Alchemy of Sekhmet
-->
“… you ascend to the
sovereign sun, to the temple of Ra. It is a golden temple with lions at the
gates. You see the presiding Goddess - it is Sekhmet. She is crowned with the
sun and sends out a glorious energy. It is the golden light that nourishes the
earth. She asks you to help the earth. You want to know how to help the earth
and all creatures upon it. … You feel a glow, an energy within your solar
plexus and heart, you see the inner star, the immortal essence in all that is,
feel it shine forth within you, as the Daughters and Sons of Ra … you can face
evil and turn it into good … that is the true alchemy of Sekhmet.” ~ Olivia
Robertson, excerpt, transcript, guided journey, Isis Oasis, 2008

And by Attunement Around the World
Members may wish to light a
candle, some incense, and join in attunement, or at a time suitable to them, on
the evening of 13th April, with reading the oracle of Hertha aloud
from one of Olivia’s oldest Liturgy books, “Urania, Ceremonial Magic of the
Goddess.” Meditate and share any insights. Have a drink and some cake for
afterwards.
Earth
Magic of Transformation
Oracle of the Goddess Hertha
Whenever
the longing heart turns to the Mother, there I take up My abode. I am the
Hearth Fire, the Heart of Life, and the secure earth that is your home. And
this My hearth is one, and yet manifest throughout the galaxies. Honour your
home, the earth, not for its greatness, but for its littleness. For in this
matrix is your protection.
Be as
My children the animals, the birds and the plants. For they die not but live
forever in My everlasting home. Their existence of birth and struggle and death
are to them but dreams. Only humans believe they die. And through this delusion
they suffer.
Turn
to My deeps and you will find My jewels. These many coloured gems are concealed
in your own bodies. My rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds glow in your red Tree of
Life: My veins of Gold and Silver flow in your blood: My Poles of Balance are
fixed within your bones. Turn to your roots. Despise not touch nor smell nor
taste. These bring you into communion with Me and with all My children. Know Me
as the Earth Mother Who bringeth forth all things that breathe and move and
have their being. My Body holds all the elements. So My children are of My
substance. I am in them all. And I am Immortal.
