Today's Goddess: Eurynome
United Nations Day (Various Locations) Themes: Unity; Peace; Balance
Symbol: Sacred Dancing
About Eurynome: This ancient Greek Goddess reached out to the chaos at the beginning of time, embraced it, and made order in the world. Through her sacred dance, the winds were born, from her womb came the land and stars, and then she created rulers for the poles (one male, one female) so that balance would forever be maintained.
To Do Today: On October 24, 1945, the peace-keeping United Nations was formally established in the orderly spirit of Eurynome to stress the need for understanding between people and the power of working for a unified cause.
To honor this occasion and uplift Eurynome's positive energies, gather today with any group that you work with regularly. Do something together that focuses on your power as a group to really make a difference in one another, your community, or the world.
To bring Eurynome's organization and balance into your home, take a small bowl filled with water and three drops of one male-oriented herbal oil (like cedar, clove, lavender, mint, or pine) and one female-oriented oil (like apple, coconut, jasmine, lemon, or vanilla). Put on some inspiring music, dance joyfully around your living space, and sprinkle this water as you go to draw Eurynome's blessing to you.
Eurynome
Eurynome dances into your life to tell you it is time for ecstasy.
Ecstasy is here for you in all its fullness, exuberance, and rapture. How can you give yourself ecstasy, that deeply nourishing intensely joyful place? One way is by healing the wounded parts of yourself. Your wounded parts take up emotional space within you.
Once healed, the space they previously occupied becomes available for ecstasy. The more space within, the more room for ecstasy. Another road to ecstasy is to open to it.
To give yourself permission to call it in, feel it, and revel in it.
For those of us who have experienced little joy in our lives, the conscious decision to court, seduce, and entice ecstasy ensures it will come.
Eurynome says that when you make the decision to dance with ecstasy, all life challenges you with the opportunities to facilitate that dance.
