I love reading up on different themes and seeing how it all comes together; it’s not surprising as I majored in Philosophy (Tufts ‘02). That probably explains this blog 👀
Last year, I started reading the Hermetic books from the 2nd to 4th centuries, which are attributed to the greek Hermes Trismegistus. Believe it or not, the original set doesn’t mention the Kybalion (the 9 manifesting principles); those were channeled 1,500 years later. Instead, it’s a dissertation on the origins of the Universe, humanity’s place in it, and how we can practice meditation to connect with the divine. The first part looks at astrology, that was my favorite chapter. For the purpose of this blog, it tells us that when we meditate on the image of a god (or a goddess), that deity pulls us up, closer to his or her level.
The books read as a dialogue between Hermes and his teacher, in the style of the Greek philosophers that we read at school. Hermes is given that visualization, but we can all apply it. My gut feeling is that we can then vibrate in harmony with that goddess, radiating light out to earth in unison. Rather than ask for miracles and everyday goodies, let’s climb that ladder and manifest it for ourselves, as part of a dynamic duo. We always get what we give - let’s send love, joy and abundance to everyone.
This is what we try to do in meditations with Tara, the female Buddha of liberation …

Kabbalistically, the world’s dysfunction and chaos end (in part) when we reclaim our feminine energy, raising it to the same level of importance as the masculine. It’s a ladder of awareness that we climb through meditation and grounding, and it takes us out of a mental framework where zero-sum games rule. Your Higher Self is halfway up that ladder. Intuition opens the door 👉🏻 Intuitive Meditations HERE.
Kabbalah speaks of 10 spheres of Light - the 3rd one down from the top is the divine feminine. The 10th, where we live and breathe, has a strong feminine energy energy that protects us - it’s a reflection of that third sphere. I have an inkling that Mary Magdalene can help us navigate a lot of the intermediate spheres. Those are spheres that we interact with on a daily basis through our mind and emotions.
I began connecting with Mary Magdalene this year after a trip to London when her image popped up everywhere. My intuition tells me that the balancing of masculine and feminine polarities has to happen in the same framework where we lost it, so that it takes root in the unconscious (especially for us women). Otherwise it’s like you have to leave home to feel valued and accepted. That points me to Catholicism, with its Kabbalistic and Ancient Egyptian roots.
Goddess figures are present in many cultures but their psychology and energy vibe shifts based on their concept. Choose the one that feels right for you.
