Today's Goddess: Bear Goddess Tangun (Korea)

Today's Goddess:Bear Goddess
Tangun (Korea)
Themes: Change; Peace; Devotion; Inspiration; Patience
Symbols: Bears; Wormwood; Garlic
About Bear Goddess: Korean myth recounts the tale of two friends, a bear and a tiger, who wished
to be human. To receive this transformation, the two had to stay in a
cave eating wormwood and garlic for one hundred days. Unfortunately,
the tiger lacked patience, found this too difficult, and left. The
bear, however, stayed determined. After one hundred days, she
transformed into a beautiful human woman and then bore a son who founded Korea, naming it "the land of morning calm". This quiet peacefulness
and devotion is what the Bear Goddess inspires, especially for personal
transformation.
To Do Today: In
Korean tradition, today is National Foundation Day, the time when Bear
Goddess's son founded the country. To commemorate this and strengthen
your connection with Bear Goddess, include garlic in your diet today
(or, if you're a really devoted garlic fan, add it to one meal a day for one hundred days)!
Should you need
improved tranquility, try visualizing yourself in a deep cave (this is
Bear Goddess's womb). Stay here as long as you wish in your meditations until the quiet solitude saturates your inner self.
Finally, for any
personal transformation you need to undertake, carry any image of a bear with you. This will inspire Bear Goddess's tenacity for success. )0( By Patricia Telesco ~ From "365 Goddess"

Lady of the Garden: Lavender

Lady of the Garden: Lavender
.
Lavender has been the lady of the garden for centuries. She stands tall above
most herbs in beauty and versatility. Originally found in the
Mediterranean countries, this perennial herb has long been prized for
it's perfume and medicinal qualities. Ancient Romans used lavender for
it's healing qualities , hence the name itself comes from the Latin
"lavare" to wash. A lavender bath is not something new.
Lavender also gives us
another product called lavender essential oil which is used in
aromatheraphy. This is one of the most useful oils in therapeutic terms, being sedative, antiseptic, painkilling and calming.
We have a collection of lavender recipes we would like share with you.
Relaxing Body Butter
2 tbsp shea butter
2 tbsp cocoa butter
2 tbsp olive oil
5-7 drops Lavender essential Oil
Melt shea, cocoa, and
olive oil together, let them cool. Beat them well, so the consistency
goes from stiff to creamy, add the essential oils. You can also add some vitamin E . Put into container
Restful Evening Bath Salt
1 cup of Dead sea salt
1 teaspoon of calendula oil
7-10 drops of lavender essential oil
5 drops of patchouli essential oil
Mix together essential
oil and calendula oil, add salts, then and add to a warm bath. When I
make bath salts for myself I like to mix an oil and essential oil
together and then add to the salts. The essential oil seems to mix in
better and floats on the water to better give more aromatheraphy or
therapeutic measure to the bath. Making bath salt can be fun! Just let
your creative side run wild!
Restore the Beauty Sugar Scrub
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoon of sweet almond oil
2 teaspoon of calendula oil
1 teaspoon of rosehip seed oil
5-7 drops of palmrosa essential oil
5-7 drops of patchouli essential oil

Freyja's Love Ritual

Freyja's Love Ritual
One of the greatest and perhaps the most
well-known of all the goddesses of the Norse pantheon is Freyja.
Her
name can mean "to make love" or "to court," so she is an important
figure for those petitioning for love. Friday is Freyja's day, and green
is her color. Today wear gold jewelry, especially a gold necklace,
which evokes the power of Brisingamen, her magical necklace. Since
Freyja is a solar goddess, the following ritual should take place during
daylight, but before you go outdoors. Start the ritual by burning both a
green and a pink candle, and asking Freyja to show you a sign that love
will come your way soon. Offer her a cup of mead or beer, or some
suitably festive beverage. Meditate on Freyja for a time, then, when you
leave the house, keep an eye open for a sign from her. If you see a cat
that is the color of one of Freyja's cats (gray or white), you know
that Freyja has heard your prayer. Greet and pet the cat if at all
possible. If no cat appears today, try this spell on another Friday. ~ Denise Dumars

Chinese Ode, Second Century B.C.E.

It is possible to receive the truth, though it cannot be given.
It is so tiny it can hold nothing, and yet is boundlessly huge.
Keep your soul on the path away from confusion,
and it will always find its way to truth.
Bring the male and the female with you together,
and hold them within yourself through the long night,
and you will be ready to receive all wisdom.
~Chinese Ode, Second Century B.C.E.
The union of opposites
is at the base of many philosophies and religions. Whether it be called
male and female, yin and yang, the inner light and the transcendent
divinity - such dualisms must be overcome in order for enlightenment to
be achieved.
We live in a world that encourages oppositional thinking. Up and down, black and white, rich
and poor. Adult and child. Fat and thin. Normal and abnormal. Day and
night. But where does day actually end, and night begin? Much of our
life is led in various twilights, in spaces between extremes.
Acknowledging the variety and diversity of earthly life is part of the
search for wisdom, in whatever tradition we find it.
