Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions:
What are my passions?
What am I fighting for?
How can I use my gifts to help others?
What should I be focusing on in my life right now?
How did you get your answers? A few days ago on April 30, 2014, during a meditation, I got clear direction on how I can find the answers to these questions. The next day I started this journey- the spiritual journey of Goddess Rebecca. I hope to unlock the goddess within myself, access my divine feminine power, and discover and share my spiritual gifts while increasing my connection to God. I document this both for myself and for any of you on a similar path.
I wanted an image that would be the symbol of this path that I will be documenting for the next year (although I hope the journey is lifelong). I googled "Goddess Rebecca" images to see what came up, and the photo that is my profile picture, as well as the background photo on my blog is what I chose. It is a fountain in Bath, England called "The Rebecca Fountain", and on some websites she was called "The Water Goddess". The inscription below her reads "Take the water of life freely." Since water has been a significant element in my life recently, I knew immediately this statue would be the symbol of my journey, and I do hope to meet her in person one day. :) (photo credit Richard Wyatt)
May 1, or 'May Day', is a fantastic day to start a goddess journey because on that day we celebrate Goddess Maia, from whom the month of May gets its name. She is the goddess of spring and rebirth and is associated with magic and life. I look forward to the rebirth and magic that this next year of life holds for me.
I was so excited to go to the library and start my spiritual education...I was like a kid in a candy store! Here's a picture I took of everything I carried home a few days ago. Let the journey begin...
Awesome! Thank you for documenting your journey! That looks like a great list of books!
