GODDESS OF THE DAY - CHÍA
DIOSA DE LA LUNA

The lunar sky has gone completely dark, inviting us deeper into the unseen currents of creation… The Scorpio New Moon arrived like an invisible ignited gem, slipping into the cosmos at 1:47 a.m. EST today, November 20th, settling at 28°12’. This potent lunation marks the beginning of a new cycle, one that beckons us to surrender to the mysteries beneath the surface. With no lunar glow tonight, the heavens open wide… the Milky Way stretches like dream across the void, meteors flicker like ancient dust, and auroras sparkle at the edges of the celestial horizon.

As Luna connects to the oceanic presence, her magic seed becomes a mysterious inception while the veil thins to its most translucent thread... Luna's subtle pulse stirs the depths, inviting us to explore the primal forces that drive us. As the moon aligns between Earth and sun, it disappears from the night sky, reminding us that true power often lies in the unseen… The Scorpio New Moon is a call to dive into the depths of our own psyche, and to Chía's mythology which speaks to the interconnectedness of all things. Chía is the emergence, the first breath, the spark of sublime beauty, the sensual rebirth… Her association with Luna and the cycles of nature makes her a powerful symbol of Feminine power and intuition.

With roots extending all the way to Colombia, South America, Chía is one of the most beloved and important deities to appear in its pre-Columbian culture of Muisca also known as Chibcha. Chia is a Triple Goddess, whose name means “the one who is like the moon”. The Goddess Chía reaches out with Her ancient story to help us remember and reclaim the transformative mysteries, the sacred illumination of the soul of Nature, and of the lunar qualities of the Feminine.

Her archaeological significance is captured in the city of Chía, Cundinamarca, which is named after her, this was an important ceremonial center. The Muisca people worshipped Chía as the patron deity of the Zipa ruler, who governed the territory around present-day Bogotá. Kneeling reverently in the temple with arms held high, the Muisca priestesses chanted hymns to the omnipotent spirit of the Moon. Their civilization was just as advanced and thriving as the more famous Inca, Aztec, and Mayan tribes, with advanced spiritual practices and highly creative offerings. Eart-based religious beliefs were central to the life and community of the Muisca tribes. Moon worship was a fundamental component of their faith and can be attributed to their fascination and skill with gold.

The Spanish conquistadors, imagining South America was controlled by women, named its major river after the mythic Greek warrior women - Amazon… And one of the most powerful ways to invoke this new world Andean Moon Goddess Chía’s blessing is through her sacred element of water. Her ancient attendants offered fabulous treasures of gold and jewels into a lake of sacred waters during coronations. For the Muisca, gold was though the material of choice as it was valued for its lustrous and transformational properties. It was not used as a currency, but rather as an artistic medium.

Chía arrives out the ancient, fiery roots of this Scorpio phase of spiritual growth that’s emerging at this time to reconnect us with the cyclical energies of the Moon. Chía reaches out with Her ancient story to help us remember and reclaim her transformative mysteries, the sacred illumination of the soul of Nature, and of the lunar qualities of the Feminine. As a Triple Goddess, she embodies the maiden, mother, and crone aspects, representing growth, nurturing, and wisdom. In her mythology, this shapeshifting Goddess transformed herself into an owl, and when she flew high up to the sky, she then became the moon.

In a world ruled by metrics and algorithms, she calls us back to the intelligence far older than any system we’ve built: the breathing, relational consciousness of the Earth. Here, every being is connected. Every presence affects another. Nothing thrives alone. With the lunar face hidden, your intuitive psychic-self takes over... Inviting a sacred time to connect to the great mystery of life. The Feminine aspect of the universe is rising to restore balance in the world. Will you answer the call and receive her guidance? Luna’s magical cycle invites us to sync our lives to the universal rhythms.

CHÍA’S INVOCATION

Oh Chía, Goddess of the night sky
Your presence is magnified through the Andean mountains
A celestial map of stars, guiding us
A luminous thread weaving the fabric of time
In the darkness, you shines like a beacon
Illuminating paths, revealing hidden truths
You gentle light touches the hearts of those who seek
Comfort, wisdom, and the magic of the night
Luna, your symbol, glows with soft radiance
Reflecting the beauty of the universe
A constant reminder of the cycles of life
Birth, growth, decay, and rebirth, an eternal dance
As the lunar cycle unfolds, tonight we honor the darkness that gives birth to new life, and we surrender to the mysteries that await us in the shadows.

𖤓 For a therapeutic New Moon Tarot reading session, DM to receive the heart donation-based details and availability.

