13 Days of Darkness for 2016
Posted December 5th, 2016 by Lupa
*****13 DAYS OF DARKNESS FOR 2016*****
For Winter Solstice 2016, Northern Hemisphere
Prepare to receive the Solar Radiance of the Winter Solstice with this revisioning of the xian advent countdown to 12/25.
Begin 13 days before Winter Solstice; for 2016 that’s THURSDAY 12/8.
Ground and center yourself. Since this is about darkness, don’t light candles.
Say:
“ HECATE, today I honor the darkness within. I acknowledge and begin to release my feelings of ______.”
Allow yourself to honor whatever comes up IN THE MOMENT. Keep it focused on ONE WORD such as grief, anger, fear, shame, doubt, unworthiness, victimization, depression, self-loathing, jealousy…
Each day repeat the process, working with whatever comes up in the moment. If one particular feeling comes up more than once, that’s ok. You may even find that you need to work with one particular feeling for the entire 13 days.
(Checkout the lyrics below to UPRISING, a song by MUSE, about fighting external controls.)
Thank Hecate on the 13th day.
On the Winter Solstice, WEDNESDAY 12/21, exact time Sol enters Cap is 2:45AM PST, ground and center yourself, light a candle and say:
“SEKHMET, I am ready to receive Solar Radiance into my life!”
(See below for info about Sekhmet.)
Celebrate both the sun’s rebirth and your own.
Season’s Bleetings,
Lupa
Here are lyrics to a song by MUSE called Uprising. I think we need this sort of thing now.
Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume
They’ll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(so come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, Green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless, red tape to keep the truth confined
(so come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
so come on
Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You’d see that
We should never be afraid to die
(so come on)
Rise up and take the power back
It’s time the fat cats had a heart attack
They know that their time’s coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not enslave us
We will be victorious
Hey .. hey … hey .. hey! (repeat)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They can not control us
We will be victorious
Hey .. hey … hey .. hey! (repeat)

SEKHMET
Her Name is derived from the Egyptian word ‘Sekhem’,
which means “power” or “might”.
The word ‘sekhem’ is literally inseparable
from Sekhmet and Her worship.
The mantra Sa Sekhem Sahu can be chanted
to balance and increase your inner power.
Sa Sekhem Sahu is pronounced
Sa (Sah) , Sekhem (Say-Kem) , Sahu (Sah-Hoo).
Sa means the breath of life;
Sekhem means power or might;
Sahu is the realized human.
Thank you for this powerful offering. I plan to join this ritual knowing your heart is with mine. I remember visiting Sekhmet’s temple when I took a group of women to Egypt for a Healing Rage Ceremony. She stood tall without apology, and we all felt profoundly embraced by her energy and grace. Your offering is both timely and healing for all. Bows of gratitude.
