Goddess Akhilanda aka the Phoenix

‘Akhilanda represents the essence of the Phoenix; she’s the indestructible energy that embraces change. Her full name is Akhilandaishvari. Ishvari in Sanskrit means female power or goddess and Akhilanda means never not broken, so she is the goddess of never not broken. She can never be broken, because she always is. She is the embodiment of what we try to avoid–the dissolution of our ego’s identity. She radiates the potent light and joy that’s the goal of change, transformation, or pain. There is very little written about her; she is meant to be known through experience. She is an intimate, interior goddess that we meet when we are in the darkest moments of grief and heartbreak. She shows us where our energy is trapped; where we have been stifled in routines or other’s expectations of us. And she whispers the liberation we will experience once we let ourselves break open, and allow the new expression of our self to come blazing through. She reminds us that we always have the power to choose to see every event as yet another opportunity to become more light, to become more of the radiant soul we are here to be.

When your soul selects her card:

Many of us exert tremendous energy in the effort to not break or fall apart. We resist our grief. Our heartbreak. Or we deny the need to change until the choice no longer feels like it’s ours. Something side swipes us from our ordinary life and shatters who we think we are and how we identify ourselves. Here’s what Akhilanda reminds us: vulnerability is our greatest strength. If we are always broken, we can never break. Akhilanda is the most intimate, and personally powerful goddess because she meets us in those moments when we can feel most alone, most exposed, and most afraid. She models how to thrive in the midst of change; she uses pain to joyfully and purposefully transform. She sees everything as an opportunity to release what isn’t serving her. And she knows that being broken isn’t a failure, or something we should avoid, it’s actually the whole point. We are here to let our ideas of ourselves go up in flames, so that beneath the ashes, the soft core of who we truly are arises. And so that we remember that it’s not the heart that ever breaks; it’s the ego. The heart only ever expands. ‘

Accountability Responsibility lacking in NPB

Because our toxic family members will never take accountability for their actions, we must understand that their refusal to learn from their misdeeds equates to a refusal to change. In their mind everyone is wrong but them, they do not need to change, they are right, everyone else is a manipulator but them, and they are always the victim.

If you step back, you will see that this mindset is such a self-serving joke. You cannot reason with a person who has such a childish mindset, who throws unnecessary threats and dramatics around to intimidate and manipulate. If you step back what you will see is a grown adult throwing stones and fighting to get their way like a child.

The teaching to take is to not waste your time trying to get them to grow up. They do not want to do this type of growth. If they had wanted growth, they would have already stepped on that path by adulthood. Hold no hope in these types of people. Best to accept them for exactly who and how they are.

The Pilgrimage

“The Pilgrimage” holds secrets. Initially created for “The Spellcasting Oracle”, on one level, it’s meant to depict the beautiful and solitary path of a woman on her own journey, mistress of her own vessel. In the way of the arcanum and using the mysteries of the iconographers, it holds symbols that are intended to provoke deeper reflection and imbue the viewer with the radiance of their own work here on this earthly plane, as well as spiritually guide and remind of the eternal voyage as well.

On the stern hangs the lamp of wisdom, filled with oil, to light her way. In the sky, the waning moon represents She Who Is, the Divine Feminine, promising assurance that the pilgrim is never alone, and provides continued light along the journey which will illumine to full, shining down and guiding the pilgrim through even the darkest waters. The pilgrim stands strong and self-assured, dressed in a red mantle which indicates her earthly path and sacrifice but also her royal place and power. The waters are choppy, to remind that the voyage may not be smooth, but the cloudless sky with its shining stars indicate her true destination and the clarity which she possesses to navigate her return to the heavenly realms. She holds the staff, or the uas, which represents her power and is thematic and controls the flow of cosmic energy. So the painting also points to our eternal destiny.

Much of my work attempts to deliberately encompass that philosophy and practice of the old masters and iconographers who understood the importance and power of divine symbolism and the arcanum, and used it in their works as a meditative guide for enlightenment for an audience of pilgrims who could not read, and did not have access to holy books. We live in an age of alexandrian libraries, but I still believe that meditating upon visual imagery – and especially for us as women – is often far more powerful than words. Symbolism bypasses the conscious mind and reveals its truths through the wisdom of the higher self, who ultimately serves to guide us all along our own paths and destiny.
