Thou fill'st from the

Thy lamp, O Memory,

MNEMOSYNE (pronounced ni-MAW-sin-ee) is the Greek Goddess of memory. She is the daughter of Gaia and Ouranos, and therefore one of the Titans. With her nephew Zeus, she is the mother of the nine Muses. Zeus lay with Mnemosyne for nine nights in a row, and a year later she bore their nine daughters--Kalliope, Kleio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsikhore, Thalia, and Ourania. Mnemosyne is also said to have invented language, giving names to all things, although this is also said to have been the invention of Hermes, God of travel, trade, and language.
Mnemosyne, in her rule over memory, played an important role at an oracle in Boeotia. Before consulting the oracle, initiates first drank from the pool of Lethe, Goddess of forgetfulness, to clear their minds of all preconceptions. They then drank from the pool of Mnemosyne, so that they would remember what they learned from the oracle. Similarly, those who had crossed over into Hades were given the choice of whether to drink from a spring of Mnemosyne and remember their lives, or to drink from the pool of Lethe and forget. Mnemosyne's name, which means "memory," is also seen as MNAMOSYNA, and the epithets GOLDEN-ROBED, FAIR-ROBED, and GENTLE-EYED were used to describe her.

"Umm-"
"Nope, umm's not good enough."
-Nora Roberts, Honest Illusions, 1993
I bellowed the magic words, "Uuuhhh, Uuuhhh."
-Raymond W. Baker, Capitalism's Achilles Heel, 2005Language has the power to reawaken vestiges of humankind's earliest communication-our ancient ancestors' savage cries of anger or love. All such cries were commands, "originally bound up with the act" and indeed inseparable to the primitive mind. When intoned without mockery, the primitive syllables of ooga-booga conjure the "primal oohs and ahs from cave men and women... in those early human settlements," or perhaps the mysterious, exotic powers of tribal elders (Helen Godgson and Patti Britton, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sensual Massage, 2003).
Ooga-Booga has a variety of meanings, including:
o God; higher power
"Great Ooga-Booga, can't you hear me talkin' to ya?" -The Temptations, quoted in Miles to Go by Chris Murphy (2002)
"[P]eople felt when they died their 'spirit' went to the great ooga-booga in the sky..." -SciForums.com (2003)
o Jungle native chant
-James Howard Kunstler, Geography Of Nowhere (1994)
o Mumbo-jumbo
"The stuff where you play the records backwards and it's got some sort of ooga-booga about the Devil on it." -Joe R. Lansdale, The Drive-In (1988)
o Nonsense
-Orson Scott Card, The Memory of Earth (1992)
o Occult; "otherworldly phenomena"
-Bernie Brillstein, Where Did I Go Right? (1999)
o Password
"After two rings, a voice spoke from the tiny handset. 'Ooga-booga? Boola-boola,' Tollhouse responded. 'Hubba-hubba!' came the gratified reply." -Harry Beard, The Dick Cheney Code: A Parody (2004)
o Primitivism
-Rick Steves, Rick Steves' London 2004 (2003)
o Ritual
-Alexandra Robbins, Secrets of the Tomb (2003)
o Spirituality
"[There is] a spiritual component-what I sometimes laughingly refer to as ooga-booga moments." -Ronna Lichtenberg, Pitch Like a Girl (2005)
o Spooky
"In desperation, soaps have started adding a lot of ooga-booga ghost storylines with voodoo, witchcraft, and, in the case of one, a Chucky-style creepy doll that comes to life." -Celia Rivenbark, We're Just Like You, Only Prettier (2004)
o Voodoo
"There were zombies in the building. Not ooga-booga magic-type zombies, but near enough." -Richard Fawkes, Nature of the Beast (2004)o Witchdoctor, head honcho
"Seems the Lord High Ooga-Booga wants to see you face-to-face 'fore he seals the deal." -Tom Clancy, Hidden Agendas (1999)
"[H]e was like a guru, or a witch doctor, or some kind of far-out ooga-booga man..." -Frank E. Peretti, This Present Darkness (1986)

