The Beginning 2022, DMalmos 01/16/2022 (Paint Pens & Digital After-effects) • https://jaguarspirit.com/2022/01/17/3-jaguar-ix-humans-road-to-destiny-day-3-of-13-4/#more-43018 • https://t.me/EuphonicIntuitive/713
Sekhmet represents the sacred rage that keeps us protected and reminds the world of the pure strength of female power. Sekhmet is an Egyptian warrior goddess depicted with the head of a lioness and the body of a woman. The lion was considered the fiercest hunter in Egypt and a sign of protection. She is the daughter of the sun god Ra. The red solar disk that she wears indicates that she is a solar deity. She is known as The Powerful One, The Red Lady, She Who Mauls, and The One Before Whom Evil Trembles.
The ancient Egyptians held rituals at the end of war and at the beginning of each New Year to tame the wrath of Sekhmet. They would play music, drink beer that was stained with pomegranate juice, and dress all of the Sekhmet statues in red. It was believed that the inebriation would lull the goddess into a stupor and end her destruction.
Sekhmet was a powerful guardian and protector of the Pharaoh. She was called on during times of war and considered to be a goddess of divine retribution.
When your soul selects her card:
Holy rage, sacred anger, and positive aggression– these states of being are crucial aspects of the divine feminine. It’s the female power that ends wars, that brings home missing children, that seeks justice for the earth and for those who can’t defend themselves. The brilliant artist and mystic William Blake relates that, “The voice of honest
indignation is the voice of God.” The feminine has for too long been disassociated from rage and anger. If we can’t embody the fiery emotion of anger, it often festers or expresses itself in subversive, manipulative ways. Or it leaves us anxious, and frustrated. Positive aggression, acting with love on behalf of what breaks our heart or enrages us, is
what allows us to become agents of change to better our lives and the world around us. Sekhmet wants us to come face to face with our true strength. Power doesn’t come from passive aggressive behaviors. We don’t have to fear expressing our anger directly to an institution or a person that is acting unjustly. Sekhmet wants us to see that anger is an essential emotion.
And Sekhmet is the sacred call to move that anger from pure emotion into conscious action. She wants us to act with conviction and from love. She wants us to create the healthy boundaries we need so we aren’t injured again and again. Or so that we can free ourselves from a destructive pattern it’s time to end. We have a divine right to draw a sacred circle around us at all times. The protection we invoke for ourselves helps move us from feeling helpless to taking loving action. “

"Way of the Mishkan: Southern Threshold: Tree of Life
Tuesday Feb. 8, 6 - 7pm PST
Join Rabbi Lynn to explore meaning of Menorah & Sacred Tree in ancient & contemporary Jewish life.
On south side of the Mishkan stands the 7 branch menorah symbolizing ‘the tree of life’. Long ago, special trees were designated as ‘tree of life’ sites where our ancestors gathered to share & distribute harvest, make ceremony, seek elder wisdom, forge treaties, tend sacred fires & observe Shabbat as a day of restful regeneration in behalf of all who labor. The menorah symbolizes the ancient intersection of these practices in pursuit of human dignity and earth stewardship. All sessions include an act of reparations teshuvah for ongoing harms of systemic violence related to each class. Everyone welcome. Registration via PayPal.me/rabbilynn
Suggested donation $36 to help support my work. Pls reach out with concerns or questions." https://facebook.com/548477078/posts/10161178895222079/ • https://t.me/JewishAncestor/734

"In the Gnostic myth of how the world works, Sophia, the feminine personification of wisdom, lives happily with spirits of light in the unified limitless potential of her Father’s radiance, created by the twin powers of Depth and Silence.
She’s so dizzy with love for the Creative Source that when she sees a brilliant shimmering light below, she flings herself down into the darkness, mistakenly following what she believes to be her Father’s radiance, fooled by a mere reflection. There, in the abysmal unrealized potential of the world, she is trapped – separated from the light, the spiritual realization of Gnosis – the knowledge of transcendent unity.
There, the powers of the underworld have their way with her, using, abusing, and exploiting her. But Sophia remains present, and in her resurgent power she brings great beauty and spiritual potential to the earthly realm and its inhabitants.
Witnessing the irresponsible creation of the world, Sophia conceals Consciousness in the body of the demiurge’s first man, “Adam,” and then brings it forth into the world as “Eve.”
Finally, Sophia breaks free and ascends back up to the true light of life, raising humanity with her ever so slightly. But she refuses to abandon the world of humans, and so divides herself, keeping a part below, ever present and available for the enlightenment of all.
She is Shakti in Sanskrit, the powerful Hindu personification of feminine wisdom, and the personal and collective linking soul as atman, realized in the transcendent state of samadhi (Gnosis). She is the compassionate boddhisatva (Avalokiteshvara) in Buddhism, returning to light the path to nirvana (Gnosis); personified by the deity Guanyin. She is both Mother Mary, in her ascendant form, and Mary Magdalene, as the earthly companion of the Christ potential in Christian Gnosticism. In Jungian psychology, she is the unifying power of both the feminine and masculine archetypes, anima and animus. She is the Sophia of wisdom, the Maria of compassion, the Persephone of destruction, compelling Necessity and Fate, and the Muse."

The inspiration for creating Akhilanda shares its roots with the Japanese art of Kintsugi (金継ぎ, which means “golden joinery"), which is employed to repair broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with gold. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. Akhilanda - the Goddess whose name means “never not broken” - derives her power from being pulled apart, and coming back together again. In this portrayal, her cracks reveal fissures of light representing that love that guides us all, while allowing us to break in order for us to be fused back together again in an even more beautiful, more divinely human form.

"It is dark. With winter, and literally early in the morning as I write this. And there seems to be a caul over the earth, a veil of sorts, spiritually as well. We are in the liminal, in the in-between times. And as easy as it is to feel enveloped or overwhelmed by this darkness, do not forget to remember that within you radiates the intense fire of Love, of sacred mystery, of divinity, and of everything that you are in essence and were created for. For some of you, it may not feel like it, which is what Imbolc is for.
I have never felt more ready for Spring, and I mentioned as much to a sister today that it felt like winter all year last year. Some years are blooming years, others are more repose. I am planning on holding an Imbolc ceremony this year to welcome its first signs already. Imbolc marks the beginning of the beginning of Spring as it is that halfway point between winter and the vernal equinox, when the earth in Her deep begins to stir. Even writing those words gives me a buoyance and a hope I've felt disconnected from. It marks the beginning of the spring sowing, and the blooming of blackthorn. Traditionally, you might make a corn husk doll as a representation of Brighid, or a little bed for her to welcome her in. I personally always leave a mantle or scarf out for her to bless for the coming year, but I digress.
Imbolc is the perfect passageway to remind you to look for the signs. I'll go farther and say it is to remind you to remember to look. We don't always - sometimes our spiritual bones stiffen, and we forget that we are but in a season as opposed to some permanent condition. I plan to take a moment that day to still myself and just feel those little bits of waking life, aligning myself to that energy as well.
What matters most is that it is time to return to your radiance, time to begin to bloom again. Time to center and reflect with such gratitude that life and light is returning again.
Time to remember who and what you really are. "
