Ogoun Cover
Ogun (or Ogoun, Ogun, Ogou, Ogum) is a loa and orisha who presides over fire, iron, hunting, politics and war. He is the patron of smiths, and is usually displayed with a number of attributes: a machete or sabre, rum and tobacco. He is one of the husbands of Erzulie in Voo Doo, and is a husband of Oshun and Oya and a friend to Eshu in Yoruba mythology. Ogun is the traditional warrior and is seen as a powerful deity of metal work, similar to Ares and Hephaestus in Greek mythology and Visvakarma in classical Hinduism. He is also prominently represented as Saint George in the syncretic traditions of contemporary Brazil. As such, Ogun is mighty, powerful and triumphal, yet is also known to exhibit the rage and destructiveness of the warrior whose strength and violence must not turn against the community he serves. Perhaps linked to this theme is the new face he has taken on in Haiti which is not quite related to his African roots, that of a powerful political leader. He gives strength through prophecy and magic. It is Ogun who is said to have planted the idea in the heads of, led and given power to the slaves for the Haitian Revolution of 1804. Therefore, he is often called in the contemporary period to help people the people of Haiti to obtain a government more responsive to their needs.

Aine Celtic Goddess Of Faeries And Fertility

Aine Celtic Goddess Of Faeries And Fertility Cover
The goddess Aine is an emotional maelstrom, presenting a fierce and strong feminine voice wrapped in delicate gossamer dresses. She is a sun diety and a moon goddess, bringer of abundant fertility and harbinger of death. She is a lover of many, yet a survivor of sexual abuse. She is a healer who is not afraid to take life or wound the uncaring individual. She is a magickal temptress, as comfortable with the powers of everyday objects as with fantastic feats. Aine's power is undeniable, for it is the power of feeling, of acknowledging and owning true emotions.

Aine, goddess of the sun and daughter of a faerie king, is intimately linked to the brightest day of the year, the summer solstice. Until the early nineteenth century, farmers and peasants created bonfires on Cnoc Aine (the "hill of Aine") in the province of Munster on Midsummer Eve, seeking to honor the sun goddess. Lighting torches from the bonfire, they would parade through the crop fields and around their houses in order to ensure a good harvest. One year, the procession was not held, due to the death of one of the townsfolk. Yet, late that night, flickering torches from the Otherworld were seen floating around the hill with Aine in the lead of the Faerie celebratory march. Another time, several teenage girls lingered at the bonfire until they were all alone, Aine was said to go to them and ask the girls to leave the hill so "they could have the hill to themselves." With a wave of her arm, she allowed them a glimpse into her Land of Faerie, indicating exactly who wanted to romp on the hillside.

All of the anient goddesses and gods of Ireland are linked, in one way or another, to the faeries, the fair folk, the Good Neighbors. One theory of the origin of the faeries states that the Tuatha de Danann(the "people of the Goddess Danu," otherwise known as the gods and goddesses of Celtic Ireland) left the surface of the land of Ireland when the Milesians came to live on the island. After losing a particularly bloody battle, the Tuatha de Danann merely melt into the mists, entering into the earth, where they continue to live. As Christianity spread across the land, these older gods and goddesses were demonized and transformed into the diminutive faeries of Renaissance and Victorian literature. While all of the Tuatha de Danann are linked to the fair folk, Aine is one of the goddesses most closely connected to the faeries. Her festival at Midsummer, her highly fae-friendly family lineage, and the activites at her mound at Cnoc Aine all combine to create a faerie goddess.

Invocation to Aine

Aine speaks:

I am in love with beauty.
I am in love with youth.
And the hunger for it fills me.

The rays of the sun warm me
The grass tickles my feet.
Faerie laughter chimes in the distance,
Greeting my soul.

And the time has come to move...
To shift...to change...to take action.
The time has come to be bold and strong
and fight with insistent paint.

For I have felt your pain
And I have known the heat of unwanted love.
I have pushed through the hard soil
To stand on top of my hill.

For I am Aine,
Sweet and fickle and proud.
I am the land and the sun that warms her.
I am love...desire...fear...anger.

I am emotion.
Feel me now.

Hindu Goddess Durga  

Posted by Unknown

Hindu Goddess Durga Image
DURGA IS A WARRIOR HINDU GODDESS WHO IS DEPICTED AS HAVING TEN TO EIGHTEEN ARMS; SHE RIDES OUT OF THE SKY ON BACK OF AN ENORMOUS, FIERCE-LOOKING TIGER AND CARRIES VARIOUS SACRED WEAPONS IN HER HANDS. SHE PROMISED TO PROTECT THE WORLD. THIS WARRIOR GODDESS IS CALLED UPON FOR PROTECTION AND HELP IN SETTING BOUNDARIES. SHE WAGES WAR AND DESTROYS THE FORCES OF EVIL THAT ATTACK HUMANITY. THE DEMONS ARE NOT OTHERWORLDLY CREATURES, BUT OUR THE FEARS AND ILLUSIONS OF HUMANKIND...THE EVILS OF JEALOUSY, PREJUDICE, AND THE EGO AS WELL AS THE SINFUL NATURE OF OF PEOPLE. SHE POSSESSES UNLIMITED POWER AND SIGNIFIES THE INEVITABLE TRIUMPH OF VIRTUE OF THE FORCES OF DARKNESS. DURGA IS A COMBINATION OF THE ENERGIES OF THE GREAT MALE DEITIES.

YET, DESPITE THE FACT THAT SHE COMES ACROSS AS THE FIERCE AND DANGEROUS WARRIOR, DURGA IS ALWAYS SHOWN WITH A SERENE SMILE ON HER FACE. SHE LETS NOTHING DESTROY HER SELF-CONFIDENCE. DURGA IS A VIRGIN GODDESS, BUT NOT IN THE SENSE THAT SHE HAS NO SEXUAL RELATIONS, BUT THAT SHE BELONGS TO NO ONE FULLY. SHE IS ALSO ONE OF THE CONSORTS OF SHIVA, THE DESTROYER, AND SHE SHARES A JOB WITH HIM--SLAYER OF THE DEMONS. HOWEVER, UNLIKE THE RELATIONSHIP OF SHIVA AND PARVATI, THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS A NON-SEXUAL ONE; INSTEAD, WE FIND THEM AS BATTLEFIELD BUDDIES. DURGA POSSESSES UNLIMITED POWER AND SIGNIFIES THE INEVITABLE TRIUMPH OF VIRTUE OVER DARKNESS.
