Divine Feminine Ritual To Kali: The 4 Fierce Elements

“The 4 Fierce Elements”

Kali is the Hindu goddess (or Devi) of death, time, and doomsday and is often associated with sexuality and violence but is also considered a strong mother-figure and symbolic of motherly-love. She removes the ego and liberates the soul from the cycle of birth and death.

The Ritual:
Result of performing this ritual: Space, clarity and capacity to create powerfully and in a balanced way.
Inside each of us is a fierce part that wants to be expressed. That fierce part is about truth and clear everything that is no longer useful away so you can feel the balance and capacity to create inside of you.

Kali is bold. She is powerful. She is within you waiting to be awoken and activated. Call upon her when you need to get back into your power, courage and confidence and feel your raw sense of self. Kali will help you honor yourself and truth for the highest good.

This ritual will help you invoke her energy through the 4 fierce elements earth, wind, water, and fire of release and clearing.

What you’ll need:
• A safe, uninterrupted place
• A bell• A bowl of water
• A candle
• A rock (I use my volcano rocks)

Step ONE: Fire Feel the intensity of fire to burn away your limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you. Allow that lava to clear your body temple of anything that no longer belongs to you and is standing in the way of your life mission.

Step TWO: Water Feel a tidal wave is flooding your body and washing away all the beliefs that have been infiltrated inside of you and they never belonged to you. Allow the flood to go from head to toe and clean and clear and harmonize your body.

Step THREE: Air Imagine a tornado enter your body and allow this tornado that is standing in the way of your highest good. Any outer voices or even images. Allow the tornado to destroy it all.

Step FOUR: Earth Ground yourself into the earth. Take your rock and hold it into your hand and allow that grounding quality of earth to infiltrate and saturate your body.

Step FIVE: Feel your capacity and space inside of yourself to create.

Today On Mother’s Day, We Celebrate The Pagan Mother Goddesses

Asasa Ya (Ashanti)

This earth mother goddess prepares to bring forth new life in the spring, and the Ashanti people honor her at the festival of Durbar, alongside Nyame, the sky god who brings rain to the fields.

 

Asase Ya (or Asase Yaa, Asaase Yaa, Asaase Afua; is the Earth goddess of fertility of the Ashanti people ethnic groupof Ashanti City-State of Ghana. She is also known as Mother Earth or Aberewaa.

Asase Yaa is the wife of Nyame the Sky deity, who created the universe. Asase Yaa gave birth to the two children, Bea and Tano. Bea is also named Bia.

Asase Yaa is also the mother of Anansi, the trickster, and divine stepmother of the sacred high chiefs.

Asase Yaa is very powerful, though no temples are dedicated to her, instead she is worshipped in the agricultural fields of Ashanti City-State.

Asase Yaa’s favoured Ashanti people are occupationally Ashanti workers in the agricultural fields and planet Jupiter is her symbol.

Asase Yaa Worship

The Ashanti people of Ashanti City-State regard Asase Ya as Mother Earth, the earth goddess of fertility, the upholder of truth, and the creator Goddess who comes to fetch Ashanti people’s souls to the otherworld (Planet Jupiter) at the time of death.  She is credited as being the nurturer of the earth and is considered to provide sustenance for all. When a member of the Ashanti people ethnic group wants to prove his (or her) credibility, he (or her) touches his (or her) lips to the soil of Ashanti City-State and recites the Asase Ya Prayer-Poem. Another tradition holds that because Thursday is reserved as Asase Ya’s day, the Ashanti people generally abstain from tilling the land of Ashanti City-State on that day.