With the failure of the crops, people were going hungry and had nothing to sacrifice to the Gods. Zeus, knowing that Hades had taken Persephone, sent Hermes to him to bring her back to her mother. Before she left, Hades tricked her into eating six pomegranate seeds, tying her to the underworld for six months of the year. When Demeter was reunited with Persephone, she once again caused the earth to be fertile, but every year when Persephone goes back to the underworld, she lets the plants die again until her daughter's return.
Demeter is also at the center of what are known as the Eleusinian Mysteries. Though no one is entirely certain what was involved with the mysteries (they were never written down and some aspects were known only to initiates), it is known that there were two central celebrations-those of the Lesser Mysteries in the spring, and those of the Greater Mysteries in late summer. The Lesser Mysteries likely signified the return of Persephone from the underworld. The Greater Mysteries may have evolved from a myth pertaining to the time when Demeter was searching for her daughter. In her search, she stopped at the home of Keleus, the King of Eleusis. While she stayed, she taught one of Keleus's sons, Triptolemus, the art of agriculture, and it was he who spread it throughout the Greek world. For Keleus's other son, Demophon, Demeter had a very special gift. She intended to turn him into a God, and part of the process involved burning away his mortal soul so that he would be immortal. Every night, she placed him in a fire, until his mother saw this and interrupted the ritual, afraid for her son's life.
Demeter's name is likely derived from the words for "distribution" and "mother," which were suit her role as Goddess of the harvest. Epithets for her include:
DEMETER AGLAOKARPOS (giver of goodly fruit)

THE GODDESS OF LAUSSEL WAS FOUND IN 1911 IN FRANCE AT THE ENTRANCE TO HER CEREMONIAL CAVE WHICH WAS BOTH A DWELLING PLACE AND A CEREMONIAL SITE. SHE IS AN EARTH MOTHER, AND IS REGARDED ONE THE EARLIEST KNOWN DEPICTION OF THE IDEA OF A DIETY FOR THE PURPOSE OF WORSHIP, THE VERY FIRST EXAMPLE OF THE DEIFICATION OF THE FEMININE PRINCIPLE, THE ORIGINAL GREAT MOTHER GODDESS. INDEED, THE GODDESS OF LAUSSEL IS DATED BETWEEN 22,000 AND 18,000 B.C.E.
SHE WAS PAINTED RED, THE COLOR OF MENSTRUATION....THE COLOR OF LIFE, BLOOD AND REBIRTH. IN HER LEFT HAND, SHE POINTS TO HER SWOLLEN BELLY, BUT HER LOOK IS TURNED TO HER RIGHT HAND WHICH SHE HOLDS A BISON HORN WHICH IS SHAPED LIKE A CRESCENT MOON...IMPLYING A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HER FERTILITY AND THE LUNAR PHASES OF THE MOON. THE HORN IS MARKED WITH 13 INCISIONS CALLING TO MIND THE 13 DAYS OF THE WAXING MOON AND THE 13 MOONS OF THE LUNAR YEAR. HER FACE IS FEATURELESS, ALLOWING SPACE FOR EACH ONE OF US TO EMBODY HER. WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE SENSE OF WONDER THAT ANCIENT MAN MUST HAVE FELT AS THEY WATCHED THE "GREAT MOTHE"R GIVE BIRTH....THUS, CONFIRMING WITH EACH CHILD THE MAGIC AND MYSTERY OF LIFE ONGOING.

WHEN THE "DARK MOON" APPEARS, IT BECOMES EASIER FOR US TO SHED UNNECESSARY EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE AND LET GO OF THOSE PEOPLE AND IDEAS THAT NO LONGER SERVE US OR ADD VALUE TO OUR LIFE. IT IS A TIME TO CLEANSE OURSELVES AND CREATE SPACE SO THAT WHAT IS NEW CAN ENTER. THE DARK OF THE "MOON" COMES WITH A "PULL INWARD", AND FOR MANY PEOPLE, THIS IS A TIME TO REST, REFLECT, AND REPLENISH THEIR ENERGY. IT IS AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR DEEP MEDITATION AND GOING WITHIN, UNDERSTANDING, AND GAINING KNOWLEDGE OF SELF. DURING THIS "MOON" CYCLE MANY HAVE REPORTED HAVING POWERFUL HEALING DREAMS, AND IT IS AT THIS TIME THAT MOST PEOPLE FEEL DRIVEN TO EXPLORE THEIR INTUITIVE ABILITIES, RETRIEVE PAST LIFE MEMORIES, OR DELVE MORE DEEPLY INTO THEIR PSYCHE.
THIS IS A TIME TO PERFORM SPELLS FOR PROPHECY, CURSING OR CHAOS, BUT OF COURSE, IF ONE CURSES ANOTHER, THEY SHALL REAP WHAT THEY HAVE SOWN. BLACK IS THE MAIN COLOR OF "CRONE" MAGIC. BLACK IS A COLOR OF WHICH MANY ARE FEARFUL FOR IT SIGNIFIES THE ABSENCE OF COLOR....YET, IT ENCOMPASSES ALL OF THE COLORS. IT DISPELS NEGATIVE ENERGY QUICKLY AND IS VERY GOOD FOR BANISHING SPELLS. IT IS THE COLOR OF "HECATE", THE "GODDESS OF THE CROSSROADS AND MAGIC. " SHE IS A DARK GODDESS WHO IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE NIGHT. AS A GODDESS WHO RETAINS ATTRIBUTES OF THE THREE ASPECTS OF THE TRIPLE GODDESS, "HEKATE" IS OFTEN SEEN IN TRIPLE FORM. SHE RULES NOT ONLY OVER DEATH AND THE UNDERWORLD, BUT OVER BIRTH AND REGENERATION, COMBINING FERTILITY WITH DEATH AS A POWER OF THE EARTH...A FEARED AND REVERED FIGURE.
One way to harness the energy of the "Dark Moon" is to perform a ritual. Begin by lighting a black candle and calling forth those different parts of your life that you feel you are ready to let go of. Through visualization, bind these parts together with light and imagine the bundle moving toward the candle. Watch as these old parts are devoured by the flames. Finally, let the candle burn out. Trust that what you've released has left you. You are now ready to welcome the new into your life.

