Hello Lovelies!
We do apologize for the radio silence this past month. It’s been a roller coaster for both SidheSidhe and I with a whole bunch of different life things being thrown at us… But I did want to take a few minutes to share something with you all…
This all started in the spring sometime… I purchased a small tumbled piece of Larimar as a joke for a D&D game that we were playing with some friends. Our upcoming quest was to find the lost Larimar stone, so I brought it to show everyone that Larimar was a real crystal, and also see if I could get some XP (it didn’t work). After purchasing it, I found I really did enjoy holding the Larimar, it made me smile, and feel more connected.. To what I couldn’t say. Fast forward a couple months – I attended a drum circle at a friend’s. She and I were talking about this and that before the event, and she mentioned the Egyptian Pantheon, which I know some about… Not much, but some. As a joke, I said “the only thing I have in common with the Egyptians is a love of black eyeliner.” Well… jokes on me! Within a few days, I found myself on a Facebook live sale for a shop local to the Cincinnati area – Sterling Seraph. They have GORGEOUS crystal jewelry, so I highly recommend checking them out if you are in the market. Their live sales on Facebook usually have some pretty nice discounts, too!
Anyways, I digress… Within a couple of weeks I had purchased not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 new pendants all with either Moonstone, or Larimar on them. Don’t get me wrong, I think those are gorgeous stones, but I never really desired to have them in jewelry. Sometimes it almost seemed like someone else was writing “sold” for me! So now, I have these pieces full of feminine energy, and the sneaking suspicion someone (an unknown Goddess) is wanting to work with me.

After this realization, I started to find dove feathers EVERYWHERE! One night while taking my dog for a walk, a large dove feather fell right in front of my face and landed at my feet. I looked up in the tree overhead but there was no dove, no birds at all! So I picked it up and brought it home. Within the week I found another dove feather out in the yard laying at my feet. Which of course, since there are no coincidences, really got my brain working trying to put the pieces together… Moonstone, Larimar, Feminine Energy, Dove Feathers…
I met with one of my Mediumship teachers who did a long over due reading for me. She said there was definitely a Goddess energy stepping forward that was going to act as an Ascended Master. My teacher said that she fully believes Gods and Goddess can act as Ascended Masters / teachers if they need to. So that I should not be afraid, or worried, but to just accept the beautiful gift. She gave me a few things to look up when I got home, and that’s when I discovered who had been whispering to me in the night. Who had been calling my name with a voice I didn’t recognize, and who I was meant to learn from for a the foreseeable future. The Great Mother Goddess of Egypt – Isis.
A small painting I did of Isis, to have something for Her in my sacred space.
While Isis is not associated with Larimar, She is associated with the element of water and magick; so I associate Her with Larimar. Wife of Osiris who is the Egyptian God of the Underworld, Isis is viewed as a protector of the dead. This suites me just fine as a Daughter of Hades. The other thing that I found fascinating is that Isis is the Patron God of Loving Wives. The week after I discovered Isis was coming to work with me, my husband spent an entire week in the hospital (and I at his side) for cardiac complications. It was a long, hellish week of unknowns, but I felt Isis’ loving presence sitting next to me, and Her protection whenever I found a moment to sleep.
As the Daughter of Hades, and I did ask my Lord and Lady Persephone how They felt about me working with Isis for a while. They both told me that much in the same way mortals send their children off to school to learn from another mortal, sometimes lessons must be taught by another who is better suited to teach that lesson. After all, the Gods and Goddesses know best!
With Love, and Light,
Iona
