Self Love Altarcreated in cyber space by the Priestess Leesa
LOVE Altar For the
goddess in you.
The altar I've created is to
invoke self love.
To dedicate ourselves to our authentic self which is our
essence.
Guidelines for creating your own Love Altar:
East -
Flames from many candles to
illuminate your path. Flames from red candles to
spark a passion for for life, and a deep love of self. Fire representing Divine
inspiration. Fire blessings you with energy.and vitality.
South -
Roses fragrant and in full
bloom. Red roses just for you. A love letter from your
authentic self so you may accept and respect your self just as you
are. A
symbol to represent your open heart and willingness to be adored.
West
-
Pomegranates full and ripe
representing the sacred seeds within you. Abundant red fruit that you
may taste the sweetness of life, that you may enjoy health. The Goddess with arms
uplifted in gratitude for many blessings.
North -
Rare red butterfly
representing connection to the earth mother, your sistars, to sacred blood.
Books
represent an adventurous spirit, being open to change, to infinite
possibilities. A symbol of wisdom, being
receptive to the spirit of creativity and to the Divine.
Center -
Golden bowl to hold your
deepest dreams and wishes. Bowls represent your
ability to hold and share energies. Golden bowl, sacred
chalice: drink and be purified, be cleansed of fear, of doubt, of worry.
Ritual: Self Love
Stand before your
consecrated altar, the one you just created.
Stare into the flickering
flames and imagine this holy fire igniting your passion, your motivation, your
will to act in ways that support your dreams and goals. Visualize what you wish
to manifest. See your spirit shine bright.
Gather a rose in you hand and
bring it to your face. Breathe deeply of its fragrance. Brush its tender petals
across your lips and feel the softness of love. Listen to your heart beat, and
acknowledge your beauty, your value and your expression in this life. In this
way, be gentle with your emotions. Open and feel utterly adored.
Take a
bite of fruit, allow its juices to delight you. Welcome the sweetness into your
being. Embrace the energies given for sustenance and health. Ask the Goddess
within you to reveal Herself. Feel Her power.
Follow the example of the
butterfly and allow your transformation to begin. Speak the truth and wisdom
your higher self, your authentic self, your own unique expression; the Divine
wants for you to believe in your truth.. Affirm you are love. Affirm you are
beautiful. Affirm you are wise. Affirm you are whole. Keep your thoughts
positive.
Pour wine or water into the bowl/chalice and drink deeply. With
gratitude and self respect give thanks for being you! Give thanks for your life,
your ability to choose, and your sacred journey. Breathe in Love.
Be.
Wrap your arms about your body and embrace the wonder of you.
Know that love is your birthright. Dance.
''Love's reflection come to me, give me wings. As I will, so mote it be.''

An Interview with a Goddess
Fran at
age 16.
FranBeth Pilgreen
As if described in a fairy tale, Fran has long
rivers of flowing hair, intense, soulful eyes the shade of a forest glen and an
air about her that is reminiscent of a summer meadow. Something about her
essence is delicate and fae, and yet, she is perhaps the bravest woman I know.
She lives her life of adventure with grace and a flair for subtle
beauty that opens the space for others to linger often. Her travels have taught
her well, expanded her soul vision and polished this gem of a woman until she
shines! With a gentle, playful spirit, Fran reminds me that even heart break can
be experienced with a passion for life, an expectancy of wonder, and an honest
integrity which not only allows you to grow, but to blossom as if you've only
ever been showered with love. It is my hope that you are blessed by
this interview with a goddess.
5 Questions I ask of the Goddess in You:
1. How do
you nurture & nourish your self so that you may embody the goddess?
