Changing Woman Ceremony Image
THE REVERED FEMALE DEITY, "CHANGING WOMAN", IS CENTRAL TO NAVAJO RELIGION. A BENEVOLENT FERTILITY GODDESS, SHE IS MOST OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH CORN, THE GRAIN THAT SO MANY CULTURES RELY UPON FOR NOURISHMENT. SHE SYMBOLIZES THE EVER-CHANGING AND EVER-FERTILE EARTH....THE CHANGING OF THE SEASONS, AND THE LIFE CYCLE, BIRTH, MATURITY, AND DEATH.

SHE RULED OVER THE PUBERTY RITES FOR GIRLS WHERE THE FIRST MENSTRUATION OF EVERY NAVAJO GIRL IS THUS SEEN, NOT AS A PROFANE OCCASION FOR SHAME AND FEAR, BUT AS A SACRED RE-ENACTMENT OF THE COMING-OF-AGE OF A GODDESS. A "KINAALDA" IS A NAVAJO GIRL'S PUBERTY RITUAL; IT IS THE CELEBRATION OF A WOMAN'S FIRST PERIOD, IS ONE OF THEIR MOST IMPORTANT CEREMONIES, AND AS WITH OTHER PUBERTY CEREMONIES, "KINAALD'a" IS A CELEBRATION OF AN IMPORTANT LIFE TRANSITION FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD. DURING IT, THE GIRL BECOMES "CHANGING WOMAN". THE FOUR-DAY-LONG RITUAL IS FILLED WITH JOYOUS DANCE AND SONG. PEOPLE CHANTED AND DANCED UNDER THE HOT ARIZONA SUN TO HONOR THESE YOUNG WOMEN FOR STARTING THEIR PERIODS.

THE "KINAALDA" NOT ONLY CELEBRATES A GIRL'S FIRST MENSTRUATION, IT TRANSFORMS HER INTO A WOMAN, ABLE TO BEAR CHILDREN AND TAKE HER PLACE AS AN ADULT AMONG THE NAVAJO. THE FIRST "KINAALDA" WAS PERFORMED FOR "CHANGING WOMAN," THE MOST HONORED OF ALL NAVAJO HOLY PEOPLE. FOLLOWING THIS CELEBRATION, "CHANGING WOMAN" GAVE BIRTH TO TWINS, FROM WHOM THE NAVAJO ARE DESCENDED. THE NAVAJO BELIEVE THAT THE "CHANGING WOMAN'S KINAALDA" GAVE THEM LIFE GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.

I LOVE THIS CELEBRATION. I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST GOT MY MENSTRUAL, I WAS TOLD I HAD THE "CURSE". THE FEELING OF BEING CURSED STUCK WITH ME THROUGHOUT MY LIFE; THUS, I COULD NEVER HONOR MY PERIOD. IT WAS SOMETHING DIRTY TO BE HIDDEN. THAT IS SO SAD.

Mohini Vidhya or in Hindi is the ancient Hindu science of attraction. The use of mantras of unique frequencies is used along with certain rituals to cast a spell of attraction over someone or even a spell of mass attraction. The science of Mohini Vidhya can be traced to the Hindu Goddess Mohini Devi who is the only female manifestation of Vishnu, the Protective force out of the Hindu trinity of the Creator, the protector and the Destroyer or Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Vishnu manifested as Mohini, an unparalleled beauty, in order to attract and destroy Bhasmasur an invincible demon.

Vashikaran Mantras or are the same as Mohini Mantras,as theses mantras are also used for the purpose of attraction.Vashikaran Mantras were popularized by the Navanath's or Nine Masters and saints.These mantras were composed in the commonly spoken script of the day,for the masses,as the masses did not understand Sanskrit.These mantras are from the Shaabri Vidhya Branch.

Mari Basque Goddess Of The Moon Image
"MARI "IS THE BASQUE GODDESS OF THE MOON. SHE IS THE SUPREME GODDESS OF THE BASQUE PANTHEON. MARI IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VARIOUS FORCES OF NATURE INCLUDING THE WIND, STORMS, AND LIGHTNING. SHE CREATES STORMS TO CHASTISE DISOBEDIENT PEOPLE. SHE OFTEN TRAVELS ACROSS THE SKY AS A FIREBALL OR AS A BLAZING CRESCENT GOING FROM ONE MOUNTAIN PEAK TO ANOTHER. SOMETIMES HER CHARIOT IS BEING PULLED BY FOUR WHITE HORSES AND OTHER TIMES, SHE IS SEEN RIDING A WHITE RAM. MARI HAS MANY HOMES ON THE HIGH MOUNTAIN SUMMITS AND DEEP WITHIN THE CAVES BELOW. IT IS SAID THAT THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, THE PEOPLE LIVED IN DARKNESS. THEY WERE AFRAID AND ASKED MARI FOR HELP. AND, SHE CREATED THE MOON.

