Hygeia & the Snake

Hygieia: the Resurfacing of a Pre-Olympian Status Quo?

Last Sunday was World Goddess Day. This enticed me to have a deeper look into the mythology of my ally Goddess HYGIEIA - Goddess of Health. I am somewhat hesitant to add Goddess of Cleanliness or Hygiene, because in our day an age, I find overt hygiene is actually a cause of many health conditions. But this is a topic for a whole new post… Suffice to say that in 400BCE, hand washing and purification of air through incense amongst other things was making a positive difference in the treatment of plaque and other infectious diseases. And since Hygieia is attributed to be most strong on the preventative side of health care, it kind of makes sense. She also is linked to mental health through her association with Goddess Athena. So on the whole she seems to be the ancient personification of a modern holistic health care practitioner who is walking her talk.

 

Hygieia's Family History

Hygieia comes from a renowned...

A Metalsmithing Journey

smithwitch Aug 06, 2021

The Smithing Journey Begins …

I started to work with Metal 14 years ago after life changing events beginning with an accident that involved spinal damage. And this in turn has led to now living with Metal in my body. The blessings from this have been many... but a big one is for me to know when to stop and listen to my body and nourish myself.

I felt drawn to creating little metal boxes that in time became Trinket Boxes with little secret spaces. I am mostly exploring interesting shapes which has led me on a journey to finding out the tools needed and the metals I liked to use as well as the colours and properties. 

 

Ancestral Roots in Australia …

My Australian grandfather was a plumber, a repurposer, and a tinker. As a little girl we would bring things home from our outings in his old plumber’s truck and from trips to the tip, for him to reuse. He melted lead to make sinkers and created little items of a useful nature. I loved his...

The Clan Mother Speaks: Our Huntress

clan mother huntress Jul 10, 2021


Stepping into the Clan Mother Huntress Role

When Vision Mother and Warrior Queen Akhalita first shared the birthing of the Amazonian Arts I felt intrigued as I heard the “rattling of the bones” as she spoke. It excited me, the opportunity to piece together the lost threads and uncover Herstory through studying Warrioress Archetypes.

 

The Huntress Steps Forward 

I jumped at the chance to have my Warrioress reading and did so for my 44th Birthday. I was surprised at how much information Jeanette could tell about me from my birth chart. This reintroduction into astrology was just the beginning of many Beginnings (or re-memberings) that are being ignited along this path. When she shared The Huntress had the most medicine for me I initially felt a bit disappointed. Believing I was the Messenger or Artisan, since these I can see easily expressed in my life. The Huntress felt distant, far too confident and her focus too sharp to resonate with me. A bow and arrow too...

Teachings of Grandfather Fire with Medicine Woman Clan Mother

medicine woman rewilding Jun 10, 2021

Dear Sisters,

I would love to share some of my journey with the pathways and a recent insight with my ally, the Medicine Bowl.

Stepping into the Role of World-Bridger with the Amazonian Arts

In the past, spending time in the wild and deeply connecting with nature has always been an amazing resource to me for grounding support and transformation. At the beginning of the year, I embarked on a journey to deepen this connection. As part of following my soul song and stepping up into the role of World-Bridger in the Amazonian Arts Vision Weavers, I am participating in a course this year - learning to facilitate programs in deep nature connection and primal bush skills. Something I have great passion for, but never dared to think that I could possibly teach.

Priestess Gifts

Working with the Priestess, prior to the course, helped to embrace my inner critic and self-doubts. I ventured out of the safety and comfort of my hermitage into the vulnerability of authentic being in service to...

The Clan Mother Speaks: Our Messenger

clan mother messenger Jun 10, 2021

I feel drawn to writing about so many different topics, it's honestly hard to choose.

In honour of the Messenger, I will share my current experience where she walks beside me and weaves her magic still. 

Survive or Thrive

I recently discovered I have been in a form of survival my whole life until now. I had no frame of reference as to what thriving felt like. To call this word into my body felt so foreign, I didn't know where to place it. I had heard this word thrown around, "thriving" but I never applied it to my own life. It took a dear friend to very directly say to me that she wanted me to thrive. I felt numb. Thrive?

I played with this word for days, weeks. The more I meditated and ruminated on this word, the more attention I payed to the power this word had on my body. Things were starting to shift. I started thinking about things differently. I gleaned a new way of looking at my life lived so far. After a day of disorganisation, being on the back foot with the kids,...

