This is a very specific blue, not midnight blue, but vivid turquoise, azure, or aqua. It brings the deep healing frequency of the ocean and the restorative powers of the waters of life. The feminine shamans in this element are often named as a sea witch, or mermaid, or temple priestess, or lady of the lake.
They are great healers, bringing medicine through harmony, beauty, purification, and baptism. Visualize a tired or overwhelmed aspect of yourself or the world being bathed in beautiful aquatic blue feminine, attuned to our most precious and vulnerable feelings, and holds a very uplifting vibration, filled with purity of heart.
In Mesopotamia there was a true and historic lineage of water priestesses that specialized in the elemental medicine of water that heals, restores, and rebirths. In ancient Sumeria there were two female water divinities that the priestesses worked with. One is Tiamat, who is the goddess of the deep, the great water dragon of the ocean.
The other was Nammu, the spirit of fresh water, lakes, rivers, and wells.The priestesses of Nammu were known for carrying an alabaster jar. And of course MM also carries an alabaster jar, a symbol that reveals her lineage as a mermaid priestess.
In their public ministry, Jesus, Magdalene, and the apostles worked around the Lake of Galilee, in the lands that were home to the Jewish mermaid goddess Asherah, who bears the epithet: “She who strides across the waters.”
John the Baptist, whom Jesus was once a student of, performed baptism rituals in the River Jordan—a tradition that originated with
John the Baptist, whom Jesus was once a student of, performed baptism rituals in the River Jordan—a tradition that originated with the water priestesses of Sumeria.
The Bible describes how Jesus’s disciples baptized even more people than John did.
This suggests a foundational elemental magic within the spiritual life of Mary Magdalene, who was a priestess of Sophia and cultivated a deep connection with the great world soul of earth, and this beautiful natural magic of land and water.
We can close our eyes and go back in time to when she and Yeshu were being baptized in the River Jordan, under the divine sigil of the goddess—the Dove—also calling upon the lineage of the mermaids and honoring the spirit of water goddess Nammu.
We can vision that when they were doing their water rituals at the Lake of Galilee, they were honoring the great water divinity of the goddess in the full knowledge that without that water of life, both physically and spiritually, we would not be alive.
In the Christian tradition there is a great celebration of water—from the fountain of life, the baptismal font, to the numerous mentions of the living waters in the gospels, and in sayings attributed to Jesus, including: “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38).
In Celtic traditions, the sacred oral traditions recount stories of the Well Maidens, revered women who were guardians and priestesses of the springs, rivers, wells, and lakes that were believed to be holy and a gateway to Otherworld and the gods.
The concept of the fountains, wells, and living waters that give redemption and spiritual sustenance originated in the traditions of the mermaid priestesses and ancient womb shamans.
