Day 23

THE BLESSING OF THE ROSE QUEEN

The blessing of the Rose Queen : 

a devotion

to the power and Grace of the Blessed Mother;

to the mystery of the angelic realms

and the resurrection of the feminine mysteries.

An old legend tells that at the time of the winter solstice, 

all of those souls, who will incarnate in the coming year, 

draw close to the Earth.

The Divine Mother then takes a single petal from 

the Great Rose of Life  and places it in the heart of each of those 

souls who will be born. 

As that soul then is born and grows throughout its life and 

awakens its true self, that single petal will blossom in the

 heart of the individual, becoming a living Rose of Life 

that will bless the world.

You can do the Blessing of the Rose Queen prayers as a way

of calling upon Mary of the Divine Feminine to assist with

a special request.  It is not something to be used for ordinary

things, but for those special times in our life when what we are

doing just doesn't seem to be enough - when we really

need assistance.

Perform these prayers for thirty days in a row.  

Visualize what it is that you wish in as much clear detail

as possible.  Write it down, so that the words are clear

and distinct, with as little room for misinterpretation as possible.

Perform it during a quiet and special time in your day :

Oh most beautiful and gracious Rose Queen,

who came down to Earth to do good and who never

left a request unanswered, grant me the rose

Hail Mary, Goddess full of Grace

God is with you

Blessed are you among women

and blessed is the fruit of the creativity

that spirals forth from your womb.

Through your art and rituals of beauty,

we find our forgiveness and healing.

Holy Goddess, Mother of Earth,

work the mystery for your children  

Holy Mary,  Mother of God,

oh Rose Queen 

Bestow your Blessing upon us

Now and Forever

This final week has a dual focus : that of the Rose Queen
and the Immaculate Conception.
The colour is gold and the element is Earth.
We focus on two main aspects of the Suit of Roses which is

embodiment and manifestation.

Tomorrow is the beginning of my annual Art Novena to Our Lady

of Lourdes, Immaculate Conception which I have been doing

since 2012.  
We continue with our Immaculate Practise which is a combination
of creating a sacred altar, saying the mantra and prayers.
We complement these with any of the sacred working tools
such as journalling, collage making, embroidery, knitting
and tarot work.
This work is not intended only for one's own benefit
but to share the power of one's own healing
through passing the Sacred Heart Diksha on to others.
The altar forms a powerful focal and envisioning centre for our
sacred work.

All of these will be woven together this week through
beautiful wholistic body movement practise and
a video will be uploaded.

May this practise inspire you to incorporate it into your practise of devotion

and awakening to the divine feminine mysteries of Mary.
