Heiros Gamos - Holy Marriage

"As they set out from their place above, each soul is male and female as one. Only as they descend to this world do they part, each to its own side. And then it is the One Above who unites them again. This is His exclusive domain, for He alone knows which soul belongs to which and how they must reunite." - The Zohar

 

Hieros gamos or Hierogamy (Greek ἱερὸς γάμος, ἱερογαμία "holy marriage") refers to a sexual ritual that plays out a marriage between a god and a goddess, especially when enacted in a symbolic ritual where human participants represent the deities.  Wiki

It is at the heart of so many of our mystery temples – a couple making love.  An actual physical and sexual act – an ancient goddess ritual from Sumeria.

 

GOD I see your beauty.  I see the starlight that you are.  I see your living symbol in all things. I have accepted your love into my heart. I have opened my soul to you and felt you caress it. I have laid down on the altar and made you offerings. I have prayed to you as you dream yourself into being. I have witnessed your creation.

“You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.

Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”

― Kahlil Gibran, Xian zhi

The Divine Tribe were created whole as a Soul and then split upon their physical creation however they will always be joined at the Aethereal Heart and their destinies will always be linked.

The Aether is returning and as this happens during the great cycle instigated by the creator that created our divine soul expressly for the pleasure of God to experience God as God.

 Martenitsa is an old pagan tradition that remains almost unchanged today

On the first day of March and for a few days afterwards, Bulgarians exchange and wear white and red tassels or the Pizho and Penda dolls. The tradition calls for wearing the Martenitsa until the person sees a stork or a blooming tree. The stork is considered a harbinger of spring.

Some specific features of the ritual include tying the twisted white and red woolen thread.  The common belief is that by wearing the red and white colours of the Martenitsa people ask Baba Marta for mercy. They hope that it will make Winter (Lower Consciousness - Iron Age) pass faster and bring spring (Higher Consciousness - Golden Age). 

Pizho and Penda are the names of the two small wool dolls of a typical Martenitsa.  Pizho is the male doll, usually with white as its predominant color.  Penda is the female doll, usually predominantly red, and is distinguished by her skirt.
 
Martenitsi are always given as gifts. Tradition dictates that people never buy Martenitsi for themselves. They are given to loved ones, friends, and those people to whom one feels close. They are worn on clothing, or around the wrist or neck. Wearing one or more Martenitsi is a very popular Bulgarian tradition. 

The time during which it is worn is meant to be a joyful holiday commemorating health and long life. A similar tradition is held in the Republic of Macedonia, as well as in Northern Greece, Albania, Romania and Moldova.

The red string of fate also referred to as the red string of marriage, and other variants, is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese legend and is also used in Japanese legend. 

According to this myth, the gods tie an invisible red cord around the ankles of those that are destined to meet one another in a certain situation or help each other in a certain way. Often, in Japanese culture, it is thought to be tied around the little finger.

 According to Chinese legend, the deity in charge of "the red thread" is believed to be Yue Xia Lao (月下老), often abbreviated to Yue Lao (月老), the old lunar matchmaker god, who is in charge of marriages.
 
The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmate.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_string_of_fate

Hieros Gamos is related to the binding of the Souls which only God can do. In Ancient Greece “Hieros Gamos" was connected to ”sacred marriage, ”sacred wedding feast”, or ”sacred sexual intercourse”, is the technical term of a ritual union between a God and a Goddess"

 
Something from a Wordpress Blog if you would like to click the link.   I don't want to quote too much of it as I am not sure of some of the information.  However the information about the planets and the parts they have played already and will play in our present and future was very interesting.  Those planets have brought us through consciousness to where we are today as a soul.

Aether is the primary and most subtly pervasive manifestation of the Divine substance. Out of it unfolds, in the evolution of the Universe, all other elements, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Together, therefore, Sound and AEther signify the first, truth-pregnant moment of creation, the productive energy of the Absolute, in its pristine, cosmogenetic strength.  Read More

HECATE

Hecate is associated with doorways.

Hecate is a goddess in Greek religion and mythology, most often shown holding two torches or a key and in later periods depicted in triple form.

She was variously associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, dogs, light, the Moon, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, necromancy, and sorcery.

She had rulership over earth, sea and sky, as well as a more universal role as Saviour (Soteira), Mother of Angels and the Cosmic World Soul.

She was one of the main deities worshiped in Athenian households as a protective goddess and one who bestowed prosperity and daily blessings on the family.

She also closely parallels the Roman goddess Trivia, with whom she was identified in Rome.

What is the Vesica Piscis?

THE Vesica Piscis SYMBOL AND ITS MANY MEANINGS OVER THE AGES...

There is an old symbol, older than Christianity, beyond Rome, Greece and Mesopotamia.

It is known as the Vesica Piscis symbol.

