Coming Out of an Eclipse by greggechols Blog entry

It is as though this epoch in time has been spent in a dark phase of the moon; as though we who are in that moon energy are beginning to feel history moving, the moon moving, back around into another phase—the phase of light, outside of that darkened phase. It is as though the moon is slowly moving into a new phase where there is light, and with that light, we are leaving elements of this patriarchal past behind us.

Let me hypothesize that the 1960’s was the space in time—our time, our historical time—when the moon in this darkened phase began to catch glimpses of the sunlight; in other words, it is as though the moon has been under the power of a solar eclipse! The moon began to come out of that solar eclipse in the 1960’s, and the planet is now beginning to feel Her power once again, and more fully as these years move onward. Perhaps this is what the Mayans were referring to in 2012: that the moon, in that year, will begin to be in a new phase, one that is not under influence of the Sun, but under its own influence and power, and that will create a new Earth. I don’t know about this: I am sure this theory and philosophy has a lot of work needed to fine-tune it. Yet, there is something here, something along the lines of what Orenstein is talking about and what I am proposing.

It is as though this energy of the Goddess began to slowly peak through in the 1950’s, emerging through music and the arts and feminist revivals in the 1960’s and 1970’s, to being somewhat silenced as an outcry for the next 30 years, until we now have this moment in 2005. My history may be off, and my sense of the real behind this might be off: but something is occurring, nonetheless.

Maybe the plant teachers are showing this as well. Maybe there’s more of this going on: perhaps the visions of the goddesses that women and men are experiencing is a direct link to what is happening now. India and her traditions involving the male/female gods and goddesses is more in line with truth than our one god version of Christianity, that’s for sure!

I’m interested in where this is going, for I feel there is some kind of resurrected knowledge here regarding the Goddess as the emergent ruling energy of our planet, and of the resurrected knowledge that Christ is, indeed, Goddess energy. Let’s see where this winds up!
