Walking with Mary 30 days

Walk with Mary for thirty days

When you pray to Mary, mother of Jesus, you pray, without knowing it,

to the World Mother in her many forms. -  The Mists of Avalon

You are invited to join me and the Temple of Mary in a 30 day practice with the metaphor, Sacred Presence and iconography of Blessed Mary.  

We will start on Friday 11 January 2019 on my birthday and continue till Monday 11 February, the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Sunday 3 February 2019 is the start of the Art Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes whose feast day we celebrate on Monday 11 February and it will be included in these thirty days.

You can participate wherever you are and you can spend as much time as you can afford to on the daily practise.  The month of Walking with Mary will include special prayers, contemplation, spiritual exercises and tools to uncover your own Sacred Heart and strengthen your relationship with 

the Blessed Mother Mary.

This is a free event and open to everyone

Over the next few days I will share here a few items that you have to collect and prepare beforehand.

If you own the Mysteries of Mary tarot deck and/or the  Amulets of Mary Healing Oracle,

you can bring them to this event.  

We will consecrate our decks and we will set up a special Walking with Mary altar.  

Go to my blog The Temple of Mary and subscribe on the right hand side under the tab 'subscribe by email' and you will receive weekly blog posts setting out the teachings of Mary and her many roles;  I will share sacred healing practises with you and you will receive instructions on how to do the Silent Heart meditation and how to receive the Sacred Heart diksha which you will practise on a daily basis.

You will experience the flowering of peace and joy and you will see the changes in your personal life unfold as you walk these thirty days with Mary.

Thirty days of Mary

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.

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.

blessings to you