Abundant Chía’s New Moon Blessings!
In Devotion & Gratitude

Anaxié, (means see you later in Chibcha).

IMAGE: In honor of my ancestors, I chose to collage the gorgeous Colombian Miss Universe contestant of 2025 to represent the Goddess of the Day. Vanessa Pulgarín's national costume is a stunning representation of Colombia's rich cultural heritage. Designed by Alfredo Barraza, the costume is inspired by the country's pre-Colombian era, specifically the Muisca, Quimbaya, and Tayrona civilizations. The costume features a crown, brazalettes, and a gargantilla, which represent the sun, moon, and divinity, highlighting the significance of these elements in Colombian mythology. Vanessa Pulgarín's look is a testament to the country's vibrant cultural identity.

GODDESS OF THE DAY - NEHALENNIA
DARK MOTHER OF SEA VOYAGES
CONDUCTRESS OF THE DEAD

We have entered the bewitching last phase of the lunar month - The Dark Moon... This is the phase when the Moon’s orbit brings it between the Earth and the Sun, with the dark side facing us, making the Moon almost invisible to the naked eye. The lunar sky has gone completely dark, inviting us deeper into the unseen currents of creation… Day 28 of the lunar cycle… The final inhale before the void. The final footstep before the threshold. Day 28 marks the end of the 29.5-day lunation… The dissolution of form.. The releasing back into Source… The void that precedes rebirth. As the Moon thins to her last sliver—only 1% of her face glowing, almost entirely dissolved into the underworld, another forgotten goddess rises from the mists of time: Nehalennia.

She is the North Sea’s Dark Mother, the veiled guardian of liminal crossings, shores, tides, endings, and the mysteries beneath the waves. From her temple in Domburg in the Low Countries, we find that she was revered from the 1st to the 3rd centuries CE along what is now the coast of the Netherlands, where over 160 altars were raised in her honor, most of them placed by sailors, merchants, and travelers who entrusted their journeys, their livelihoods, and their very survival to her. Worshipped on the North Sea coast, a goddess of safe passage, fertility, thresholds and those who journey between worlds. As the Dutch goddess of the sea ways, she was considered as the steerswoman of destiny by the Romans… And now after centuries submerged, buried, or lost—her worship is resurfacing. Almost as though she herself is returning with the tide.

Nehalennia is often depicted with marine symbols and a loyal dog, symbolizing her role in safeguarding those who journey over water. She's associated with abundance and harvest, ensuring the prosperity of those who pay tribute to her. Invoke Nehalennia for her protection on your life’s voyages and to steer your path toward prosperity.

Her temples were placed in liminal places: where land gives way to water, where storms gather, where visibility disappears into fog, where endings and beginnings mesh like tides. Because of this, the Balsamic/Dark Moon phase is profoundly aligned with her. Just as sailors entrusted their fate to her before crossing dangerous seas, we entrust the last exhale of our lunar consciousness to her at this edge-of-darkness threshold.

She governs the moment before the new cycle begins,the moment we are held by nothing but faith,the moment the old moon prepares to die. On this Dark Scorpio Moon, where transformation runs deep and silent, Nehalennia is the perfect guide. She teaches that the void is not emptiness, but the womb of the deep ocean, where unseen life stirs again. She reminds us that endings are not failures,
but surrenderings to a larger tide. She blesses the crossing from one self to the next.

☽🌑☥☾ ☽🌑☥☾ ☽🌑☥☾ ☽🌑☥☾
Not all are called to dance
with the Dark Goddess.
Not all are called to walk the
edge between the worlds.
For those who are, who dare to risk,
magic awaits.

Not easy wave-your-pretty-wand magic,
but magic that is deep and rough,
pulling and tugging at your very existence,
plunging you into the deep, dark murky
waters of all feelings from all times,
until finally demanding you be willing
to stand in the fires of transformation,
insisting you be willing to be the
dark matter that is alchemically
transmuted into gold.

Not everyone will understand or
feel comfortable around you.
They are not meant to.
The Dance of the Dark Goddess
is for those who are willing to die
and die and die again, knowing that with
each death a new dance is being born,
a new being is being formed,
for it is in darkness that creation begins.

Not all are called to dance with the
Dark Goddess but for those who are,
those who have been given eyes to see
in the dark and wings to fly,
those that understand alchemy is born of fire, a day will come when travelling between the worlds of dark and light will be a profoundly juicy journey of depth-diving
into the shadowy recesses in order to
purify, mature, and perfect that which
is the deepest of all mysteries ...
the soul of a woman.

