2003-10-01 @ 11:39 a.m. October 1 Yeah!! I love October. It is by far my favorite month. There are so many things happening in this month all ending with Samhain. The start of the old Celtic New Year. And the New Year for many pagans. Also my birthday is this month. Considering my advanced age, I have decided to once again, celebrate the whole Month. Here is one Goddess for today. --Oct.1st Date: Wednesday, October 1, 2003 Time: All Day Today's Goddess: Cherokee First Woman Reunion with the Goddess (Southeastern United States) Themes: Spirituality; Universal Truth; Unity; Cleansing;Abundance Symbols: All Animals and Plants About Cherokee First Woman: This Goddess appears in Cherokee myths as an ancestress to the tribe and creatrix of all animals and plants. After the world was first inhabited, a year (this child may have symbolized the new year). Additionally, she motivates the earth's bounty and generates abundance to sustain us through the months ahead. To Do Today: Around this time of year, Cherokee tribes often hold a festival of offerings meant to celebrate their unity with the Sacred Parent and reunite them with this power. One custom easy to follow is that of exchanging clothes with a loved one; this symbolizes oneness among humans, the gods, and each other. Washing in running water today (shower or tap) will cleanse away any barrier that stands between you and the Goddess. If you hold a formal ritual today, place a bowl of water near the circle where each participant can rinse their hands to invoke Cherokee First Woman's blessing and purification. Finally, drink a tall glass of springwater today to release this Goddess's spiritual nature, rejuvenation, and abundance into every cell. By Patricia Telesco ~ From "365 Goddess" two other goddesses for today:Chang-O is the Moon Goddess of China. Today is her day also. ```````````````````````````````````` Astraea's Sacred Day: Today is sacred to the Goddess Astraea, daughter of Zeus and Themis. She lived among humans in the Golden Age but when civilization deteriorated she withdrew to the upperworld. << | >> Older Entries - - 2005-05-20 new responcibilites-did I spell that one right? - 2005-04-26 this weekends moons - 2004-09-17 Virgo Begins - 2004-08-21 A poem by: Edgar Poe's Cat and life in The House - 2004-08-17
