Yemaya Blessing of the Waters (2018)

For over ten years, around the first full moon of the year, I have lead a special beach side rite that honours the Yorùbá Orisha or Goddess of the living ocean Yemaya (also spelt Yemoja and Iemoja).

Originally from West Africa where her name means "Mother whose children are like fish”, Yemaya is the owner of the Ogun River and a lake named for her.  As the African diaspora occurred, Yemaya traveled with her children to the Americas and Caribbean, where the Mother of Waters became known as Mother of Oceans. 

Due to family commitments, this annual event will  be taking place around the second full moon of 2018, Wednesday, 31 January.  As such, I invite you to join me in this informal rite that will be held at Grange Beach where we will be asking Yemaya to bless the world's waterways, seas creations and all other beings that fall under Her protection.

Full Moon Meditation and Healing Circles

Once the energies of this current full moon have subsided, Full Moon Meditation and Healing circles will be held at Port Adelaide commencing from August with a lunar eclipse and the moon being in Aquarius. 

The energy of the full moon tends to make us purge and release things from our lives.  Therefore it is important that we make sure that we are in control of what we are releasing due to the heightened emotions also experienced around the time of the full moon, otherwise we may regret our decision.  Often the full moon is a time when we reap what we sowed at the new moon, for good or for ill. As such we need to be mindful of what we bring into our own lives.

If you are interested in attending, bookings are essential as there are limited places available. Secure bookings can be made Paypal.

Exploring the Archangels of Kabbalah

The Kabbalistic Tree of Life is the map of the life journey that each soul has to go through in the incarnational experience in order to reach an enlightened state of consciousness.  It is a very important symbol of creation which encompasses the entire meaning of the universe.

The Kabbalistic teachings state that the origin of the universe and the world began by God’s creation of the ten sefirot, or emanations, enumerations or characteristics of God.

Everything begins with Kether, the Crown, and moves down the Tree to reach Malkuth, the Kingdom.  Each sphere (sephira) corresponds to a Divine name and the unfolding of the Tree of Life illustrates the ways God has designed energy to flow into creation.  The Archangels that are related to each of these spheres express that energy throughout the universe and play a specific role in mediating the divine influence via the celestial bodies, the planets and the stars.

Opening at Port Adelaide

I am excited to announced that from the end of March, events will also be held at Port Adelaide as well as the Isian Centre of Metaphysics.  Last month I took possession of the keys to a beautiful upstairs room at Kyle Place (near the corner of Commercial Road and St Vincent Street).  I had hoped that the room would be ready at the start of March, however February saw other commitments taking precedence, resulting in a delay in preparations.

As it stands, I am delighted to advise that the following events will be running from Room 2, 3 Kyle Place, Port Adelaide from the end of March:

The Sacredness of the Feminine Divine Meditation Event

International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women and takes place every year on 8th March.

This year on Wednesday, 8 March 2017, the Isian Centre of Metaphysics will be holding a special MEDITATION ON THE SACREDNESS OF THE FEMININE DIVINE to celebrate International Women’s Day.

This special women’s only event will commence at 7.30pm and will last for approximately an hour.

Entry to the Isian Centre of Metaphysics for this event will be available from 7:20pm.

Yemaya Blessing of the Waters Event

For the last ten years, around the first full moon of the year, I have lead a special beach side devotional rite in order to  Yemaya (also spelt Yemoja and Iemoja), the Yorùbá Orisha or Goddess of the living ocean around.  This year is no different.

On Thursday, 12th January I invite you to join me in this informal rite that will be held at Grange Beach where we will be asking Yemaya to bless the world's waterways, seas creations and all other beings that fall under Her protection.

Around 8.00pm we will be gathering on the grassed area along the forefront in front of the Grange Hotel (look for the purple banner) before heading down to the shore at 8.15pm.  The rite will commence around 8:30pm.
