Lighting the Light Ceremony

I received this info in my email this morning and want to
pass it along to all of you...it is from the Center for
Sacred Studies...

Don't Miss this Historic Ceremony and Call to Prayer for Renewal of our Mother Waters and Earth.  Join the Watersongline. We invite ALL WISDOM KEEPERS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD to this historic event where we as a planet renew the pact we have with the Mother Waters and Earth, and ignite some powerful healing for the world. We do this through one of the most ancient ceremonies of propitiation to the universal Mother Waters and Earth - the Lighting of the Lights Ceremony. This ceremony is held in various formats from Africa all the way to India. This will be the first time the ceremony will be done by cultures from all over the world unifying their energies together.

This promises to be a powerful moment.

We have timed the ceremony with the famous Venus Transit which happens only once every 150 years. The transit marks the coming in of the cosmic feminine energy of love, compassion, cooperation, and earth renewal. Astrology tells us it is important for all to pray at this time.

What Will Happen at This Ceremony?

16 International Wisdom Keepers (which includes representatives from the International Council of 13 Grandmothers) will light 16 sacred fires and hold ceremonies from their personal locations. Representations of these 16 sacred fires will be lit around the sacred calabash of the Mother Waters and Earth that contains potent ashe (power) for the world's healing. This is the first time this sacred calabash has been brought out publicly. Wisdom Keepers from all over the world and those who want to join the call to prayer will also be lighting sacred fires and holding ceremonies.

Will you be joining in?  I am marking my calendar right now!!!  :)

Love and Radiant Blessings to All...

A'HO!

Wintry Morning....

Good Morning Everyone...albeit a late
morning already....I've been a busy girl
this a.m.

Right now it is a brisk 3 degrees outside
with a wind chill factor of anything less
than 0 is cold?  Ha Ha Ha!!!

Doesn't matter...my vehicle is now fixed
and running so I must venture outside
to start it up and maybe go to the grocery
store to get in some much needed supplies
to finish my Holiday baking, and to soothe
this savage beast.

This morning I wanted to share some videos
of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers from over
on Vimeo of their recent trip to Japan in regards
to the UN's 10th Conference of Parties to the
Convention on Biological Diversity, which took
place on October 19th in Nagoya, Japan. I'll
post a couple of links for the videos and you
can check everything out on Earth Foundation
once you get there...I love listening to Our
Blessed Grandmothers Voices!!!  We need to
really listen well, and heed their call to action.

Grandmother Mona Polacca and Grandmother
Agnes Pilgrim Baker as well as others...

I hope you can make the time to hear them
speak from their Heart's Song...

And I leave you with this lovely poem sent to
me by my Beautiful Spirit Sister Sorrow who
made the most lovely Holiday Card with this
inscribed on it...it touched me deeply and now
I want to pass it along to all of you...
Thank You Sister Sorrow...I love you Dear Friend!

Blessed be the longing that brought you here
and that quickens your soul with wonder.
May you succumb to the danger of new growth.
May you receive great encouragement
when new frontiers beckon.
May you respond to the call of your gift
and find the courage to follow its path.
May there be kindness in your gaze
when you look within.
May you know tender shelter and healing
blessing when you are called to stand in
the place of pain.
May your outer dignity mirror and inner
dignity of the soul.
May you become the gracious and
passionate subject of your own life.

~John O'Donohue, Irishman~

Wishing for you all a day of courage,
dignity, and soul grace.....be kind to
yourselves.


In Divine Love,

A Heads Up!!!!

For those of you who missed the
conference call with the Grandmothers,
they now have the recording up to
listen to.  Just follow this link to the
Summer Solstice Virtual Council below
if you want to parktake of this wondrous
event...believe me the energies are
still being manifested on a moment
to moment basis.

Summer Solstice Virtual Council

Prepare to be moved!!!!

A'HO!!!!

Happy Summer Solstice!!!

On June 19th I was honored to participate
in a Virtual Teleconference Call with the
13 Indigenous Grandmothers.  It was very
powerful and profound.  Over 17,000
people from 86 different countries participated.

Two of The Grandmothers were able to be
with us during the call, but many were called
into ceremony in different parts of the world,
as well as to Sundance, or support those in
Sundance, as it is the time of The Solstice
and the energies are currently very strong,
and they are doing Ceremony and Ritual now.

