Thirty days of Mary

Shrine of Blessed Mary in my garden

Since the pagan times, the month of May always 
had a special significance for the divine feminine

and goddess.  
In the North it is spring, so the Romans and Greeks
 dedicated this month to Flora

and Artemis.  

In the Southern Hemisphere it is Autumn and we
prepare for the transition of the winter months to
deeper travels into the inner worlds.

Crowning ritual of Blessed Mary at the Temple of Mary shrine
in my garden by Hettienne Grobler

Traditionally the month of May celebrates
the crowning of Mary.

The Temple of Mary and her Flamekeepers
will celebrate the crowning of Mary in a ceremony
of devotion and celebration.

I will be sharing the date of this ceremony here 
and you may join in wherever you are
by creating an altar dedicated to the
Blessed Mother. 
 So take the time, create

an altar and weave a crown of flowers for your Mary statue. 
 Remember that your devotion and attention

invoke the holy Presence into the physical image and you can
 place water, oil and food on

your altar to be blessed by her presence.

 I will also share the
prayers and rosaries that we will use on that day.

We will also be devoting the entire Month of May
to Blessed Mother Mary and her gifts of
peace, healing and enlightenment.

The thirty days of devotion will include a daily
session of surya yoga, (sun gazing), saying Rosaries
specifically for certain days of the week and
for certain decrees, as well as time spent in 
meditation and healing circles.


 So take the time, create

an altar and weave a crown of flowers for your Mary statue. 
 Remember that your devotion and attention

invoke the holy Presence into the physical image and you can place water, oil and food on

your altar to be blessed by her presence.

I invite you to practise the 30-day dedication and devotion to Mary

during the month of Mary.  
This is a very ancient tradition and you will receive

the blessings if you do so.
Each day will be dedicated to an aspect of Divine Mary
and if you sign up for this practise, you will
receive daily mails with the details of the spiritual practise,
the focus of the dedication,
daily meditations, focus of the day
and the rosary for the day.

If you want to participate, send me an email and I will
send you the instructions. 
My email address is hettiennema@gmail.com

blessings to you

Lady Abundantia

III The Creatrix

I am the One behind the Veil.  From me pours forth abundance and creativity. 

I am the sensual, nurturing and supportive Divine Mother within and without.

I am of the Earth and am Her Beauty, Truth and Wisdom.

When you allow my golden graces to flow to you without fear, then your bowl will never be

empty and time will no longer exist.

“The light of truth 

burns without a flicker

 in the depths of a house 

that is shaken with storms of passion and fear.” 

― Thomas Merton (Maria Lodewicus)
