The Oracle of Luna with Bridget Engels- Conversations with Goddesses

Welcome to this February 2024 New Moon/Brigid Guided Meditation! In this transformative short meditation, I will be your guide as we align with the current cosmic energies and take an inner journey to connect with the Celtic Goddess Brigid. She is one of the most beloved and worshiped of Goddesses, now as well as in the ancient past and is celebrated on Brigid's Day, Imbolc and Candlemas on February 1st & 2nd. Brigid is a powerful and ancient Triple Goddess who is associated with Healing, Poetry/Creativity, Smithcraft, Midwifery; all united by her element of Fire. (Fires of Inspiration, Fires of the Forge, and Fires of the Hearth). Brigid is very multifaceted and has many aspects and is known by many names. The Irish called her Brighde; she was Bride in Scotland, Brigantia in Northern Britain, Brigandu in France, and Birgitta in Sweden; just to name a few. Brigid’s origins are complex and varied. A daughter of a Celtic chieftain, she rose to power and popularity by healing the sick and uniting tribes in Ireland during the Bronze Ages. She appears in Irish mythology as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the daughter of the Dagda and wife of Bres. She became so popular and ingrained in Celtic pagan history that she eventually transitioned into Christianity and was canonized by the Catholic Church. She is both Goddess and Saint. The Sisters of the Brigidine Order in Kildare, Ireland currently embrace her Goddess aspect and merge the old world with the new.

Goddess Brigid is essentially the sacred flame within all of us. These are not only the flames of inspiration, passion and creativity; but also of purification and transformation. Brigid’s truth is powerful because to make way for renewal; we need to consciously burn away what no longer serves us. Brigid knows this and can be with us to spark this inner flame so that we can remake, reimagine and make new again moving with the unending cycles of life. Indeed, Brigid is the supreme Soul Smith - transforming our souls. Her sacred powers are inclusive and she will meet you where you are. Together let's relax, open our hearts and minds and journey with Brigid!

In this episode, I am delighted to be one of the featured presenters in the Return to the Mother Online Global Summit 2024 created by my friend Frances Billinghurst. The topic that I will be speaking about is: Healing the Damage of Patriarchy Through Moon Circles.

In the Return to the Mother Summit, we will be creating a safe and sacred space where a global community of soul-aligned change-makers and visionaries can be inspired as to how to create a new future direction for ourselves, our human collective and for our beloved planet.

All presentations included in this summit are designed to offer ways to include the divine feminine back into our spiritual practices.

Each and every one of us is connected to the Mother in all Her forms: as our physical Mother, as the Goddess, as Feminine Consciousness, and even as our planet. In this summit; we explore the interweaving threads between the Divine Feminine within mainstream culture, present day society, Mother Earth, Nature and Goddess consciousness.

During this interview with Bridget you will learn:

• Why Moon Circles can heal women of the damage caused by patriarchy.
• Inspiration behind Goddess Meditations.
• Why is it important to elevate the Sacred Feminine in present day Goddesses who are doing the work in the here and now
• What “The Oracle of Luna” podcast is all about.

Join us in this episode, for a conversation with the Author, Priestess, and Tarot Deck Creator: Leeza Roberston! Leeza Robertson is an international bestselling author with Llewellyn Worldwide. She has created and published several Tarot Decks since 2016. She is passionate about exploring the connection between the Goddess and the Priestess path. Leeza is from the Aussie bush and is living her best life in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Leeza tells us she is not a spiritual person as much as she is a researcher. Her wife influenced Leeza with opening up to her up to Reiki and alternative healing when she was sick and it helped with her healing. Leeza got into Tarot when she lost her eyesight for a while due to a sinus infection. She dreamed of Tarot cards in the darkness. When that was healed she attended an event by Barbara Moore, one of the matriarchs of Tarot. And afterwards Leeza took a lesson with Barbara.

In 2016 Leeza published her first Tarot Deck, Animal Totem Tarot and she has published over 7 more Tarot Decks since then. Leeza chats about the process of publishing a Tarot deck with her publisher: Llewellyn Worldwide. We also talk about one of her books: Tarot Priestess. Leeza identifies as a Priestess and not as a Witch. She noticed that there was not much information or literature for those who are on the Priestess path but much more on the path of the Witch. The Priestess lineage for Women has been somewhat neglected or misunderstood. Leeza struggled with the Divine Femininity theory as a Queer woman and she began looking for the Goddess in Nature as a sacred space of growth, success and building. She started to drop my biased walls of belief and open herself up to building her own personal unique relationship with the Goddess.
Leeza feels that divination and cartomancy is a devotional and ritualistic practice to the Goddess and definitely part of the Priestess path. Leeza wants to communicate and explore how the path of the Witch is very different from the path of the Priestess. If we can create space with communication with the Goddess through our Tarot or Oracle Cards; that can slow us down, center us and open our receptivity to the teachings and wisdom of the Goddess. Tune in and be enlightened!