MARI IS A SHAPE SHIFTER WHO CAN APPEAR AS ANY ANIMAL, BUT SOMETIMES WILL ASSUME THE SHAPE OF A WHITE CLOUD OR A RAINBOW. SHE IS OFTEN PICTURED AS A WOMAN OF FIRE OR AS A THUNDERBOLT. LEGENDS REVERE HER AS A PROPHETESS AND ORACLE; SHE IS SAID TO RULE OVER SORCERY AND DIVINATION. SHE UPHOLDS THE LAW CODE AND IS KNOWN TO PUNISH ANYONE WHO IS GUILTY OF LYING AND STEALING. SHE CONDEMNS PRIDE AND BOASTING AND ENSURES A HIGH LEVEL OF MORAL CONDUCT. HER SYMBOL IS THE SICKLE WHICH IS STILL USED TODAY TO WARD OFF EVIL. MARI PROTECTS THE TRAVELERS AND PROVIDES GOOD COUNCIL TO HUMANS. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE ADVENT OF CHRISTIANITY, MARI WAS DEGRADED INTO AN EVIL SPIRIT.

MARI IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE EARTH GODDESS, LUR, AND THE SISTER OF THE SUN GODDESS, EKHI. THE THUNDER SPIRIT, MAJU IS HER HUSBAND, AND THEY APPARENTLY LIVE APART FOR WHEN THEY DO GET TOGETHER, THERE ARE SEVERE STORMS OF RAIN, HAIL, THUNDER AND LIGHTING. ALTHOUGH THE INQUISTION RUTHLESSLY PERSECUTED FOLLOWERS OF THE GODDESS AS 'WITCHES', MARI SOMEHOW ESCAPED DESTRUCTION, AND SHE CONTINUES TO LIVE ON IN SOME PARTS OF NORTHERN EUROPE.

The Mother Of The Lares

The Mother Of The Lares Cover
The Mother of the Lares (Mater Larum) has been identified with any of several minor Roman deities. She appears twice in the records of the Arval Brethren as Mater Larum, elsewhere as Mania and Larunda. Ovid calls her Lara, Muta (the speechless one) and Tacita (the silent one). Cult to Matres Larum is known through the fragmentary Arval rites to Dea Dia, a goddess of fruitfulness. The Arvals address Dia herself as Juno Dea Dia, which identifies her with the supreme female principle. The mother of the Lares is addressed only as Matres Larum; she is given a sacrificial meal (cena matri Larum) of puls (porridge) contained in a sacred, sun-dried earthenware pot (olla).

Prayers are recited over the pot, which is then thrown from the temple doorway, down the slope on which the temple stands; thus, remarks Lily Ross Taylor, towards the earth as a typically chthonic offering. On another occasion, the Arvals offer sacrificial recompense to various deities for a necessary pollution of Dia's sacred grove; the Mater Larum is given two sheep. The Arvals also invoke her children, in the opening lines of the Arval Hymn to Dia, which begins enos Lases iuvate ("Help us, Lares"). The Mater Larum may have been offered cult with her Lares during the festival of Larentalia as she was, according to Macrobius (fl. 395 - 423 AD), during Compitalia. Ovid poetically interprets what may be a variant of her rites at the fringes of the Feralia: an old woman squats among a circle of younger women and sews up a fish-head. She smears this with pitch then pierces and roasts it; this, she says, binds hostile tongues to silence. She thus invokes Tacita (silence). If, as Macrobius proposes, the Lemures are unsatiated and malevolent forms of Lares, then they and their mother also find their way into Lemuralia, when the vagrant and malicious Lemures and (perhaps) Larvae must be placated by midnight libations of spring-water and offerings of black beans, spat from the mouth of the paterfamilias to the floor of the domus.

Again, Taylor notes the chthonic character of offerings made to fall - or deliberately expelled - towards the earth. Varro (116 BC - 27 BC) believes that she and her children were originally Sabine and names her as Mania; the name is used by later Roman authors with the general sense of an "evil spirit". In the late 2nd century AD, according to Festus, nursemaids use the name of Mania to terrify children. Macrobius applies it to the woolen figurines (maniae) hung at crossroad shrines during Compitalia, thought to be substitutions for ancient human sacrifice once held at the same festival and suppressed by Rome's first consul, L. Junius Brutus. The only known mythography attached to Mater Larum is little, late and poetic: again, the source is Ovid (Fasti II, 571 ff), who identifies her as a once-loquacious nymph, Lara, her tongue cut out for betrayal of Jupiter's secret amours. Lara thus becomes Muta (speechless) and is exiled from the daylight world to the underworld abode of the dead (ad Manes); a place of silence (Tacita). She is led there by Mercury and impregnated by him en route. Her offspring are as silent or speechless as she. If their mother's nature connects the Lares to the earth they are, according to Taylor, spirits of the departed and their mother a dark or terrible aspect of Tellus (Terra Mater). The Lares and the Mater Larum have been suggested as ancient Etruscan divinities; the title or forename Lars, used by Rome's Etrucan kings has been interpreted as "king", "overlord" or "leader". Greek authors offered "heroes" and "daimones" as translations for Lares and Plautus employs a Lar Familiaris where Menander's Greek original has a heroon (hero-shrine).
