity and harmony to the people, you showed by example and wise counsel how to settle disputes fairly, how to live peacefully with one another, how to walk gently upon the earth. By law, they were bound by your decisions... Yet, they did not learn. Your task was an endless, exhausting one!
We do not blame you Genetaska; the law cannot ask the heart to stop beating, nor to keep a vow to forgo love.
To the Iroquois, you are the Mother of Nations! Yet, today, at the Crow Fair, all tribes (far and near -Aztec and Inuit, included) come together in your honor to celebrate the sacred traditions with respect and in peace. Your sacred medicine is not forgotten. Creatrix of human diversity, you show us that no matter our differences, we are forever one people.
Thank you for blessing me with an open heart; one pure and strong enough to hold peace within no matter what chaos swirls around me. May I always follow in your footsteps. May I always be a peacekeeper.
Teach us to not misjudge others, but to judge our own thoughts, words and actions with fairness, kindness and consideration toward all.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Al-Lat

Goddess art by Jo Jayson |
Beloved Goddess,
I stand before you. humble in devotion, quiet and adoring in dedication to the holiness of All. The vastness of the Universe is found in a single breath, and I am honored to be alive.
Lighting a candle upon the altar, I offer my awareness and vow to focus my consciousness upon my faith throughout my life, trusting that your Love will always guide and flow within me.
Spending a moon lit evening in meditation, seeking deeper meaning and insight into the sacred texts, the poetic soul songs, and the Mystery and Magick of the Divine written upon my skin and within the pages of my soul; I quiet my mind in the depths of belonging and hold you close- creating sacred space for you to forever abide.
Journaling, I write every observation that came through... every whisper of insight and hint of wisdom. Inspired by your pure and just presence, I contemplate the good deeds and positive actions I will take to embody your holy essence in the home where I abide - here on Earth and in the temple I am given.
Having gathered numerous white items, that, for me, represent your divine lunar energy (moonstone, coral, selenite and labradorite), I solemnly speak:
Within these stones of white,
Al-Lat place your protective light.
Wherever these are placed around,
your safety and presence shall ever abound.
Then, place them in every corner of my home. I love you. Be ever with me.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Beloved Goddess,
Lady of Heaven, the pure flowing force of the Universe, I bow before Thee.
Please flow through me.
Zoroastrian Moon Goddess, you shine upon the face of darkness and illuminate love in every corner.
Please shine your light upon the darkness of my life, within me... replace this loneliness with true love. Grant me a pleasurable and lasting union.
Water Goddess, your essence purifies all that is unclean, toxic and tainted with fear.
Please cleanse my holy temple, my body, mind, heart and soul, to make room for the divine blessings, the life-giving power, and all the beautiful things you have promised to me.
I have scrubbed the floors of my home with pine branches and evergreen oil to prepare my sacred space for your holy presence.
Please usher in your bountiful love.
I lit a white candle upon my altar.
I pray:
Lady of Purity, Lady of Light, be welcome in my home and heart and sight. Purify me so your honor, passion and love can flow unhindered in my body, in my mind and in my life. Lady of Purity, Lady of Light, be with me day and night.
Please wash and carry the darkness of this time away. Give me hope that my life will be full of love and joyful movement, again. Grant that I may equally give and receive love and pleasure again.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Inari
Blood red is your sacred hue. Goddess, the colour you imprinted upon me from birth, tainting my childhood with the lust for true love. Come to me, bringer of long life. Grant a love that will survive the grave, the lover who will be mine even beyond death.
Rice, my offering.
A fox spirit upon my altar, 9 tails - the tales of my life. Make the last one the best one!
Inari, sister of my soul. Your kindred spirit, bound with mine. Reveal your presence, I shall not fear the ghosts of loves enduring fate. I do not fear you.
I seek you.
… and ask:
Inari, be ever with me.
By this stone of red, let love be fed.
When at my side, let love there abide.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Xmucane
Beloved Goddess,
Of time, when the calculations and functions of calendars and sacred cycles merge with the unfolding of days, you, Prophetess, divine past and future as the ever present NOW.
This is where we always find one another- in the present moment. Only, I am not as adept as you in seeing the creative energy that makes up time. Only slowly beginning, learning to play with it, and shift and alter it from its fluid confines.
Grandmother, though you've taught me much about the concept of time- its illusionary aspects are still a mystery. How is it possible to bend and morph it into something others say it isn't and can't be? And, yet, it is! How can past and future merge simultaneously with the present? Most perplexing of all: No time. It's not even real! Simply a construct of the mind?
As the maker of the blue-green bowl, I am in awe of the wonder that is you! I look into your eyes and I am lost within myself. I gaze into the sky and find everything and nothing.
Light and darkness. Sun and moon. You!
Show me how to divine wisdom, that I may know the mysteries that dwell within me, of which I belong and am part of. Show me the way to be here, now- aware only of this present, ever unfolding moment.
Xmucane, did time really end in 2012 as the Mayan calendar said it would? Are we now living in a dream? Everything is so odd... nothing is as it was before. Are we just going through the motions of what we perceive as our reality, based on what once was? Simply following where we thought our future would go? Is there some form of divination that can reveal the mysteries of time? If so, please reveal them. I must know!
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Selu
Beloved Goddess,
Grandmother, when I was a girl, I was taught to honor and respect the three sisters: corn, beans and squash. They each show, by example, how to live in harmony with one another.
