Glad Tidings for the Yuletide Season!
I invite you to take a guided meditation journey with me to connect with the ancient Celtic Goddess of Sanctuary: Nemetona for the December New Moon. This guided meditation and more are available in my 3 books and audiobooks titled:The Oracle of Luna: Meditations with the Moon Goddess- Volumes 1,2, & 3 available on Amazon & Audible.
Let’s start with a bit of history on Goddess Nemetona. Nemetona is an Ancient Romano-Celtic Goddess. She is the Lady of Sanctuary, of Sacred Groves and Sacred Spaces. Her name ‘She of the Sacred grove’ whispers to our heart of protection, safety, a connection with nature as divine ‘sanctuary’. She was known in ancient Gaul, Germany and in Spain. The Nemetes were the main worshippers of Nemetona. The word Nemeton means Sacred Grove, and in this regard, she is connected with Druids before and during the Roman empire. She relates to the healing and wisdom of Trees. The Hawthorne Tree being one of her symbols.

Engaging with Goddess Nemetona allows the spirit of the Divine to move through us with our receptivity towards her. This is the inspiration and spiritual life force that connects all things. Nemetona is a Goddess of the Druidic concept of: Awen.
Giving is essential in our consumerist culture, and it demands so much of our spirits and energy. Especially at this time of Yule and Christmas!
We need to balance consumerism with the inspiration & balance we receive from sacred nature, where if we exploit nature too much ; it dies. Nemetona is present within the home, within our sacred groves, our ceremonies and in all the spaces that we hold dear to our hearts. She is a liminal creature, who is at her most powerful at dawn and at dusk.

The invitation of Nemetona to you is to connect to the sacred and Yin energy of quiet, stillness, mindfulness and peace. .The sacred grove can be a physical space in a forest, a clearing in the busy mind, or an invitation into the imagination or dreamworld. It can be an inner sanctuary of the heart, a sacred space for meditation and contemplation a corner of a room where you can just sit and be quiet or an altar space. This is where Nemetona meets us to commune with divinity. She soothes and stills, and whispers to us of belonging, and of the innate holiness of all things.

So…Get comfortable and let’s take a guided journey to connect with the Goddess Nememtona and connect to your own sanctuary within. Tune in and be enlightened!
