“OM precedes all other mantras. Only through their connection with OM can other mantras be effective or be understood in their specific natures. As such, Tara contains within Herself all mantras, and only through Her grace can we come to understand and use them properly. Tara is perhaps the most important Goddess of mantric knowledge, […]
Priestess Perspective
Choosing Goddess by Marisa McCall
Did you ever read those Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid? I loved them. An avid reader from the age of 2, I was inhaling books faster than people could buy them for me. For my 6th birthday, my friend’s mom gave me two different CYOA books, thinking it might slow me down […]

Coyolxauhqui: She Who Is Adorned with Bells by Anne Key
One of the most fascinating deities of pre-Columbian Mexico is Coyolxauhqui. At first glance, a deity named “She Who is Adorned with Bells” might seem to be a dancer, until we read that warriors wrapped strings of bells around their calves before going to battle. Then we see Coyolxauhqui (Nahuatl: coyolli = small metal bells) as a […]