Nusku was the name of the light and fire-god in Babylonia and Assyria, who is hardly to be distinguished, from a certain time on, from a god Girru - formerly Gibil. Nusku-Girru is the symbol of the heavenly as well as of the terrestrial fire. As the former he is the son of Anu, the god of heaven, but he is likewise associated with Enlil of Nippur as the god of the earth and regarded as his first-born son. A centre of his cult in Assyria was in Harran, where, because of the predominating character of the moon-cult, he is viewed as the son of the moongod Sin. Nusku-Girru is by the side of Ea, the god of water, the great purifier. It is he, therefore, who is called upon to cleanse the sick and suffering from disease, which, superinduced by the demons, was looked upon as a species of impurity affecting the body.
The fire-god is also viewed as the patron of the arts and the god of civilization in general, because of the natural association of all human progress with the discovery and use of fire. As among other nations, the fire-god was in the third instance looked upon as the protector of the family. He becomes the mediator between humanity and the gods, since it is through the fire on the altar that the offering is brought into the presence of the gods. While temples and sanctuaries to Nusku-Girru are found in Babylonia and Assyria, he is worshipped more in symbolical form than the other gods. For the very reason that his presence is common and universal he is not localized to the same extent as his fellow-deities, and, while always enumerated in a list of the great gods, his place in the systematized pantheon is more or less vague. The conceptions connected with Nusku are of distinctly popular origin, as is shown by his prominence in incantations, which represent the popular element in the cult, and it is significant that in the astro-theological system of the Babylonian priests Nusku-Girru is not assigned to any particular place in the heavens. This entry was originally from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica.

ENKI WAS AROUSED BY THE MOTHER GODDESS AND THEY MAKE LOVE, AND THROUGH THE UNION OF EARTH AND WATER, NINHURSAG BORE ENKI A DAUGHTER, NINSAR, MISTRESS OF VEGETATION; HER BIRTH REPRESENTS THE NEW PLANTS THAT GREW AFTER THE UNION OF HER PARENTS. HOWEVER, THE SEASON IS NOW ENDING AND NINHURSAG MUST DEPART FOR THE WINTER...LEAVING NINSAR AND ENKI. NINSAR IS SUBSEQUENTLY IMPREGNATED BY ENKI; SHE THEN BORE NINKURRA, GODDESS OF THE MOUNTAIN PASTURES; AND SHE, TOO, BEARS ENKI DAUGHTER, UTTU, THE SPIDER AND WEAVER OF PATTERNS OF LIFE'S DESIRES. BUT, UTTU WAS UNWILLING TO BEAR ENKI'S CHILD AND APPROACHED NINHURSAG FOR HELP; SHE WAS ADVISED TO BURY ENKI'S SEMEN IN THE GROUND. THERE IT GREW INTO EIGHT PLANTS WHICH ENKI PROCEEDED TO EAT.
THIS ENRAGED NINHURSAG WHO, SEEING HOW ENKI HAD NO RESPECT OR RESTRAINT, HAD HAD ENOUGH OF HER HUSBAND'S BETRAYALS. SHE CURSED HIM AND CAUSE EACH PLANT TO FESTER INTO A DISEASE IN THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF HIS BODY. THE OTHER GODS PLEADED WITH NINHURSAG TO TAKE THE CURSE OFF, FOR WITHOUT ENKI'S WATER, THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLE WERE BEGINNING TO DIE. ENKI MUST SURVIVE BECAUSE LIFE DEPENDS ON HIM. SO, AFTER MUCH PLEADING ON THEIR PART, NINHURSAG GAVE IN AND, SINCE HE HAS EIGHT PAINS IN EIGHT DIFFERENT PARTS OF HIS BODY, CURED HIM BY TAKING THE PLANTS FROM HIS BODY AND GIVING BIRTH TO EIGHT HEALING GODDESSES. ENKI VOWS TO BE MORE MODEST IN HIS BEHAVIORS AND AND LEARNS A VALUABLE LESSON ABOUT BEING RESPONSIBLE.
"TAKEN LITERALLY, THE STORY OF INKI AND NINHURSAG IS ONE OF INCEST AND RAPE, BUT WE MUST REMEMBER. ENKI IS NOT AN IMMORAL CRIMINAL; IN FACT, HE IS NOT A REAL PERSON, BUT IS THE WATER WHILE NINHURSAG IS THE MOTHER EARTH, NOT A REAL WOMAN. MYTHS TEACH US HOW THE WORLD OPERATES, NOT THE WAY SOCIETY WANTS US TO BEHAVE. SO, IF WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE METAPHORS, WE WILL SEE THAT ENKI IS SIMPLY WATERING THE PLANTS. (NINSAR). NOW, NINSAR GROWS WITH CHILD, BUT IS IT NOT POSSIBLE THAT THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT THE BIRTH OF NINKARA (PASTURES) IS SYMBOLIC OF A FIELD OF PLANTS IN THE SUMMER MONTHS? FOR, AS ENKI WATERED THE PLANTS, SOME OF IT SEEPED OVER INTO THE GROUND CREATING THE FLOWERING PASTURES. FOR, METAPHORICALLY, THIS BEAUTIFUL TALE IS ABOUT THE CHANGING OF THE SEASONS AND THE BEAUTY OF THE INTERACTION OF THE CREATIVE DUALITIES. "

