theme threads in 3 liturgies

To view the progression of the themes of last three Goddess Festival liturgies, in order to see the threads connecting these annual experiences, visit the blogs associated with them:.

2006 - The Descent of the White Eagle: http://descentofthewhiteeagle.blogspot.com
2007 - The Creation of Life Forms: http://creationoflifeforms.blogspot.com

2008 - Now we come to 2008's liturgy, "Eye of Vision".

The Oracle at the beginning talks about three kinds of Vision The Eye of Vision, Light and Truth. Brigid appears to an old woman, Mary, telling her that the Goddess is coming again. Mary becomes a poet of the Goddess. There are accounts of several visions people have had of the Goddess appearing to them.

So far, the people participating in this liturgy have encountered a lot of chaos. Very basic things like settling on a place to hold the Festival have been difficult to coordinate: there seem to always be unexpected, unforeseen things coming up that change the plan and make the going difficult.

I am realizing that "Eye of Vision" is saying that the new world, the world of the Goddess/Divine Feminine, is here now. The old world which was destroyed (see "White Eagle") went to regenerate in the womb of Night/Nuit/Naut (see"Life Forms") Now in "Eye of Vision" we are having our first visions of the new world of the Goddess.

The visionary journey in "Eye of Vision", exemplified by the learning of the Candidate, is that there is no need to lament loss, because all that is good is really eternal; that we create our own future; and that Truth is the only real basis from which to create anything. This shows us how we can create a greater internal realization and external manifestation of the new Goddess world.
