Just thinking of digging out the old AVATAR DVD.  That's part of my year end tradition, starting the new year out with a great movie that shows the under dogs beating the odds and claiming victory! What's yours?

I get teary-eyed every time I watch Avatar.  I love seeing the hero kneeling before that great tree, a long-time symbol of Goddess.  And he's praying to Her.  He's telling Her the Sky People, otherwise known as us, the Earthlings, are coming for them, for Her and they're hell-bent on stealing the natural resources of the planet at any cost.  Sound familiar?  Sound like something ripped from the headlines as some multi-national corporation comes for the water or minerals on sacred land, never mind they'll devastate the local economy and the lives of people living there. Or maybe it reminds you of the United States going after the oil in Iraq.  

But the blue people on Pandora do win the battle!  The Divine Feminine steps in and intercedes and tips the scales. Will She do the same for us?  Is that what climate change, otherwise known as Mother Nature, might do for humanity?  In the possible devastation will humanity change their ways?  Make smarter decisions for the most of us instead of just the richest corporations on the planet?  We shall see because scientists say those of us living today will be around when change comes.  

However, in the meantime, in case you're interested in getting into the holiday spirit and listening to some shows about Yuletide Goddesses and the Pagan Roots of Christmas - I know they can be a bit hard to find in the archives of Voices of the Sacred Feminine Radio - so I've dug them out for you.  Give a listen while you're washing the dishes or wrapping the last of the holiday presents or stuck in an airport somewhere trying to get to Grandma's house.  Tuck the links away and enjoy them for the holidays.

And don't forget, this is the time of year we begin to think about re-inventing ourselves for the coming year.  What did you get right last year?  What might you like to do better? Take stock and marinate during this time to go within and then come out shining and new with the return of the light.  Use the energy of Brigid, her steam, her water and fire, her locomotion, to help you move yourself forward and begin anew!

Happy Holidays and my sincere thanks to my readers, listeners, friends and fans.  Blessings for the coming year.  May it be filled with joy, love, creativity, abundance, justice, equality and hope.
