Goddess gathering

last night I went to a Goddess gathering, what fun! don't you think, it is amazing how sometimes, things are just meant to be? we think it is a co-incidence when things happen in a certain way - but I believe there is no such things as coincidences - it is synchronicity.

anyhow, 'bout last night ~ the goddess that we celebrated was Bast - the goddess who encourages us to have fun, to play, create, to nurture our inner child. hmm - now was that for me? of course! things must have been moved quickly in Heaven, as the co-ordinator only just decided the day before to make this a fun night, rather than a sacred ceremony as usual. and I wasn't going to go til the last minute.

the first part of the night we spent outside - playing games. Games from our childhood - like charades and pass the parcel. Then we had to close our eyes and dip our hands into a box - each of us received a magic faery ring that can grant us any emotion we wish - then we had to cast our own magic circle & fill it with whatever we wanted to - mine was a golden circle, with crystals all around and it was filled with pink bubbles. Once our circle was complete, we had to fill it with our desired emotions - mine was joy, happiness & spontaneity. Then we stepped into the circle and absorbed those emotions. we then had to take the circle and place it inside of us - to be used whenever we feel the need. what a great idea!

next we had sparklers and we drew our names and desires and we played as we did as children. we giggled incessantly as little girls do.

next, we went inside - for the actual ceremony and the room was decorated all pink and faery like, just like when we were little girls - and we got to share our thoughts. We were asked when was the last time we had fun and we talked about our childhood - digging deep to find our childhood fun times - oh it was so good for me. So healing. I remembered all my birthday parties, the family picnics, our Christmas celebrations and all the other fun things that my parents did with us. We cried. We talked about my doldrums the past week & I was stunned that most of the ladies there had similar experiences as children. It made me feel ok. It made me realize that yes, some sad times happened to me as a child but I was not the only one who had a 'difficult' childhood . It made me realize that there were more good than sad times and it made me realize it is ok to talk about them and hurt but not to hold onto them. so we did a clearing meditation.

then we played with playdough and got lolly bags!

I had such fun, such healing & I feel blessed that the Universe sent me this help so soon.

I feel that my sacral chakra is alot more in balance after last night. I feel wonderfully happy! do you ever think I may be manic depressive? I often wonder if I am, but not so says the Dr. Be easy on yourself she says.
