White Ribon Day - 25 November 2012

In 1991, a group of Canadian men initiated a White Ribbon campaign to recognise the anniversary of the deaths of 14 Canadian women massacred by a gunman in Montreal two years prior. Wearing a white ribbon was a public pledge by these men to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.

Since that time, the White Ribbon campaign has spread to countries on every continent. It is now the largest organised worldwide event condemning violence against women.

Each year, 25 November marks both the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and White Ribbon Day.

November Devotional Service

As the year is quickly coming to an end, various other commitments are amounting up.  As such, a regrettable decision has been made to cancel the November devotional service that was to be held at The Goddess House this coming Tuesday, 13 November 2012. 
 
A private healing circle will still take place so if you would like a name to be added to the list, please contact the Priestess in Residence.
 
The final devotional service for 2012 to be held on Tuesday, 11 December 2012, will still go ahead.  The theme of this service will be to honour the God and Goddess of the Summer.  I hope to see you there.

Dancing the Sacred Wheel

Dancing the Sacred Wheel
Limited number of signed copies avaliable.
There are eight earth centric festivals that make up the "Wheel of the Year" which celebrate the journey through the seasons.

In Dancing the Sacred Wheel: A Journey through the Southern Sabbats, the author take the reader on a journey through this seasonal Wheel. Incorporating traditional Pagan myth and folklore, history with ritual, the author also shares her own personal experience in developing an underlying relationship to her local environment.

By looking deeper at our own spiritual practices in order to re-connect with the land on which we reside, we are able to gain a greater level of knowledge and understanding in order to celebrate the "Wheel of the year". Dancing the Sacred Wheel: A Journey through the Southern Sabbats provides invaluable ideas on how we are able to achieve this.

Exhortation of Isis

You are She in the dust of whose feet is the hosts of Heaven,
Whose body encircles the Universe,
Who turns the Earth in its orb,
Who gives light to the Sun,
Who rules the World.

You tread death underfoot.
To Thee, the stars are responsive,
To Thee the seasons turn and the Gods rejoice
And the elements are in subjugation.

You are She that is the natural Mother of all things,
Mistress and governor of all elements,
The initial progeny of worlds,
Chief of Divine powers,
Queen of Heaven,
Principle of all the Gods celestial and the light of Goddesses.

At Your will are disposed the planets of the air,
The wholesome winds of the seas
And the silences of the unseen world.
