Sybil, Oracles of the Goddess

Fellowship of Isis Liturgy by Olivia Robertson

Part IV. The Solar System and Ourselves

V. THE GODDESS VENUS OF ROME

Venus. We Learn How to Love
 
 
Priestess: Glorious Venus, Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, awaken in our hearts. All long for Thee. We cannot live without Thee.

Oracle: The time has come when true marriage is being manifested on earth. Until now, men have depended emotionally upon their mother, and have dominated over their wives and children. The patriarch has retained earthly rulership entirely for himself; but has surrendered the domain of the emotions to his mother. So men have dominated the world through military and political power, wielded through use of technology, from sword to gun and bomb. But behind the scenes the mothers have ruled their sons' hearts, and kept them emotionally childish, and have chosen their wives for them. And the veil that concealed their hidden power was superstitious ignorance. This was understandable in past ages, when humanity was at a childish level. But now a catastrophic stage has been reached.

The development of scientific technology has outstripped emotional development. It is as if children in a nursery during a fight had discovered a loaded pistol! Through the ages the Deities have watched and sometimes aided the free development of human consciousness, in relation also to other life forms. We have occasionally projected symbolic Mystery Dramas, using willing actors and actresses on the earthly arena. For to the Deities this world is a shadow of reality, a story woven on the loom of time and space. To help each progressive stage, differing Dramas have been given. Deities are the parents of all beings on earth and, in humanity's childhood, the story of sorrowing Mother and slaughtered Son was enacted.

The myths of Cybele and Attis, of Venus and Adonis, of Mary and Jesus, taught through catharsis. Those who felt the tragedy in their hearts saw the wickedness of wars and persecutions. This is the education of the heart, to instill good emotion through empathy. Now new mysteries are being presented by the Deities so take heart. Humanity has, after an unduly protracted childhood, reached adolescence. Art and Nature are at last properly respected. Dreams of twin-souls, of ideal marriages of God and Goddess, Knight and Princess, are awakening in many souls not as fairy-tales, but as possibilities. Visionaries are gazing upon the twin-stars of Sirius, and meditating upon star-ships and of the ideal marriage of Isis and Osiris.

I come when you invoke Me, rising from the sea of the galaxy. I am the morning and evening star, and I am the Milky Way for from my breasts sprang your universe. I am within all beings so I am shown as a woman surrounded by winged children. Ideal unions of Goddess and God, woman and man, animal with animal, produce creativity.