Ceridwen soon found that she was pregnant, and knew that her child would be Gwion reborn and that he would remember his previous life and retain all the knowledge that he had stolen from her son. She swore that she would kill him as soon as he was born, but the baby was so beautiful that she couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she wrapped him in a sealskin and set him out to sea. The baby was rescued by a Celtic prince named Elffin, who named him Taliesin. He grew up to be one of the greatest bards of Celtic history.
Ceridwen's name means "blessed poetry", and has several variations, including CARIDWEN, CEREDUIN, CERRIDU, CERRIDWEN, KERIDWEN, KERRIDWEN, KERITUEN, KERRITUEN, KERRITWEN, KYRRIDUEN, and KYRRITUEN.

Celebrate this special time with a Feast to the Disir. Spring is the time when the Goddesses go on the hunt; this is a time for the Ancestral Mothers to ride with Freya (or Frigga) leading the hunt! If you hear it, you are lucky; if you see, you are dead or going to be soon. Every time you speak their names and sing their deeds, they live forever.
WHO ARE THE DISIR?
The Disir are the ancestral mothers, the first of each of our ancestral line. There are around 400 votive altars raised all over Europe dedicated to ancestral mothers.
Freya is considered the 'Queen of the Disir' due to her fertility and magical qualities, but Frigga could very well fill this role. Frigga is the Goddess of fertility in the motherly aspect. She is mother Earth and the Patron Goddess of mothers and family. She assists in childbirth, as the Disir are said too.
The Disir are said to have these same qualities. "They are present at every persons birth, through their life and at their death." (Ancient Mothers, Winefred Hodge) It could also be argued that they fill the role of the Norns, being past, present and future. Another theory is that the Disir are the displaced Souls of the Ancestral Mothers. (Theedrich Yeat)
Upon our birth the ancient mothers enter our bodies with our first breath and guide us through our lives, and on our death, we release their spirit with our last breath for the next of kin. Freya or Frigga could very well be the First of our Line that our Folk have carried with us generation upon generation, hence the title Vanadis, Queen of the Disir.
The Disir are family specific, and an important aspect of both men's and women's souls. Each family has their ancestral mother's blood flowing in their veins. The Disir are the little voice inside of us that tells us to go forth or hold back. They are the woman's intuition that we inherit from our mothers, both ancient and modern.
The Disir are important to both men and women, since we all carry our mothers' line. The Gods and the Goddesses represent the collective unconscious Soul; the Disir (and the Einherjar) represent our conscious soul, our living soul. They aid us now in our waking state. They give us awareness of things we need during our conscious state: strength, intuition, inspiration, etc. They are important to us as the healing, seeing, wise female spirits that guide us in our daily lives, the gut instinct that you get when something feels so right or terribly wrong.
