Turkish Water Goddess

Turkish Water Goddess Cover
Water was born earlier than Earth. Therefore She was believed to be a senior sister to Earth. The beginning of the Earth emanated from Water. From the bottom of the Water a 'heavenly duck’ lifted the sand, clay and silt, from which the Earth was created. The closest deity to Water was Rain. She was hostile to the Fire Diety. The Turks believed that “Water was the initial state of everything in existence, equivalent to primordial chaos. Water was the medium, agent and source of global grandeur. Water evenly gave rise to both foreign and hostile elements. It was the possessor of spirits and the entrance into the other realm.” Water was greatly respected, as without it, life on Earth is impossible. The life, fertility and productivity of land depended on the Water Goddess. Therefore sacrifices were made to Earth and Water at river sources and lakes, asking for a good harvest, increase in cattle and general well being.

Goddess Shekinah Image
" BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO FINDS WISDOM,"
" THE MAN WHO GAINS UNDERSTANDING,"
" FOR SHE IS MORE PROFITABLE THAN SILVER"
" AND YIELDS BETTER RETURNS THAN GOLD."
" SHE IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN RUBIES;"
" NOTHING YOU DESIRE CAN COMPARE WITH HER."
" LONG LIFE IS IN HER RIGHT HAND;"
" IN HER LEFT HAND ARE RICHES AND HONOR."
" HER WAYS ARE PLEASANT WAYS, AND ALL HER PATHS ARE PEACE."
" SHE IS A TREE OF LIFE TO THOSE WHO EMBRACE HER,"
" THOSE WHO LAY HOLD OF HER WILL BE BLESSED."PROVERBS 3:13-18 "

"SHEKINAH" MEANS 'PRESENCE OF GOD' AND RELATES TO THE FEMININE ASPECT OF THE HOLY TRINITY. MANY OF THE HEBREWS SAW HER AS THE MOTHER OR FEMININE ASPECT OF GOD. MANY OF YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO DISCOVER THAT A GODDESS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH JUDAISM FROM ITS CONCEPTION, AND HAS CONTINUED TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART, IN VARIOUS FORMS, TO THE PRESENT. WHILE THE BIBLE DOES NOT MENTION HER NAME, SHE IS NEVERTHELESS BOUND TO THE EXTREMELY OLD TRADITIONS AND CLOSELY RELATES TO THE ANCIENT GODDESSES. "

The Feast Of The Lemures

The Feast Of The Lemures Cover
In Roman religion, the Lemuralia or Lemuria was a feast during which the ancient Romans performed rites to exorcise the malevolent and fearful ghosts of the dead from their homes. The unwholesome spectres of the restless dead, the lemures or larvae were propitiated with offerings of beans. On those days, the Vestals would prepare sacred mola salsa (salt cake) from the first ears of wheat of the season.

In the Julian calendar the three days of the feast were 9, 11, and 13 May. The myth of origin of this ancient festival, according to Ovid, who derives Lemuria from a supposed Remuria was that it had been instituted by Romulus to appease the spirit of Remus.

Ovid notes that at this festival it was the custom to appease or expel the evil spirits by walking barefoot and throwing black beans over the shoulder at night. It was the head of the household who was responsible for getting up at midnight and walking around the house with bare feet throwing out black beans and repeating the incantation, "I send these; with these beans I redeem me and mine (haec ego mitto; his redimo meque meosque fabis.)." nine times. The household would then clash bronze pots while repeating, "Ghosts of my fathers and ancestors, be gone!" nine times.

Because of this annual exorcism of the noxious spirits of the dead, the whole month of May was rendered unlucky for marriages, whence the proverb" Maio malae "("They wed ill who wed in May").

On the culminating day of the Lemuralia, May 13 in 609 or 610 (the day being recorded as more significant than the year), Pope Boniface IV consecrated the Pantheon at Rome to the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs, and the feast of that dedicatio Sanctae Mariae ad Martyres has been celebrated at Rome ever since.

According to cultural historians, this ancient custom was Christianized in the feast of All Saints' Day, established in Rome first on May 13, in order to de-paganize the Roman Lemuria. In the eighth century, as the popular observance of the Lemuria had faded over time, the feast of All Saints was shifted to November 1, coinciding with the similar Celtic propitiation of the spirits at Samhain.
