Day 20

Mary Sophia

Om Jai Mata Mary Ma

Jai Jai Ma

Hail Mary

My collage card for today :

I am the One who is holding you in my most intimate embrace

whilst the city that you built crumbles around you and

I am the One that re-births you into the light of a new day.

I am your mother, now and always.

Ave Maria

Feedback

I have been walking with Hettienne BhaktyMa for 21 years on this path. I have done the work and am a Flamekeeper in the Temple of Mary. She created a sacred Cosmic Christ pendant for me and the moment I put it around my neck intense emotional and spiritual healing began in my life. I immediately had visions of where I am held back and tied down by my own fears and projections. Then one day, during meditation, the rosary fell apart in my hands, and I can say that the healing was complete. I have not looked back since. Charlotte Nirmala Devi Maria

Feedback on sacred altar rosary of Our Lady of Lourdes by Arathi Ma

I received our Lady of Lourdes, mystical healer stunning wearable shrine today. The moment Hettienne shipped it, I saw a white light with a white flame in its centre. Throughout the shrine's travel I would keep visions of it. I can firmly attest that this is more than a necklace, but carries divine consciousness which is transferred powerfully through the artist's love and devotion. The package arrived fully intact, filled with frankincense and myrrh and tiny shells and pebbles, the precious necklace safely wrapped. Thank you! Arathi Ma

Feedback on Sacred Heart of Mary Diksha

Hi ma
From the moment I called on Mother christ, my black madonna, I felt immediately her energy, and this warm orange and red colour, this sacred heart warmth, plus all through the diksha and meditation I could see my fleshy healthy red pumping heart, the full physical aliveness and action and blood. I must have been meditating a while, and I had to rest when I finished, as you said we should. I had felt some emotion at the beginning of the diksha, but the rest of the experience was quite peaceful, I really took the renunciation to heart, I really meant it, to offer myself. Anyhow after wards I went down to the store to go get things and I felt a wave of love that made me a bit emotional, then I got home and I just started howling, crying for about an hour like I haven't sobbed in a while.
Then I knew She was working in me and I felt empowered and at peace x x x

Pilgrimage and sacred art

Pilgrimage and sacred ritual is my foremost spiritual practise. Raised Dutch Reformed Protestant, the rich lustre of sacred and holy places offered a well of inspiration for my parched soul. My travels have taken me to many different religions, cultures and traditions. You will see on the internet that I have written on many aspects of the spiritual journey. Until I came into contact with the mystical side of Christianity. My first ritual I attended was the festival of Archangel Michael in Mont Sant'Angelo in Italy, then visiting Padre Pio. Then followed walking the pilgrimage of Bridgid, the sacred well and labyrinth in Kildare, Ireland. And that is when my art appeared in the form of paintings. Ritual grounded in the knowing of the unconscious, awakens us from the dream of habitual seeing and thinking. The conscious mind lacks the ability or maybe the neural pathway to communicate the new-found wisdom intellectually, and thus the expression through art steps in. Well, that is only my experience and understanding, of course. But I had not been an artist till I participated in sacred ritual. My stay at Lourdes and participating in the rituals daily, turned me into a full time artist. When one participates in a ritual (probably any ritual, but when you regard it as sacred, you add a certain 'light' to it) you are transported into a different time and space : colors are different; the light is different; everything has meaning and the ordinary become extra-ordinary. My art novena for Lourdes in particular, highlights my statement that our lives are the altar to the Divine and I strive to capture that numinosity of the sacred ritual in my photographs and altars. I only started creating sacred altars on my return from Lourdes. These small shadowboxes are vignettes, a moment in time in the life of ordinary human beings, lifted out of the mundane into the numinous, merely by seeing life as sacred.

Some of my story

We are forged and fired in the crucible of the heart and art gives life and meaning to our stories.

My prayer is that I share the right medicine for you and that my words will create a sacred altar reflecting the beauty, truth, wisdom and justice which is potent and potential in our world.

The ancient tradition of creating sacred altars used to belong to the Great Mother and her devotees and it was incorporated into religion by the nuns and convents. I call it Sacred Altars and it is my offering on the Altar of Life. Twenty years ago I became a pilgrim to sacred places on the Earth and especially to where the Divine has stepped through the veil to reach us and where Mary had appeared to others. I bring waters from the holy springs and rivers; I bring back oil and salts sanctified by the Presence of the energies at these sacred places. Through the years I have shared all of my pilgrimages with my blog readers and eventually I opened a shop . I bring back my own direct experiences and my own transformation and make sacred altars which I share with others through my shop The French Madonna on Etsy.
In 2008 I organised the Goddess Conference in Franschoek, South Africa. In 2009 i was initiated into the tantrik tradition as a shaktypat giver and devotee to Devi. In 2009 I received my spiritual name Sri Bhaktymayi Ma and in 2010 I visited the sacred spring of Lourdes and my devotion to Blessed Mary became more formal as I accepted the name of Hettienne Bhakty Maria Ma. In 2014 I founded the Temple of Mary with 12 flamekeepers, with annual initiations and retreats. For years I led healing circles, created sacred drama, led sacred dance workshops and circles and work was featured twice on the SABC (South African Broadcast Company) program Free Spirit. I wrote a monthly column on Tarot for the national magazine Namaste and offered tarot workshops. These spiritual and creatives practises led to the creation of The Mysteries of Mary tarot deck, published two years ago. Currently I am working on the Mysteries of the Black Madonna deck and book.

I create from the eye of the heart, rather than the eye of the mind and hope to illuminate and show the underlying image and Divine Presence in the vignette of our personal stories.