Latin translation calls it the fish bladder. But don't be detoured by this name. Looking like two circles overlapping one another, it has been called the symbol of the 'fish' (because it is shaped like one where the circles overlap) or 'the eye of God,' because it looks like the shape of an eye, as well. Eye of Horus, along with many other myths and legends the world over.

The Vesica Piscis is easily one of the most profound geometrical images of ancient and modern times. It is, for example, considered to be an integral part of the Ark of the Covenant, as described and shown figuratively by ka-gold's version of the Vesica Piscis.

When the Vesica Piscis is viewed horizontally, however, the mandorla becomes a different sort of passage: the birth passage. 

The pointed oval is a universal symbol of the Divine Feminine, and in this context the Vesica Piscis is the vulva of the Goddess, surrounded by the crescents of the waxing and waning moon. 

The mandorla as birth passage can easily be seen on the sheila-na-gig figures found on Irish churches, and in the squatting figures of the Hindu goddess Kali.

Almonds are a primeval fertility symbol, and as such are associated with the Phrygian goddess Cybele and her transgendered consort, Attis, and the Greek nymph Phyllis, who was metamorphosed into an almond tree. Fish, too, play a significant part in the lives of goddesses from many cultures. 

"Delphos" translates from Greek as both "womb" and "dolphin." The Chinese Great Mother Kwan -Yin often appears as a fish goddess, as does Aphrodite. Kali, as the swallower of Shiva's penis, becomes Minaksi, the fish-eyed one; Isis becomes Abtu, the Great Fish of the Abyss, when she swallows the penis of Osiris.

A medieval hymn calls Jesus "the little fish in the Virgin's fountain." The Christ child is often shown inside a mandorla, superimposed over Mary's womb. 

Mary herself can be equated with the goddess Aphrodite Marina, who brought forth all the fish in the oceans; Marina's blue robe and pearl necklace, like the Christian Mary's, are classic symbols of the sea. 

On Cyprus, Mary to this day is worshiped as "Panaghia Aphroditessa." 

The connections are many: the Vesica Piscis illumines the common heritage of Christianity and the Goddess traditions it absorbed, traditions it would later vilify and all but destroy.



Essentially the intersection of two, overlapping spheres, the Vesica Piscis (including the interior portion of it, and/or the more common two dimensional version) represents, among other things:

• The joining of God and Goddess to create an offspring.

• A symbol for Jesus Christ.

• In art a pointed oval used as an aureole in medieval sculpture and painting.

• The uterus of the female goddess (or Mother Mary's womb).

• The basic motif in the Flower of Life.

• An overlay of the Tree of Life.

• The formative power of polygons in mathematics.

• A geometrical description of square roots and harmonic proportions.

• A source of immense power and energy.

The Pythagoreans used this symbol as a secret sign to recognize each other. It represents the number five, and life, power and invulnerability. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

As such, it is also a doorway or portal between worlds, and symbolizes the intersection between the heaven and the material plane. The shape of arches in gothic architecture is based on the vesica.

English: Four is the first number formed by the addition and multiplication of equals. To the Pythagoreans this symbol and number represented justice as it is the first number that is divisible every way into equal parts. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The shape of the Vesica Piscis is derived from the intersection of two circles, the Pythagorean "measure of the fish" that was a mystical symbol of the intersection of the world of the divine with the world of matter and the beginning of creation.

To the Pythagoreans, the whole of creation was based on number, and by studying the properties of number, they believed one could achieve spiritual liberation. 

Enclosing the greater area with the smallest perimeterm, the triangle, derived from the vesica piscis, the Triad was considered by the Pythagoreans most beautiful number, as it is the only number to equal the sum of all the terms below it, and the only number whose sum with those below equals their product. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Vesica Piscis was the symbol of the first manifestation, the dyad that gives birth to the entire manifest universe. Within the Vesica can be found the triangle, the tetrad, the square, the pentacle, and many more polygons, making the Vesica a true symbolic womb.

The shape of the Vesica Piscis is derived from the intersection of two circles, the Pythagorean "measure of the fish" that was a mystical symbol of the intersection of the world of the divine with the world of matter and the beginning of creation. The Vesica Piscis is used in a wide range of symbolism.

ttttttttttttt

The Latin term Vesica Piscis, meaning "Vessel of the Fish" is the most basic and important construction in Sacred Geometry.

ttttttttttttt

A Vesica is formed when the circumference of two identical circles each pass through the center of the other.

When a Vesica Piscis is viewed horizontally, it looks like a vagina or a womb which is why the Christ child was often pictured inside of one.

When the Vesica Piscis is viewed vertically it looks like the shape of a fish.

Amazingly, the above two Vesica Piscis each have a horizontal axis equal in length to the gematria value of the Greek word for "fishes."

The Vesica Piscis is an ancient symbol used in Pagan culture, Christian symbolism and sacred geometry, as well as various other belief systems. This enduring symbol is so old that I would suggest it was 'born' during the age of Lemuria, the first world upon Earth, eons ago.
