Oracle of the Month - February

Oracle: The Goddess Nemesis
Book: "Sphinx, Goddess Myths and Mysteries"
By: Olivia Robertson


Invocation:
I invoke the aid of the Goddess Nemesis, worshipped as Fate in Attica, foster-mother of Helen of Sparta, Mistress even of the Gods. How may we obey the Divine Decrees of reward and retribution when we lack wisdom? We fight over what is good and what is evil. Veiled Nemesis, have pity on our blindness!

Oracle:
Look within yourself and you will find the Divine Law of Goodness written in your soul. No one may escape Fate, whether he be god or human, animal or tree.

This earth is a careful game created by the Deities. Each creature learns through the experiences of joy and pain; love and hate; life and death. Evolving animals and plants discover where to grow, what to eat, how to survive. All nature follows the path of love which reproduces itself through desire. Strength is developed for defence against predators. It is not always the mighty that exist the longest! Powerful reptiles perished through immobility inflicted by heavy armour, while lively little mammals learnt to evade capture through swiftness. This skill at survival leads to wisdom, which is not restricted to philosophers! The migration of birds over the oceans is directed by necessity and the lesson is well learnt. No human state is as organised as an ant-hill.

Animals, plants and even rocks cooperate with the Deities Who are guardians and gardeners of this planet. Earth's creatures sense the invisible presence of spirits who guide their progress to more beautiful manifestation. Humanity in its early struggles had empathy with us, the Titans and the Olympians. But now overspecialisation in intellect and analysis has eroded psychic vision and telepathy. The only ethical resource left to the materialist is conscience, not always heeded.

The time has come when We Deities reveal ourselves not only to simple shepherds and young girls, but to thousands. We did not do this before because we did not wish to be worshipped. It is difficult to have an intelligent conversation with someone prostrated, head on the ground, their behind in the air! True, there is a hierarchy of evolving beings, but all from God to mouse are equal in essence: all born of the Divine Matrix. You ask for guidance as to the difference between good and evil. The practice is simple. When you ask in your mind - listen! Be still. The answer lies in the beauty, goodness and truth that is all around you, unnoticed.

Receive the blessings of the Olympians who love each one of you.

Oracle of the Month - January

January 2017
Oracle: The Goddess Morrigan
Book: "Urania, Ceremonial Magic of the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson


Invocation:
Triple Goddess Who are Maid and Queen and Enchantress: red-robed wife to the Dagda, fiery God of Mars: raven-tressed Prophetess with the river of life and death flowing about Thy feet: come to us with Thy Power.

Oracle:
Seek the prophetic gifts and all else will be added to you. For in My future lies both My present and My past; for the greater contains the lesser: and in my great age of aeons lies My youth and My Queenship. To hold the Sword of the Ruler is good, but it is wisdom that declares how the sword should be used. And it is the compassion of the Virgin that sheathes the sword. The hollow of the scabbard contains the sword, as the womb of the Mother contains the Kingly warrior. So if you would be great, look before you into your future, for there you shall be in your fullness and completion, ruler of many selves. And fore-knowledge even of Doom teaches the inevitable sequence of cause and effect, the result of good and evil actions: so that you will learn to pursue a virtuous and honourable course in life. Knowledge of my secret of sudden death brings understanding of your own immortality. My Right Foot stands firm upon the earth, as I stand over the dividing river of Life and Death; and my left Foot is rooted in the Land of the Sidhe and the world of spirits: yet am I ever the same.

If you see Me in my innocent youth washing your clothes from all stain and sorrow, do not be afraid, but cross by the stepping stones of My ford to the other world: know that those who accept Me may return again safely to earthly life. Return because you must, as I call you to arduous service in the world, where I am Queen. As such I am both wife and mother, and desire that the earth should be replenished with my children.

But when I appear to you as the Ancient One, your Initiation is nigh. Then you too will feel the inner Fire and shall prophecy. And people will flee from you as they flee from Me, for the children of men fear enchantment more than they fear pain and death. But for you, enchantment will draw forth your greater being which is immortal.

Remember: my messenger is the blue-black Raven.

Oracle of the Month - December

December 2016
Oracle: The Goddess Muth
Book: "Panthea, Initiations and Festivals of the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson



Invocation:
Divine Muth, Mother of all beings, come to our hearts! Inspire us with wisdom and compassion, so that at the last we may dwell in Thy everlasting habitations overshadowed by thy Wings.

Oracle:
In verity the two lands of earth and after-life are One. They are only separated by the blindness of the ignorant. Day and Night are One. Sun and Moon are One, Man and Woman are One. The inner sun which shineth within the depths of the earth is One with the Sun in Heaven. Every heart is united with all hearts through the spheres with the warmth of Love. Yet every being and atom calleth to the others through unique quality that is its essence.

