This time, the waves calmed as a star kindled over Her. She walked to the shores of creation and through the deep forests. As she walked, she grew greater with child and the star grew brighter. When the Mistress of All Things came to the cave at the center of the world, the entrance into the abyss, her angels and the elder kin drew about her. Her handmaiden stood at the entrance of the cave as the star's light grew ten thousandfold, illuminating the place almost as bright as day. - Clear Recital: CDV, The Birth of the Holy Daughter verses 16 to 19, pg 21 lines 12 to 22
As strange as it sounds, right now, the Bright Mother is walking through creation to her place of laying in. Prayers to Marya are especially effective, for in this moment, we are one with her, though we do not know it. Even as she moves through the whole of creation, she moves through us to the center of our being. Take a moment, now and between Mother's Night, when she enters the Cave of the World, and meditate on the closeness of your celestial mother. Feel her love and concern for your well being that has moved her to take this action.
For in entering creation, Marya briefly sets foot upon the wheel of incarnation. In a fallen world, perfection walks to bring our deliverance. She suffers the pains of pregnancy and labor with out the grief that death may await her or her babe on the moment of delivery. Marya has become one with us, she knows our hopes and dreams. She knows our sorrows and losses. She knows us in a way that no intimate companion of this world can. She sees our true callings in this world and gently encourages us to reach for them. She comforts us as only a loving mother can as we struggle in this world.
And yet, her greatest act of love is yet to come.
