GOING GODDESS™

MAGIC AND MIRRORS By Ramses and Kasmik copyright 2009

How do I say this

graciously, no remiss

what should we remember, what should we forget

an amber/slate morning, a subdued sunset

take the message out the bottle, tell me what it says

the secret to enlightenment: head, arms, feet, hands, and legs

come out of hiding and feel the new sun

let's go riding and have some fun

fulfill the destiny of a kasmik dream

bask in light of cosmic beams

fates are written in the sand

the lots are cast, strewn from God's hand

now turn around, what do you see

the awkward unraveling of what use to be

visions and nightmares patrol the mind

magic and mirrors control our kind

you can't deny the month is 10

one six in front, one at the end

I listen for an echo of the heart

to bridge the gap of souls apart

now pick 2 colors, what would they be

a course of green and blue for me

there are times when you don't want it to end

there are things you are afraid to begin

gods envied love

shaped sacred and sensual into a dove

A Magical Crystal World

TULIPS

The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like many flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes.

Crystal Frog

To Ancient Egyptians, the frog represented fertility and regeneration. During certain seasons, millions of frogs would come to life along the Nile and bring fertility to otherwise barren lands. As a personification of a water animal, Heqet naturally became the frog-headed fertility goddess of childbirth, creation, and regeneration. She is the divine midwife, presiding over the births of royal persons such as Queen Hatshepsut, as depicted in her birth colonnade. Heqet is also one of the midwives of the Sun, who Nut births every morning as the god Khepera. There is evidence that priestesses of her sect served as midwives. Women in Egypt were known to wear frog-shaped amulets, inscribed with Her name, to protect them during childbirth.

Purple lotus

This is the mystic lotus, represented only in images belonging to a few esoteric sects. The unfolding of the flower is said to reveal the divine spiritual heart.
To the ancient Egyptians, a lotus or sesen was a sacred symbol of rebirth. The lotus grows in muddy water, rising to the surface and opening in the morning, then It closes in the evening and falls to the water. Because of this rising and setting, the lotus is likened to the sun and is regarded as a symbol of creation, death and rebirth. According to one creation myth, a giant lotus emerged from the watery chaos at the beginning of time. Out of its center, the sun itself rose on the first morning.

A Lotus has many uses. The flower extract has been called a spiritual elixir, It helps to bring peace to the mind by calming and relaxing the nervous system. A solution can be used in an atomizer to elevate an environment to a sacred space. Use with crystals for balancing, cleansing, and strengthening the aura. To release negative energy and emotions, inhale the essence in deep rhythmic breaths or caress and inhale the scent of a fresh lotus flower.

Native American Prayer

O Great Spirit, whose breath gives life to the world, and whose voice is heard in the soft breeze:
We need your strength and wisdom.
Cause us to walk in beauty.
Give us eyes ever to behold the red and purple sunset.
Make us wise so that we may understand what you have taught us.
Help us learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
Make us always ready to come to you with clean hands and steady eyes, so when life fades, like the fading sunset, our spirits may come to you without shame.

SUN MOON & STARS

SUN

The largest object in the sky, the sun is the source of light, heat, and life. Since the beginning of the human experience, people in all parts of the world have observed the position of the sun and recorded its rising and setting cycles. Many cultures have created solar calendars to govern their civilization.
Some examples are:
Gregorian calendar
Julian calendar
Tamil calendar