O Nehalennia,
Mist-Wrapped Mother of Thresholds,
Keeper of the tides where endings exhale,
and beginnings whisper from the dark—
I call to You. Guide us now,
as the Moon fades to her final sliver
and the world lies suspended between the last breath of what has been and the first spark of what will be. You who guard the crossings, who walk the foaming edges of land and sea, stand beside us in this holy unmaking. Let the past fall like spent waves at our feet. Let the future rise like salt-sweet air from the deep. With your loyal hound at your side and your basket of gifts unknown,
hold us as we surrender the old cycle, and bless the hidden germination of the next.
Nehalennia,
Sea-Womb Sovereign,
Guide of the fog, protector of the threshold,
we offer our trust to the dark waters
and allow the tides of fate
to carry us home.
Be with us tonight—
in the hush, in the void, in the beginning-before-the-beginning.
⚓️ 🌑⚓️

There’s special sort of magic found in the darkness of this final phase of the Moon as we await for the potential of light yet to be born with the new crescent moon - In this liminal space between death and new life, the Dark Moon becomes the void of ultimate possibilities. We’re in a pivotal moment in time where, if we tap in, we can rest in this stillness and absorb everything that we have learned from the previous lunar cycle. . . So, slow down and go for something transcendent like joining me for a therapeutic Dark Moon Mother session. DM for heart donation-based details and availability.

What to expect of Nehalennia’s Ritual & Tarot Offer:

On this Dark Scorpio Moon, when the veil thins to a single breath, I’m offering a channeled Nehalennia Dark Moon Tarot Reading. This session helps you navigate endings, crossings, and the sacred unknown with clarity. Guided by the sea-womb wisdom of Nehalennia, we will explore:

Remembering Hekate/Hecate, the Goddess of Greek and Anatolian mythology, magic and witchcraft…

Hecate's Night is observed annually on November 16th. It is a modern pagan celebration honoring the Greek goddess of witchcraft, magic, and the crossroads, though some ancient worship occurred on New Moon nights. It's considered an auspicious time for reflection, transformation, and making offerings to the Goddess. However, for me Hecate's Night begins on the first night of the Dark Moon. Under the Waning Crescent Moon in Scorpio of today, Tuesday, November 18th, the diminishing illuminated surface of the moon is 3%. On this 27th day of her cycle the sky slips into the sacred hush of the Dark Moon. This moment of Hekate that occurs during the Dark Moon, represents the release of old things and renewal.

According to Motherhouse of the Goddess: “She rules decision making, that time when a person’s life path divides into something new and unknown. . . As such, she has the power of transformation, mysteries, lessons, and education of the mind and spirit. The ability of Hekate to traverse the boundaries of all the worlds was also a unique function to Her and one of the reasons that She is known as the Goddess of Transitions".

Hekate's sphere of influence also includes the moon, night, sun, crossroads, motherhood, boundaries, spirits and necromancy. Due to her association with boundaries and the liminal spaces between worlds, Hekate is also recognized as a chthonic (underworld) Goddess. She is the holder of the keys that can unlock the gates between realms.

There's currently massive excavation, restoration and conservation work on the 3,000-year-old Sanctuary of Hecate in Turkey. Lagina is the ancient Anatolian sanctuary of this evening's mysterious Goddess Hecate where its believed she was first known to be the holder of the key to the underworld.

My collage of the Triple Goddess shown here arrives from precious, recent findings from the sun-kissed city of Kelenderis, nestled within the southern Turkish province of Mersin, a place where a remarkable archaeological revelation has come to light. This 2300-year-old statue of the three-headed goddess Hecate, alongside a treasure trove of Hellenistic period ceramics, has been unearthed, shedding new light on the ancient city’s rich past.

Hekate brings to us the ability to understand and create as she guide us through our challenges and teaches us about ascension. She is not only this evening's inspiration for my Tarot sessions, Creatrix classes and Makeup applications, but for my online course 'Ancient Mother Goddesses Who Rocked The Fertile Crescent’s Cradles - MATRIX Program. DM for details if interested in participating in this deep dive into Dark Moon Mothers of the Neolithic.

GODDESS OF THE DAY - XOCHITLICUE
DARK MOON MOTHER
AZTEC CREATRIX

Under the Waning Crescent Moon in Scorpio of today, Tuesday, November 18th, the diminishing illuminated surface of the moon is 3%. On this 27th day of her cycle the sky slips into the sacred hush of the Dark Moon. This is the liminal corridor, the place-between-worlds, where death is not an ending but a ritual of unmaking… a return to the cosmic Womb… And it is precisely here, on the first day of the Balsamic phase, that our Goddess of the Day, Xochitlicue, rises.