With a Rainbow Diet: I am at my happiest when there are
rainbows in my life. I thrive on color in my visual field and in my personal
consumption and nourishment. I have recently discovered a personal favorite,
roasted produce; sweet potato, eggplant, butternut squash, garlic,
red-yellow-orange bell peppers, carrots, minimal white carbs and dairy. I prefer
a raw diet wherever possible, minimal use of animal protein. No red meat. A
cornucopia of fruits, seeds, nuts, quinoa. Use of natural sweeteners honey or
agave syrup. Naturally sun dried fruits whenever possible. Herbal teas, green,
black and white teas, (Ceylon is my favorite) natural juices, Ginger tonics. The
use of organic garden made skin care products made with love from Sanandra of
Sea Chi.. Flower essences by Jane Marrow Innman. Frequent dead sea salt baths
for ultimate relaxation and spiritual enlightenment. Bathing in green and white
tea for healing properties to skin and rejuvenation of my goddess hair. Use of
natural sea water as a healing aid.. Member of Massage Envy where I treat myself
to a monthly massage. Walking around the lake at sunrise. Experiencing natural
elements when they stand before me in all their glory. Forgiving myself for
losing my soulmate in life. Allowing self-healing to take its course so that I
am able to rebirth the essence that is me, so that I have the strength to plant
a completely new organically divine garden, even more fruitful than my
last.
2. What
inspires you and expands your awareness?
Nature. Whispering Wind. Touch.
Sound.
Connecting with spirit, guardian angels, and spirit guides,
while living in gratitude for the warmth and guidance I am shown daily. Having
gracious acceptance of the shortcomings of mankind, and forgiving of trespasses,
including my own. Allowing myself to be a conduit for information but not a
vessel. Giving of myself completely to those souls that cross my physical path.
Feeling a deep sense of connection to universal consciousness. Inspired by other
goddesses and spiritual gurus. Nature is my ultimate source of inspiration.
Recently inspired by the Agape Center, Marianne Williamson, my soul sistars, my
healing friends, and the endless flow of serendipity in my life. Acceptance and
strengthening the reality of living an independent life in the absence of my
twin flame and eternal soulmate. Being kissed by the suns warm energy. Daily
inspiration from the internet information highway. Spiritual Cinema Circle
movies- which fill my heart with joy every month. Reading or listening to
transformational self help topics. Listening to the rhythmic sounds of the waves
and sea life as I close my eyes and embrace my soul's sense of just
listening-being.

3. Please
share what poem, quote, song, or book both breaks & opens your heart?
Book:
Clan of the Cave Bear Series by Jean M.
Auel
The
book that has broken and open my heart is Jean M Auel's 'Clan of the Cave Bear',
as I identify personally with the main character Ayla as she goes through and
overcomes great personal loss, is taken in and then outcast, and then is able
through being true to her spirit, universal awareness and connection, to be able
to: Not
only persevere but to have great triumph.
Poem:
by my Soul-Sister Tina Marks
'Mirror
in the Snow' (c 2005) resonates deep within my soul.
My
dear soul-sister shared it with me years ago, and it immediately resonated like
a self-reflection. It filled my spirit on such a deep level that it remains home
in my heart.
Mirror
in the snow
The
gift of inspiration for this imagery was received on a dark, cold, snowy
February morning. Preoccupied with the typical morning routine and haste, I
vaguely noticed something in the snow-covered grass and paused to get a closer
look. To my surprise, I found a single, tiny flower bud peering out from beneath
the white blanket. I stopped…and sat down on the step, instinctively responding
to my discovery and to the present moment….
In
the prelude to dawn, all was still and quiet on the Earth. The air was crisp and
gentle. And there…. behind the mist of my own breath, the subtle silhouette of
my little flower, standing ever-so-strong and uninhibited in the moonlight. I
focused quite intently on capturing every detail of those few moments….It seemed
as though time briefly stood still...and throughout all the ensuing activities
of that day, my thoughts repeatedly returned to my little flower…
Take
a moment to imagine that you are the tiny flower bud.
Silent
and still in the darkness of early morning.
As
dawn approaches and awakening begins, inhale and reach deep into the Earth,
drawing nourishment in through your feet….your roots…and allowing this food to
satisfy and slowly arouse every cell of the body, flowing throughout…. all the
way to the tips of each shiny green, newborn leaf….
Say
to yourself….I will never hunger.
There
is enough food.
Feel
the pure, white snowflakes gently descend upon you and surround you. Fresh,
clean, water droplets softly coming to rest….trickling over your leaves, your
physical body….
Take
a drink…. absorb…..allow the fresh liquid to gently seep through your veins and
downward through your roots….visualize the gradual flow….slowly saturating the
body and then at last sinking to its resting place, deep within the Earth
below.
