Goddess Feasts Days and Celebrations for July 2015

“Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all’s right with the world.” Ada Louise Huxtable

Goddess is opulent and profuse. Berries are thick and dripping on the vines. Gardens give forth ample sustenance daily. The air is heavy with humidity and we lift our faces eagerly at the hint of a breeze. Goddess is capricious now as well, bringing storms to break through the heat and shake things up. We are literally in the thick of it and Goddess is celebrating Her heyday. More, more, more, She cries and creates, dances, transforms, and manifests through every aspect of nature. For these summer months, we focus on being outdoors, gathering in community, vacations, moments spent soaking in the sun. There is an urgency to experience it all NOW.

Can you hear Goddess as She spins past? “Catch me if you can!”

Connect with Goddess in the weekly Goddess Card Readings – see which of the Goddesses that step forward are resonating with your week – or should be invited further into your week!

July has two Full Moons – the Full Moon in Aquarius on July 31 is considered a Blue Moon and will be bringing some super-charged energy. There is a lot of planetary movement this month as well; Chiron is retrograde as of June 24, so is Saturn, and Venus and Uranus are heading that way as well. We listed important Astrology movement below and if you would like to see how all of this “astrological weather” affects you and your chart personally, contact Mary Lomando – she has summer specials for Astrology readings!

Mystery School of the Goddess is busy, busy with new courses coming out practically every week. Many of them are self-study so treat yourself to an energetic tune-up with Sacred Wheels – an 8 week journey through the chakras or connect more deeply with your Divine Feminine nature in the Sensual Self with Priestess Brandi Auset. Dr. Jalaja Bonheim is Invoking the Goddess of Wealth (Lakshmi!) beginning August 11 – registration is open now as space is limited! For those called to the Shamanic Path, Kathryn Ravenwood has just released her second level in the Shamanic Path to Initiation.

PLUS, the Summer Solstice edition of Rhythms of the Goddess is available in the gorgeous new online format – get it here for FREE!

Finally, on July 26, MotherHouse of the Goddess celebrates our two year anniversary! I am beyond grateful and truly blessed to have connected with all of you in all of these beautiful expressions of Goddess. Cheers to Goddess and we will be partying all summer long! See below for a special Goddess Alive radio show to mark MotherHouse’s birthday with free Goddess Card Readings during a call in show.
