Reader Comment – demons in the modern world
This is more of a simple point in an area of interest of mine: the "paranormal". Now, I don't dally in it, myself (thats just dangerous!), but I do watch documentaries and read stories. I have just this minute been watching a documentary I have on a disk, and a very interesting point on demonic infestation came up.
It was said that a demon's sole goal is to destroy all [maid]kind. This point was also followed by another: that in a demonic haunting, the diabolical entity begins this task by destroying the family unit, by tearing it apart.
In this age of conflict, nothing could be closer to the truth: this is an age where nearly all that is good is twisted and made to appear undesirable, and what is wrong is made to seem desirable. Among those good things is the concept of family and dependence. Family units are encouraged to go their own ways, to separate, to be "independent" of one another. This story of diabolical haunting seems to be a small-scale case of what is happening in the modern world this very day. The forces of darkness are at work, pulling apart the harmonious bonds of love and interdependence in their efforts to destroy maid altogether.
Just as in the documentary I watch now, the only way to fight this demonic influence is by reasserting the bond of family and the principle of Love. Unfortunately, most don't understand that message, and the central reason for this is because of the vilification and trivialization of faith. People don't believe in fundamental Good -- nor to they believe in fundamental Evil. Could there be a greater tragedy?
Let us pray that someday soon this grave situation is remedied.

Thank you for this very insightful comment. Indeed it is true that in the current world demonic activity on the "macro" level, affecting the whole society is more significant than such activity on the "micro" level, affecting individuals and families one by one. It is one reason why those of us who resist the demonic pattern of the overall society are often more subject to attacks from the Forces of Darkness. To them we are "escapees" or "pockets of resistance" to their overall domination. But in the end darkness cannot overcome light.

Thank you for your excellent explication of the concept of Anima Mundi. The threefold constitution of the cosmos and of the jiva as microcosm is of course a central teaching of the perennial philosophy.
Sri Lalita Herself is named Tripura Sundari, the "beauty of the three cities (worlds or selves)".
Dear loving friends,I wanted to comment on your great website.I myself am Jewish and I am a great believer in the Divine feminine alongside the God of Fathers and Mothers.I am not Filiyanic but I love the great wealth of Goddess knowledge you afford to all women of all faiths. I am also a straight woman as well with a lesbian daughter and granddaughter.I like the comment of the YouTube about the beliefs coming out of the 60's with neo-paganism.I am learning about the Mother in my own life and faith-The Shekinah-Shabbat-Sofia.I do however believe in both Genders for God as Father and Mother God both equal.The Goddess is becoming more a part of my life and I am really learning a lot on your site. Can you explain to me what Filiyanic means compared to the other terms you relate to in other faiths? In my language and faith Abba and Ima bless you and your wonderful site. Malka Miller. Thank you for your kind appreciation. The term Fliyanic, or Filianic refers to those devotees of Our Mother God who adhere to the Mythos of God the Daughter. The exact beliefs of the Filyani, or Filianists are outlined in the Filianic Creed.

Why Advent Comes So Soon!
From a recent blog post:
We had a lovely Eve of Advent Service on Rayadi, and Honored Raya in her sermon explained something I have never understood. Why does Advent come so suddenly? Because it does, doesn’t it? Every year, even though some shops have had Nativity displays since the Feast of the Dead, we suddenly think “Golly-gosh-oh-greenies, is it Advent already?
Well there really is a spiritual reason for that. I don’t know if I can explain it as well as Honored Raya, but essentially it is because Nativity, the Winter Solstice, really is the Northern Gate of the Year, where Heaven enters the realm of earth – and the birth of God the Daughter really is a Mystery and an apparent paradox (Dea coming where Dea is not). So the Coming of the Daughter really is a “surprise” in the deepest spiritual sense, and, as superficial things metaphysically reflect deep things, the Advent always tends to take us by surprise.

The Advent of the Nativity of God the Daughter
In the Filianic Calendar, Astraea 1st (Nov. 28) is the first day of the one-month Advent period leading up to the Nativity of God the Daughter on the last day of the month. We decorate the house in anticipation of the coming of the Divine Light in the darkest part of the year.
There is no historical reason whatever for placing the birth of Jesus at the Winter solstice. So what is the truth behind "Christmas"?
It is this.

Goldenhead Now Available
Annalinde Matichei's new book Goldenhead has launched. This follows her widely acclaimed book The Flight of the Silver Vixen.
Goldenhead, while not a religious book, is set in an all-feminine reality with priestesses who serve Our Mother God and are revered by all. It is a story of the conflict between Good and Evil in a fundamentally Deanic context.
It is also a much more "fantastical" book than Silver Vixen (which was mostly "science fiction" albeit with a feminine twist). It considers such subjects as the limits of imagination, the reality of "imaginary" friends and worlds, and is very much a book for those who do not feel at home in the modern patriarchal world and believe they truly belong somewhere else.
A profoundly imaginative book (as is fitting for this Year of Sai Candre), expect to encounter some unexpected and challenging ideas - such as whether the anime style actually represents a mode of reality - as well as encounters with tree-spirits, the sorcerous power of music, and battles with demons who are the very incarnation of darkness.
The Flight of the Silver Vixen was hailed by one critic as "this rare and exhilarating book". Goldenhead pursues themes even rarer in a manner even more exhilarating.
Goldenhead is currently available only as a virtual book on the Amazon Kindle (paperback to follow), but readers are reminded that a free Kindle reader is available for Windows and Macintosh computers, as well as most mobile devices, and that digital realease allows the book to be sold for only 2.99.
