The Goddess * 2
    #23443215 - 07/15/16 08:18 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I've always been highly skeptical about the religions I've been exposed to my culture, country, life.  I've always felt like an observer looking in.  No resentment, just never really feeling like it was something that I was a part of, or even really cared too much to be a part of.

I've always been curious about the cycles of the earth, the sky, the moon.  I know a little bit about a lot of things; tarot, crystal therapy, herbs & oils, colour therapy, chakra healing and so on.  Crystals are my favorite.  These little minerals of the earth are like my little pets.  So I've been hanging around this crystal shop that does healing grids and New Moon gatherings and the pagan sabbats.  I still don't know the difference between pagan, wiccan and witchcraft.  I don't think it really matters to be honest.

At the beginning of the ritual, the high priestess always has us sit cross legged, holding hands with each other in a circle.  She will walk us through a meditation that usually involves visualizing a deep root coming from the base of our spine and travelling down down down down into the center of the earth.  It is there where our circle joins the great mother.  One time we got there and I felt this feeling of love.  It was like seeing my grandmother after so long, when she just gives you such a big grandma hug and you just feel safe and secure and loved.  It was so pleasant.  I felt like I belonged there in that moment, in a time where I don't feel like I belong anywhere in my life.  I feel very disconnected from my life actually. 

I have NEVER ever felt that sense of welcoming, love, gratitude in a church.  I have NEVER felt that sense of welcoming or belonging, that LOVE.  That feminine energy, the mother.  It wasn't overwhelming, it wasn't emotional, it was just beautiful and comfortable and nice.  I feel like I have found something that I would like to explore more.  I feel like there is something familiar there for me that my soul recognizes.

I just wanted to share.  I'm struggling right now with some pretty gross depression and when I think about the recent times where I felt peaceful and free from this cloud that follows me from day to day, this is what comes to mind.

Wow, that's awesome (to say the least) that you got to experience that.

Thank you for sharing.

How to get started in bulk:
Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker
BOD's Simple as FUCK Still Air Box
PastyWhyte's Easy Agar Tek
Munchauzen's Cultivation Video Series
How EvilMushroom666 Prepares His Grains (I use jars with Synthetic Filter Discs)
What is G2G? (Grain-to-Grain)
Damion5050's Coir Tek (I use 5.5 - 6 quarts of water instead of 4. Also ignore step 13 and ignore the monotub completely. The only purpose of this tek is to show you how to make a simple substrate. I also add gypsum to it but not necessary)
Spitball's Monotub Tek (A liner isn't necessary but is useful)
Use 6500k lights throughout the whole process. When you wake up, turn the light on. When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

Meditate on this woman's face if you would like to absorb the vibrations to live in that realm.

There is great power behind the word "we". We are all the same person, we are plants, and we are the universe. When we feel disconnected it is because when we dont express our true nature, the only thing that makes us feel alive is empowerment through being admired. Even in very spiritual people this is often the case. The ego is what a demon is portrayed as in modern media, and is the only barrier between us and the God mind (our true state of being). to regain full consciousness and oneness, and feel connected to the universe and each other, we have to.become self reliant and let go of the 7 sins.

Pagan comes from the word Paganus, which means country dweller.  The religious would be afraid of these country dwellers (pagans) because of how they stuck to their old beliefs, so they demonized them, and spread lies that they were in cahoots with dark forces.

Wicca is a form of witchcraft, there are numerous types of witchcraft though.


Sorry you're going through a rough time dude, hope you find what you're looking for with your new found passion.  I am not trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't do in your life, but check this out.  Many people are raised in a certain faith, but they did not choose that faith, so how could they say they're a true follower of something they did not choose of their freewill?  You will find some happiness, once you find something that is right for you.  Others around you might not want you to choose this new belief, but you have to do what's right for you, and if they love you, they will accept you no matter what.


A book I recommend on crystals is entitled "Love Is In The Earth", check it out.

