Greetings friends and welcome today to this meditation journey with the goddess Morgan Le Fay.
Morgan Le Fay has many embodiments and many tales and myth and story and song.
We may recognise the name from Arthurian legend but Morgan herself is far more ancient and many more tales to her name than simply this side story along with King Arthur.
As was so often the way with powerful women she has been portrayed in negative ways which inspired me to create this journey,
To create a journey of meditation for days when maybe we feel misunderstood or misrepresented.
And Morgan can help us on this beautiful journey in her many tales,
Her many embodiments,
Her many strands of magic.
So as always my dear ones,
Take your time,
Find a place that feels comfortable and restful for you,
A place where you feel warm,
Comfortable and supported.
As we connect to our inner world today,
The easeful rise and fall of the breath moves through the body like a gentle wave drawing in and drawing out.
Allowing the noise and busyness of the day drift from you,
Floating upon still waters away from you.
In our minds eye we envisage ourselves standing overlooking the ocean.
And this ocean may reflect feelings you are currently experiencing in your day or in your life.
If you feel calm and settled the water may be still reflecting the sunlight and the clouds above.
If you are feeling fractious or stressed the water may be choppy.
If you are feeling anger maybe great crashing waves and frothing white horses thunder towards the shore.
Allow yourself to witness the ocean and hear its song.
Allow yourself to take in this experience of gazing out over the ocean and seeing its waves,
Its cycles,
Its rhythms.
These many faces of the ocean can reflect our mood and our energy.
Just as the many faces of Goddess Morgan Le Fay can represent the many facets of ourselves.
The name Morgan means of the sea.
This is a Goddess who embodies the many powers of the ocean both powerful and beautiful and dangerous and changeable.
You may envisage Morgan Le Fay as a beautiful mermaid or a fearsome siren.
Empowered feminine divine.
Embodiment of every side of our being both the beauty and abundance of the mermaid but the changeable nature and the fury in the siren song at injustice of their situation.
So Morgan is a Goddess of water and then Le Fay is that connection with the fairy land.
The fae,
The fairies,
A world of magic.
And Morgan Le Fay is also represented as a fairy queen,
As a sorceress.
In Italian the Goddess is known as Fata Morgana meaning the fairy queen.
And this name Fata Morgana also lends its name to a very special kind of mirage that floats above the ocean.
In German this is still what they call mirages to this day.
Here in this idea of the world of fairies,
Of mirages,
Morgan represents this other world.
This energy that lives within sparkles and hidden glances,
Illusions,
Images out of focus.
A world of the other.
From our place looking out over the ocean we may imagine ourselves as Morgan Le Fay or perhaps one of her archetypes.
Mermaid,
Siren,
Sorceress,
Fairy,
Goddess.
Empowered woman.
Connected to the elements of the world.
Physical,
Energetic and spiritual.
The deep,
Dark,
Silent underworld of the ocean where all is quiet.
And the light and sparkling land of the Fay of magic,
Of fairies,
Of flowers.
Such power in these contradictions and embracing of every cycle and rhythm and element of the divine feminine and of ourselves.
And as we connect to this image of the ocean and the songs of the sea that are different for us all.
We may hear the songs of mermaids or sirens.
Of waves lapping.
Of white horses thundering to shore.
Of seashells held to our ears.
The cry of seagulls.
Or the tinkling music of sand and pebbles dancing on retreating waves.
Here we may weave our own songs.
Songs that roar like banshees.
Whispered wishes to dive into dark and quiet waters.
To settle near the gentle whirls of the waves.
In gentle song of healing waters and sacred waves under the light of the moon.
The songs and the myths and the stories.
They connect us to a power.
A power of the divine feminine.
A power of the ocean.
A power of water.
Its gentle strength and rhythm shaping the earth.
All women are the ocean.
Both magical,
Powerful,
Ruthless and wild.
We are all these things and more.
Like the many stories of Morgan Le Fay.
We are all and we are one.
Solemnes of asynchronous nature.
Let us once again bring our awareness to the breath as a rolling wave.
Maybe we take a few deeper breaths.
The gentle power and rhythm of the breath drawing us back to the room and back to our day.
As we journey to the end of this meditation today,
May you go forth with love and power and embracing every element of your inner world,
The rough seas and the calm waters,
The fairy queen and the sorceress.
Thank you for joining me.
Namaste my darlings.
