The Tibetans know Her as Lasya the Chinese as Kuan Yin. In ancient Rome, she was known as Luna in ancient Greece, Selene in ancient Egypt, Sefket. The Maya know the Moon Goddess as Ix-Chel. In Her presence, every heart is open, every secret and shortcoming is revealed, every need is known and we are accepted and embraced exactly as we are.Īs we are seen through Her eyes and felt through Her heart, we are touched by Her unconditional love and compassion at the deepest levels of our souls.

She sees all things within us and in return She helps us see the wholeness, perfection, and grace of the Divine within ourselves. Simply experiencing Her dazzling countenance has transformative powers, creating a deep sense of holiness, calm, and inner peace. Surrounded by a magnificent aura of crystalline white light, tinged in azure blue, She brings balance, harmony, and grace to all beings.

With outstretched arms and upturned palms, the Holy Goddess-manifestation of the Divine Feminine-welcomes us. It was an astonishing revelation to me when Ix-Chel, the Moon Goddess of the Maya Indians, first appeared to me at the ancient ceremonial site of Coba on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico in 1985. It was a surprise to me when my spiritual studies as an adult led me to the discovery that many Eastern religions and indigenous spiritual practices not only accept the reality of the Moon Goddess, but also actively embrace Her direct participation in their lives. The scientific community had dismissed belief in the Moon Goddess as primitive superstition, myth, fiction, and/or fantasy. Belief in the Moon Goddess had been condemned by organized Western religions as pagan, heathen, and/or heretical. Many of us also learned that, while the Moon Goddess had played a central role in the mythologies of world cultures in the past, she had been abandoned as civilization had progressed.

Many of us were first introduced to the Moon Goddess through stories of ancient gods and goddesses from civilizations of antiquity. The Moon Goddess materializes with breathtaking clarity and radiant beauty- compassion and unconditional love radiating from the core of Her being.ĭescending from the higher spiritual realms into the physical world, She arrives to bestow Her blessings, guidance, and healing grace. Within this matrix of light-energy, a form begins to coalesce, slowly and indistinctly at first, then quickly gaining focus and definition. Light and energy streaming from her toward earth intensify as she approaches the zenith of her nightly journey. The moon begins her ascent from the horizon in a graceful, majestic arc-soft luminous light flooding the landscape below.Īs she rises in the heavens, pulsing beams of radiant moonlight waken and transform the world far below her.
