Dancing the 42 Laws of Ma'at

   Wed, October 18, 2006 - 9:44 PM
This year at the annual Internat'l Convocation of Isis, I danced with the other preistesses, in a ceremonial production. White dresses flowing, with feather headresses, we each delivered two of the laws to the audience. My first law was #7, which I am: "I live in truth"; and then #36, "I Keep the Waters Pure." The two high preistesses, Elizabeth and Leema, created a central dance interweaving wings, as we all sang. I definitely felt like one of the 'vestal virgins' considering all this purity. The white swan honked in memory of me. Afterwards we drummed and bellydanced for fun!

The next morning the two high preistesses with another who has a lovely voice, expanding our consciousness, and we took communion with Christ and Mary Magdalene, honoring 'the logos'. Elizabeth, longtime devotee of Magdalene, traveler and founder of the Bay Area Gnostic Church, gave holy communion. Mass created a pathway through which Ranjita, my spiritual friend visiting from Germany, and I could transform some past karma. Her witness energy created a shift into a broader awareness, and eventually release. We are very grateful to have this communion with these women at this timely connection.

story from Tinne
Have you read "The Golden Ass" by Apulejus?
A Roman novel from the 3rd century A.D. about a Lucius, who spies on a witch and steals her magic balm, and turns into an ass, when he tries it. He experiences a turbulent life as an ass (he hears the myth about Amor and Psyche told by an old women who tries to calm a kidnapped bride that is kept in a cave etc) until he has had enough, runs to the sea and prays to the Goddess while watching the full moon - and Isis talks to him, promising to tell one of her priests in a dream to bring roses with him at the Isis Parade the next day - if Lucius eats the roses, he will become human again. He should then go to the Isis Temple and stay there as an adept and be initiated into her mysteries. He finally ends up as a succesful lawyer in Rome....
