Title: The Goddesses of Prophecy
Time: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST on May 9 and May 23 (two sessions of 2 hours per session)
Organizer/Instructor: Helen Benigni Ph.D. in USA
Summary: “The Goddesses of Prophecy” introduces the Goddesses as time-keepers, earth-keepers, and star-keepers of the knowledge of the prophecy and wisdom of regeneration. In order to communicate the knowledge of the unknown and perhaps the future of humankind, the Goddess as prophet gives and receives a communication with us in order that we may renew the cycles of time, the cycles of the earth, and the cycles of the cosmos. Prophecy of the coming year based on the harvest is ultimately important and renewal or replacement of the old ways is part of that process. The management of the earth’s forces is vital on all levels. On a pragmatic level, the garden must be blessed and fruits, vegetables and especially herbs are used or stored for their year-long use. On an erotic level, the passion of life is released in the summer months, and it too must be carefully tended. To the ancient people, the summer was the time to harvest the spirit as well. Eternal bliss is captured in the stars, the moon and the sun as the stories of the heavens unfold the nature of the inexhaustible, Great Mother. In Greek mythology, The Goddess of Prophecy is Hera, and in Celtic mythology, She is The Morrigu, Nemain, and the Badv. Sites for the Goddesses of Prophecy include the Oracle of Delphi and the Oracle of Dodona in Greece, and Newgrange, Stonehenge and Gavrinis in the Celtic nations. Her priestesses, Her rituals, Her dances and Her prophecies are all part of the textures woven into a sacred gown that The Goddess of Prophecy wears.
