For those of us who believe in our Mother in Heaven, Mother Earth, the Holy Ghost as feminine and other Christian interpretations of the Divine Feminine it can often feel intimidating to share or talk about our beliefs.
While we don’t believe personal salvation is dependant on knowledge of Her quality andwe do understand that having our Great Mother in our lives adds to the support we find in Deity.
We also recognize the desperate state of affairs in how our globe is treating the earth and that knowledge of the Earth as a wild, living, being can be one step in cultivating sustainable and peaceful practices, insuring that both the earth and Her human children are around for a long time to come.
Here are some ideas of how to bring Her radiance into light, everyday
• Make a list of scriptures that relate to our Mother in Heaven, see the Heavenly Mother Maidens Blogroll for ideas. You can work these into conversations when sharing your favorite scriptures.
• Pray every day for the strength to hold space for you beliefs when someone speaks to you in a pushy way.
• Pray with your children every morning and evening that they may remember Her in their daily activities
• Every month memorize a prayer or chant to the Divine Feminine or create your own. Say it often, especially when feeling frustrated, do this in front of other people!
• Carry copies of “The Divine Feminine, the Biblical Image of God as Female“, and give it away when you can
• Read the Bible every day, while looking for Her
• Always pray at meal time, include Her in the prayer. Our favorite is “Give thanks to the Mother Earth, give thanks for the Father Sun, give thanks for the rain in the garden where, the Mother and the Father are one.”
• Get a Goddess themed calendar or planner (we like We’moon) and hang it at home, the office, etc.
• Remember you are an example of Her! Be clean, well groomed, respectful, lady like (or gentlemanly). Practice patience, kindness and humility. If you’re a woman show the example of the Divine Feminine on earth, honor your calling as a mother. If you’re a man treat women with love and respect, do not speak unkindly of them.
• Tell children’s stories from “Circle Round” to your kids when you are waiting in line, at the doctors office, etc.
• Get a CD of Goddess music or the soundtrack to “Circle Round” and play it in your home and in your car.
• When other people complain about their mother, sister, grandmother, etc. share with them how seeing the Feminine face of God has helped you respect the women in your life more and get along with them better.
- Define yourself. I know this can be hard and you may struggle against this one but you need to have an intriguing answer when people ask you; “What are you?” An idea is to place words like “Nature-based” or “Goddess worshiping” in front of traditional labels like Christian, Mormon or Catholic.
Remember the two most important things are to live a life which is a good example of Her love for us and always hold your head up and speak of your beliefs with confidence!
