Serpentine Sisters

The Serpentine Sisters are women who name themselves  Priestess and are fully immersed in the Serpentine Spiral … uncoiling with the powerful multi-faceted faces of goddess found within the Seasoned Woman Wheel. The Seasoned Woman Wheel has been created by Patricia Corner.

 

From the onset each Serpentine Sister dedicates herself to a chosen goddess for the 13 Lunar month Serpentine Spiral … Uncoiling.

 

Kerri Ryan, Priestess of Goddess has dedicated herself to the journey of uncoiling with Inanna. Kerri is a woman of backbone and substance which is a necessity when you prepare for the unknown  … for it is the unknown that we are constantly moving toward …

 

Please enjoy the musings between the Great Inanna and Sacred Priestess Kerri Ryan which was scribed on 5th June 2008 and will surely speak to the heart and woman soul of every woman.

 

Kerri thank you for the sharing of your deep self and your courage as a woman dedicated.

Great Inanna

 

Priestess, and I do say priestess, for you are undergoing and you are enduring and you are finding your women’s soul. To know the depths of what it feels like to weep and to have your heart rent, through forgetting your connection and living in hatred of your body and your self is indeed the deep dark abyss.  You have been journeying dear one and you had to leave behind your connection with me to do so.  To be cut off and disparate from your source is indeed the journey into the darkness.  You can’t take me with you, for you travel alone.  And so your days of less and less connection with me signal the descent.  You were unaware of your disconnection and that is also a sign that you had lost your way.  You had to sever the chord so that you could find yourself lost and alone and angry and filled with hatred.  It is then and only then that you find yourself in the blackness.  But you did not tarry long.  Filled with anguish and pressure from the outside work requirements, you add all these pressures to your life and make them the focus of overwhelm that you see before you and it all adds to the cauldron - a pinch of bitterness, a twist of anguish a drop of caustic.  Then you stir and you find yourself drinking the brew that comes from your own black heart. 

 

The bone mother calls you and you find yourself enraged in a place where it is safe to release.  She says come into my cauldron and find a place where the rage is alright, where the outlet is safe to express, where your fellow women support and offer love to you, where you can let go and rage against the injustices that fill your life, the loneliness of this journey for you.  For while you have been travelling these last few weeks, her energies have been influencing you.  Without even knowing, the High priestess weaves her spell and as sorceress, she pulls the strings that lead you to the brink and then pushes you over.  It is all in order.  It is all in perfect timing.  See how you came together as women who were ready to spill, to break, to rage and anger.  In a safe place you dug to the bottom of the abyss and in support of each other, you found your way back to the surface.

 

Then a man offered his good heart and his open arms and healed your broken soul.  Splashing you tears against his chest, he was a man for you in the truest sense of the word.  Your woman’s soul responded and felt the love fill you up again, the chalice of your heart was renewed and the pain subdued with remembering who you are.  Love dear priestess – the salve for all wounds, the righter of wrongs and the panacea for all hurts. 

 

You are remembering who you are and this week, you walk with tears in your eyes at the remembering of that woman.  How could you forget you ask.  You know who you are, yes, but you forget and the dark mother calls you to dig deep into the blackness and rattle the bones and scratch in the dirt and find what is lost, what you have forgotten and what is missing in your life.  Then when the sorting is done, and the cycle completes, you can release and let go and find renewal in the light of love.  You saw the light as it was shown to you from home.  You witnessed the overwhelming love that emanates from all that is and which lives in your heart and it has renewed you.  It has filled your well spring and overflows your cup with the essence of who you are.  How could you forget you ask?  You cry out that you know who you are.  But you cannot always be the shining light.  To cycle in the seasons of life is necessary for the ever increasing spiral to journey on, to rage in the dark so that you may find the light again and in doing so, you see it renewed once again and the brilliance illuminates you and you are born again.  In the birthing you are made anew and in the presence of the Christed Venus, you are whole again.  It is your path and your journey and your precious joy to know the brilliance of this rebirth and as you hold this energy in your life, it anchors the ability for creation once again in your soul and you become a powerful creator in your own right. 

 

The love you feel for yourself right now is the answer to all the questions.  Love is the question and the answer.  There is nothing else and you know this and you have been there before so many times in this lifetime and others.  But once again when you become lost, the pathway back to the light is filled with growth and pain and experience of life.  You cannot as a human woman hold this brilliance in your life at all times.  It is not possible.  We show you this, so that you remember who you are, and then when the human condition prevails, we ask you to remember who you are and reclaim that which is yours eternally.

 

Go priestess this day and create the love in your life that you desire.  Your heart yearns so much for another to share this sacred space, to love you as you love yourself.  It is not far, and the more that you can hold this resonance within you, then you will attract to you that which your heart desires.  First you must love yourself completely and this is ever the challenge.  But on this next cycle of your journey into the dark and back, you clear a little more and you love a little more and your shine a little more.  You are brilliance and you are love.  Hold that essence in the physical expression of you are and who you touch and who you encounter and let it become the mantle of your expression in the world so that all may see you and wonder what makes you shine.  It is  your birthright and your greatest honour to be.  The only person you can change is yourself, so be the love in every moment that you can, and do not judge yourself when you can’t.

 

You are deeply loved priestess and you have much to do in this world at this time.  Shine your light and be radiant. 

 

Go in love.