The Abosom in the Americas (Jamaica)

Worship of the Asase Ya goddess was transported via the transatlantic slave trade and was documented to had been acknowledged by enslaved Akan or Coromantee living in Jamaica. Jamaican slave owners did not believe in Christianity for the Coromantee and left them to their own beliefs. Hence an Ashanti spiritual system was dominant on the plantation. According to Jamaican historian and slave owner Edward Long, creole descendants of the Ashanti coupled with other newly arrived Coromantee joined in observation and worship of the Ashanti goddess Asase Yaa (the English people recorded erroneously as ‘Assarci’). They showed their worship by pouring libations and offering up harvested foods. Other Ashanti Abosom were also reported to be worshipped. This was the only deity spiritual system on the island, as other deities identities in the 18th century was obliterated because of the large population of enslaved Coromantee in Jamaica, according to Edward Long and other historians who observed their slaves.

It’s Mother’s Day 2019, Time to Show Mom Some Love Today! Happy Mother’s Day To All of The WOTC’s Moms!

MOTHER´S DAY . . . .by Piedad5007

Never Enough

Sometimes I know the words to say to give thanks for all you’ve done,
but then they fly up and away as quickly as they come.

How could I possibly thank you enough, the one who makes me whole,
the one to whom I owe my life, the forming of my soul?

The one who tucked me in at night, the one who stopped my crying,
the one who was the expert at picking up when I was lying.

The one who saw me off to school and spent sad days alone,
yet magically produced a smile as soon as I came home.

The one who makes such sacrifices to always put me first,
who lets me test my broken wings, in spite of how it hurts.

Who paints the world a rainbow when it’s filled with broken dreams,
who explains it all so clearly when nothing is what it seems.

Are there really any words for this? I find this question tough.
Anything I want to say just doesn’t seem enough.

What way is there to thank you for your heart, your sweat, your tears,
for ten thousand things you’ve done for oh so many years.

For changing with me as I changed, accepting all my flaws,
not loving ’cause you had to, but loving just because.

For never giving up on me when your wits had reached its end,
for always being proud of me, for being my best friend.

And so I come to realize, the only way to say,
the only thank you that’s enough is clear in just one way.

Look at me before you see what I’ve become.
Do you see yourself in me, the job that you have done?

All your hopes and all your dreams, the strength that no one sees,
a transfer over many years, your best was to pass me.

Thank you for the gifts you give, for everything you do,
but thank you, Mommy, most of all for making dreams come true.

In Case You Are Wondering What Is Going On

I had a follow-up check up with a doctor yesterday and I have to go back Thursday for a treatment on my hip. Since the doctors are taking up so much of my time, I had to take the day off. As I mentioned a few days ago, our property is due to be put on the auction block the 15th of this month. I am not going to let that happen. Today, I am looking online for a loan that will cover our tax bill. I know you hate to hear about our problems but with every thing that has happened in the past few months, I have no other options.

I hope you can understand. If we have no building, we have no place to work out of. So it is very important that I obtain a loan for us today. We will be back with you tomorrow. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience but somethings are more than important than other. Till then….

Love ya,

Lady A

Your Ogham Reading for May 3

Your Ogham Reading for May 3

 

Onn-Gorse

While it also may have thorns, Gorse is known for a vibrant yellow flower that can last almost year round. For this reason this plant has become a symbol of vitality. It may be hardy and have some thorns but it protects wildlife and shines bright for everyone to see. When you draw this letter keep in mind optimism, positivity, and vigor. With Onn you will prevail as long as you keep your flower in bloom!

Fortune – This Ogham tells you that you will prevail! Stay happy and optimistic and everything you seek will turn out great!

 

 

 

Ura-Heather

The beauty of heather flowers is one reason it is associated with the Irish Goddess of love, fertility, and new growth. Be happy when you draw this letter because it denotes love, companionship, and passion. Whether it will be a new love or an old love rekindled, Ura is a powerful symbol and one that may bring great luck in your love life.

Fortune – This Ogham deals in matters of Love. Whether it is new love or rekindling of old love, enjoy the peace and love that comes with Ura!

