The Three, Morgan and Introspection

It's no secret that there are three aspects to the Goddess, and that may very well be why She has so many names and aspects.

At least we're never bored, nor is She!

Maiden, Mother and Crone are typical, but there's one aspect that runs through all three -- that of the Warrior.

Maiden fights for causes and for her sense of self and independence.

Mother fights for family, home, security.

Crone fights for everyone who is forgotten, overlooked and downtrodden.

They all fight for self.

And there's nothing wrong with fighting for yourself and your beliefs, for your security and your love. In fact, the Goddesses encourage it! And they encourage us all to help those who are lost, who need to fight for themselves but can't.

Women are especially vulnerable in this way because we're so often taught nowadays that to fight is "unladylike" or "unwomanly", when the opposite is actually the case. We were born to fight, but not just for the sake of fighting. We fight for a cause.

Far too often we don't believe that we are a worthy cause. That needs to change.

Today I am thinking of Morgan, not the Morrigan, the goddess of war, but Morgan who fought for what she wanted, fought to hold herself sacred, and did not sacrifice her pride for harmony.

Hold onto her strength when you're feeling alone and lost and weak. She'll lend you her strength, I promise.

And the faeries say that you should look inside yourself. You'll find the strength you need, I swear.
