The Charge Of The Goddess 3 Cover
"I am the quickening of the seed in Springtime, the glory of ripe fields in Summer, and the peace of the quiet woods as the snow calms the Earth in Winter. I am the lilt of the maidens' melody in the morning, the patient hand of the Mother and the deep river of the mysteries taught by moonlight.

I give the creatures of the earth the gifts of song rising from the heart, the joy of autumn sunset, the cool touch of the renewing waters, and the compelling call of the drum in the dance. To you I give the joy of creation and the companion of beauty to light your days.

By the powers of the steadfast Earth and the wheeling stars I charge thee; by the darkness of death and the white light of birth I charge thee; and by the terrible strength of your human spirits, I charge thee:

Strive always for the growth of your eternal soul, never intentionally diminish your strength, your compassion, your ties to the earth or your knowledge.

Challenge your mind, never accept complacently that which has been the standard merely for the reason that it is the standard by which the majority judges itself.

Thirdly, I charge thee, act always for the betterment of your brothers and sisters. To strengthen them is to forge the true chain of humanity, and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

You are my children, my brothers and sisters and my companions. You are known in great part by the company you keep, and you are strong and wise and full of the powers of life. It is yours to use them in my service, and I also, am known by the company I keep.

Go forth in joy and the light of my love, turning to me without fear when the darkness threatens to overcome you, and turning also to me to share your triumphs and your achievements, and know in your heart of hearts that we are together in blood and spirit 'til the last star darkens in the sky and winter comes to the universe."

(c) 1986, Kyri Comyn

Goddess Mnemosyne Image
MEMORY WAS A VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTION TO THE ANCIENTS; IN FACT, IT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT THEY PERSONIFIED IT AS A GODDESS. MNEMOSYNE WAS A TITAN; SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF URANUS (HEAVEN) AND GAIA.(EARTH) MNEMOSYNE WAS THE GUARDIAN OF MEMORY BEFORE THE ADVENT OF WRITING AND LITERACY. SHE WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF AN ORAL CULTURE THAT COMMUNICATED THE SOUL THROUGH THEIR STORIES AND METAPHORS. SHE BECAME KNOWN AS THE MOTHER OF INSPIRATION.

AT ONE TIME, SHE WAS CONSIDERED A VERY POWERFUL GODDESS, BUT, IRONICALLY, SHE HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH "FORGOTTEN" DURING THE PASSAGE OF TIME. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL GODDESS WHO IS USUALLY DEPICTED WITH A FULL MANE OF RICH AUBURN HAIR. IN LATER MYTHS, IT IS TOLD THAT BEFORE HERA, THE GOD ZEUS, LONGING FOR A WAY TO PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF ALL OF HIS GREAT DEEDS, DRESSED HIMSELF AS A SHEPHERD AND CONSORTED WITH MNEMOSYNE. HE VISITED WITH HER FOR NINE NIGHTS BEFORE RETURNING TO HIS HOME ATOP MOUNT OLYMPUS. AND, WHEN TIME PASSED, MNEMOSYNE GAVE BIRTH TO NINE DAUGHTERS, THE 'MUSES', THE ONES WHO INSPIRE AND ENCHANT THE SOUL. AND ZEUS GAVE HER THE PRIVILEGE OF NAMING ALL OF THE THINGS OF THE EARTH.

MNEMOSYNE IS A METAPHOR FOR WHAT WE ARE HERE TO LEARN. AS SUCH, SHE IS THE GODDESS OF TEACHERS, PARENTS. THROUGH HER AND HER DAUGHTERS, WE ARE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN WEAVING OUR FRAGMENTS OF MEMORY TOGETHER TO MAKE MEANING. IN ORDER TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES, WE HAVE TO KEEP THEM ALIVE, AND MNEMOSYNE HELPS US TO DO THAT. SHE REMINDS US TO REMEMBER THE ANCIENT WAYS BY CONNECTING THE PAST WITH THE PRESENT. NO SOCIETY CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT MEMORY.

Aktzin

Aktzin Cover
Aktzin was the god of rain, thunder and lightning for the Totonac people in ancient Mexico. Variants of this deity were known as Tl'aloc to the Aztecs and Chaac to the Mayas. Aktzin was typically depicted as a male figure wearing some form of headdress and rings over his eyes, similar to spectacles. In one hand he held a hammer or axe which would produce thunder and lightning as it struck the clouds. Water poured from his other hand, either from his palm or from a vessel which he held. These elements represented the life-giving and sometimes destructive forces of the weather. The Spanish conquerors led by Hern'an Cort'es encountered this civilization in 1519 after their initial contact with the Mayas of the Yucat'an peninsula. The Totonac territories were located near the Gulf coast in what is today the state of Veracruz. See also Taj'in (City of the Thunder God), an archaeological zone with the remains of the Totonac capital city dating back over 1,000 years.
