I walked the shore yesterday as I always do, but it was a day  of inner turmoil, questing and seeking answers . I sat on my rock at high tide, watching the waves for a time then  closing my eyes, and as usual I opened them to find a seal gazing into mine…This happens every time I walk there now..a sea blessing in so many ways a connection to my Grandmother also, who would call to the seals and they would come and listen to her singing.

So I called to the Goddess and asked for her to converse with me, to send some special energy, some wisdom and a  name came through..one I have come across before but when I came home and did my reading I realised just how appropriate she was for this time..

from this wonderful source here you will learn more.

I feel so blessed and guided

~Who Is Goddess Danu . . .

Goddess Danu is considered the most ancient of all Celtic Deities.  Her name means knowledge, wisdom, teacher, wealth and abundance.  She is also known as Dana and as her Welsh equivalent, Don.

Some references have her as so ancient that she is both goddess and god and refer to Danu as an all-encompassing Divine Source.

This multi-faceted aspect of the Divine Feminine is experienced as the air we breathe, as the river that nourishes all of life, as the bounty and abundance of earth and as the cosmic energy of universal wisdom.

A Triple Goddess, which means she is able to take the form of the Maiden, the Mother or the Crone, and a Divine Lady who is the essence of the earth, the air and the essence of water, Danu is able to embody the form/energy suited the situation.  Here she brings the power of versatility and teaches us to honor and respect diversity within ourselves and within others and reminds us to honor each stage of our physical life.

Goddess Danu is strongly associated with the Tuatha de Dannan, which means “The Children of Danu.”  The Tuatha de Dannan are believed to have been the wise ones, the alchemists of ancient Ireland.  Some references have them as actual descendants of Danu.  It is believed that when the Gaelics invaded Ireland, the Tuatha de Dannan shape shifted to the Sidhe (shee) who are considered the “farey folk” or the Leprechauns of Ireland.  Danu will act as a Divine Ambassador to the Elemental Kingdoms, providing platforms for positive interactions with the Leprechauns and the Faery Folk.

Some of Danu’s symbols include holy stones, horses – particularly mares, seagulls, fish, amber, gold, royalty/empress, rivers, sea, flowing water, air, wind, earth, moon, keys and crowns.

Danu is commonly considered the first Great Mother of Ireland, Divine Creator aspect of the Goddess who birthed all things into being.  She is an Earth Goddess, associated with fertility, growth, plenty, abundance, agriculture, cultivation and with nurturing of the land.

Rivers, flowing water and the sea are also Danu’s Domain.  Within this water form she wields the magic of Divine Flow.  This River Goddess offers to clear stagnant energy and to remove blockages so that our efforts easily flow into fruition.  As the river eventually flows into the sea, here Danu brings motivation to move within the direction of our dreams.

Danu brings the attributes of inspiration, intellect, change and transcendence within her aspect as a Goddess of Air.  As a Cosmic Goddess, Danu is the essence of Universal Wisdom and Divine Knowledge.  She knows the secrets of Divine Alchemy and Divine Magic and reminds us that through our Oneness to the Divine Source, there really are no “secrets,” we are essentially one with All Encompassing Universal Wisdom.

Within all her forms Danu brings the reminder that the power to create the life that we desire resides within us.  She reminds us that we are innately attuned with the wisdom of our Ascended Self, and through the integrity of our Divine Essential Self our power is always aligned with Purity of Purpose.~

In Irish, the name means “swift flowing.” The root “dan” means “knowledge” in Gaelic. In Welsh “dan-“ means “low ground” or “moist earth.” The name Danu seems cognate with the Sanskrit, “Dana” which means “waters of heaven.” In Hindu, Danu means “unknown.”

In Celtic Mythology, the Goddess Danu was the mother Goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann (The Tribes of Danu). The Hindu Goddess Danu appears in the Vedic story “The Churning of the Oceans,” as the goddess of the primordial waters of creation.

Danu

She is a river,
Her blood flows down across the Land.
Her whispering lips birth her names into the void:
Danu
Danand
Don

Listen to the voice:
Deep as a well that vanishes into the darkness, echoing with secret desires
With sighs that bring both pleasure and pain,
Washing away death with life.

In her arms she carries all lives into the cradle of the Earth:
Embracing our bones,
Like shining pieces of stone.

Praise to Danu

“Danu rolls in the midst of never-ceasing currents flowing without a rest forever onward”1

These are the tests of the sea
The third wave is for courage
The sixth wave is for perseverance
The ninth wave is for surrender

Nine waves before you,
Nine winds above you,
Nine paths beneath you,
Nine fires transform you,
Nine wells sustain you,
Nine wisdoms open you,
Nine gifts given you,
Nine skills given you,
Nine strengths given you,
All Ninefold the blessings of the Goddess.