 

 

 

Edhadh-Aspen

Aspens grow in large colonies, with the root system potentially up to 10,000’s of years old. This tree can survive fires and other harmful conditions. Often this letter can be associated with death and the fear that comes from it. However it is better to see it for what the aspen really is. When one dies another aspen grows from the same root system. Death is not always a negative aspect of life; sometimes it is a necessary transition. The letter Edhadh will force us to look inward for what we need to “let die,” so we can renew ourselves.

Fortune – A large part of your life will be gone, yet do not worry because another great part will stop. Edhadh never closes one door without opening another!

Today’s Witches Rune

The Eye

Meaning: The eye has always been a powerful symbol for different cultures. Some believe that the soul resides in them, while others think it’s possible to curse a person merely by looking at them. Through our eyes we connect and express emotions and thoughts. Thus, this is one of the most powerful runes in the set, emphasizing the importance of any rune close to it. The Eye symbol is also related to “vision” is all senses, including the physical. This rune can represent our eyes and optic nerves. It can also represent activities such as research, analysis, photography and creative visualization. When it appears, there’s an urge to observe, to explore, to understand deeply what is before you. This rune is usually related to sudden realizations. Not necessarily a ‘shock’ (unless some violent rune is close it, like the Scythe and the Man), but more related to the lifting of veils. Your eyes are suddenly open, and you see things that were unknown to you before. A change of perception and focus in life is to be expected when this rune appears… whatever the situation is, the way you see it will be transformed.

The Eye rune also says that now it’s time for you to go after what you want. Your focus is powerful right now, and everything you concentrate on can become successful.This rune often represents a lonely journey towards a goal… it suggests a calling and a connection to something bigger, a sense of purpose. Your path is clear to you now; you know which way to go, even if you don’t know where exactly it’ll take you. In a spiritual level, This rune can represent a development of one’s psychic skills, or an advancement in one’s spiritual path. As you connect yourself to a deeper source, and learn to trust, you gain wisdom and your eyes see far. A higher power seems to be guiding you in times when the Eye appears. Like the Sun rune, this rune can mean that right now all eyes are on you. But unlike the former symbol, when the Eye appears there’s some discomfort related to such attention. It may be excessive and even unwelcome. In fact, this is one of this rune’s most negative facets: it may show an invasion of privacy, when someone (or even you) pry into another’s life and scrutinize their every move. Beware of flatterers and stalkers. The Eye cautions against obsession and the tendency to spy on other people’s affairs. In a relationship reading, the Eye can symbolize a predestined bond to another person.

Note that this does not promise a happy ending, but simply says that this connection is powerful and will be very important in your life. In fact, because the Eye rune is a solitary one, it is possible that the people in the relationship cannot be together due to difficult circumstances. Still, your bond that person will transform you. In a negative way, this rune can cautions against invading your partner’s personal space or stalking them.

The Pope

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keywords: teaching, school, blessing, ritual, marriage, acting!

Astrological Correspondence: Taurus

As a priest, the Pope, or Hierophant, represents traditional values and moral development. He is the wise teacher or counselor guiding groups or collectives on their path in search for spiritual truth or meaning. Depicted as a religious figure in ceremonial vestments he interprets secret mysteries, divine law, and theological doctrine. Although this card implies that he is linked to the church, the Pope signifies not only organized religion but also focus on groups in general, such as schools, teams, companies – any group with fixed roles and assigned responsibilities. The Pope is a symbol for rules, procedures, structure, and ritual, creating harmony within groups and staying their course so they can find identity and progress as a whole. The negative imagery symbolizes dogmatism and inflexibility, extreme conformity, or conventionalism.

The Emperor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today is perfection, in a good way. Why? Today represents someone’s advancement and growth in the ability to love. Someone, perhaps even the two people you are one-half of, grasps the realization that love is friendship intensified. If you’re dating and you want love, it is yours. The trick is to avoid being swept off your feet. Instead, grasp the idea of slowing down, knowing that time is on your side.