The sun occupies a major place in cultural mythologies, often as a deity. To the Teutonic, Japanese, Oceanic, Maori, and Cherokee cultures, the sun is feminine. Amaterasu is, in Japanese mythology, a sun goddess and the most important Shinto deity. Her name, Amaterasu, means literally "(that which) illuminates Heaven". She was born from the left eye of Izanagi. She is also said to be directly linked in lineage to the Imperial Household of Japan.
The Egyptian sun god Ra is an example of a masculine sun deity. Each day he traveled across the sky in his sun boat, and at night he passed through the underworld, greeting the dead and facing many dangers. Ra's daily cycle was more than a journey, though—it was a daily rebirth. At dawn, he was the newborn sun god rising in the sky. In the morning he was a child, at noon he was mature, and by sunset he was an old man ready for death. Each sunrise was a celebration of the god's return, a victory of life over the forces of death and darkness.
The incredible healing powers of sunshine have been known for centuries. Cultures around the world have revered and worshipped the therapeutic qualities of the sun long before the written word. Ancient writings from the Pharaohs of Egypt, from Greek, Roman, and Arabic physicians, and countless other wise and ancient scholars wrote about the healing powers of the sun. Records, thousands of years old, reveal how the sun was used to strengthen a person's health and treat a variety of illnesses and conditions.
Our sun is the giver of life on planet Earth. All of the heat, light, and energy that the sun provides maintains a delicate balance in nature. It is good to do salutations to the sun every morning to get intellectual strength and power for physical health.



MOON

Moon is a Germanic word, related to the Latin mensis (month). Its root meaning has origins in the measuring of time. Words derived from it like Monday, month and menstrual are related to the word lunar.
The monthly cycle of the moon, in contrast to the annual cycle of the sun's path, has been linked to women's menstrual cycles by many cultures. Many of the most well-known mythologies feature female lunar deities (gods, immortal), such as the Greek goddesses Selene and Phoebe and their Olympian successor Artemis, their Roman equivalents Luna and Diana, and Xochhiquetzal (Aztec) - This magical moon Goddess was the deity of flowers, spring, sex, love, and marriage.

Male lunar gods are also frequent, such as Nanna or Sin of the Mesopotamians, Mani of the Germanic tribes, Thoth of the Egyptians, the Japanese god Tsukuyomi, Rahko of Finns and Tecciztecatl of the Aztecs. These cultures usually featured female Sun goddesses.

Historically, the Native Americans of the northern and eastern United States kept track of the seasons by giving a distinctive name to each full Moon. With some variation, the same names were used throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior. These remain the full Moon names we use today.

The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. Viewed from earth, is the second largest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; this is what causes Moon phases.

A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the moon phase. The only widely used purely lunar calendar is the Islamic calendar or Hijri calendar, whose year always consists of 12 lunar months.

Understanding Moon Phases
The moon goes through a complete moon phases cycle in about one month.

The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and sun. During the new moon, we are on the 'shadow' side and do not observe any lit portion of the moon.

At a full moon, the earth, moon, and sun are in approximate alignment, just as the new moon, but the moon is on the opposite side of the earth, so the entire sunlit part of the moon is facing us. The shadowed portion is entirely hidden from view.

The first quarter and third quarter moons (both often called a "half moon"), happen when the moon is at a 90 degree angle
with respect to the earth and sun. So we are seeing exactly half of the moon illuminated and half in shadow.

A blue moon is a rare event in which two full moons occur within the same month. The next blue moons to occur are:

2009: December 2, December 31
2012: August 2, August 31
2015: July 2, July 31

QUABSO-Copyright © 2008 by CBREEZE


Quabso-"wind-rider", a goddess of the weather, health, fertility and rain. Tanzania

The Sandawe are a small remaining group of a race of people that originally lived over much of Africa. They live in north central Tanzania in Kondo District, near the town of Kondoa, between the Mponde and Bubu rivers.

The San, called the Bushmen by the Dutch in South Africa, were the first people we know of in the Rift Valley. The San as a group are considered to be the oldest human lineage in the world. The Bantu name "Twa" (the original Earth people) is the same word the Zulus use for the Khoisan click-language speakers they found in their early migrations into what is now Natal province of South Africa. One San tribe there today is still called Twa.

The Sandawe religion gives a central place to cave spirits living in the hills, to ancestor worship and divination. They fear the cave spirits and no hunting, herding or wood-gathering is allowed near their caves. They make annual sacrifices to appease the hill spirits, shouting prayers loudly as they climb to the sacrificing area. They also sacrifice at the graves of their ancestors in public ceremonies.