Say
to yourself…I will never thirst.
There
is enough water.
As
the sun arises and greets the new day, picture its glowing presence, naturally
suspended above the Earth. Imagine your head rising and tilting back slightly,
fully experiencing and enjoying the warmth enveloping your entire being. Your
leaves begin to open, reaching toward the sky, eager to receive the prana
awaiting you….the vital nutrients necessary to grow and thrive.
Say
to yourself…..I will not be depleted.
There
is enough sunlight and energy.
Nightfall
beckons….the winds begin to swirl…the night sky dimly illuminated with millions
of stars, each of its own unique size and intensity. No two the same. Consider
the vastness of the galaxies and heavens. There is no beginning….and no end. You
are the tiny flower, firmly centered and grounded in the Earth. Visualize the
space surrounding you…your aura… protecting and exuding the life force within.
The wind sporadically encircles you. Your leaves uniting with the air….flowing
freely, bending and swaying with grace and ease…..at times softly sweeping the
Earth with your fingertips. As tranquility evolves, you gently lower your
head…leaves caressing and folding over you, providing warmth and shelter. You
are the tiny flower….free…at peace…resting…
Say
to yourself….I am one with the heavens and the Earth.
There
is enough air and space.
With
each new day, you rise, with renewed strength….patiently awaiting the
anticipated time and season….keenly aware and accepting of the cycle of
life….confident in your purpose…willing and eager to adorn the world with your
inner beauty….to share your bloom…..to celebrate new life….
Say
to yourself….I am the tiny flower.
What
color might you be?

Hard Part by David Wilcox and John
WhalenWashes
over me like the cascading ebb and flow of the ocean's foamy wave exhale that
laps upon, kisses, and gently caresses the shoreline.
Hard
Part:(David
Wilcox and John Whalen)I
see the look that's in your eyesThat
says 'I must keep most of me inside'Cause
you'd never love me if I didn't hidethe
secrets of my heart Well
I'm not here for the surface stuffI
just get bored with all that fluffSo
show me the edges even if it's roughAnd
let the real love start You
think your shame and deep disgrace Are
more than I can bearBut
you can go to your darkest placeI
will meet you there And
I'm strong enough to take itAnd
I know what you've been throughYou've
got a whole heartGive
me the hard partI
can love that too You
look at me with some surpriseAnd
I see the doubt that's in your eyesLike
something deep inside you criesWith
a hunger to be knownLike
a tiger born in a city zooThere's
been no place for what's inside of youYou
try to live like the others doAnd
it leaves you so aloneI
know you think that the heat of your painIs
more than I can stand Burn
it all in one big flame And
I will hold it in my handI'm
strong enough to take itAnd
I know what you've been throughYou've
got a whole heartGive
me the hard partI
can love that too Now
your eyes well up with tearsAs
desire mixes with you fearsAfter
so many wounded yearsCan
you long for what you've missedYou
want a cool breeze to dance with your flameA
long lost lover who knows your true nameA
secret garden beyond this shameAnd
it all comes down to this You
think your drowning hope will dieIn
a sea without a shoreBut
I can drink that ocean dry And
still come back for moreI'm
strong enough to take itAnd
I know what you've been throughYou've
got a whole heartGive
me the hard partI
can love that too I'm
strong enough to take itAnd
I know what you've been throughYou've
got a whole heartGive
me the hard partI
can love that too You've
got a whole heartGive
me the hard partI
can love that too2006 Gizz Da Baboo (SESAC) 4. What
truth do you live by that brings you back to your center, your place of
balance? "Less is more." I have discovered that personal chaos in
the form of clutter and procrastination have been historically and consistently
the items that have created great havoc in my life, including even the demise of
my 25 year marriage. I am truly a living dust devil, in the sense that I have a
life force that stirs things up a bit when I drive my focus in a particular
direction, picking up and adding to the chaos as I will have typically arrived
at a location to find an item previously lost in the shuffle. I have done a
substantial amount of soul healing and clearing recently. From Conscious
Uncoupling coaching sessions to registering for a clutterology course. My life
has been turned upside DOWN and insideOUT. I have discovered that the secret to
having ULTIMATE BALANCE in LIFE is by first and foremost taking care of
yourself. Breathing passion into every aspect of your being. By so doing this,
you are HERE NOW! And in that place in time, you will experience the ultimate
balance, your ULTIMATE CENTER. 5. What are
you creating now that may inspire your sistars? I
am writing a book 365 Dates a Year. About how I am rekindling my free
spiritedness, fun and love again. In the book I will share my personal journey,
experience and guidance on fulfilling our internal desires. Through personal
soul connections with like minded beings, and how to reel them
in.