The Pope

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Pope represents pure masculine energy, and even if you’re female you’re going to be identifying more with your male counterparts today. The Pope shows you that coming to terms with past mistakes and taking responsibility for them in the present eases sexual tension, so let go of the past to free yourself from your inhibitions. You actually have quite the skill set when it comes to making sexual moves, but waiting until the time is right before taking the plunge can be a real turn-on. Let the anticipation build until you can’t take it anymore!

 

 

The Daily Past Life Tarot Card for Friday, May 3rd

The Sun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes numbers fill your head and although you do the math, the equations just keep coming. This could be a sign that in a past life you were an economist. You might not understand it exactly, but there is just something in your genes that has always attracted you to numbers. Your past life as an economist is probably still on the treadmill of reincarnation. You follow numbers through the journey of your many lives, finding solutions that create new numerical questions.

Get A Jump on Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Saturday, May 4th

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The New Moon is in Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today’s New Moon is the perfect time to think about money. How well do you handle your money and possessions? What is your attitude to money? If you think money is the root of all evil – you won’t hold on to it, will you?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the New Moon is in your sign, which means it’s a perfect time to take a realistic look in the mirror to assess the image you create on your world. How does it stack up? What can you do to create a better impression?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The New Moon is in a hidden part of your chart today, which means it is appropriate to think about quiet, private activities that will promote your well-being. Perhaps you can explore meditation, yoga, or moments of solitude to calm your mind?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The New Moon today takes place in your House of Friendships. Are you happy your friends? Your friends are a reflection of who you are. Do you hang out with quality people? If you want to have more friends – be friendly!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the only New Moon all year that’s at the top of your chart is taking place. This is a most appropriate day to think about your life direction in general. How do you want to use the time that is left to you for your greatest benefit? Gotta plan, Stan?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today’s New Moon urges you to think of what training, education, courses of study or any kind of learning might benefit your job or enhance and enrich your life. What do you want to learn? Perhaps, you can enrich your life through travel?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The placement of today’s New Moon is in one of your money houses, specifically the house that deals with other people’s money, including banks. How much do you owe on your credit cards? Is the posse after you? If you have property, do you have a will? Think about this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the only New Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place, which is a wonderful opportunity! It’s your chance to give serious thought to what you can do to improve your closest relationships. In a successful partnership, you are as good for your partner as he or she is for you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

What can you do to improve your health? And what can you do to improve your job? These are two areas where you can make great strides today because of the New Moon. Think of a few things that you could do that will make your life better.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Just as we can be proud of our accomplishments at work, we must also value our creativity even if no one else notices. Children are creative but somehow, adults seem to forget this part of themselves – but it’s an important part! Do you value your creative side?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The New Moon today is perhaps the best day of the year to think about what you can do to improve your home, and also what you can do to improve your family relationships. Obviously, there are many possibilities! Can you think of three?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

We are social creatures. We need to see others and we also need to be seen. What can you do to improve your daily communications with everyday contacts and relatives? Most of us can improve our communications by genuinely listening to others.

How Each Zodiac Sign Keeps Secrets

How Each Zodiac Sign Keeps Secrets

Which Sun signs are best at keeping things confidential?

Simone Butler

By Simone Butler
Astrology, Zodiac

Your company is about to lay off someone you’ve become friendly with, and you’ve been asked to keep silent about it. Do you hold your tongue (as a dutiful Capricorn probably would), or give the person fair warning (as a tenderhearted Cancer might)? A friend confides that she has inherited a great deal of money and begs you not to tell anyone. A Gemini and a Scorpio would likely have two very different responses.

Check your zodiac sign to see how good — or bad — you are at keeping secrets:

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

You don’t think twice about telling others your own secrets, Aries. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t keep theirs. You’d rather not be burdened with info you can’t share, lest a slip of your tongue let the cat out of the bag. You find it especially hard to keep good news — like a friend’s engagement — a secret. On the other hand, bad news — like a confession that someone cheated on the job — may be easier for you to hold in confidence.