The San peoples practice their traditional tribal religious rituals and they are very closed to Christianity. They believe in a High God, called Warongwe, a distant spirit that is not active in their lives. They see certain animals (especially the praying mantis) and celestial bodies (sun, moon, morning star, and the southern cross) as symbols of divinity.
The moon is believed to be the source of rain and fertility. They also believe that dancing near a sacred fire will bring healing.

DOGS as well as many other animals have a spiritual nature. Many cultures affirm that dogs can see and sense spirits and they often respond to the spirit by barking. They are also intuitive about things that are going to happen. Dogs can also bring good or bad luck to their owner.
Dogs are a type of spiritual guardian. While dog owners feed and care for their dogs, most do not realize that the dog is caring for them also; in particular, they do a lot to help dissolve the owner's negative karma or sins. Much of the karma you have accumulated during the day and night is released when you feed your dog, according to Dattatreya Siva Baba.
Dogs are very sensitive and can communicate telepathically with humans. Their sense of our emotions and thoughts can influence behavior and they will react to our moods without hesitation. They give and receive love unconditionally with no hidden agenda.
A dog's disposition can be a mirror of their owner's character. They can be happy, sad, playful, serious, energetic, lazy, focused, or distracted, just like their owners. Dogs tune in to the human's real self and reflect back a person's intrinsic qualities in behavior and emotion.
Take time to really pay attention to your dog or whichever pet you have. You can learn invaluable lessons about yourself and your environment from your relationships with animals. You can also increase your intuitive abilities and spiritual awareness by strengthening your bond with your pet.

Incan Portal- Copyright © by CBREEZE 2008

The ruins of Machu Picchu are one of the most beautiful and enigmatic ancient sites in the world. While the Inca people certainly used the Andean mountain top (9060 feet elevation), erecting many hundreds of stone structures from the early 1400's, legends and myths indicate that Machu Picchu (meaning 'Old Peak' in the Quechua language) was revered as a sacred place from a far earlier time. The Inca turned the site into a small (5 square miles) but extraordinary city. Invisible from below and completely self-contained, surrounded by agricultural terraces sufficient to feed the population, and watered by natural springs, Machu Picchu seems to have been utilized by the Inca as a secret ceremonial city. Two thousand feet above the rumbling Urubamba river, the cloud shrouded ruins have palaces, baths, temples, storage rooms and some 150 houses, all in a remarkable state of preservation. These structures, carved from the gray granite of the mountain top are wonders of both architectural and aesthetic genius. Many of the building blocks weigh 50 tons or more yet are so precisely sculpted and fitted together with such exactitude that the mortarless joints will not permit the insertion of even a thin knife blade.

One of Machu Picchu's primary functions was that of astronomical observatory. The Intihuatana stone (meaning 'Hitching Post of the Sun') has been shown to be a precise indicator of the date of the two equinoxes and other significant celestial periods.

Shamanic legends say that when sensitive persons touch their foreheads to the stone, the Intihuatana opens one's vision to the spirit world (the author had such an experience, which is described in detail in Chapter one of Places of Peace and Power, on the web site, www.sacredsites.com).

Wailua Falls-the bottom

WAILUA FALLS. Hawaiian alii (royalty) would dive from the cliffs overlooking the pool at Wailua Falls to prove their courage; many did not survive. Today, classic television fans may recognize the falls from the opening scenes of Fantasy Island .

Wailua Falls- the top


Dennis Falls at Kipu Falls-the jump

Kipu falls is a 15 foot waterfall and fun destination for locals and tourists in the know. The 20-rock wall surrounds most of the falls and a ropeswing dangles invitingly. The pool below is deep and crystal clear. The falls are fed by the Hule'ia Stream on its way to the Nawiliwili Bay. There is a 5-minute hike off a dirt sugar cane road down to the waterfalls.