Grandmother Rita and Grandmother Flordemayo,
shared from their heartsongs what we all
should be giving our attention to right now as
we face what is happening in our world, mostly
with the Gulf Oil Spill (which I contend is a
rape of 'Men' against Mother Earth).

The Grandmothers shared that the Wise Elder
Feminine is now in Power and is taking back
Her rightful place.

I will just share the notes I took during the call
with you...

We are all to Be Guardians of The Land now.
No one is excluded from this.  We must help
all living things and hold them all in our hearts
and in our prayers.  We are to pray for everyone
on Earth, and pray that all things will turn out
better than what it is right now.  We are now
to come together at a community level to
reduce our usage of water, to begin using rain
barrels to collect the rain water and use it for
watering our gardens, etc., and I take that to
mean flushing our toilets and many other ways
in which we can conserve.  (I remember the
use of rain barrels, our Grandparents always
used them.)

We are to involve ourselves in Water Projects
which clean up our rivers, lakes, streams, etc..

Whatever it takes to clean up our Mother Earth
we are to involve ourselves in, in a big way!
Each person must take part!  That includes
teaching our children about the effects of
Man-made pollution and how it will affect the
coming generations if we don't do something
now as we are living in the Eleventh Hour.

About Children:  Grandmother Rita shared
that children are out of control...we are to
start now by really 'listening' to them, their
concerns, their needs.  We are to speak to
them gently and easily and to teach them
that each new day is a beginning and to
forget yesterday.  Grandmothers all over the
world are to begin actively taking part in
teaching their Grandchildren, and supporting
them in their endeavors to help Mother Earth.

Grandmother Flordemayo shared that Today
is being represented by the Jungle Tiger and
her spots are the Universe...Today is Feminine!

She shared also that we are to work in tandem
with the Star Nations as They are working with
Us.

We are to recognize that capping the oil spill
is the test that shows us we are not to mess
with what we don't know about!!!!  In other
words, leave Mother Earth alone!  She has
suffered enough at the hands of 'men.')

I say to you, that Women did not take part in
this rape of Mother Earth...We have the internal
knowing as We too are The Womb, and that
now is the time to step forward and let your
voices be heard and your actions be shown in
whatever ways are available to you, as We must
all do our part to establish The Rise of The
Feminine.  I say this as A Grandmother.

The Grandmothers also shared that we are now
to be praying three times daily...In the morning
before the Sun comes up...at Mid-Day...and
before we go into the Dreamlodge each night.

We are to keep the Fires lit through the use of
candles, or whatever means available to you,
as it will be through Fire that We will connect,
and to Pray! Pray! Pray!

We are to have no Expectations or Outcomes!

We are to Allow Creations Seed to show us the
way we are to go and trust the way will be shown
to us.

We joined in Prayer with Grandmother Rita and
Grandmother Flordemayo and I wept...it was so
utterly beautiful and poignant.  Grandmother
Rita prayed in her Mother Tongue and I wept
through the whole prayer and then I wept when
Grandmother Flordemayo prayed as she touched
me with her words.

They then asked if their were other Grandmothers
on the call if they would like to say prayers and
blessings and many participated.  All were so
heartfelt and powerful...when it was finished
Grandmother Flordemayo shared that she saw
an Emerald Green Light covering us all and as
she was uttering her words I saw a huge
umbrella over all of us in all the colors of the
Rainbow and then others began to share what
they saw too.  It was moving beyond words.
I did much weeping in Joy!

We were then told it was the end of the call but
were given the chance to break off into pods of
eight...my pod had three and both women were
very loving, compassionate and kind.  We did
exchange email addresses and will now keep in
contact with each other.

After I hung up the phone, my body was
vibrating at a very high level and I could not
even begin to think about going to sleep so I
just began to Pray and soon I drifted off into
Dreamtime.

I hope you take these words I have shared
this morning into your heart...I know I have.
It was the best two hours I have spent in a
long, long time and I am so happy I decided
to take part, as a Woman, and a Grandmother!

If you feel so led, you may also support The
Grandmothers financially as they travel all
over the world to share their message.

Their Mission Statement is:

WE, THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF THIRTEEN INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS, represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children.

Their website is here:  Just click on the link...as well they will be sharing the call in the very near future for those who were not able to take part.
