mother god

This Mothers Day we honor the mother of all mothers - Earth Mother, Goddess Gaia, Mother of God. In a changed and challenged world with our human footprint greatly diminished we watch in awe and wonder as Mother Nature now thrives and shines in her grand glory.

Happy Mothers Day! To all our nurturers and matriarchs throughout the ages. Women of substance all - each a powerful radiant queen.

Whatever the belief, culture or tradition, these are the women who birthed our world into being. Their bounty and passion nourish generations. Their heart and soul beat in constant compassion to drive and inspire us. 

Virgin of Candelaria

The ideal symbol, advocate and patroness for peace, community and wholeness. All the necessary elements we need to rebuild a kinder and wiser world.

This watershed moment in our lives impact us all, life as we had it collectively and suddenly interrupted irrevocably. Apart and in isolation we share similar experiences navigating these times whether fear filled or hope full, in wisdom or denial.

Patroness of Mexico City & Curanderas 

Women's social position in our world is closely connected with the honor and worship of the mother goddess. Since prehistoric societies to current communities it is a highly charged topic that is too easily politicized and muddied.

This turning point is the perfect moment to change the direction of our lives. This is the divergent point, from which normal will never be the same. It is momentous for never before have we had such a clear and undeniable mirror reflect back to us all that we have overused, misused and abused until now.

How easily nature takes back what was never ours. Back to the womb to gestate with our new found reality. May we be birthed into a better world of motherly love and compassion.

Happy Mothers Day to one and all!
