Sun in Taurus

 

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

"Companions, let us contemplate the Awakening of Taurus and Isis. . . Gaze with me upon the glory of the black sky of winter. With the eyes of wondering childhood we see the starry cluster of the Pleiades as dancing nymphs moving across the sky. They come with the white bull, Serapis, who rises from the milky sky river, Eridanus. His baleful left eye gleams like a red torch, and within it are all lost memories. In his eye is held forever the beauty of the Goddess; and her forked cows' horns may be seen behind his. Following him strides the hawk-headed giant Sahu-Orion-Horus of the Southern sky. And rising from the milky sea of heaven comes great Isis, and on Her brow is the full moon and in her right hand She holds Her star, Anuki, Sirius that holds the immortal twin spirits of Osiris and Herself. This is the story of eternal love and life, of the losing and the gaining of the death in the West and the rising in the East. Contemplate and wonder."

Sun in Aries

 

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

"Before us is a grassy hill like an emerald pyramid - and crowning it is the Temple of the Zodiac. We climb this hill. We reach the Temple Portico, flanked by lofty female and male sphinxes, their wings reaching the stars. We enter. In the centre is the altar of the perpetual flame composed of many coloured rays. It is guarded by a bull, lion, eagle and angel with outspread wings. There are 12 stained-glass windows in the Temple, and we approach the Window of Aries in the East. Let us contemplate its picture. It portrays a God and Goddess with bodies of copper-coloured light. The God holds aloft a sword of fire and the Goddess holds a flaming torch. They lead a winding procession of old people, the disabled, young children, animals and birds towards the stars. A sudden powerful wind throws open the window and we are faced by the triangle of the stars of Aries."

Full Moon & Eclipse

 

Hear Olivia Robertson speaking on the moon and then giving a reading of Lucius Apuleius:

Transcript:
Olivia writes: The Moon is our sister planet and her influence moves both the tides of the seas and our own souls. As she waxes and wanes she affects all plant life and our own emotions. In her fullness she is a mighty mirror that reflects to us the polarized rays of the sun. In her darkness she shows us our own black image, the earth's shadow. So she is an enigma that conceals the truth. For everything in this physical world is but a reflection of greater spheres. The sphere of the occulted Full Moon is only truly experienced by the Adepti. 

Hear the words of Lucius Apuleius, Priest of Isis:  "As I lay by the seashore I awakened with sudden fear and saw the moon shining bright. Then I thought that this was the most secret time, when that Goddess had most puissance and force. I made this oration to the puissant Goddess: O Blessed Queen of Heaven, the original and motherly source of all things, Thou hast power with triple face to protect and doth illuminate us by Thy feminine Light. Grant peace and rest and protection. And there appeared to me from the midst of the sea a Divine and venerable Face, worshipped even of the Gods themselves. I saw the whole figure of her body, bright and mounting out of the sea and standing before me. She had a great abundance of hair, flowing and curling; on the crown of Her head she bore many garlands of flowers, and in the middle of Her forehead was a plain circle in fashion of a mirror, borne on either side by serpents. Her vestment yielded diverse colours, white, yellow, rosy red and flaming, and (which troubled my sight and spirit sore), her cloak was utterly dark and obscure, shining black and upon it stars glimpsed, and in the midst of them was placed the moon in mid-month, which shone like a flame of fire. And with her holy voice she uttered these words to me:"

"Behold, Lucius, I am come. I am she that is the natural Mother of all things, Mistress of all the elements, the initial progeny of worlds, Chief of the Powers Divine, Queen of all that are in Hades, the Principal of them that dwell in Heaven, manifested alone and under one form of all the Gods and Goddesses: Deorum Dearum-que Facies Uniformis. I am known by Ten Thousand Names and the Egyptians, excellent in ancient doctrine, call me Isis. Behold, the healthful aeon has come which is ordained by my Providence."
