Meditation: Atu X
Reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
Prayer: Recordare Virgo Mater Dei.
Notes: Waite cites the permutation "Rota Taro Orat Tora Ator." i have a hard time believing that. All i see when i gaze on this card is dukkha. Similarly, i have a hard time imagining today's god, a god of thunder, a male god with bare arm and lightning spear, as "merciful." On such a day i see only the weeping Mother. (Today is her day, the Day of her Seven Sorrows.) She alone does not grovel, because she has no need. The rest of us grovel before Fortune, before Time, before the manly bare-armed god. Her God is no god at all, or only an upside-down god.

i love these novenas your posting. despite my concentration on paganism lately, i was quite surprised the other day when i broke out my rosary beads. i found it to be even more powerful than it was before. i guess the more we reach for the Divine, the stronger we become, no matter what her face looks like or what we call her
