Human Heritage and the Goddess





Deep in each human heart is a memory, a simple and powerful one. It is the memory of sanity. We are each the product of millions of years of evolution. We carry inside of us, many ancient knowings and understandings.

The rememberance of the Goddess is held in the hearts of humanity. She has begun to re-emerge.




The noise of the world around us often drowns out the simple whisper of human truths. You will hear these truths if you allow yourself to honor Nature and spend time quietly and without expectation. Sit under a tree and watch grass move in the breeze, or silently watch the ocean, or a lake, or a field of grain.

If you live in a city, or cannot get out, quietly watch a house plant as it breathes. Listen and do not judge what you hear, simply allow it to bubble up and reach the surface of your consciousness




Memories of our shared heritage often emerge through drumming, chanting or dancing. Even though you may have forgotten, the cells of your body remember these ancient truths.

Wisdom floats through the air on the the powerful rhythms of a drum beat. The sound opens your being. You need not practice, or be a musician, you have only to pick up a drum and begin. Your body will remember. . . . you are a human, it is part of you.






Creating your own sacred art

*

Honoring the Goddess in drumming, dance, chant and song should not be rehearsed, it should flow from you as an offering of your essence. It is not your skill that makes it powerful, it is your spirit.



A Remembering Chant

*

I sing to the Goddess

my voice is strong

I drum to the Goddess

an ancient song

*

I do not know the words

I simply make a sound

my hand strikes the drum

remembering an ancient sound

*

I dance to the Goddess

my feet upon the Earth

I sway to find the rhythm

of an ancient birth

*


I dance, I sing, I drum, I chant

the memories grow clear

I dance, I sing, I drum, I chant

and the Goddess is here





For re-membering, it is often helpful to light a candle and gaze into the flame. Firelight is as old as human history. When the flickering light of a candle is percieved by your brain, it opens passage ways and paths to long forgotten genetic memories.


See the memories dance and shine in the timeless light of a candle. Ancient memories waiting to be discovered by you.




We are our ancestors, their experiences and memories live within us. They are in our brains, in our cells, in our marrow, they are the sacred core of our very being. Reconnecting with these ancient memories fills one with a deep and unshakeable knowing. The powerful realization at a gut level, that all humanity, all life and all energy is connected in a magical web of inter-dependence.

We are all cells in the body of the Goddess, each unique, each with a special task, and special gifts. Knowing this at your core, brings peace, harmony and unimaginable joy.
