The New Priestess is Emerging

The New Priestess is Emerging.  She is a space-keeper.  She holds the nest of loving energy, inside of which her colleagues and friends may transform like a chick bursting from an egg.  She holds the container – the perfect balance of masculine protection and guidance and feminine nurturing and comfort.

The New Priestess energy is different than the old.  She does not claim full dominion over access to a supremely Feminine deity.  She is not the only way in.  She does not exist in contrast to a masculine Priest.  She has a new way of embracing the male and female as one, even as she utilizes each energy separately, as they are each beautiful reflections of the whole.

Good Choices: Discernment vs. Judgement

We make judgments about people all the time, and they are usually not helpful.  “That jerk just cut me off on the freeway!”  “That girl is rude.”  “That guy is an ignorant fool.”  We make our judgments based on rudimentary perceptions and limited experience.

Life experience has taught many of us to be careful about making judgments.  We have learned, usually the hard way, that making judgments and having expectations usually leads to disappointment at best.  Our judgments close our hearts, and our expectations put limitations on an otherwise limitless future.

But sometimes you Know that something, or someone, is not good for you.  Your gut tells you.  Your instincts tell you.  Your angels whisper in your ear.  You can feel it in your heart that this thing, this situation, this relationship – is not right for you.  Should you toss away this feeling, this Knowing, because it is a “judgment?”  Should you feel guilt for having such seemingly judgmental feelings?  No.  To do so would be to ignore your powers of Discernment, and to make meaningless the Gift of Free Choice.