 

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

It’s painful for you to keep secrets, as you prize honesty above all else. But if someone tells you something in confidence, you will not repeat it. You’re slow to share your own dark secrets, so you respect others’ privacy, too. Surprise birthday parties are a piece of cake for you to keep under wraps. Stickier ethical dilemmas, like whether or not to share a friend’s secret confession about spousal abuse, could keep you up at night, though.

 

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

You’re the least likely to honor others’ secrets, as you prefer everything out in the open. When a juicy bit of gossip lands in your lap, it usually doesn’t stay there for long. You don’t really think of it as gossiping … just sharing info. And keeping others informed is your mission in life. If sworn to secrecy, you can stay mum on life-or-death issues. But since it goes against all your instincts, you’d actually rather not be told at all.

 

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

Being upfront does not come naturally to you, but at the same time, holding things inside can give you an ulcer. So, you may end up blurting out your true feelings about a person or situation, adding, “But please don’t tell anyone” for fear of retaliation. Though you’d have a hard time keeping a secret if it adversely affected someone you’re fond of, you’d delight in keeping your sister’s pregnancy under wraps, since it bonds you closer.

 

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)

You are excellent at keeping secrets, Leo. In fact, the bigger the secret, the better you are at protecting it. It makes you feel important to be in on privileged info, and you take the responsibility seriously. Because your word is important to you, you don’t give it lightly. But if you like and trust someone, you’re inclined to keep their confidences — unless, of course, another person’s safety or matters of national security are at stake.

 

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Since your natural modesty prevents you from blabbing your own dark secrets, you consider it your duty to honor others’. You likely would never agree to keep secrets concerning illicit activities. But if it’s a private matter, such as a baby born out of wedlock and secretly given up for adoption, you’d respect the mother’s request to not tell anyone. And once you give your word, you will do everything in your power to keep it.

 

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

You’re quite open about yourself, as you believe in the philosophy of “share and share alike.” But you learned the hard way to honor your friends’ secrets, especially those of the romantic variety, which they often confide in you, the “love expert.” You’re unlikely to reveal professional secrets, as you’ve found they can also bite you in the butt. You confide a lot in your spouse, however, so your trustworthiness may depend on theirs!

 

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

You’re as silent as the grave with your own private matters, Scorpio. But you really don’t like to keep others’ secrets, because you figure if it’s a secret, then the teller needs to keep it — not you! You would probably refuse if something violated your morals, like an affair. As you become more open to those around you, you’ll be asked less often to hide things for others. You likely have many personal secrets, though.

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

You’re good at keeping your own secrets, Sagittarius. But you tend to spill others’ private info in the interest of telling a good story. When friends share a secret with you, they need to stress the importance of confidentiality to ensure you don’t forget (and even remind you again later). The more important it is to someone that you keep the secret, the better you are at doing so … but some things you may be better off not knowing.

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

In your youth, you may have had a tendency to leak others’ secrets as a way to counteract your natural introversion and feel more popular. But as you matured, you quickly realized that your reputation depended on keeping others’ confidences. And your reputation is everything to you. When it comes to business matters, your lips are sealed — you’ll likely protect the company’s interests over those of an individual.

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Your natural emotional reserve and tendency to withhold your own secrets make protecting others’ private matters fairly easy. It takes a lot of soul-searching before you’ll breach a personal confidence, and only then if you feel its revelation could resolve a crisis. At work, if the secret is creating problems of some kind or jeopardizing your job, you might disclose just enough to remedy the situation.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)

You are a master at keeping secrets, Pisces — in fact, you’re capable of hiding whole aspects of your life. But you also love to help people, and therefore when a friend confides in you, you may end up sharing their story as a “teaching tool” for someone else who’s facing a similar situation. Though you’re scrupulous about not naming names, take care that the distinctive details stand no chance of incriminating the person in question.
