3 stars in Space January 19th 2011 is a Lucky Day!
 
The theme of this full moon is finding ways to secure our future. Questions we may be or should be asking ourselves at this time are: What is my calling? Who am I committed to? What am I committed to? Where is my calling going to take me?
Full moon in Cancer draws our attention to the feminine, nurturing principle and the role it plays in our lives. Have you been neglecting to honor your feminine side, internally or externally? If so, this lunar phase will remind you to do so.
This is one of the last lunations at 29 degrees which sits on the Cancer-Capricorn axis and is sure to remind is about the inbalances in our lives between family and career. If you have a little voice in your head that sounds like your mother asking if you have taken out the garbage, finished your homeowrk, or cleaned the bathroom, it's the full moon in Cancer at work. Listen to that voive and follow the advice because most of us have unfinished business to clear up and doesnt the house smell nice when the garbage is gone?
This is a perfect time for getting in touch with out intuition and seeking innovative solutions with practical applications, thank the combination of water and earth signs -Sprinkling much needed love, luck and laughter upon us after the chaos of the holiday season.
Find your focus dear ones, write down your expectations from others and from yourselves, and begin to truly plan the amazing future your already living.
Namaste'. Goddess Starr

The Naughty Christmas Party was a huge success. DJ God brought the energy up with some great new music. The crowd pleasing song selection of the night was Pretty Lights After Midnight. Goddess Gypsy did an amazing dance to ACDC's Mistress for Christmas. And Goddess Ioni shook up the room with her sexy version of Santa Baby. A special appearance by Santa Clause himself (Dj God) doing Katy Perry's PEACOCK

Completion of 2010 

We wrapped up our first full completion of Priestess Path Training in December. Mystic Mothers Tracy  trained the first order of Priestesses. We - Devi-Ma, Gypsy, Radha Bast, Ora Lakshmi, Panda, Zoe, Janet and myself  trained for six months. We bonded as Sisters of the Temple and are considered Daughters of the Divine Root. Guidelines to what a modern Goddess is were established as well as what an honorable Temple Man is meant to be. We went through transformations together learning to weave our Sister energies to a higher vibration as well as personally transforming our lives to be of more clear and directed energies. We laughed and fed each other, spent hours in ceremony and in the end learned to trust our united goals.
The ordination culminated to a private veiling ceremony. Each Priestess was presented with a distinctive hand-chosen veil and then took her personal vow sealing it with tears, laughter and hugs. Later that same evening there was a public acknowledgment of our training and a celebration. Thank you to everyone who stood witness and celebrated with us!
Temple is changing rapidly, in part I believe, due to our united Sisterhood and our sense of commitment. Priestess Path bonded the entire Temple and all practitioners at Temple seem to be more united because of the training. A sense of sisterhood was created that extends beyond the immediate group of women who trained. A sense of loyalty to each other has been strengthened and amplified. Our spiritual practice, our clear directive, is rare: rare in our world and rare throughout history. To have such a lovely, dedicated and honorable group of women in one Temple all who support and encourage and learn from one another is exceptionally unique and so rare we have few places to compare.

Temple in 2011

As we have grown and expanded as a group practice the Temple building as had to accommodate us. We now have begun to utilize the entire building. Temple Mother Sylvia and her partner Chris have painted the first floor, done many renovations and put more love and attention into each chamber. Goddess Bless both of them and so many thanks for their service and devotion!
Some of our wishes for the up coming year are: wood floors, remodeling the classroom to create the heart of the Temple - a kitchen/eating area where we can take meals together, an additional shower and many others changes. If any of these wishes will help create Seva (self-less service that burns negative karma) contact Temple for your offering to Her. Having Temple Men in service to Her would be auspicious and a great blessing.
Keep reading this newsletter and Temple Blog "Temple Life" to have the inside track. A powerful Temple Devotee Man will be interviewed in the upcoming blogs as well as updates to all the amazing changes.
Temple is a living example of how beautiful and amazing change can be. Change happens anyway, we can either resist it with fear or embrace it and welcome it like a friend.

Goddess Bless,
Priestess Bhakti
Uplifting Quotes by HP. Robert
Roreich painting Masters Command STANZA 105 of the Vijnanabhairava Tantra "Desire exists in you as in everything. Realize that it also resides in objects and in all that the mind can grasp. Then in discovering the universality of desire, enter its radiant space."

From DESIRE by Daniel Odier:
"'What if
desire were to desire something other than objects?' the Tantric masters then wondered. if desire were simply the incandescence that gives us the feeling of being alive, were intensity, were the tremoring vibration that carries us, then it would be absurd to allow it to be consumed by objects and to lose it once we possess the object or realize we cannot attain it. This profound movement is life itself, and this tremoring is the one that all yoginis and yogis experience, precisely because they remain in the incandescence of desire without rendering it dependent upon the object. In this instant, objects are seen as maintaining incandescence and not as reducing it. 
"In the Tantric sadhana there is a particular practice, connected to the stanza [105] cited above, wherein the yogi sees the world as desire. Everything - a leaf falling from a tree, the sky, the snow, the water he drinks, his food - desires him. In this way he enters into an extremely subtle and refined relationship with objects. We do not touch in the same way a teacup that desires us, we do not look in the same way at a tree that desires us, because each contact with reality becomes a celebration of the universality of desire. Fixation on a single object thus ceases to exist."
Sincerely,


Mystic Sisters
