THE GODDESS OF CREATIVE POWER ~ © Sue O’Kieffe 2009
A couple of nights ago I began a conversation with my guidance asking why I’ve had laryngitis for over two weeks. The answers I’ve been receiving have been most revealing. I have a history of “issues” with my voice, anyway and I have been working all summer on healing that part of my past.
My guidance told me that I lost my voice because I did not appreciate its power. I was told I was not being punished. I asked if I had somehow created this situation and was told yes. When I first became sick, I remember being terrified of losing my voice as I coughed and coughed. This shows me what a powerful manifester I have become, and what a powerful example of the Law of Attraction this experience has been.
In meditation I saw my voice as a candle. The flame was lit and bright but there was rope around it. The binding was my laryngitis . Instead of focusing on this image, I decided to draw a healing image, so I could see something strong and positive before me.
I love this goddess. I saw her immediately as terra cotta statuary. The symbolism on her body and around her head represent ideas waiting to be expressed. I am intrigued that she is a mermaid. I’ve done some research on mermaid symbolism, but I’ve not read anything yet that resonates with me. The three roses represent Maiden/Mother/Crone. She has the bluebird of happiness sitting on her shoulder offering her messages ( alittle birdie told me). And she wears a medallion on her throat that helps her effectively communicate her thoughts and feelings. The medallion symbolizes her ideas (the triangle) about the Self (the sun), growth (the spiral) and relationships (the equidistant cross) held in completeness (the circle). She sees much (the eyes=clairvoyance), even with one eye closed. She is powerful and she knows it. I am going to print and frame her, and put her on my altar.
Losing my voice has been a powerfully introspective time for me. The irony of losing my voice while Mercury (planet of communication) has been in retrograde is not lost on me either. I am so so ready, though, to join my Quantum Self who is already laughing and singing.
what beautiful imagery!
She is gorgeous, powerful and alive….just like the process you describe. Such spaciousness and openness to new awareness! Brava, brava, brava!!!!!
Thanks for coming to visit, Jan. Your comments mean mucho to me!
Looks like you have envisioned a potent and llovely piece of jewelry to create and wear yourself! Wonderful !
This piece speaks volumes, with or without your voice. It’s beautiful, powerful, generous, giving, airy. I love it! Laura
Sue, this is powerful, and so wonderful that you found your answers and healing through listening. The throat chakra is also about that inner voice, as well as outer expression.
I’ve often had issues with this part of me too, with a demand to “speak nicely”, ie, don’t speak the whole truth. I’ve cleared a lot of it up and still continue to do so.
Thanks for a great article! What a beautiful image you have created to illustrate it.
