Exploring The Goddess Path – Artemis

2/24/2014

I have recently read the book: The Goddess Path by Patricia Monaghan. This is a book that was designed to help the reader to help nurture your own connection to the goddess and to share in her wisdom. Within each chapter that is dedicated to a specific goddess there is history about the goddess, myths involving the goddess, invocations for the goddess, ritual suggestions and questions to aid the reader with exploring their relationship with her.

There will be a few blog posts with my personal responses to some of the questions found in each chapter of this book. I urge you to follow along with me as we experience the Goddess within.

The ninth chapter is about Artemis and you can find the questions I will be answering in this post on pages 134 – 135 of the book.

A Visit With Sophia

I often went into meditation while I received traction treatments at the chiropractor and I would have success and attain insight and knowledge while doing so. I frequently used The World Tree Meditation; this particular visit was no different.

Once I exited the tunnel and entered the other realm my friend and spirit ally, the buck, greeted me. I asked him if he had a name and he responded however I had difficulty discerning what he told me at that time. We walked together through the forest along a familiar path, he just one step ahead of me. The forest began to thin out as we entered a beautiful and peaceful meadow. I questioned my animal ally as to why we were there though when I

On Tuesday, January 31st, I had some errands to do (drop my husband off at work, a chiropractor appointment, post office, and grocery shopping) but my children did not want to come with me and because they are old enough, my son is sixteen, my daughter eleven, I left them home while I did what had to be done. I had made arrangements the night before with my son to be awake when I came home with the groceries so he could help me carry them in from the car and put them away. I explained that I would call him before I left the grocery store to be sure he was awake and dressed since if left alone he could sleep until noon or later. He agreed.

Well, when I was done I called him from the parking lot of Stop & Shop only to have the call go to his voice mail. Twice. I was annoyed and preceded to drive home. I tried to ease my frustration by listening to the music I had playing in the car. I enjoyed the song: Justin Timberlake – What Goes Around.

The Elf on The Shelf

The Elf on the Shelf is one of the hottest and most discussed seasonal phenomenon that I’ve witnessed in years. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t know what Elf on the Shelf is and how it’s supposed to work. But just in case you may be one of those few who are not in ‘the know’ I’ll give you a quick summary.

Once a family adopts an Elf, reads the story of The Elf on the Shelf and names their pixie he will receive his Christmas magic. It is vital to note that the elf cannot be touched or he will lose this magic. Beginning around Thanksgiving the Elf watches everything that goes on in the home during the day and at night uses his magical powers to fly back to the North Pole to report back to Santa what he witnessed in the home. This will ensure that Santa will know who behaved and is to be put on the Nice List or who didn’t which will put the child on the Naughty List. Before the family awakes each morning, their elf will fly back to their home positioning himself in a different spot since these elves like to play games. On Christmas Eve, the scout elf will listen for Santa’s bell and then fly back to the North Pole until the next season.

It is my belief that children need to be taught spirituality and which path is taught is usually the path that the parents follow. So, if you are Wiccan then you teach Wicca, if you are Christian then you teach Christianity. Does this mean that other religions or spiritual paths should be ignored? No. What it means is that you raise your children with the idea that there is something, a Divine Source from which all things flow, that there is a connection that binds all living beings and as that child matures you may then open the door to other paths so that the adolescent can experience other forms of spirituality and choose his/her path for his or herself. Children should understand that there are religions and spiritual paths that are different from their own however I believe that they first need to establish a foundation and ...
