Manifestations of the Divine Feminine
Roses in bloom this morning at Bealtaine Cottage.
“As this era of masculine dominance comes to an end and a feminine understanding of life’s wholeness is included, we are beginning to experience a different world in which physical, mental, and spiritual well-being are interdependent.
We see the signs of this in the new age movement.
But the new age movement is often limited by its focus on individual well-being.
Our real concern is the well-being of the planet and the whole of humanity.
Central to this is the understanding that the physical world cannot be healed from a solely physical perspective, but requires a shift to an attitude that contains a multi-dimensional approach.”
Roses flower in abundance, grown from a couple of tyres…
These scented roses on the veranda at Bealtaine Cottage surround the image of Madonna and child, hand carved from wood.
The Divine Feminine is honoured.
Images of the Divine Feminine are found in all world religions.
A limited and patriarchal interpretation of the Creator, has given us a male figure, with the female as subservient.
Dominance of Nature and continuous war has ensued, with millions being slaughtered every century, in the name of the patriarchal god.
This continues even today in these so-called enlightened times, with God being invoked continuously by political leaders!
I reject this damnation of the Divine.
Herbs in the permaculture gardens of Bealtaine Cottage
Not in my name!
This is why I plant and plant…
The realm of the Divine Feminine is allowed to manifest here at Bealtaine Cottage.
Mother Earth is honoured in all that is planted.
Her voice is heard in all that grows here at Bealtaine Cottage, reminding us all of the sacredness of life and the oneness of humanity, as we listen to the gentle coaxing of the universal Mother.
In this new, Aquarian Age, the power is shifting back towards a balance between male and female.
Old ways will, inevitably end.
What we put in their place is our own determining at this point.
One aspect of this change is learning to speak out courage from our hearts, by harnessing the power of intuitive living and reacting…we know when something is wrong!
Believe in the belief that we are NOT separated from God.
We are all a part of the Creator, like this little Bee on the perennial Cornflower at Bealtaine Cottage this morning.
We carry God within us and manifest the Divine in unconditional love, compassion, nurturing, and protecting the life force of Earth.
We manifest the Divine Feminine by the good we do.
During nine years of planting Eden into a man made monoculture, this message has become clear to me.
I dedicate the rest of my life to the continuation of this work, for, it is through our actions that the Divine Feminine is allowed to manifest.
How 13 can Change the World.
In ancient cultures, the number 13 represented femininity.
The number 13 corresponds to the number of lunar cycles in a year.
Thirteen is also the number of menstrual cycles a woman has in one year.
The imposition of the Gregorian calendar by a patriarchal church, diminished the power of the feminine in more ways than one.
It altered the way in which we regard the number thirteen.
Thirteen is a highly significant female number, for the 13 lunar cycles are aligned with the 13 menstrual cycles of the woman.
As the Gregorian calendar was imposed, so the number 13 became associated with superstition and bad luck.
However, in reclaiming our knowledge of the Divine Feminine, we begin to see that 13 is a number that is very relevant and powerful as we awaken our consciousness.
The 13th Baktun signalled the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar.
13 is regarded by some ancient cultures that can be found today, in Brazil, as a number that represents God.
I refer to the Coperos religion and the culture that keeps it alive.
In India, the number 13 is referred to as ‘Terah,’ meaning, your’s.
Terah represents Karma in the spiritual sense and the fact that all belongs to the Divine.
In June, 2012, there was a momentous Venus transit, as Venus moved across the face of the sun.
Many believe that this signified the return of the Divine Feminine and have felt strangely energized and empowered since that time.
There is a compelling desire among many to re-establish our connection with the Earth. 
This growing awareness of the number thirteen and the relationship of the number to women is more than just symbolic in the re-establishing of our relationship to the Earth…it is manifesting in the hearts and minds of many.
It is worth re-calling the importance of 13 in the Christian religion, at the very beginning… for it was Christ who was the unifier, the one who joined the 12 disciples to make 13.
13 is a unifying vibration, no longer to be feared, but to be embraced and understood.

The Collective Consciousness of Hope
February the 1st is the feast of Saint Brigid.
Brigid was also a Celtic Goddess, who was venerated for protection of the home from fire.
Ireland is full of spring wells named after the Goddess Brigid, who held sway over them.
The Spring Wells are often seen as a portal to the Otherworld and a source of wisdom and healing.
There is a Brigid in all who nurture compassion, hope, love and life.
These are aspects of the Divine Feminine and this is the Age of the Awakening of the Divine Feminine in all of humanity.
Governments are the trustees we elect…
They will only do what we allow them to… for we are many and they are few.
Empowerment rests within us.
This Awakening is speeding up through the medium of Social Media.
I have observed the transformation of people, from being passive receivers of air-brushed, sanitized information through television, to actively engaging in exchanging information, comment and knowledge through shared social media on the internet.
This is the beginning of the expansion of the Collective Consciousness.
Where once there was solitary repulsion towards what was wrong, there is now a growing movement of outrage.
This Imbolc I shall recall the legacy of Brigid.
There was a Christian Monastery built upon the sacred shrine of Brigid.
It went on to become known as a great European centre of learning and culture, that became instrumental in preserving the ancient learning and literature during the Dark Ages.
Often I think we are slowly emerging from the Dark Ages of Greed, Ignorance and Arrogance.
We are all sacred beings on a journey towards the Divine.
Compassion and Joy connects us all to the Divine.
Change is happening.
Hope abounds.
The Return of the Divine Feminine and Earth Healing.
For several thousands of years there has been a dominance of patriarchal religion.
The role of women has been greatly suppressed and undermined.
As a consequence, we have forgotten and been denied the sacred power of the divine feminine.
As a woman growing up here in Ireland I was taught that God was male and women were subservient at all times to the male.
The role of the feminine was diminished at all levels of society.
I recall my mother having to endure a ceremony called, “being churched,” after childbirth.
The RC church regarded my mother and all like her as being “dirty,” following childbirth and that only a male priest could cleanse her and make her fit for the world in which she lived.
Mother was not allowed to attend church until this ceremony had been conducted.
Imagine a world where giving birth to a sacred human being made one unclean in the eyes of God?
Without the divine feminine in our lives, we impoverish ourselves of the sacred meaning and divine purpose of being alive.
Without the divine feminine in our lives we lose our ability to heal, understand, nourish and empower ourselves and our world.
We allow the ignorance of patriarchy to diminish what we know to be sacred and special.
Without the understanding of the divine feminine we submit to chaos and fear.
The Earth and her inhabitants have had enough of chaos and fear…