That same summer, I was called a pure heart. And, when I first heard the story of the corn mother, I learned what being a pure heart truly meant!
The Cherokee elders said you were young, and very beautiful. But not only beautiful on the outside; you were selfless- caring for others, and giving of yourself, which made you even more beautiful!
It is you who dwells as the spirit of corn.
And where corn is, the Corn-Mother is also. This thing they call corn, is I.
- Marilou Awiakta | SELU: Seeking the Corn Mother's Wisdom
I cried when I heard what happened! How your sons killed you because they feared your wise woman magick. Yet, you continued to give of yourself, even in death, so the people wouldn't starve! Selu, when your pure heart and spirit seeds are planted in the body of Mother Earth, and your love and sacred body fertilizes the soil, maize grows sweet and juicy; a sacred life giving sustenance and nourishment all year long!
Your love keeps us healthy and resilient!
The flower in my heart blossoms,
sweetness it brings in the night!
Our mother has loved.
The goddess of love
has scattered flowers of fragrance!
- prayer for maize
Selu, please continue to bless us with your abundant harvest and ensure every level of our growth. Help us to not fear the mysterious gifts of Spirit, of womankind. Help us to forgive others and be pure of heart.
Allow us to harvest abundance in our life; wealth that our daily needs may be met, and that we may show and share our love with others.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Wohpe
Beloved Goddess,
Tonight while I was stargazing alone beneath the indigo medicine blanket, I saw a shooting star race brightly across the sky. I instantly felt your presence and recognized your spirit one with mine.
May you feel my love and gratitude.
Thank you for holding me in your thoughts and prayers. I silently prayed for your safe journey. And, whispered, offering my wish for peace on earth; secretly trusting you would carry it to heaven on my behalf.
May we all know peace in this lifetime.
Thank you for teaching me to meditate. It always brings peace to my mind, body and spirit.
May we remember we are one!
Thank you for generating harmony and unity within my being, and for blessing me with the gift of inner peace.
May we share our peace with one another.
Thank you for measuring time and creating steady, visible cycles so I can perform sacred rituals in your honor, and in honor of all our relations.
May we be ever mindful of our thoughts and actions; living in harmony with Mother Earth and with respect for Great Mystery.
Thank you for gifting me love and pleasure. Each day and night, without fail, there is something to admire and be grateful for. Every day a new beginning- Every night a gentle rest. Please continue guiding my sacred path of beauty and strengthening my will to live with integrity.
May we be empowered to walk our talk for the highest good and well-being of all.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Auge
You are a constant source of inspiration and illumination. Though, after a lifetime of observing and mastering the wisdom of the flame, I still sense that you are far more than I am aware.
Even as an apprentice, learning the ancient arts of cooking, homemaking, purification, alchemy, passion, sexuality under your divine guidance and tutelage, I always knew there were secrets yet unrevealed. Even after all these years, as skilled as I am, I wonder what remains hidden. Maybe this year, you will show me?
When I was a little girl, grandmother told me to be ever mindful of fire.
Fire holds the power of the Goddess. She dwells within the flame; in fact, is fire, itself! Always remember that she sleeps within you!
And, child, be ever mindful of the fire that dwells within you... Be wise, so you don't get burned!
Her words have stayed with me always... even when I didn't understand what she meant. Like the fiery warmth of the ancient hearth whose magick is forever a mystery, so too, is your magick. Women hold your flame within.
The source of your power is unknowable. Your beauty symbolizes the divine, truth, light, wisdom, warmth, nourishment and protection for those who inhabit and seek comfort of home.
Unseen is your face. No one knows your name. Though we call you Auge. Odd, as it means "eye".
You are the unseen witness flickering in the flame; the ever present eye that watches over us all- both flesh and spirit. You are the divine fiery eye of the creative Universe; the eye of fire which was an ancient alchemical symbol of destruction. You are the sacred source of love, desire, power, strength and life force energy! The holy symbol of transformation- changing food into energy for our body, changing the spoken or written word into nourishment for our soul, ideas into actions, feelings into expression, dreams into reality, intentions into blessings.
Offering myself upon the altar of home... upon the hearth for purification, I give myself to you. Please refurbish my body, mind and spirit to better align with the holiness of my higher calling. Please transform me into the holy vessel of pure love.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly

Love Letter to Parvarti
You who are beloved of women, I need you! I need your wise counsel and gentle wisdom. I need your guidance. Please lead me into ritual that I may be cleansed of the past, that I may be purified to step into the new beginning I envision for myself. I received the henna soap you sent and I have been washing my hands and feet before morning sadhana just as you instructed me to do. The lingering scent of cardamom and vetiver leave my skin with a light spicy fragrance that reminds me of you! And, makes me feel beautiful, and somehow closer to you. Thank you!
After I post this letter, I'm going to draw a ritual bath and soak to cleanse away all the negativity and problems of the last two years!
I honor my femininity and fertility, but ask that you help me move my body - to experience what it is to be graceful and sensual again. Please teach me to dance, Parvarti- the way you do! With divine awareness and purposeful intent. I want to feel light and free, unencumbered by the worries of money and belonging. So, when I've finished my bath, I am going to wear something beautiful, something with flowers to bring your essence here, that I may embody you fully. Then, I'm going to turn on some Deva Premal music and dance as if I am dancing with you!
Please be with me, guide my motions.
Thank you.
-Yours devotedly