But discord destroys peace and joy through this very Love, when it becomes distorted into obsessive passion. It strikes through narrow devotion to family and nation, but it is at its most evil when it consumes the soul with religious fanaticism. Devotees so deluded will torture and kill those who will not accept the object of their worship.

My children of ancient Egypt saw Deity in the Many. They recognised innate divinity in cats and dogs and hippopotami, through beetles and crocodiles and rivers. As the intellect brought separation of man and nature, men found the Path of the One Light: they acknowledged the Many as emanating from the One. This satisfied mind and heart. Both ways of approaching reality have brought many to everlasting joy. Yet both have caused great evil, through abuse by overemphasis. Those who worshipped the Many in a mindless way degenerated. They became dissipated and lost strength of directed mind and purpose. After them came the followers of the One, whether the One God or Mind: these through unbalanced ideals killed millions of their fellows in the name of love and justice.

The Deities always provide an antidote to poison. And the antidote to obsessive devotion, whether to a person or to a country, to a religion or to an ideal, is to face the truth. This is not easy. If facts contradict long-held feelings and opinions, a man would rather die than accept them. Such people regard Truth as ugly and shun it. They are terrified of the unknown. For them the Goddess is shrouded in black night. Yet if they had the courage to unveil Her, they would see the beautiful countenance of Truth. Instead they pursue Love, thrusting aside all that stands in their way. Inevitably they are consumed by violence and insanity. Love must be approached with humility.

Let Love and Truth be brought into that Sacred Marriage which bringeth forth harmony.

Oracle of the Month - November

November 2016
Oracle: The Goddess Sekhmet
Book: "Isis of Alchemy, Transformation through the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation:
Mighty Goddess Sekhmet, Who with Your Inner Sun bestows life blood throughout the universe, help us to transmute our passions into Your Divine Gold.

Oracle:
You need gold to create gold. But however hard you try, you will not attain the Inner Sun by ministering to your own ambition. An obsession to be a Spiritual Leader works in reverse. In digging for such fools' gold, you dig your own grave. To gaze directly on the earthly sun blinds you. But it is far more dangerous to steal the rays of the Inner Sun. Spiritual blindness is the punishment.

How then may the seeker attain the goal of Divine Awareness? The answer is simple. Watch shadows! My Gold is not to be seized upon by greedy hands, but shows itself in humble places. It reveals its loveliness in the sound of doves in a wood: moonlight on a pool; cubs playing in their earth. My Nature has its hidden symbols to guide you on your way.

Discover the Inner Sun in those who seem devoid of goodness. It is easy to accept yourself; hard to appreciate the treasure concealed in others whom you find repellent. Most people condemn wrong doers. But the Spiritual Alchemist uncovers good in someone obsessed by evil. Honour such hidden splendour and you yourselves will shine forth as stars!

Oracle of the Month - October

October 2016
Oracle: The Goddess Kwan Yin
Book: "Melusina, Life Centres of the Goddess"
By: Olivia Robertson

Invocation:
Divine Mother of all beings, Whose heart is open to those in need, come to us! When men, women and their children were starving from drought in Ancient China, secretly Thou didst go to their barren rice fields, and with milk drawn from Thy breasts Thou didst replenish the withered ears of rice. In this hour of earth's need, aid us to feed all on earth!

Oracle:
Truly, My children, your greatest need is not for earthly sustenance, but for spiritual food. The equipoise between heaven and earth has been unbalanced, and the Deities can no longer easily commune with humankind.

Know that there is a spiritual milk that courses through all creatures and upon which every being depends for its life. This elixir is to earthly gaze invisible, not to be seen nor felt. Yet without its health-giving flow you wither and perish. This is the peach-juice of immortality, the Elixir of Life.

When this pure flow of celestial milk becomes clogged and contaminated, you experience loss of creativity, evil emotions and a craving for stimulants. No longer can the golden power of Yin and the silver power of Yang bring you the ecstasy of Love and Truth! Together these two forces form the Tree of Life within your own bodies, and the Peaches of Immortality are the fruits thereof. But the Forces cannot manifest unless they flow through the white river of plasma, Prana, which should freely circulate through you.

This milky plasma, which may be termed "Yin" in relation to animating Spiritual Fire, may be freed from the pollution of ugly thoughts and emotions by regulated breathing, dance movements and the intoning of Mantras. In-breathing and out-breathing need to be in balance. Left and right sides of the body should be brought into harmony by graceful movements. The arts of painting and music cleanse plasma through appreciation of beauty.

Visualise yourself as either Myself or the Boddhisattva Maitreya! Be seated as we are upon a lotus, floating upon the surface of a tranquil lake. But this exquisite water-lily has a thick slimy stem and its roots are deeply embedded in mud. Do not despise the earth and its elements, for it is from the earth that you grow. Now feel the golden sun within the moon-like petals of the lotus shine within your hearts! When you feel a warm glow radiating within you, you will love as I do, and through your love you will bring happiness, compassion and creativity to all those within your sphere. Omm Shanti. Peace be with you.
