Do you have any Devotional Goddesses you've come to worship?
I have Adya Shakti, Kuan Yin, The 'Goddess of Divine Feminine Hippiness', Heart-centred Goddess and White + Green Tara as allies.
Emerging worldviews: the supplicate order-invocation of the sacred
With instructions from ancient wisdom, cultural form and personal experience, each person can appeal to an unseen origin, to holy being(s), to ultimate value(s) such as love, wisdom, grace, energy or to an ultimate reality in order to face tribulations and to live with grace and courage.
Their is a full range of cultural and personal variability in the content of sacredness; embracing the axiom "no one size fits all." Each person and each culture carries certain contents or objects of attention.
Human supplication can be stated as a summoning of cosmic energies and sacred archetypes that bear the mystical power to provoke transcendence of a fixed level of functioning and consciousness toward increased, perhaps unending, growth and expansion
Rendered effective or fulfilling by an increasing perception of reciprocity, supplication leads to the reception or manifestation of ‘‘gifts of the Spirit’’ such as wisdom, comfort, fortitude, healing and grace. This reciprocity may occur through the phenomena of resonance, or a matching of rapport between the human being and the cherished value or deity.
A number of elements emerge: a ritual frame or space within the person or the setting where the supplicant appeals to the unseen, an exercised faith in ultimate or higher value(s), concentrated one-pointed or single-minded intensity, and devotional, earnest action and thought.
It becomes the sacred connecting link between manifest reality and hidden mystery with internal processes of contact and invocation, such as faith, devotion, intention and one-pointed concentration, defining the ongoing human capacity for resonance, attunement and reciprocity with the unmanifest.
Some of the Goddesses
White and Green Tārā
Tārā - the "mother of liberation" with focus on developing inner qualities of compassion, loving-kindness and emptiness
.
Green Tārā (Khadiravani) is usually associated with protection from fear and the following eight obscurations: lions ( = pride), wild elephants ( = delusion/ignorance), fires ( = hatred and anger), snakes ( = jealousy), bandits and thieves ( = wrong views, including fanatical views), bondage ( = avarice and miserliness), floods ( = desire and attachment), and evil spirits and demons ( = deluded doubts).
“om tare tuttare ture soha"
Om: It has to do with the body, the mind, and the approach to universal divinity. Tare: It’s the liberation of the sufferings, feelings, and inferior strength. Tuttare: It represents protection against internal and external dangers. Ture: It’s a protection against physical diseases and a peace-generating word. Soha: It represents the long-term action of protection against internal and external dangers. Actually found my prayers and devotional time to Tārā today where one of the more soothing and comforting experiences I've had out of the Goddesses so far. Decided I need a White Tārā - a Healing Goddess - as White Tārā she expresses maternal compassion and offers healing to beings who are hurt or wounded, either mentally or psychically. “White Tara is particularly associated with healing, protecting and stabilizing your life-force.” Gelek Rimpoche
