Sybil, Oracles of the Goddess
Fellowship of Isis Liturgy by Olivia Robertson
Part III. Cycles of the Year
IV. THE GODDESS ASTARTE OF SYRIA
Astarte and Adonis Festival. 21st - 24th June. The Cone of Astarte. The Reception of Divine Power
Priestess: (Invocation)
Divine Astarte, Queen of Heaven, Virgin of the Sea, we invoke Thee! Thou Who art Venus Urania, Goddess of Fertility and
Love, replenish our hungry earth. Bring us hidden knowledge for our use from past aeons, Who art Mother of the Titans.
Oracle: Restlessly
you look backwards and forwards in time and outwards to the stars for a world of power and love, whereas it is all around
you now! The lost Paradise is as near as head and heart and is enjoyed by children and simple people living in woods and wild
pastures. The gifts of the Tree of life shine within the earth and within each creature. Yet you have lost the Power to use
them. For experiment as you will with the forces known to your five senses, the greater part of the physical world, the Etheric
Plane, is lost to you! Yet it is from there that all health and energy come. Etheric Power comes from greater planes to animate
the earth and your own bodies, through the Power Centres within the earth and yourselves. In Paradise the felled forest still
stands and the parched river beds flow with life bringing waters. Nature Spirits enjoy the lovely land of Ether which is visited
by beings from beyond the sun and by the Adepti.
You can have little real effect on earth through dreaming in the astral
realm of gentle love and beauty, until you can understand and experience the etheric part of the physical plane. It is from
thence that Apparitions of the Goddess manifest to Saints and the Gods show themselves to Hermits. From that plane miracles
are mightily manifested through the Life Force which animates all existences on earth. Yet this very part of the physical
world may be a place of fear to you when your souls leave your bodies on death. Not understanding its true nature, the etheric
realm may become a limbo for earthbound spirits. However, know that any evil force in this realm is very Transient because
it cannot subsist there on its own, but has to draw its existence from plasm produced by unpleasant emotions. But force for
good can exist there because it draws its Power from Spheres of Light and Power.
Every day a dawn and dusk each of you should become aware of your own
etheric Body of light, with its many-coloured centres and flowing lines of life force. Pray to Me to help you, for I am Mistress
both of the rising Earth Force and of the descending Light emanating from greater planes. When these two forces meet within
yourself, Love and Truth are one in Harmony and you will attain Illumination. Even in your first attempts you should gain
health and happiness, understanding and a kindly love for all. As you progress you will become a beacon Light for all who
accept your rays of goodness.
Each woman can be her own original manifestation of the Goddess: and every man individually
should show forth the God. But first you must surrender selfishness and arrogance. Be receptive with humility to the Deities,
and then you yourselves can give forth the Light.
