GODDESS OF THE DAY: HERA DAEDALA (GREECE)
POSTED BY: "CHER CHIRICHELLO" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM CHIC0411
Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:10 pm (PST)
Goddess of The Day: HERA
Daedala (Greece)
Themes: Love; Romance; Forgiveness; Humor
Symbols: Oak; Myrrh; Poppy
About Hera: Hera rules
the earth, its people, and the hearts of those people. Using passion and creativity, Hera nudges star-crossed lovers together, chaperones
trysts, and helps struggling marriages with a case of spring
twitterpation!
Legend tells us that
Hera refused to return to Zeus's bed because of a quarrel. Zeus,
however, had a plan. He humorously dressed up a wooden figure to look
like a bride and declared he was going to marry. When Hera tore off the
dummy's clothes and discovered the ruse, she was so amused and impressed by Zeus's ingenuity that she forgave him.
To Do Today: Ancient
Greeks honored Hera and Zeus's reconciliation today, often in the
company of old oak trees. Small pieces of fallen wood are collected to
symbolize the divinities, then burned on the ritual fire to keep love
warm. To mirror this custom, find a fallen branch and burn a small part
of it as an offering to Hera. Keep the rest to use as a goddess image
year-round, burning a few slivers whenever love needs encouragement.
Present someone you
love or admire with a poppy today to symbolically bestow Hera's
blessings on your relationship. If you have a loved one away from home,
burn some myrrh incense in front of their picture so Hera can watch over them and keep that connection strong.

SCANDINAVIAN SONG TO THE GODDESS OF SPRING
POSTED BY: "CHER CHIRICHELLO" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM CHIC0411
Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:12 pm (PST)
In fall Freya left us
traveling southward.
Now she returns again,
bringing soft words.
Out of her golden hair
spring flowers fall
tumbling like melodies,
sounding the call.
Chaste through the winter
women now pine,
wanting their lovers home
sharing the wine.
~Scandinavian Song To The Goddess Of Spring
In northern lands, the
spring Goddess was embodied by the sun. During the winter, she retreated southward, so that by midwinter she rose only briefly each day, setting hastily and leaving the lands in cold and dark. But as spring
approaches, she stays longer and longer each day, shedding warmth on her people. As the equinox nears, bringing balance between light and dark,
the sun brings back growth and seasonal change.
The ancient
Scandinavians recognized that the human reaction to increasing daylight
was return of interest in connecting with others - through lust as well
as through love. They acknowledged, as did many other people, the way
the sap rises in our bodies as well as in the trees and plants around
us. Celebrating the fruitfulness of our womanly bodies is a way to
celebrate the Goddess. And at no time is her energy stronger than in
early spring.

DAILYOM: AS THE EARTH ALLOWS THE RAIN

As the Earth Allows the Rain
Sitting with Feelings
Taking the time now to sit with your feelings and acknowledge them will save you much distress down the road.
It can take great courage to really sit with our feelings, allowing ourselves to surrender to their powerful energies. All too often we set our feelings aside, thinking we will deal with them later. If we don^at deal with them, we end up storing them in our minds and bodies and this is when anxiety and other health issues can arise. Denying what our bodies want to feel can lead to trouble now or down the line, which is why being in the thick of our feelings, no matter how scary it seems, is really the best thing we can do for ourselves.
One of the reasons we tend to hide or push aside our feelings is that we live in a culture that has not traditionally supported emotional awareness. However, as the connection between mind and body--our emotions and our physical health-- becomes clearer, awareness of the importance of feeling our feelings has grown. There are many books, classes, workshops and retreats that can help us on our way to emotional intelligence. We can also trust in our own ability to process what comes up when it comes up. If sadness arises, we can notice its presence and welcome it, noting where in our bodies we feel it, and allowing ourselves to express it through tears or a quiet turning inward.
When we simply allow ourselves to fully feel our feelings as they come, we tend to let them go easily. This is all we are required to do; our feelings simply want to be felt. We often complicate the situation by applying mental energy in the form of analysis, when all we really need is to allow, as the earth allows the rain to fall upon it. As the rain falls, the earth responds in a multitude of ways, sometimes emptying out to form a great canyon, sometimes soaking it up to nourish an infinitude of plants. In the same way, the deeper purpose of our feelings is to transform the terrain of our inner world, sometimes creating space for more feelings to flow, sometimes providing sustenance for growth. All we need to do is allow the process by relaxing, opening, and receiving the bounty of our emotions.