I am also dreaming into existence a self-powering
architectural world where we can live in harmony with the earth by using fewer
non-renewable natural resources. With my eye on designing vacation resorts and
Eco Villages. I started an architectural grad prep class last night, and am
applying to the New School of Architecture San Diego Masters program with
emphasis in sustainability.
Please
share a personal blessing for my readers as closing to this
interview.Heavenly mother and father, thank you for the wonderful
gifts in our lives with your presence. Thank you for leading us on a stepping
stone path of discovery, learning, and enlightenment. Each stepping stone
reveals a worthy lesson. With a completely open mind, each step can be
accomplished with grace-joy-fulfillment. I feel truly blessed we have these
stones to step on, and I welcome you to join me and FEEL the love and warmth of
god/desses hand in our own, as we walk through the valley of light, love,
and peace. And so it is, Amen. Bio: Fran

3 January 2012 Tuesday
Greetings Sistars.
It's a Bright New Year! The first month of
the year is full of mixed
emotions and energies. As we clear
out the old and organize our
lives to create sacred space for new
beginnings, let's remember to
take time to rest, renew and nurture ourselves in these first few
weeks and contemplate the vast possibilities awaiting each of us.
I am pleased to share the fourth issue of
the Goddess of the Gypsy
Moon
newsletter. As you read the few highlights below, please remember
you can find the entire newsletter by
following the links attached.
If you wish to go directly there NOW, here's
the path to follow....
http://goddessofthegypsymoonnewsletter.blogspot.com/
January is
the Wolf Moon
Rest/Renew/Nourish
January is the 1st month.
In numerology the number
one signifies great power. It
represents the foundation
upon which all things begin,
indicating unity, as all things
are really one thing:
'energy'.
A word to the wise:
"Allow this
strong energy to assist you
in finding clarity within,
nurturing your body
and spirit,
dreaming illusion
into matter,
as this is an excellent
time to start new
projects."
January is the
doorway of the
year. It is named after Janus,
the god of doorways and for
Ianuarius, a Saxon term Wulf-
monath which means Wolf-
mouth. The Latin word
for
"door" is ianua.
This is a conflicting
time of
duality, as the energies
stress
the need for hibernation as well
as emergence from deep with-
drawal. It is therefore
beneficial to open all the
doorways
of our psyche:
Reclaim the wisdom from
past experiences to seize with
boldness and grace the
expanding potential
awaiting. Holy

An Interview with a
Goddess: 
Marial DreamwalkerMari is my dear sister of the Red Rose. She is a
beautiful kindred spirit whose soul sings the truth of love. She is a profoundly wise woman,
psychic and empath. Her voice is naked in its expression of the depth of being,
the honesty of both pain and joy. She writes music and
lyrics
and she sings with
purity and grace. I imagine her on stage amid soft lights, the darkened room
silenced by her presence ...spellbound by the vision of her wearing the
slinkiest of red dresses. She
is also a very talented artist. She paints canvas with vibrant colours and
evocative imagery.
Her
courage is great. Her message is soulful. I am honored to offer this interview
with a goddess.
5
Questions I ask of the Goddess in You:
1. How do you nurture &
nourish your self so that you may embody the goddess?
I spend a lot
of time in prayer, while walking and I do a lot of magical and healing work at
my altar. Also, singing; I sing all the time. I sing while walking, I sing to
the cows and horses in the neighborhood and to anyone else who will listen.