I love how women style their posts and profiles/avatars. Makes me realise I should maybe have got a girlfriend instead of exploring consciousness, but my sexuality was all fucked up from early life sexual abuse, so the mystery of the present moment came first.

Thanks for listening.

Find a girl to explore consciousness with you, share your experiences with each other, that's always nice if you find a girl that actually enjoys doing that.

Very nice post, Fennario!  I had this same reasoning as a child, it's why I became an atheist/agnostic. . . then I went through major philosophies and so forth, Hinduism eventually taking the central part... 

Divine Mother is a very central aspect of religion there.  Yogananda, whom I came to later, after the others (when you have such ones as Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Amma, Mirra Alfassa & Sri Aurobindo,. . . ones like Yogananda ( for me ) were an interesting side-bar,....but one I only came to after a decade or so....  same with others, but anyway he did put it very lovely:

'In India it is more common to speak of God as Divine Mother. . . .

When I feel unbounded, unconditional love I call God Divine Mother.'

http://www.yogananda.com.au/pyr/what_is_God.html
Under 'What is God,' etc... on the page...

I always go through a fairly rigorous selectivity process, before I dive into any author..... Perhaps a more impressive adjective could be used -- my reasons are several; one is there are so many writers and so forth... 

It has served me very well.  I very much recommend it... Listening to one's heart or intuition is very good...

Anyway :smile: great post C.B., and wishing you very well.. !

Meeting spirits are always fun, it can be really scary, but it is fun.
I think some of us are more sensitive to these forces than others.
I find that most of the time they come from within but connecting with peoples spirits through pictures and mirrors. It's a healing experience to let yourself surrender beside friendly spirits. It takes a bit of knowing though. To know when it is time to rest and when it is time to dance with the spirits.
But you have to navigate these realms with wisdom and courage to get the most out of the experiences.
When it is time to meditate on question you have about the life you live.
And try to find what truly is important and could have a positive effect on your life.
Walking blind into this land of the unknown is not always so forgiving.
So finding a way on how to figth for yourself in these states are important atleast to me. But it's a balance. Because when do you surrender to the horrible things you experience that comes from your own being. From the workings of your mind, your blood and the feelings of your heart.
But knowing how to resist forces beyond ourselfs is something when they are sinister is not something to take lightly.

But there is protection everywhere. I've found that the way you sourround yourself with objects in your home . With pictures, with dreams and feelings can be protecting even if it is something from our subconcious mind, or the action of it.

Because if we really are to make the journey into the land of the unknown.
Then we need to guard our sacred temples inside our selves, but an enemey doesn't always come from outside, most of the time the true enemy is ourselves to be honest. The workings of our own minds and ego.


But make great friends on this planet of ours. Mushrooms are fun, but they have their own will. So i find that it is important to work with many plant teachers. You build an arsenal of mental powers and with allies that you can call your teachers and your friends. They all have something important to teach us. One may be a master in a certain area, but there are so many areas in the world and inside ourselves.

I have a belief that it is a process that takes a whole lifetime to find and to experience different plant medicines we migth need in our lives. To build a healthy relationship with them and honoring their spirits, without words but with intent and feelings towards them. They are here for us for a reason.
People have tried to honor the gods by building temples towards them.
But to truly honor the gods in our own minds or in the universe is to honor ourselves and to always strive for knowledge and happiness in our lives.
To build something great with what has been given to us.
To feel the we are both the creator and the created, we are divine, but our lack of knowledge makes us believe we are small and unworthy of great things.
So dream big friends and have courage in your hearts while you journey across the stars!

Sounds excellent, CherryBom :thumbup:

best of luck to you, all things must pass :sun: Reading your story reminded me not to get too emotional with others, and to try and share that clear, beautiful love. So thanks!

The spirits from within ourselves is our egos. We can have multiple egos, which is where MPD and schizophrenia come from, but they are our demons and are the barrier between us and what it is that we all truly want. God, or the God mind is the fourth realm of consciousness where we are truly self aware, beyond wake, sleep, and dream states, and it is what we all want to aquire.
