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.
