New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| It's Mother's Day in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico. This, coupled with the fact that the moon is in maternal, nurturing Cancer, makes it a good day to call on and align with one of the most beloved mother goddesses of our time: la Virgen de Guadalupe. Certainly, most Catholics would dispute her status as a goddess, but the worshipful devotion she inspires-as well as the fact that her first temple was built on the same site as the temple of the Aztec mother/earth goddess Tonantzin-would cause us to suspect otherwise.
Today, find a jar candle with la Virgen de Guadalupe's image on it, or simply make one yourself by attaching her image onto a jar candle. Light the candle and invoke the goddess, expressing your love and requesting support with maternal intentions such as comfort, nourishment, and support. Optionally, offer her a white rose. |