The Clan Mother Speaks: Our Banshee

banshee clan mother May 12, 2021

 

Hello dear Sisters—seekers of the Fierce Feminine.

As Banshee Clan Mother I say hello and greet you as JaneOwl. This birthing—this ‘coming out’ of Banshee to you right here, right now, has been quite something. Quite a process. Like a birth of sorts. I have been writing this through the waxing moon to full Scorpio super moon of April 2021 and just days out from Samhain when the veils are thin between worlds.

Firstly, I would like to share with you some words that Banshee spoke one day when I was beside the ocean in March. I am in a constant place of questioning…

Who am I ?
And what am I here to do ?
What is my purpose ?

Life has no meaning... No reason to stay. If there is no purpose

I Am that I Am

I Am that I Am

I Am that I Am

It feels as simple as that. It's taken a life journey to this age of my 60th year to get to this clarity; to this simplicity. Or perhaps even its taken lifetimes...

I am Banshee

I am an anchor for her medicine. She yearns...

Unlearning our Children

From the Mother of the Shield Maidens, Brony Marshall

Programming our Children

Today in the west, most children are programmed and taught how to ‘be’ in the world. Our freedom of expression is inhibited by what society values, our fragmented educational systems and the expectations of those around us.  

If we drop the layers of ‘who we should be’, or ‘how we should express ourselves in the world’… what is left?

What are the values and beliefs that permeate and encircle the communities and community in which you live? What are they and when did you agree to them?

 

The Power of Unlearning

I wrote these words several years ago when I was connecting deeply to my youth and early adult years.

 

I am the shepherd of my herd

Lost in the roar of the city streets

A robotic human

Societies fear defeats

 

I am the custodian of the Earth

A slave to the supermarket aisle

An uneducated worker

The power of corporate denial

 

I am...

The Clan Mother Speaks: the Lore Keeper


As I run ideas through my mind on where to begin my story, a narrated voice ponders random memories.  I regress to past experiences of powerful, spiritual shifts as a young woman during my university years. Having an outspoken, feminist mother who, in my teens, presenting a bumper sticker proudly stating, “Girls can do anything,” led me down a path of rights for women. Bless her for this.  I also recall a childhood knowing, steeped in Christian teachings, that I would one day do work in some spiritual aspect. Of course, I have reached far beyond my religious upbringing and have explored many philosophies of life and beyond—which is where I truly believe this story goes back even further—to past lives.  

 

Past Painful Lives

I feel I have lived a life as a Georgian woman feeling betrayed by her lover and living a lonely, unmarried life without children. Women only felt their worth was reliant upon having a husband and her ability to...

The Clan Mother Speaks: Our Protectress

clan mother protectress Feb 11, 2021

 

You could say I came into the Amazonian Arts, the Shamanic Way, with its founder, Akhalita, crossing my path in May 2019, and due to the sequential alignment of signs that followed our first meeting. At the time, my Women’s Circle was staying at Ningendo, near Dorrigo in NSW, on a Woman’s Retreat. Our Inner Goddess weekend closed, with her sharing the ancient bones of all 13 Amazonian Warrioresses with us, around the opened hearth. I heard a new story emerging …

I didn’t know then why, but we were destined to cross paths.

 

Fierce Fairies and their Tales

What pulled me further into the Amazonian Arts was a yearning to learn more about this Fierce Feminine, as the Vision Mother spoke of Warrioress Archetypes. You see, I was familiar with the Mother energy, having been diving deep into her mythology through Demeter, the Amazonian Arts Matron Goddess for the Protectress energy. Yet my experiential journey has been one of that through her daughter,...

Wildling New Moon: 12 February 2021

astrology wildling Feb 11, 2021
From Amazonian Arts Astrologer, Jeanette Jones

Wildling Transformation

Calling all those ‘new paradigm path finders’ to step forward please, with six planets and one asteroid in Aquarius at this new moon, the flavour is bold, inventive and future oriented.

Are you feeling the weight of mainstream heaviness and the relentlessness of media barrage? Open the door to Wildling energy and sense the possibilities of the ‘new’, awaiting birth. She is the significator of transformation; sniffing out the underbelly of our societal decay and alerting us to the need for change.

 

The Aftershock

Wildling/Aquarius energy can have a ‘shock’ affect; ripping away the fabric of our reality and waking us to greater potential and expanded consciousness. This feeling is not always comfortable as it challenges our complacency and known security structures.

At this moon you may be feeling restless and...
