THE LAMP OF THE MESSAGE
A Journal for the International Community
of Cherags
Candle
for the Divine Feminine:
The emergence of the feminine is
perhaps the most significant event
in our time. We are authorized to
honor this development by recognizing
it as part of the Universal Worship
service. There has been a great deal
of discussion over the past several
years about what to call this candle,
what its divine attribute is and
what texts (if any) to use. At the moment
I (Prajapati) view this as an emerging
phenomenon which it is too early
to define once and for all. I have
encouraged people to experiment with
various forms and to note what feels
right and works best. For the time
being I suggest placing the candle
after the Zoroastrian candle (where
we place other traditions being
added to the original form). The candle
has been variously called the Divine
Feminine, Gaia, the Divine Mother,
the Goddess, Mother Earth. Several
attributes have been used including
"Divine Love", "Divine Feminine
Spirituality", "Divine Nurturance." The
Chrysalis Connection has developed
some excellent resources for Cherags
to use as they work with this candle.