Green Anole on sacred stone at Kukui Heiau



Kukui Heiau (Hawaiian temple) is situated on the grounds of Outrigger at Lae nani overlooking the ocean. Lae Nani, or "beautiful point of land," is an area sacred to the Hawaiian people and was a place for spiritual retreat in ancient times. The surrounding Wailua River valley was the homeland for Kauai's ruling chiefs and served as a center for cultural, religious and political activities. Kukui Heiau was one of several heiau constructed in this area where chiefs conducted ceremonies. This area figures prominently in legends of canoe voyaging between Hawaii and Pacific Islands thousands of miles south. Kukui Heiau, built nearly 500 years ago, at one time stood 230 feet long and 70 feet wide. Today, very few of the original features can be seen. Kukui Heiau stands as a symbol of Hawaiian culture and efforts to preserve and perpetuate the area's delicate threads of history.


Sacred offering at Kukui Heiau

The Plumeria is a flower that has been a large part of many Pacific island cultures such as the Hawaiian and the Polynesian cultures as well as the Mayans. The plumeria has a deep history in these cultures with a lot of symbolism and meaning that has been associated with this beautiful flower. To the Hawaiian, this flower is a symbol of Spring and therefore is associated with birth and life. In Mayan culture there was a close relationship between the flower and the sun. Mayans believed that the sun and the moon were the first inhabitants of the earth and through their procreation the human race was born. The plumeria was a symbol of this procreation and most experts believe that it is a symbol of procreation directly and indirectly a symbol for life.

Moki Aloha

Underneath the blistering midday sun i rummaged through Koloa town, thirsting for water and hungry for a taste of the sweet pleasures of yesteryear. After swigging down half a bottle of Hawaiian Springs, i rambled past the village farmer's market and found my way to the welcome shade of a giant monkey pod tree fixed next door to a quaint refurbished plantation house, now a specialty t-shirt store. Comfortably seated on the porch, i found one of the locals playfully caressing her dog, beautifully sculptured, and frozen in time. This life-size hand carved effigy named "Moki Aloha" was created by Reems Mitchell of Maui in 1963. What a gratifying morsel of a colorful and significant part of Hawaii's history.


Mr. Ding and "Barney"

One of my most memorable and striking encounters occurred during a stroll along a stretch of beachfront property joining Wailua and Kapa'a. Camera in hand, i fancied a curious display of coconuts, shells, rocks, and other natural items in a yard, keenly placed and beckoning to be photographed. As i looked toward the house, i saw a man sitting on the porch caressing his dog. The scene was a deja vu of the experience i had a few hours earlier in Old Koloa Town with "Moki Aloha". I respectfully asked if i could take pictures of his yard and without hesitation he gave me an ethusiastic 'yes', then invited me to join him on the porch for a bit of storytelling. After a friendly exchange of our personal backgrounds, Mr. Ding allowed me to photograph him and his adorable 'Barney'.


Moki Up Close

Located along Kauai's south shore, the small town of Koloa is a popular attraction as the site of Hawaii's oldest sugar plantation. Founded in 1835, the town has some of the oldest buildings in the state. Koloa opened its first sugar mill in 1835 and set the precedent for commercial sugar production across the islands. The sugar era opened the door to a wave of immigrants that make up Hawaii’s multicultural population today.

If life should end tomorrow
and this world come to pass
for me would be no sorrow
we were not meant to last
on the Earth forever
nor in this galaxy
although we'd be together
throughout eternity

If my heart should fail to love
another after you
i will become a dove
and fly away into
a paradise or heaven
where your love awaits
and there we shall be given
a gift from One so great

If my soul should rest
my spirit will abide
within your sublime heart
where tenderness resides
until the dawn or season
when we will be as one
without a thought or reason
i trust it shall be done.

The Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana) is a species of bird in the family Anatidae. It is endemic to the large islands of Hawaiʻi.The former range of the Hawaiian Duck included all of the main Hawaiian islands except the island of Lānaʻi. Now the Hawaiian Duck only exists on the island of Kauaʻi. The Hawaiian Duck was extirpated on all other islands, but was subsequently reestablished on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, and Maui through release of captive-reared birds. However, all the Hawaiian Ducks in the reestablished populations have bred with feral Mallard ducks and have produced hybrid offspring (Griffin et al. 1989); consequently, "pure" Hawaiian Ducks are still only found on Kauaʻi.

