A Hymn to the Divine Mother in Prose

And why Her protection is so badly needed, especially for rash, stubborn, and at times ignorant warriors like me

"There is no God but your own soul."

Christina Marvel

"People are amazing; let them figure out their own amazingness. even if they are in ignorance."

Christina Marvel

Maybe it IS finally time.

to get your own house in order

or repair it.

or move.

Or tear it down and rebuild it if it is beyond repair

or do whatever else is required

looking deeply into and at that which you do not wish to look at.

Because it would make you uncomfortable

because it would hurt

because you have

"already dealt with it",

or have "transcended it"

or any other hogwash your mind tries to impose on you.

As much as navel-gazing or infinite healing with little actual result is not helpful…

Sometimes you DO need to revisit some chapter of your life.

that you are not so proud about,

or feel hurt,

or they just come up

for healing.

Whatever it is.

No matter how hard or inconvenient it may be

And you still do what you need to do,

chip wood, carry water,

serve your family, community, and the world at large.

AND

Take a break.

Breathe.

S

it

Turn off your phone and wifi if need be.

and SIT WITH IT

whatever it is.

And allow it to be as boring or unbearable and/or painful

or blissful

It needs to be.

You can't save someone who wants to drown.

and again is not a disease

Nor is death wrong.

It is, as She said: just an interesting point of view.

And in that moment you wanted to smash her face in for saying that.

For you deemed insensitive

and inappropriate,

and whatnot.

And perhaps it was not time for you to hear that…

But as another wise man said,

more of them actually:

Every trigger is gold.

It shows you painful points you still need to work at.

So in a sense: it is a gift,

but you will see it as an attack or a curse.

until you are ready,

to really look at it.

So little one,

This might be the time

for some actual soul-searching,

simple, but powerful alchemy.

Or just sitting,

and allowing,

and seeing what wants to come up,

and then hold it, heal it, transmute it, or just let it be,

whatever is required.

You can't skip and gloss over detail.

Not this time, little one.

Not this time.

Saturn is pretty clear on it.

and all the other planetary gods concur.

By all means : Ask for help, receive wise guidance,

and run under Her Mantle:

Mary, the untier of knots,

and welcome the cloak of the gentle bearded Saint…

And may the Crown of the Divine Mother,

Illuminate all the places you dare not even look at,

let alone go into.

For that is where the GOLD is

waiting for you to be

claimed.

Claim your birthright, little one,

and do whatever it takes,

one breath

one release

one Awareness

at

a

time.

Start yesterday, proceed today,

and keep GOING!

The only way is onwards,,

is

THROUGH!

Blast it open if you must,

but allow for other options too.

What if this time you do not have to make it be so hard

on your gentle, precious, bleeding

heart?

Sub tuum praesidium

configimus,

Sancta Dei Genetrix.

Nostras deprecationes ne despicias.

in necessitatibus,

sed a periculis cunctis

libera nos semper,

Virgo gloriosa et benedicta

Amen.