More to come to  explain this slight shift ..in terms of the blog, I did not want to move nor open another one so I decided to go back to my original title and source…

Many thanks to any twitter followers who stumble on this page, especially those who have given me so much love and support over the last week .
True empathy and sensitivity, understanding and wise insights are indeed rare gifts and I am blessed to have met some genuine people who have demonstrated these qualities to me and supported me during this distressing time.
I will not be driven away from blogging and/or twitter due to the pathetic twisted antics of an over indulged, childish and twisted mind/s.
I quite simply shine the light and reflective mirror into this individual/s bitterness and behavior on all levels and in all dimensions.
I pity them.

Pity them, because as soon I have found them out, through their lies and veiled manipulations that they so quickly scorned in others found that they are guilty of the same themselves, and in this duplicity revealed themselves..and in their actions since have compounded this.

My only regret is I did not act in my intuitions sooner as I watched this persons two faced behavior again and again as well as abusive behavior towards another online victim..several months ago

But thanks to the power of intuitive guidance, and guided protections, I was shown who they truly are, I have cut them out of my life on all levels, and in all dimensions, and in all ways.
All energies, manipulations and abuses sent my way are reflected back to them, three fold, as karma works it way into the core of their actions.
I thank the Goddess and those who guide and protect me for the Justice that is being meted out .
Let it be done.
For the good of all according to the free will of all
and so mote it be.

Northern Sky ( says it all)
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you’re here
Brighten my northern sky.

I’ve been a long time that I’m waiting
Been a long that I’m blown
I’ve been a long time that I’ve wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind’s eye.

Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me ’til I’m dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you’re here
Brighten my northern sky.

The Beau Brummels – The Wolf of Velvet Fortune

The air is full of strangeness,
An unfamiliar breeze blows
From deep within a forest.
I think I’ll go to see.

What’s this before me
In shadows where no wind blows?
A crying, frightened flower
Without a gentle breeze.

She’s crying for the sunlight,
That shadow left behind him.
She’s crying for the coolness
Of wind she’s never seen.

The day is getting longer.
The day is slowly dark now.
The moon a silver bubble
That watches all it sees.

Delight! Delight!
The wolf of velevet fortune is upon his merry flight!
Goodnight! Goodnight!
He travels in the beauty of the silver-glowing night!
Delight!

The flower speaks in silence.
She bends herself in sorrow.
His eyes behold her wildness,
Electrifies the air.

He moves the earth around her,
Confiding her with whispers.
He takes her from the shadows
And thickness that is there.

Swiftly! Swiftly!
Through the brush and bramble land
Under! Over!
Flashing in and out, they fly!

Moonlight! Moonlight!
See the bright star shining so
Clearly! Clearly!
Floating in the sky!

He brings her to a meadow
where the grass is tall and waving.
A tear comes to her eye
As she looks upon her throne.

And in a distant murmur,
A breeze begins its blowing.
The sun begins its rising.
The velvet wolf has flown.

Delight! Delight!
The wolf of velevet fortune is upon his merry flight!
Goodnight! Goodnight!
He travels in the beauty of the silver-glowing night!

This came to me like a message  the way things do , sometimes so apt.  A post will follow that perhaps will only mean something to me and  no one else..but I was walking in  the woods on Wednesday and given wisdom and advice and guidance there… during turbulent times its reassuring to be warned and protected.

Humpback whale songs are transferred from year to year and evolve in a similar fashion to the verbally transmitted tribal lore of Aboriginal cultures from where the term songlines is derived.

The East Australian Humpback Whales travel in an unending cycle of migration between their birthplace in the inter-reef lagoon of the Great Barrier Reef and their Antarctic feeding areas.

Their world is comprised of vast stretches of ocean where songs emitted by the Humpback Whales can be heard over great distances. Each year the whales sing a new song. Haunting melodies of radiant joy which fill the ocean along the East Coast of Australia.

When ecosystems across the planet are collapsing and species are becoming extinct at an accelerating rate, the East Australian Humpback Whales are making a remarkable recovery. They have become Australias national treasure and a symbol of hope for our imperiled environment.

SONGLINES documents the evolution of the intricate and beautiful East Australian Humpback song. An hour of pristine digital recordings selected from five different years between 1992 and 2008 which draw the listener into a mysterious and majestic world.

Audio CD: 5 Tracks, running time 60 minutes. Track 3 features Migaloo, the white whale recorded in 1998.
