The Easter Season and the New Year

A blessed Nativity for all

Janya

We wish all our readers a happy and blessed Nativity. May your faith and joy be enriched through the coming year. The Birth of the Daughter is a universal Event that in one sense took place "before" time as we know it. In another sense it takes place constantly and sustains the universe in being. Both these things are hard for a time-bound being to grasp, and so – as in all such things – Dea has given us other ways to see it. We can see it as taking place annually, as part of the Cycle of the Year, and this is the way it manifests for us on this world.

The Lady of Heaven is Born

Best wishes for Nativity!

After the star brings the children of earth to the cave where the Daughter is born, and the princesses present their gifts, a beautiful voice fills the air, saying:

Her Name shall be called Inanna
For She shall be Lady of Heaven

And the star vanished from the sky and yet its light remained. And the shape of the light became a vision. And the vision was a vision of the Mistress of All Things, bearing in Her arms the Holy Child.
