Yemaja, Goddess of opportunity

Yemaja:

The Goddess of the Oceans... she brings with her a message of opportunity.

Yemaja's message: I nurture, heal, touch, bless, comfort and make whole that which is incomplete.

I am within you and you need only look inside yourself to find my eternal presence.

Pearls are her adornment (and what I myself wear on a daily basis as earrings).
Yemaja is a perfect Goddess to be called upon for blessings of compassion, wisdom, fertility, creation, riches, inspiration, motherhood, female power, natural wealth, women's issues, having children, sustaining life, washing away sorrow, revealing mysteries, acquiring ancient wisdom, protecting the home, learning not to give your power away, and comforting children in crisis.

Wear pearls or crystal beads to ask Yemaja to grant a wish or bestow a blessing, write her a letter and cast it into the sea....

She was painted in watercolors on Arches Cold Press paper.

Green Tara:

Start delegating

feminine representations of the Buddah or Buddhavistas (metaphoric representations of Buddhist virtues)-there is Red Tara, White Tara and more. The Goddess of compassion. She is said to have been born when the bodhisattva Avalokiteswara cried the first tears of compassion as he witnessed the suffering of humankind. From his tears, Tara was born.
Her name means "star" in the ancient Sanskrit language and like the North Star in the sky guiding lost travelers, Tara appears to us when all is... dark and leads us to a meeting with our inner selves.
Her many personalities and aspects are represented by different colors. Green Tara is known for being a speedy helper who offers emergency aid and provides rapid understanding of situations and relationships. She rescues us by empowering us to save ourselves.

Sulis:

Bodies of water.

Celtic Goddess Sulis. She is the keeper of health and healing and is associated with water, blessings, wishes and building community; she oversees all sacred wells and springs which give healing.
About a hundred miles outside of London, you can visit Sulis’s ancient natural healing spa/shrine in Bath, England. They look much as they did for over seven thousand years until they were di...scovered by the Romans, who used them for ritual and healing.
Her waters are said to be miraculous in their ability to cure.
"The Romans equated Sulis with their Minerva, and so She was known to them as Sulis Minerva–which is somewhat unusual, since the Romans generally used the native Celtic deity name after the Roman name. This is taken as an indication of Her importance and fame.

Though famous for healing, Sulis could curse as well as cure, and in Bath many ‘curse tablets’ have been found, asking Her to punish people suspected of wrongdoing.

She is shown here with one of the small offering-vessels dedicated to Her by worshippers which were found at the site of Bath; they were usually inscribed ‘DSM’, short for the Latin Dea Sulis Minerva, ‘to the Goddess Sulis Minerva’. Her dress is the milky greeny-grey of the water of the springs, and Her hair is the bright orange of the deposits left by the mineral-rich waters.”

Tlazolteotl

she is the goddess of earth, fertility, sexuality and the moon, but she is also the goddess of garbage and decomposition.
She is the cycle of death feeding life, of life cycling to death; she represents purification and regeneration as she turns all garbage, physical an...d meta-physical, into rich life!

Tlatzolteotl was the Goddess to whom the Aztecs confessed their worst deeds and sins and in return the confessor received forgiveness. Tlazolteotl is that shadow part of ourselves that we fear because it is so powerful, yet when we touch/approach her we find absolute mercy.
She is proof that anything that can overwhelm and destroy us ....also has the power to heal and grant forgiveness!

She is a reminder for us to embrace the crap within us--so that we CAN release it....because if we don't "hold it" we can never release it...(think about it, how can you 'let go' of something you don't 'have'...)-she helps us to be free of the shtuff that ties us down, binds us...so that we can be ALL that we are!

"Nurturing a cause or a relationship is a long-term commitment, and one that can't be rushed. This level of devotion comes from a place of deep loving and concern. I listen to the passionate stirrings of my heart. I reach out and take action to let my loved ones know... that I deeply care about them. I take action to spur on my pet causes. Never mind what other people think; you will benefit by carrying through with your priorities. You'll feel so good about yourself if you make time for the relationships and projects that truly count in your heart. Do what's important to you, and do it with absolute devotion!

Ixchel:

Medicine Woman

The Mayan Moon Goddess. Ixchel is associated with fertility and childbirth. She’s a powerful healer who many go to when in need of physical and emotional healing.

Message from Ixchel: ...
“Commanding power is not the same as demanding it. Demanding comes from a childlike place akin to a tantrum, based upon the fear that it might be withheld. Commanding comes from the sure and steady knowledge that you are part of the Great Spirit’s grace and wisdom. You are a lightening rod that can conduct the power. Simply connect to the power through unyielding clarity of your thought processes. Don’t waver for a moment: be a conduit of the power that already resides within you!
Connect to Divine Spirit and allow it to amplify YOU.
You are a steady connector of the Infinite, from the Infinite, to the Infinite. In other words, it’s all Spirit: around you, through you”.

(adapted from Doreen Virtue’s Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards)

In the early 16th century, Maya women seeking health and fertility would travel to the sanctuary of Ix Chel on the island of Cozumel, the most important place of pilgrimage after Chichen Itza. To the north of Cozumel is a mu...ch smaller island baptized by its Spanish discoverer, Hernández de Córdoba, the 'Island of Women' (Isla Mujeres) because of the idols he found there, of the goddesses of the country, Ixchel, Ixchebeliax, Ixhunie, Ixhunieta.

Ixchel has many symbols, including the serpent.
Serpents swallow their prey whole, and that is big magic. In this act, the serpent illustrates the potential of metamorphosis. Serpents are also associated with the sky in Mayan wisdom. In fact, we see countless depictions of snakes with feathered wings in ancient ruins. With their connection with the sky, serpents are divine and in this way, they are also connected with water because rain falls from the skies, and snakes are sky creatures. Transformation, Initiation, Divine Communication. All three of these themes are germane to Ixchel's many roles in the community. In short, the serpent of Ixchel is a Mayan symbol of complete alteration of the mind, body and spirit. (text adaptation from http://www.whats-your-sign.com/mayan-symbols-of-ixchel.html)
