Mermaid Paradise

Gift from the Chi

"All the Great Mothers are born
from the primeval ocean or the watery abyss,
the primordial womb of life from which all
created forms emerge: the ideogram for the
Sumerian goddess Nammu was the sea;
Isis was 'born from all-wetness';
Hathor is 'the watery abyss of heaven';
Nut, the sky goddess, lets fall her milk as rain;
Aphrodite is born from the foam of the sea.
The brightly painted 'mermaids', flinging their
arms and hair to the winds of every quarter on
the prows of ships, may be a folk remnant
of this inheritance."
Anne Baring & Jules Cashford, The Myth of the Goddess (Mary as the Great Mother Goddess).

About theTotal Eclipse of the Sun: August 1st

An "eclipse of the sun" is a
misnomer for the celestial event
it attempts to describe, seeming
to suggest that the sun is somehow
"closed out."
However, the sun is not really 'lost'
during an eclipse.
It is still in its assigned place in the
sky, but it is bought into a visible
conjunction with its Sister-Bride,
the moon.
An eclipse is a symbol in the heaven...
however brief!....for the "Sacred Marriage.".....
the symbol of the intimate partnership of
the masculine and feminine energies.....the
yin and the yang...hieros gamous in the heavens.
Perhaps it is this conjunctio of the celestial
bodies.....that help us to intuit the need to
restore the feminine to a place of honor
in the Christian paradigm.
