ANIMA

No one really knows how old this little sculpture of a Goddess is, some Archeologists attribute this small figure to Venus, the Goddess of fertility and love, reason why she’s called “The Venus of Willendorf”, since it was discovered in this Austrian village in the year 1908. It is a great example of the prehistoric civilizations who worshipped the female figure, it dates from the Stone Age times, about 30,000 years ago.

This predates the cult for Venus which is why we know that it is only a nickname. The patriarchy was well established by the year 1908, so it comes as no surprise that they didn’t want to name her Inanna or Ishtar, Goddesses who date to the times where the Goddess of Love and Fertility was also the Goddess of War and Progress.

This is a tribute to the Goddess, because in this space, we believe that we all are Godesses and Gods inside, and if we truly want to feed that female creative and intuitive energy -that ANIMA that lives within, we need to start from acknowledging our origins, we need to go tap back into our the wild side of our soul.

Hecate, the Goddess of the Night, the Moon, Magick, Witchcraft, Sorcery, Ghosts and Necromancy -also associated with Venus due to her twin torches, for ancient Greeks both torches represented the planet’s dual phases; “Venus, the Morning Star” and the “Evening Star”. She also bares a dagger -sacrifice, a wand -intention, and a key -knowledge.

Her name means “worker from afar”, which for a while, was a common slur for mystics in ancient Greece. Because of the nature of her power, Hecate has always been associated with darkness and the occult, giving her an unfair bad reputation considering that she was the warrior Goddess chosen by Zeus to rescue Persephone when she was kept in captivity by Hades in the Underworld.

Hecate is all about duality, which is why most of her elements are dual, this is why she is generally depicted with two wolves or two dogs, representing Discipline and Wildhood.

On that note, I invite all of us to show up, do the work and stay wild.

Hail Hecate! 🐍🐺🐺

The Seal of Lions

Originated in the “Circumpunct” (The Symbol of The Sun) -like all of our energy and 99.55% of the Elements that build our Solar System, coming directly from the center of the Sun’s nucleus- grounded over the “Globus Cruciger” (The Symbol of Planet Earth), guided by each of The Four Elements and divided by The Four Cardinal Points. Immediately blessed by Jupiter’s expansive and protective energy and enhanced by the energy of our celestial deities. My intention is set out to the cosmos, contained under the protection of each Ruler of the 12 Houses.

The Sphinx, a representation of the Egyptian Sun God Horus, reason why they were generally carved or placed facing the Horizon, to the East, where the Sun is born every morning. For the Greeks this entity who had the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and owl wings used to represent a decision to make, a mental challenge, a riddle.

In Greek Mythology, the Sphinx is a challenging entity that will manifest herself as a gatekeeper of your intention; her lore suggested that she will present you with a riddle to validate your skill, knowledge, preparation and purpose. Whoever failed to solve the riddle, she would immediately slain and devour, if you were worthy of your intention, then you may carry on and be blessed with her protection.

Some say the Egyptians also believed in a similar lore, reason why she’s located before the ancient secrets kept in the pyramids, only to be unveiled by those who are worthy and their intentions are pure.

Are you worthy of your intention? How hard do you want it?
