SpiritMaa

A cultural priestess, channeling prophetic information for the mission of her organization, for her staff, for those she has taken under her wing - and who takes SO much of the burden upon her shoulders she sometimes forgets to hold space for other's perspectives, and forgets about Self care. 
  

A young wizard woman who wants to open an esoteric school, who has her own spiritual gifts, but has limited organizational and people skills and shoots herself in the foot t...

So many pics of him and articles about his terrible nominees - I am feeling overwhelmed and drawn into his game of fear. I am wondering how we stay focused on LOVE trumps hate without giving so much attention to the hate part of the equation? How do we stay alert but not feed into the fear that continues to be generated? How do we stay grounded and focused, take action as we are called, but avoid getting permanently drawn in to the dance of anger?

I believe that NOW is the time to hold ...

Kali comes when the demons of greed, war and oppression are out of control on the planet. When neither the male gods, nor the fighting calm of her sister warrior goddess Durga are enough, a force of anger so huge arises that out of it Ma Kali appears and slays ALL the bleedin' demons. Women, might it be time to bow to the primal power, call forth our inner Kali and dance patriarchy into the ground once and for all?

I bow to the primal power.

I bow to the all encompassing power and...

Join us as we gather to ask that the human community wake-up; that the old spirits come back, that our ancient practices be renewed, and that the endangered species return. We will together make a LOUD noise to vibrate throughout the worlds. We will lift our faces to the SKY and project our prayers into the clouds. We will ask the Sky Spirits to cleanse our minds, hearts, and bodies; to let the rain come down and wash away the stench of fear, hatred, and violence, and the scars those leave up...

The lower nine were not fine. I had just driven to the 9th ward to attend a wreath laying ceremony in honor of those lost during the levee breaches 10 years ago. I wondered where everyone was, why there was only a smattering of people in room where Obama had spoken just two days previous about ‘recovery’ and ‘resilience.’ And why they were mostly white. I listened to the messages of the politicos – the mayor, the previous state senator, and the former speaker...

Pounding the Pavement – a book about being out of work in your twenties, dumbing down your resume, flubbing interviews, wondering if you will find something before your unemployment runs out. Not wanting to settle for something – is that crazy – waiting for something that feels right?… Sounds the same as looking for a job in your 40’s, ahem… Only there doesn’t seem to be so much time left to wait/waste. Although maybe for a 20 something in ...

While sharing our experiences of meeting Kali, another of her initiates asked me when my Kundalini got activated, and here is my response:

Kundalini - I think it started getting activated in the middle 90's after I had been meditating for a few years. I started to have kriyas and sexual energy during meditation - at that time I ondered what the hell was going on, and it triggered further exploration into earth based traditions that honored sexuality... (It was also around ...

I'm in recovery from Mardi Gras: two weeks of parades and dancing in the streets! Mythic creatures have been walking, riding and gliding down our mainstreets, including goddesses, women warriors, naked women on horseback, shapeshifters, druids, elves and fairies, not to mention Zulu warriors... Also some more patriarchal stuff, but I avoided most of that...

Now the question is, how to integrate these mythic archetypal energies into day to day life? A nice problem to have! Oh yes, I was...

lalita ma - playful goddess of ecstatic liberation - i see your red energy merge into me - i feel your eyes watching me, adoring me... durga ma - the warrior goddess, calm and certain in battle - i visualize you behind me, breathing out into your heart, breathing you back into mine.  what a shift in the ground of being to feel your protection 'at my back'... bhuvenashwari, the goddess who holds all the worlds within you - what a relief as you bridge the gap between my world and another's...

went out to lake ponchartrain, and suddenly i knew that the blue agate crystal needed to go into the lake.  the one i had been waiting to give away throughout my cross country journey had found it's home here in nola.  sent prayers and heart energy into the crystal, for healing of the lake and gulf waters, threw it into the water, and... looked up and saw a buffalo soldier in the cloud formations - native american pose, african american face, and after a while, an indigenous woman's...
