Sybil, Oracles of the Goddess
Fellowship of Isis Liturgy by Olivia Robertson
Part V. Influence of the Zodiac
X. THE GODDESS BRYNHILD OF ICELAND
Sagittarius. We Find Our Divine Mission
Priestess: (Invocation) Fiery
Goddess Brynhild, Who with Thy plume-crowned Sisters dost ride across the sky to rescue the souls of those slain in battle,
bring us energy that we may fight for the good cause!
Oracle: Be still. Whatever noble
purpose you have in mind, however glorious the cause, if bad means are used for success, evil will triumph over good. For
the white plumes of light that pour from the heads of the Valkyrie are ideals: and ideals are dangerous if pursued with fanaticism.
And when a cause wrongly undertaken is armed by auras of fire and spears of light, disaster is inevitable!
So was it with Asgard, a planet of fair promise. So was it with Atlantis. Planets
and continents have been devastated by the greed and ambition of mortal men. Humanity is but one small part of an evolutionary
procession, and is in the position of greatest danger. For man is neither entirely animal nor god: so he feels torn in two.
Only man is totally lonely within his own soul, and believes that he can be extinguished by death. Woman is happier, for when
she is with child she shares her body with another, whom she may love more than herself. Animals and Deities share their own
particular group consciousness, and do not experience death. But man, entrapped in his own ego and dreading death, may in
despair wish to drag all creatures with him into Ragnarok, a final cataclysm.
In reality no such cataclysm exists. The true Asgard, Tir na-nOg, Emhain, exist forever
in the Sphere of Causes. They may be experienced by those who have transcended duality. That which appears to be destroyed
in the physical realm of effects, is but a reflection distorted by troubled waters. If you see life as a continual battle
between Gods and Giants, Angels and Demons - you yourself are lost in the Hell of Continual Warfare. How can you, so blind,
rely on any theology or ethical system to teach you which cause is good or evil? Men do cruel actions in the name of religion
or an ideal. Thus they may break their thread, which unites them with their true Divine selves.
Though struggle appears necessary in the worldly sphere, the best battle is against
one's own wrongful ideas and passions, and not against the neighbour. So if you would ride with the Valkyrie, let your soul
be attractive enough for these fiery Maidens to wish to save you alive from the battleground of the world! May We lift all
of you to the Heaven of eternal Love and Wisdom.
