| First I pray to Gaia, earth herself, primal prophetess, the one who seeks the hidden truths; then I call upon earth's daughter Themis, for justice sits upon her mother's throne; these names are the vestibule of prayer for me, the entry to the sacred realm. Then I call upon Athena, for I will need her wisdom; and the Muses, for I need their eloquence. Divine women, all of them, I invoke them as I rise into my strength and power. ~Greek Dramarist Aeschylus Each day has its own challenges as well as its own potential treasures. As we rise to meet those challenges, to gather those treasures, we need to call upon the varying strengths within ourselves. The power of goddesses is within us, waiting for us to call upon it. Daily invocations to the goddess have been part of many traditions. Invoking the feminine force in the universe, we call forth as well the inner feminine, the strength and power within us that corresponds to universal energy. Even when we forget to invoke the Goddess, she remains a force in both the outer and inner world. She exists in our hearts as well as in the heart of nature. We drink from the source of her power. Her energy flows through our bodies, through our lives. As we praise her, let us praise ourselves. By Patricia Monaghan |
