introduction

Invoke the Goddess is a magickal workbook. It is designed to enable the reader to access and channel specific goddess wavelengths. By interacting with these deities and maintaining a strong inner will, it becomes possible to gain blessings and insight, to influence the psychic space in which we exist, and thus to alter personal circumstance.

With the goal of individual gnosis in mind, and in order to attain specific practical results, five goddesses have been selected from each of three major religious backgrounds: Hindu, Egyptian, and Greek. The exercises and visualizations allow one to access these deities on a personally interactive as well as a cosmic level. Each goddess offers properties and experiences applicable to our physical, emotional, and spiritual lives.

That positive visualization can bring positive results is a fact widely heralded, and an underlying principle of this book. However, the visualization processes described within are no mere placebos; the godforms involved are intelligent entities and interaction with them may take place in what seems to be the imagination, but it is not imaginary. As anyone who has practiced such meditations and bhaktis will confirm, the deities, whether they start on the earth plane as statues, images, symbols, or focused thoughts, very soon take on a life of their own, and the results inevitably filter down to the material planes.

Equally real is the effect of these encounters on ones psychology. The visualizations lead the participant into a direct encounter with a powerful archetypal deity, whose symbols and presence will make a profound impression on the subconscious, stimulating ones innate capacity for self-healing and self-development. The same applies to the visualizations for specific goals, such as acquiring a long-term partner or attaining prosperity; not only does a seeker appeal to a relevant deity, but ones higher self is brought into action, aiding that process: The gods help those who help themselves.

Also included are exercises designed to help seekers delve in a controlled manner into the murkier areas of their psyche and, with the aid of a divinity, bring conflicting currents to check; or, even better, to harness these disturbances and negative experiences as a creative and evolutionary energy source. These qualities are particularly available through the more challenging goddesses such as Kali, Sekhmet, and aspects of Hecate. Sometimes it becomes crucial to look into the painful darkness of our own fears and faults before we can experience a trusting deliverance into the light.

These inner journeys are described step by step as far as is possible without subjecting the psychic voyager to a contrived experience. Room has been left for personal extrapolation, while every effort has been made to aid creative thinking and to provide enough signposts to keep the seeker on the right path. However, preset routes are by their nature far from definitive, and seekers are encouraged to use their own judgment and interpret them accordingly. Personal encounters are always more relevant than second-hand knowledge, though the latter is helpful in guiding us to the relevant area of the universal psyche. These experiences are, after all, archetypal, and subsequently par-sculpted by all who have undergone them. Because such a clear subconscious map exists in our astral and etheric DNA, it is very safe to use ones intuition in these exercises. In so doing, one is accessing wisdom far greater than that normally made available to us.

These exercises are intended to create intense and transformative states in the user. Their aim is predominantly healing and magickal elevation, enhancement of quality of life, and reconnection with spiritual Source.

How to Perform the Visualizations

There are several ways to approach these visualizations. Many of the exercises are performed by candlelight and involve meditative states, and some readers may prefer a ritualistic approach, but this by no means excludes the possibility of simply visualizing while reading the exercises. Indeed, this can be very powerful, particularly if done in a state of heightened emotion. Additionally, every chapter begins with a section of poetic prose specifically designed to stimulate the imagination and open it out toward that particular goddess. For some, focused reading alone will be enough to set the magick rolling.
