| A Witch’s Story of Creation |
| 02.13.05 (6:24 am) [edit] |
A Witch’s Story of Creation (Adapted from Vangelo Delle Streghe, Legends of Aradian Witchcraft) In the beginning there was Diana. She was every, all. She was the Primeval Deity, existing before even chaos, before time. Within Her she held the eggs of all that could be. She was the Crone Goddess and She was Spirit and Matter, Yin and Yang. And She was alone. She spent unknown amounts of time, resting and dreaming about what could be. She became curious about the power that She held within her. She ached for companionship, so She divided herself in to two. She remained Spirit, dark, ethereal, mysterious and feminine. Her new Companion became Matter, light, substantial, clear and masculine. God came in to existence with a spark, a flame and a big bang. “Out of Herself, the first Darkness, She divided Herself. Into Darkness and Light She was divided. The God, Her brother and son, Herself and Her other Self, was the Light.”* God; Matter, spread out creating the universe, while Diana rested and watched what she had done. As Matter cooled stars formed, then planets with oceans and land. The vibrations that held Matter together with Spirit slowed as the cooling took place. Energy became less in the cooler matter and spheres of existence began to form. As God “fell into Matter” there were seven spheres; Divine, Monadic, Egoic/ Soular, Astral, Mental, Emotional, Physical. Each one cooler than then the last; each one at a slower vibration. “And when Diana saw that the light was so beautiful, the light which was Her other half, her brother the God, She yearned for it with exceeding great desire. Wishing to receive the light again into Her darkness, to swallow it up in rapture, in delight, She trembled with desire. And this trembling was the first dawn. But the God’s light fled from Her and would not yield to Her wishes. He was the light which flies into the most distant parts of heaven, the mouse which flies before the cat.”* Again Diana felt alone. She had created a Companion who fled from her. She wished to feel and touch the physical world that God had created, but she could not. She could only watch from a distance and dream. Wondering what to do she spent much time in contemplation and then seemingly from nowhere a voice came to her. It was the voice of her oldest and forgotten self. The voice of Diana before she became two. “How could she reunite with the God?” She asked this voice. “How could she take matter back within herself?” And The Mothers and Fathers who were before creation answered, “To rise You must fall. To become the greatest of all Goddesses, You must first become a mortal.”* It was not possible for Spirit to take Matter back within. To Experience her dream she must enter the physical world. Then, and only then would the Goddess and God be again One. So Diana “fell”. As she did she stripped herself parts of her being, they became many souls, which took physical form in the physical sphere. These souls would lead many lives and go through many physical forms. In the physical sphere the Goddess took the form of a cat and in this way she purred her way into the God’s arms. She then returned to her original form and they made love. Thus placing soul within Matter. She used her powers to set the universe into motion. “She sang a charm, and her voice was as the buzzing of bees. And then Diana sat at Her spinning wheel and began to spin the thread of life, and the God turned the wheel.”* Diana continued to spin the threads of destiny. She put her energy into determining the nature of the souls now in physical form. She became the “Nature of Living.” The God turns the wheel creating the journey and giving movement and to the souls. He is the “Process of Living.” The very essence of life, the divine spark that animates all living things comes from the Goddess, while the God carries the spark forward through time and space. We humans take our essence from the Goddess, our ability to grow and change from the God. We are always a part of the immortal Goddess, even when we descend from the divine sphere to take physical form. When we descend we forget what is above, although a few of us seem to be born of an old soul and vaguely remember what it was like with the Goddess. It is said that we are living on the mental plane. We have grown and risen up from the physical, through the emotional, but continue to keep our awareness of the lower planes. Many humans are beginning to transcend to the astral sphere where intuition and psychic abilities prevail. This is the Correllian view on things. This story was written by Fairmoon. It was adapted from the Story of Creation written for Witchschool.com, which in turn was adapted from Vangelo Delle Streghe. *All Quotes are from Vangelo Delle Streghe, as they appeared at Witchschool.com |

theres an interesting and sharp contrast betwen what you have posted and what the Genesis account reveals about Y-hw-h Elohim.
youre thoughts seem to be more in line with ancient pagan mythology wherein a god is split or halved into two complimentary yet opposing sides.
the God of the monotheistsic religions stands in strak contrast to this idea having created everything that is by merely speaking.
another contrast is that in your statements the goddess mother is darkness and the god father is light.
again the monotheistic idea is completely different stataing that God created both darkness and light.
i say all this to ask a question. what if any correlation do you think can be made between these two decidedly contrasting ideas of God?

Uuummm good question. I need a coffee to help me think.... hold on...
Okay, here goes... this is how I see it. The Goddess is the Potential energy, she is the dreamer of the ideas of what could be possible. Yet she is not the "doer".
She had that force within itself and when she unleashed it, the great innovative force of God was created. He is Kinetic, movement, creation and doing.
And it is his force, his energy, that created the earth and us and animals etc...
So in a sense the monotheistic story starts at this point, leaving out the Goddess.
She is in the background, continuing to dream the ideas, but is overshadowed by the dynamic force that is God.
God may take all the credit, but it was the Goddess who came up with the idea in the first place. So typical isn't it? :)
What do you think? What correlations, if any, would you make? I’ve read some of your blogs, I like them. I'd love to know what your thoughts are.
