The Mythology of the Feminine
The return of Europa
While I was setting up speaking engagements and acting as the world wide event coordinator for John and Jan Mirehiel who discovered a point in time according to astrology, called the Harmonic Concordance, I became aware of a mythology based on the law of gender. The laws of gender states, that masculine and feminine energy characteristic are forces that maintain working order in all life. The societies of humanity have been functioning for thousands of years under the domination of masculine principals. These societies are blindly eliminating our natural resources. Cultural dominion of gender is paving the way for sentient annihilation
My friend Megan had a dream about seeing two moons. She’s an astrologer who provided me with insight based on a configuration of planets and noted as the, “Spiritual Shift of the Ages.” It is a time for anchoring universal Christ principals in every day life. Many well versed astrologers had indicated that the spiritual implications of the arrangement of the planets were indeed auspicious and a once in a lifetime opportunity to revel in the density of heavenly gravity. “All the planets are masculine with the exception of our moon”, she said. Her dream suggested something else. I said, “What if the other moon is Europa, the one in your dream?”
When I was a child I had learned to conduct a curtsy, a genuflection demonstrating honoring and respect to the person of intention. Now I was imagining a heavenly stage set with our moon in a genuflection of an eclipse making way for the return of Europa. She went on to say that Europa is also a moon of Jupiter and considered a planet that is the most like our own earth’s atmosphere with a body of frozen water on it. “Ah,” we marveled. Had we tapped into a dual thought set in motion by the consciousness of a group mind?
I had a copy of Discovery Magazine with an article on the cover page about Europa. It was the only copy of that issue I had ever owned. I picked it up from the waiting room of an acupuncture office a year earlier knowing that the article would imply meaning at a later date. I was at Megan’s home and we were excited about this dawning of the energies of the concordance and tossing ideas about what the moment would foretell. Then Megan went on to say that Arthur C. Clark in his novel 2001 A Space Odyssey, implied that the monoliths floating through space came from the vicinity of Europa and wherever they landed on earth accelerated states of consciousness arose.
Who is Europa in our mythology, I wondered? I soon discovered that she was the daughter of a Phoenician King, a maiden that had been seduced by Zeus disguised as a white bull. In some stories kidnapped and raped was more like it. Although it was said that she bore three sons who were to become judges in the underworld, she was never recovered by her siblings. What is important to note Europa was assimilated to our planetary psyche. After all, half of Gaia, the earth is named in her honor, Europe. Is it possible that Europa now healed and reconciled is returning to our atmosphere by means of our own moon’s eclipse? Is Gaia , the wounded Earth, damaged by the misuse of technological advances that devastate the natural ecological balance sending a medical alert to Europa for an accelerated body of consciousness in order restore the natural balance? What about war, the nuclear and atomic blasting what are the effects of the vibration and radioactive materials in our oceans and land? Surely the cry of Earth Mother is ringing outward into the cosmos as she is being heard in the heart of her children living upon and within her. Is it possible that the cry responded to within our solar system is in fact the destiny of the Harmonic Concordance? The message of the return of Europa is one of an alliance of the feminine principal. Mother Earth, Gaia is being reunited with Europa. Is it possible that the forces in the Universe are in motion for the survival of the consciousness of our planet Earth Mother Gaia?
We are in the embrace of the return of the feminine principal so longed for by the Indigenous ones of the wild lands.
Our crisis is the rebirth of Earth Mother and reunion of Europa.
The universe is intelligent and personal. Earth centered consciousness has appeared in our longing to clean up our environment, sustain our life passage and secure our children’s future. While I have been exploring the mythology of Europa and her return as a feminine principal seeking to balance the law of gender on Earth, I have noticed other symbols that reinforce my perception.
The Return of Nefertiti
In September 2003, two history making events occurred. The body of the Egyptian Pharaoh Nefertiti wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten was discovered in an obscured vault in the east Valley of the Kings. According to their mythology the dead body wanders restlessly if they are without their name. The wandering soul of Queen Nefertiti was reunited with her body when modern technology came to her rescue through the effort of Egyptologist Joann Fletcher a red-headed Brit. Nefertiti whose name means, The Beautiful Woman has come, has taken over 3,000 years to take her rightful presence on Earth.
The Return of the Shekhina
Never has the presence of the feminine aspect of G-D been more visible than on the night of September 14, 2003. This was the night of public fundraising for Chabad. The Dancing Rabbi Menachem M. Schneersohn handed over the Torah to his wife and the women children while exhorting their rightful place as the original handlers of Jewish Law. The Rebbe went on to declare the moment as one of historical documentation. The name Shekina is a Talmudic term describing the manifestation of G-D’s presence on Earth. The “Holy Spirit” in Hebrew is also a feminine form. In Hebrew names suggest gender. While Yahweh presents an image of a harsh, frightening G-D, Shekhina represents a loving maternal entity, compassion in its purest form, the female side of
G-D. There is a curious myth that Mosses and Shekhina lived as husband and wife.
In order to sustain life a benevolent presence of the feminine has returned to educate and engage. Such is the political movement of Code Pink, unifying women globally to a more compassionate future.

The return of Mary Magdelen
In August of 2002, while in the dark of my soul, a comforting voice spoke to me of the Holy Grail. “You possess the cup,” she said. I was crippled from one too many twisted ankle turns. I sat deep meditation seeking the cure from radiance within. “Let there be Light.” I chanted with fever. “Let the Light of Christ stand forth within Me,” and so I glowed. The sound of atoms smashing through the wall above my head then in one corner of the room and out the other was deafening. “What do you mean,” I questioned. “You have it in your possession,” she said. I knew exactly what she was speaking about. My girlfriend Beth had brought back a crude hand shapen chalice made of clay from an antique shop in the Netherlands. I filled it with water one day and drank from it only to discover the sweetest taste I ever had. Now it was packed deep in a storage locker in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Having heard this I wondered what was my destiny in recovering it in the new future? Then the voice spoke, “You are to paint seven portraits of me.” These will not be for sale they are to be experienced as in a spiritual transmission. In the early 1980’s I had gone to Glastonbury. While standing on the mound of the Holy Thorn I received an inspiration of the afterlife of Jesus and Mary. Here they had returned after his body was removed from the tomb. Mary of Magdela is no longer considered the whore of biblical passages. The secret societies professing the preservation of the blood line of Jesus of Nazareth are no longer secret and his beloved Mary is being recognized as a spiritual partner and disciple of the Goddess. The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, The Magdalen Manuscripts, The Alchemies of Horus and The Sex Magic of Isis by Tom Kenyon and Judi Sion and God as Mother by Victoria Jennings are a testament to the feminine principle.
