Daughters of Ardia was originally created to empower women to connect with the Goddess within. What is the Goddess within? It's that place inside of us that connects to the Universal Energy, it channels our intuition, colours our dreams, inspires us to love. It's the feeling of needing something more but not being able to grasp what that is.... In a world that's overrun by masculine energy it's no wonder that women all around the world are struggling with their feelings of disconnection. Living in a world and time that expects so much from us we have increasingly become more disatisfied with our bodies and love lives, with the strains of combining our homes and careers. We are constantly bombarded with images that tell us to be more beautiful, more sexy, thinner, more energetic and more productive. The list could go on and on. Think about the things you would like to more of?? Sound familiar? Connecting with the Goddess within is about making peace with ourselves. It's about exploring our spirituality, listening to our intuition. It's about releasing the guilt that we carry and exploring healthy ways to enrich our lives. The first step begins with you. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you are perfect just the way you are! Now do it again and believe it... |

1. Connect with a Goddess Finding a Goddess that you identify with may sound daunting. But it's not. You may already have one or a few which you admire or connect with. Think of Ancient cultures you are attracted to such as Ancient Egypt, Greece, Roman, Hindu.
A wealth of Goddess information can be found on The Goddess Guide. Or for a small list try the Wicca Chat site. When you decide on your Goddess do some extra research and find out all you can about her. Set up a small alter in your home. Try to find a picture of her. You may want to place this in a photo frame, find some things that remind you of her, you might want to place a crystal or animal figurine that she is associated with beside the picture. Spend some time everyday speaking to her and asking for her guidance. Our first response to people, places and situations is usually intuitive, yet most of us don’t stop to listen to this response or we spend huge amounts of time convincing ourselves that the reaction was incorrect. You need to start trusting and accepting your intuition as this is your direct link with the Divine. Sit and listen, let go of stress and all thoughts (this is difficult at first but gets easier with practise). Feel your goddesses’ presence around you and have a conversation with her. Do this for at least 10 minutes. Write down your thoughts and feelings and any messages you have recieved. Learn how chemicals in our homes, product and foods are harming you and your family. Change to chemical free products. Eat as many organic fruits and vegetables as you can. Get active. Find time to do an activity that makes you happy. Don’t expect to be able to accomplish this one all in one go! But remember that any small changes you are able to start with will have positive results in the way you feel. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Hym To Her - The Pretenders
Let me inside you, Into your room
Ive heard its lined, With the things you dont show Lay me beside you, Down on the floor Ive been your lover, From the womb to the tomb I dress as your daughter, When the moon becomes round You be my mother, When everythings gone And she will always carry on, Something is lost But something is found, They will keep on speaking her name Somethings change, Some stay the same Keep beckoning to me, From behind that closed door The maid and the mother, And the crone thats grown old I hear your voice, Coming out of that hole I listen to you, And I want some more I listen to you, And I want some more And she will always carry on, Something is lost But something is found, They will keep on speaking her name Some things change, Some stay the same Picture from:  Http://www.freecountercode.com/ |
