Sun in Capricorn

 

Blessings of the Sun in Capricorn!  From the FOI Liturgy book "Fortuna, Creation through the Goddess":  

"Let us sit in a circle with eyes shut. We see before us a hill crowned with the Temple of the Zodiac. Its domed roof is surrounded by myriads of stars. We approach. The Temple has 12 windows and a southern portico flanked by 2 sphinxes. We enter. We warm ourselves at the perpetual flame upon the central altar.  We move to the North, to the window of Capricorn. This shows a stained-glass picture of a goat, with fish's tail, accompanied by a green man crowned with leaves, and a mermaid holding a cornucopia. Suddenly a wind blows the window open and we face the constellation of Capricorn! The Magi of old called Capricorn 'Altera Solis Porta', the starry gateway for souls to enter heaven. The stars called the Goat's head and body contain the abode of Muspell, ruled by the Valkyrie."

Happy Solstice

 

The Introduction to "Dea, Rites and Mysteries of the Goddess" by Olivia Robertson:

"Wherever any living flame burns, there is the Vestal Fire guarded by Hestia. The tradition in Ireland, and in many countries, is that the hearth fire must never die. At the time of the Winter Solstice the fire is renewed with embers from the dying fire of Yule. To create a shrine to the Goddess there needs to be this matriarchal flame. In any impersonal hotel room, in a town flat, in a small garden, the vestal flame is the same, and gives the same power as that bestowed by the Goddess in the mighty temples of antiquity. This sacred flame may be represented by a lighted candle, an incense stick, a resinous torch or small fire. The smoke represents Air, the holy breath which keeps the fire alive, as does our breath combine with our heart-beats. By the divine law of correspondences, everything material in this world is a symbol for some reality in another sphere. When a fire, candles or incense are burnt with the intention of honouring Deity, a communication centre is created, which forms a link in a golden chain that brings through the fiery power of the Deity invoked.

"Having made the centre of our shrine, we need a shell, a Matrix to protect it. This Matrix in greater form may be understood to be the darkness of Outer Space which holds galaxies in its embracing blackness. It is the blue atmosphere with fleecy clouds which protects our earthly vegetation as a robe: it is the crust of the earth, a chrysalis that conceals the mystery within. Beneath this rocky shell of earth are two lava flows of magma which, like fiery dragons rotating in contrary directions, protect the golden apples that shine in the glowing heart of our planet. And so also is the Matrix the protecting womb that enfolds the unborn child and small animal: the snake that conceals her eggs within her: the nut shell and husk that guard the living kernel and seed within. Though we respect great temples, a simple room or grove of trees form a Matrix that protects our altar fire. A shrine may be a psychic temple not made with hands. The Devotee, sitting in silent contemplation, even in a crowded room, may yet build in creative imagination a shrine that guards the privacy of the soul. For the Matrix is not only a womb or shell: it is also the individual aura. We carry our temples about us.

"In a Seasonal Rite, the invocation is connected with a special time of year, with the cyclic movements of the celestial bodies and with the climatic changes of the earth. For those living in a town, cut off from nature in her wild form, even the visualising of Stonehenge and the Polar stars at the Winter Solstice brings food for the soul, a reminder of past incarnations, a harmony with nature spirits. When a group gathers for a seasonal festival, even in a small room, affinity is realised with the cosmos.  Above is not a mere plaster ceiling with an electric light bulb suspended from it - but the starry glory of the heavens. Behind the television set is the mystery of the setting sun: beyond the radiator is the radiance of the circumpolar stars: by the door may be felt the influence of the centre of our galaxy, near Vega, the Weaver Maid. And mighty Orion is rising below the sitting-room carpet, as he chases Taurus, and in turn is followed by the Star of Isis now below the earth.

"Any Rite which invokes Deity or Deities through a Mystery Religion - that which deals with the Unknown - has effect throughout all levels and on the earth itself. Throughout the ages people of varying cultures have learnt to communicate with those from other spheres: we need all the knowledge, understanding and good feeling we can obtain, in order that we may live here in peace with each other with all creatures; and obtain happiness and wisdom in the spheres beyond death."

Sun in Sagittarius

 

Blessings of the Sun in Sagittarius!  From the FOI Liturgy book "Fortuna, Creation through the Goddess":  

"Let us be seated with closed eyes. We surround ourselves with a rainbow and feel a tingle in our eye of vision. We face a hill surmounted by the Temple of the Zodiac. We mount the hill and reach the South-West portico flanked by a male and a female sphinx. We enter. In the centre is the Solar Altar flanked by four Kerubs. We approach the North and reach the window of Sagittarius. We stand before it. A stained-glass window shows a Goddess enthroned on a mighty rock. She is crowned and bears in her right hand a sceptre surmounted by a gold eagle. In her left hand she holds a crystal orb. Above her on the left is a crescent moon above a winged white horse. On the right is a rayed sun shining upon a peacock with raised tail."
