Oracle of the Month - December
December 2018
Oracle: The Goddess Eloha
Book: "Psyche, Magical Journeys of the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson
Invocation:
Come to us, beautiful Eloha, who with thy twin brother Eli shinest from the stars of Elo Mona! In this dark world of grief and evil we struggle to keep the light of goodness within ourselves. Yet we lack both faith and hope when we see the plight of our mother earth.
Oracle:
You will never find me in the dream world of passing fantasies you call the world. For you yourselves are under the spell of your own desires and enact them in daily life! You dream of fighting evil and you join in battles with those who deem you to be evil. You long for love yet you trample on those who love you, and you may wantonly steal the loves of your friends, destroying their homes. Though you deplore the greed that despoils the earth, leaving it a charnel house of felled forests and dying creatures, yet you blame others for such deeds, though you participate in the fruits of destruction in luxuriant living.
Yet if you turn away from the passing nightmare of the world and come to Innua, the Great Spirit, all will be made clear to you! You place yourself in the centre of the wheel of the world, in the place of the Pole Star, and now you see that all revolves round the Inner Essence that is the life within. By experiencing the Divine Spirit within yourself you become attuned to the same Spirit within each person, animal, bird, tree, stream.
However, my friends, do not make the mistake of trying to alter the dark dream twins of those you recognise as beings of light! For every person, every creature, has its shadow, its wild twin manifesting on earth. And this twin it is who fights, and is passionate, cruel, loving, greedy, even bored. And the mistake of those on the winding path of the serpent, that leads to the great Awakening, is to try and alter other people! As you yourselves awaken each in your own individual way, on your own path through the ordeals of worldly existence, so it is with all beings. My friends, do not waste your energies in railing at the shortcomings of others! These very faults are an expression of their own way of learning through experience. You cannot in any case deprive the warrior of his gun, the hunter of his knife, the greedy man of his stolen land. Rather pity these, for they are caught in the spider web of the world, and can only escape as you shall, by turning away from the world and accepting the Great Spirit within.
Rejoice! When all the world seems evil to you, it is the time of your Awakening! Leave others to progress at their own pace.

Oracle of the Month - November
Oracle: The Goddess Ariadne
Booklet: Dea, Rites and Mysteries of the Goddess
By: Olivia Robertson
Invocation:
Wise Ariadne of the deep sea, High Fruitful Mother of the Barley, thou whose starry crown of Thetis shines in the heavens, bring us thy guidance. Skilful weaver of the shining thread of Life that holds all spheres in patterned beauty, inspire us with thy wisdom! Thou who art above the Labyrinth of the mind, aid us in our thought. For thou, daughter of Truth art wed with fiery Dionysus of the fruitful vine, and so from Truth and Love bring all creatures into harmony.
Oracle:
When you are young, you seek that which is like yourself. And you reject the non-self and call it your enemy. But when you grow into maturity, you seek the not-self, for in this is your completion. And so through reconciliation with the enemy comes creation. For the votary of high spiritual Truth needs the warm glory of the Lover, lest she freezes into an ice maiden. And the Lover, demoniac in his passions, seeks the Ice Maiden that will still his ardour. And between these two comes the harmony of the spheres.
As you face the gateway into birth you receive my shining cord. But as you penetrate deeper and still deeper into the Labyrinth of time and space, the thread becomes thinner, more ghostly. For as you remember my thread, it becomes strong; and when you forget it, it wanes. As you move through the years you leave behind you a spiral pattern of the thread, that brings you memory of your true being. Yet you look ahead and see no light: the light is behind you.
When you reach the nadir of the Labyrinth, and face that which you most fear, you may drop the thread. But fear not! I am always with you, though you see me not. I am Conscience, and my Mother is Nature and my Father is Philosophy. Call upon me and I shall aid you: so are you saved by my grace, and not by your own will. And this must be. For who would be saved through the separate self, rather than be aided by the Immortal Beloved!
So you return through the mazy windings of the Labyrinth, but now you face the cord and it gleams before you like my Silver Snake. And when you reach the entrance of the Double Axe, you soar above the Maze and look down upon it. And now you see the meaning of the pattern, and enjoy its beauty. And you aid others who lose their way in it as you did, and lead them to their goal.

Oracle of the Month - October
October 2018
Oracle: The Goddess Prithivi
Book: "Sphinx, Goddess Myths and Mysteries"
By: Olivia Robertson
Invocation:
I invoke the Goddess of the Earth, Prithivi! Daughter of Devi, The Original Being from whom all Goddesses emerge, help us to understand divine mysteries, so that we may have our earthly way enlightened.
Oracle:
It is the path of the human to seek understanding, while my other children, the animals and birds and trees are content to represent my Divinity. As you lift veil upon veil of my enshrouded mystery, your wonder and joy will increase. Behind the simplest children's story you will uncover a cosmic verity. Your dreams give you riddles for you to unravel at dawn and a passing remark may change your life. There are two ways to see the truth. One is the way of silence, to accept only proven facts. And this indeed will disclose much of my outer material veil. But to comprehend the secrets of the human soul, the way of imagination is the surest. Cynics declare that religious myths are lies, mistaken beliefs of ignorant people. Some skeptics regard world myth as the cunning manipulation of the priests, bent on controlling their followers. To them, poetic epics and dramas are fantasies, with no basis in reality. But there is no lie in creative dreaming, but rather a symbolic reflection of cosmic verity, that wells up from universal mind. The hidden divinity that is concealed in all beings makes itself known through symbols, ideas, and vision. It bypasses logic and the known, seduces the soul deeper into the forest of being by beauty, mystery and desire. So the soul is drawn into penetrating my veils by the swift movement of a lovely stag dodging through the trees - half seen, half not seen, like moon beams.
So enjoy drama, paintings, music, stories. But do not pretend to like great art, when truly you prefer common stories of loves and hates and adventure! These also have their hidden reality, and will show you your own character through hating and loving the people in a play.
I am the Goddess Prithivi of the Earth. My veils are of my Sister Maya, many-layered illusions. But every illusion is a symbol of ultimate reality, when you learn to decipher its code. Always ask me when you want understanding. But it is well to learn to penetrate my veils on your own. That is why you are here on earth.
