The Story of the Five Weaving Sisters – Part 2

The Story of the Five Weaving Sisters

Into our dreaming stepped the Five Weaving sisters… Five Great Goddesses from beyond time, whose story echoes in different mythologies the world over.

We find their presence stitched into many tales from ancient Europe, and in the Celtic-Avalonian traditions. Five weaving Goddesses with different faces, different golden threads which carry Her energy, Her presence, and Her gifts.

Five Sisters, five Great Goddesses, weave a magnificent multi coloured mantle.

Maiden, Lover, Mother, Queen and Crone, each Goddess equally contributing their threads, which they weave into the fabric of life.

Upon it, their design; of leaf and tree, of apple and pomegranate, flowers and roots, snake and bird, of fish and mammal, of purpose and evolution, takes shape, and glows.

The seeds of immortality, the flowers of passion, the harvest of deeds, and the fruits of every underworld journey, are all woven into the weave.

With the greatest of care they create this beauty, taking turns to mend, with invisible tender stiches, the occasional rip or the tiniest tear, never losing the rhythm of the weft and warp.

Together they weave a cloth of shimmering essence, its patterns created with the golden threads of karma, that they spin on long, magical spindles.

To spin this thread, they card the fibres of their specific gifts, to make sure only the finest are included. Each thread carries their essence, and when they cut it, these gifts are given; to all who wear the magnificent mantle of life, to all of us.

Since the beginning of human time… the second sister, the Lover Goddess offers the thread of Sacred Union. Springing from Her own fair hands, and magical in its miraculous nature, it sings with Her presence.

This golden thread of Her loving healing, She gives into the actions of our heart and soul, our minds and bodies, into the realness of our lives.

For this Lover is Goddess of Union in all its forms.

She invites us to receive, carry and share Her gift. It is up to us to wear the mantle well, to weave the thread into action, and to carry its treasures in our hearts.

The 2025 Goddess Conference is a Lover year, second in a cycle of 5, through which we will weave a golden thread of how the Divine Feminine actively manifests to, and through, us in life.

The dreaming and planning work has started in a new group of ceremonialists, working together, and feeling into, different dualities and their ‘meeting edge’ to connect us into the theme of this Lover year. We are questing into the Avalonian mysteries held within the mythology of the Chalice and the Staff or Blade, to ask what are the gift of this duality, or the opposites of our conditioning and pre-conceived ideas that may guide us into really meeting the Goddess of Sacred Union?

For in 2025 we will be honouring Goddess of Sacred Union and the many ways in which She offers us the reality of Her Love beyond polarity, in which dualities dissolve, or fully meet in a lived experience of non-separation. She is sacred union, but also the gateway into sacred union for us to experience.

GODDESS OF SACRED UNION

Lover Goddess of Sacred Union informs our relationship to this reality, that is Her presence in our lives. She is with us in the elements that make up our world, our senses and our being, She is the love that binds spirit to matter, that restores to fullness our belonging from the illusions of separation, and that ignites our longing for connection in healthy, grounded love-relationships both with ourselves and with another.

She speaks to us through our connection to Her nature; to how we may feel when we are in harmony within ourselves, and with our surroundings. To how we are within the flow of ease when our rightful actions and thoughts are guided by Her presence as Love. And how in inner- and outer- relationship, the union of masculine and feminine becomes the mirror portal for ‘knowing’ the complete unity of Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine that is Her, and that we are an integral part of.

THE 2025 GODDESS CONFERENCE

Soon we will be able to reveal more of what the Goddess of Sacred Union will bring us in the 2025 Goddess conference.

For now, perhaps you can feel the threads of connection pulling you gently into the weave of Her love and magic.

Do come and join us for the in-person Lover year Conference (29th July – 3rd Aug) to be a part of it all and enter the Temple of the Lover Goddess.
