April 10th - A Journey with Goddess.

Asteria - Greek Goddess of Falling Stars.

Artemis II will soon be falling back to Earth; she will become a falling star and so it feels like the right time to call upon Asteria. Bring those intrepid explorers back safe and sound!

Phoebe - Greek goddess prophecy.

She was one of the original Titans and therefore one of the most ancient deities. She is the grandmother of Artemis and Hecate. Phoebe was the guardian of the Oracle at Delphi before she gifted it to Apollo.

April 8th - A Journey with Goddess.

The Venus of Laussel -a 25,000 year old carving of a voluptuous female figure. She holds a horn on which have been carved thirteen notches - the number of menstrual cycles in a year. Could this be one of humanity's first calendars?

I look at the state of the world and start to think there's no hope, and then I remember that the universe sent me these two perfect dogs.

If you never see me again, it's because I slipped away with the fae in this enchanted bluebell woodland 💜

April 7th - A Journey with Goddess.

Macha - Celtic Goddess of War.
An aspect of The Morrigan, she is a goddess of battle, but also of justice. She brings weakness to arrogant and power-hungry men to restore balance.

We all know which men currently deserve to be broken by Macha.

At this Easter time, I always like to remember that resurrection myths have been around for a very long time and the one being currently celebrated is just one in a long line of tales of death and rebirth.

Humans have created many of these myths... but Inanna was first 😉

April 5th - A Journey with Goddess.

The Descent of Inanna - the earliest recorded resurrection myth. Over 5000 years ago Inanna was revered as the Queen of Heaven in Mesopotamia. She journeys into the Underworld, is killed, hung upon a hook, and then resurrected three days later.

April 4th - A Journey with Goddess.

Today's goddess is... the divine deity that is my doggo. I've just been reunited with the dog of my soul after a week in Cyprus, and while searching for a goddess for today I realised that there is no greater goddess than my divine dachshund.

May our journey back to the UK be free from a) excruciatingly annoying fellow passengers, b) random delays that have no reason whatsoever and c) any children kicking the back of my seat.

April 3rd - A Journey with Goddess.

Our Cyprus holiday comes to an end, and so today we honour Aphrodite Euploia. One of the many epithets for Aphrodite, in her form as Euploia she reigned over safe travel.

We have been visiting this mountain for ten years. Thousands of years ago, a huge temple to Aphrodite once graced its peak; however that temple was destroyed and replaced with a monastery.

The monastery is still active, but I'm sure the lads don't mind me reclaiming it for Aphrodite every year 😉

Today we trekked up a mountain in Cyprus to honour Aphrodite Akraia. Akraia means 'of the heights'. She is the Aphrodite worshipped on mountain top and on the highest of hills.

April Fool's Day calls for a tricksy Goddess. Today, if you've been fooled, then tip your hat to Laverna - Roman Goddess of tricksters, frauds and thieves.

March 31st - A Journey with Goddess.

Today let's recognise Aphrodite Anadyomene (The Rising Aphrodite). This Greek term refers to her emerging from the ocean, born from the Cyprus sea foam.

And here is my very own little Aphrodite, being blessed in the sea foam of this very island.

March 30th - A Journey with Goddess

We have finally landed once again on the most beautiful island in the world Cyprus. Renowned as the birthplace of Aphrodite; however did you know that another Great Goddess of Cyprus was worshipped here long, long before the arrival of Aphrodite.

Tomorrow we are off to Cyprus, and so I'm calling on Abeona. The Roman Goddess of outward journeys; she watches over travellers as they head out. May Abeona bless our travels tomorrow... perhaps a cocktail in the airport will help 😉

Remember - Goddess is not all love and light. She is everything; she is the brightness of the stars but she is also the darkness in between them all.

Eris - Greek Goddess of strife

The world seems to be collapsing into conflict and chaos, and today I cannot stop thinking about Eris. It was she who started the whole Trojan war with her dangerous golden apple and and it she that delights in strife.

She has floated around my mind today while I watch the news, and I've started to think that witchy women emerging from lakes with gifts of swords might be a much better way to choose our world leaders.

Nimue - goddess, sorceress, faery. She resides in a lake on the magical isle of Avalon. She is a mysterious figure, known best from Arthurian legend, when she rises from the water and bestows the sword Excalibur upon King Arthur.

March 26th - A Journey with Goddess.

Soteria is a Greek goddess or spirit of safety, preservation and protection.

Offerings were made to her in the form of cakes that were flung into the sea. Now that I can't eat wheat, I may just fling ALL the cakes into the ocean in her honour.