Lovely view of the Aegean sea from the village of Oios on the Santorini Caldera.
Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km southeast from Greece's mainland. It is also known as Thera (or Thira, Greek Θήρα [ˈθira]), forming the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands.

Sumptuous Red Torch Ginger. Indigenous to Southeast Asia, this spectacular looking member of the ginger family is cultivated throughout the tropics. This beauty was photographed at The Allerton National Tropical Botanical Garden in Kauai, Hawaii in June, 2009.

Moku'ae'ae Islet, pictured here, is just offshore from the peninsula. It is a bird sanctuary and often home to the Hawaiian monk seal who may be seen lazing in the sun near the shoreline.



Awesome view from the peninsula home of the Kilauea Lighthouse, which is the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian Islands. Nearby is the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, home to a diverse population of nesting seabirds and the only such sanctuary in the islands. Residents include the red-footed boobies, the Laysan albatross, and the great frigate bird with its 8-foot wingspan.

One of Pele's hangouts during her travels. Located on the sunny south shore of Kauai, this is one of the most popular and safest beaches on the island. Poipu Beach is most famous for being a place where the endangered Hawaiian Monk seals sometimes sunbathe unabashedly on the shore. There are roughly only 1,300 Hawaiian Monk Seals remaining and about 20 swim in the waters of Kauai.

Pele copyright © C-BREEZE 2008
PELE, HAWAIIAN GODDESS OF VOLCANOS. KEEPER OF THE SACRED FIRE.
FILLED WITH LOVE, COMPASSION AND CARING FOR HER PEOPLE WHO HOLD HER IN HIGH ESTEEM.

Me ke aloha pumehana
—Hawaiian kahuna

Born in Tahiti, Pele is the Hawaiin Goddess of fire, lightning, volcanoes, dance, and violence. Landing first at Ni'ihau, then Kauai, Pele moved down the chain of islands in order of their geological formation, eventually landing on the Big Island's Mauna Loa. As a word in the Hawaiian language her name, pele, means molten lava. She is not, therefore, a spirit who lives in the molten lava, she is the spirit of molten lava itself.

Pele was born of the female spirit Haumea, or Hina, who, like all other important Hawai'i gods and goddesses, descended from the supreme beings, Papa, or Earth Mother, and Wakea, Sky Father. Pele was among the first voyagers to sail to Hawai'i from her homeland, Honua-Mea in Kahiki, in a canoe guided by her shark-god brother Kā-moho-aliʻi,. Legends say she was pursued by her angry older sister, Na-maka-o-kaha'i because Pele had seduced her husband.


Goddess Pele can change into many forms. She can become a dog, an old lady, and a beautiful young woman. A way that you can tell that Goddess Pele is in one of her forms, is that the dog, young woman, or old woman would have red eyes plus the woman would be wearing all white and the dog will have white fur. For hundreds of years, sightings of Goddess Pele have been reported throughout the Hawaiian islands. She is known to be a wanderer, often begging for food or drink. Those who share with her are rewarded and spared. Those who are greedy and unkind have been punished by having their homes or possessions destroyed, so that they must rely on the kindness of others.

Goddess Pele can also be different forms of lava. Some of them are lava flows, leaks, and steady flows. Goddess Pele can also take the shape of fire.

Within the Hawaiian cosmos all natural forces are regarded as life forces, related to humanity by common descent from the same ultimate creative spirits. Possessing the power to create new land, Pele also has a volcanic personality. She is by nature impetuous and lusty, jealous, unpredictable, and capable of sudden fury and great violence. She can also be gentle, loving, and as serene as her forests of ferns and flowering trees.

Two endemic Hawaiian plants specifically associated with Pele are the 'ohi'a-lehua tree and the ohelo bush.

Remember to honor the Goddess Pele, creator and destroyer, Ka wahine 'ai honua.