Singing brings me pure joy and moves me into an ecstatic space. The most
self-nourishing thing I do for myself is to give Reiki attunements
to others. I witness how
the energy alters and aligns them with a deeper awareness of Divinity; it makes
them feel how sacred they are and this is very rewarding for me. Reiki is an
essential part of my spiritual life path. It is a powerful reciprocal way of
being in the world. I am very passionate about sharing it with others. Someone
will ask me about Reiki and instead of trying to explain it, I just give them an
attunement so they can experience it for themselves. They are always amazed at
how sacred an experience it is. I am always talking about Reiki with people I
meet and if they sit still long enough, they will get an attunement from me.
2. What inspires you and
expands your awareness? Youth inspire me. I have worked with at-risk youth
since 2003. I have learned so much from them. They are survivors, because they
are strong, but more so, because they are resilient and continue to love when
oftentimes, they have not been shown love. The world is a much more complicated
place now, and sometimes it can seem so dark for youth. They do not feel
understood, or loved much of the time. It was a privilege to sit with them, to
teach them, to share their heartaches and to learn from them. I still have
several students I am in touch with. They are amazing beings. They are the last
of the Indigo Children. They are here to teach us how to face our pain and heal
it. I love them! My song, “The Cut” is inspired by my experience with wonderful
young people. The “cut” speaks to the place inside all of us where we ‘cut’
ourselves; injure ourselves. It is often a secret and shameful. The song wants
to bring this to the light and remind us that we are divine
beings.
3. Please share what poem,
quote, song, or book both breaks & opens your heart? Beloved, by Toni Morrison is my absolute
favorite book on the planet. It is so deep and speaks to me on so many levels.
The character Beloved is a ghost who was killed as an infant by her mother to
save her from slavery. This is a terrible sacrifice for someone to have to make.
Yet, on another level, it is a lesson of our shadow selves. It speaks to the
dark places inside of us that needs to be loved; the part of us that is violent
or self-destructive, or that allows ourselves to be abused by others. This book
has been a great teacher for me. We must end the violence within our minds, our
hearts and against our bodies. This book moves me to be gentle with myself and
to watch how I treat myself and others.
4. What truth do you live by
that brings you back to your center, your place of balance?
We are all
Spirit Beings. We are made of light. We are Divine. We have chosen this earth
experience to learn to be fully human, which is a beautiful thing. Some people
are not aware of this, or have forgotten this truth. This awareness keeps me in
compassion, which keeps me in balance. I pray and meditate on peace and ending
violence in the world. This is my goal. To continue to heal this in myself and
to help others heal violence within themselves. I believe, as my Native American
culture teaches that no one is truly free, until all being are free. We are One
and we live as a unified beingness together. The idea that we are separate is an
illusion, which creates a sense of isolation and fear, which causes us to hurt
one another. I think Jennifer Berizen’s video*, “In These Arms” is a beautiful
illustration of the power of gentleness, compassion and love.
5. What are you creating now
that may inspire your sistars?
I just
completed my first EP, which is a CD of six songs. The title is Light
and Roses. It is a dream come true for me to complete this project. I
have been working on it in one way or another for the last 15 years. The timing
was not right, or the people I was working with didn’t work out, or didn't share
my vision. The Goddess opened a door to help me find an amazing producer who was
able to really listen to my vision and help me create my music. The songs are
all related to various Goddesses and speak of different experiences I have had
with them. The single, I just released is, “Bless Me.” It speaks of a time when
I felt alone and I called out to Her for help, for love. There is another song
called Raven Woman. Raven Woman is a powerful presence who has protected me
throughout my life. Please share a personal
blessing for my readers as closing to this interview.
May you walk
gently, with peace through your sacred interior,
within the grace of light and shadow.
May you see the beauty of
your soul in the eyes of all you meet.
May your heart be opened by the fire of the
sun, and may you love fiercely.Bio:Mari Dreamwalker is a
fourth generation priestess in her Mexican Native-American tradition. She is a
Reiki Master Teacher and holds a Masters of Arts in Women’s Spirituality. She
has been teaching spiritual development and Reiki for over 20 years. She is a
painter, writer and a singer/songwriter. She loves walking along rivers and
singing to the mountains, and when the moon permits it, she enjoys a circle
dance with the Fae.Mari
