Earth Affirmation – Simple Discipline

Earth Affirmation

“Earth-in-your-Angel, I surrender to Earth-Sun’s sacred dragon love, eternal embrace, a heavenly kiss that never ends and an overflow of infinite heartbreakingly beautiful life. Earth-in-your-Angel, goddess of transformation, you bring both radiant and shadowed life forms into being and cause them to pass away, only to be reborn into bright new beginnings.”

Simple discipline

This month create your April altar to honor and respect the great Trinitarian Venus as herself and in her other divine aspects. Learn about her as Aphrodite, as Ishtar, and as Astarte and connect with the aspect that most resonates with you, within you. Who will be your guide and teacher this month? Who will walk with you each day and dream with you each night? In your morning or evening mediations recite your Earth Affirmation, use it as a mantra that may accompany you into the world of vision and inspired thought where you journey into your soul’s own world where encounters with Spirit are waiting. Ask those divinities who are the guardians of this month to receive an invocation, or a prayer that you can express each day. On your altar honor the presence of the diamond. If you do not have diamonds (many of us don’t have those kinds of resources!) use a clear crystal in its place, but remain conscious of it being a symbol for the presence of the diamond in all its metaphorical meaning for you. Draw, map or write out your own mandalic journey toward your Diamond Self and place your crystal/diamond in the center. Visit every day for new insights and renewals of intentions. Place daisy chains everywhere! Or have fresh daisies in a vase or bowl. Love those daisies! Find the daisy chain within your own being and understand the healing metaphor; search for and embrace your own battle-weary surviving Self and the healing salve to stop the bleeding, stop the bruising, to cradle and allay the shock.
