"ERDA "IS THE NORSE GODDESS OF THE EARTH; SHE EXISTS IN AND OF THE EARTH IN A CAVE WHICH WAS SET NEXT TO THE ROOTS OF THE GREAT TREE, "YGGDRASIL", THE WORLD TREE WHO REPRESENTS THE NURTURING OF ALL LIFE. AS THE "SLEEPING EARTH GODDESS OF KNOWLEDGE, "HER PLENTIFUL FOUNTAIN OF WISDOM FLOWS AT THE ROOTS AND WATERS THE WORLD TREE. SO MAGICAL IS HER WATER THAT THE TREE GREW SO LARGE AS TO ALLOW ITS LIMBS TO REACH THE HEAVENS. BECAUSE OF HER ASSOCIATION WITH FATE, THE NORSE THOUGHT THERE WAS A CLEAR CORRELATION BETWEEN ERDA AND THE ART OF DIVINATION. HENCE, THEY OFTEN TURNED TO THE EARTH ITSELF FOR GUIDANCE BY USING MANY ASPECTS OF IT AS ORACLES ANIMALS, BIRDS, THE SKY, AND EVEN THE OCEAN. THEY BELIEVED OBSERVATION OF THESE PHENOMENA COULD OFFER DIVINE ANSWERS.OTHERS BELIEVED ERDA COULD BEND THE POWERS OF FATE OVER WHICH SHE RULED.

A goddess that I was not familiar with..so obviously I googled ! Her message was quite strong: In regards to divination, seek the natural world, for it offers so many answers. We tend to walk around with head up bum syndrome. Look for the answers and they will become apparent. The natural world is alive and tangible! It speaks to us daily and offers clarity for those that look. Its not hard, just be open to it. Use the earth, sun, moon ,stars ,birds and all creatures that walk on the earth or swim below her surface. Trust your own instincts/intuitive and divine the signs..because they are there for everyone! No special skills needed ! There is nothing "New Age" about this practise, it has been around probably since the beginning of time. Priestess, shamans and healers , would look towards the elements and nature. To divine and offer answers to those that were seeking. Timely that we return to the ways of well worn path ~ As above , so below! Rock On :)

Ahh Coffee and Youtube time :) I absolutely love dance videos...I often dance around my Healing room to good beats. It's very relaxing and free's up the old muscles and hips. Shoulda been a rockstar!!! only thing, can't sing to save myself! My affair with music and dance started ..thanks to my Mum and show tunes.She always had music blasting from the old back room..She encouraged us to dance and be free with our dance moves. Kids from all around came to listen & dance to Suzie Q, Bob Dylan, The Bee Gees, Elvis, Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Rod Stewart and many more!!! My Pop playing the Piano and Music always on and around us. My Family in particular, my brothers are very musical. My kids are also very musical and can play and sing.(Except one, she takes after her mother) I'm the dud ! But what I lack in musical talent, I make up for in enthusiasm ! Music is a wonderful healer..It can really touch lives. So can dance , its all a part of self expression and the creative force within. I appreciate all music and give thanks to those that make it..so i can dance joyously and listen with my heart and sing along to the music :) It truly is Universal . Even if I sound shit, In my mind I'm a Rockstar! Rock On ~Rainbowalker~ White as an eggshell Just wanted to Honour the Crone today :)
She is in all of us and is my favourite aspect of the Triple Goddess. I am a Crone ♥ and loving it :) ~Rainbowalker~ |