Older than blossoms, older than beauty, older even than the stories carved into stone, Xochitlicue is the primordial Earth Mother of the Aztec Empire, the womb beneath the soil, the pulse beneath decay, the one who births gods and gathers them back into herself for regeneration.

Xochitlicue is woven into one of the most ancient bloodlines of the Earth…She is the younger sister of Coatlicue, the formidable “Serpent-Skirted One,” mother of the sun-warrior Huitzilopochtli and the divine wind-serpent Quetzalcoatl. Together, Xochitlicue and Coatlicue descend from the primordial Earth Parents, Tlaltecuhtli and Tlalcihuatl — beings birthed by the Tezcatlipocas in the earliest dawn of creation, when the world itself was still soft, trembling, and new. From this deep and elemental lineage, Xochitlicue becomes a Mother in her own right, giving life to the sacred twins: Xochipilli, the radiant Prince of Flowers, lord of music, ecstasy, art, and divine play; and to Xochiquetzal, the Precious Feather Flower, beloved goddess of beauty, love, sensual blossoming, and the eternal renewal of life. As the Mother of Xochiquetzal, she is also became the Mother beneath all flowering, fertility in its original form: dark, fertile, and alchemical. Her energy is chthonic, deep, womb-like, cyclic, immersed in the Earth’s regenerative powers.

Thus, Xochitlicue stands at the center of a genealogical web of gods and goddesses whose stories shape the very structure of the Aztec universe, a lineage where Earth births Beauty, where Darkness gives rise to Radiance,and where the Flowered Skirted Mother holds both the roots and the bloom
within her timeless body.

As a Balsamic/Dark Moon Mother of shadow, endings, and descent, Xochitlicue teaches that the Dark Moon is not the absence of light but the presence of the Womb, the container of sacred composting where new life gestates unseen.

In her presence, the Dark Moon becomes a reclamation of feminine magic:
• the mystery of dissolution that nourishes future blooming,
• the invisible realm where spirit rearranges matter,
• the power of choosing rebirth rather than being dragged into it.

Under this Scorpio Crescent, she whispers that every ending holds a seed, and every descent is a summons to deeper sovereignty. She invites you to honor this first day of the Balsamic phase not as depletion, but as return, gathering, preparation, and the quiet potency of the cosmic womb. Xochitlicue encourages closure and completion, especially for any pressing or unfinished business of the soul.
Your vitality levels rise and fall with the light of the Moon, so as the Moon becomes dark, you may need more rest, nurturing or quiet alone time for reflection and meditation. How will you nurture yourself under Xochitlicue’s Dark Moon?

MESSAGE OF THE DAY
From the Primordial Mother • She Who Wears the Flowered Skirt of the Underworld - As the moon thins to her final sliver, Xochitlicue rises from the deep roots of the world… From this ancient void, womb-dark, unending space she beckons:

Come to me… I am the Mother beneath all Mothers, the secret pulse inside the soil, the breath of creation before light had a name. In this Dark Moon corridor, I invite you to shed what has grown heavy, to descend into my fertile quiet space where endings become beginnings. Here, in my underworld garden, the darkness is the nourishment you need. Here, where the unseen is sacred. Here, you return to my original womb of the Earth and remember who you were before the world told you who to be. Tonight, walk gently. Listen inwardly. Let the dark soil of my body hold you until you are ready to bloom again.

L🧿🧿K in COMMENTS ⬇️ for Xochitlicue’s Invocation, Ritual & Tarot Offering. Spiritually, she aligns beautifully with this Balsamic portal of the waning light of the Dark Moon, when unseen powers guide the intuitive heart.

Love & Blessings
Always,

INANNA & THE DARKENING MOON

The mystical energy of the Dark Moon that is starting to flow at this time is truly otherworldly... This particular cycle of the thinning veil between the worlds is creating a very potent lunar phase portal for working with the Goddess Inanna’s energy...

For this is the time to turn inward to reflect, to delve deep into shadow-work, much like Inanna that went into the darkness, this is a powerful time of inner journeying and powerful divination.

Take heart! Like the Goddess Inanna, we may also navigate the underworld, move through dark places yet return to the realms of light... battle scarred yes, but far wiser for the experience... My own quest to reconsecrate the shadow aspects of my own wounded femininity has led me to create tomorrow evening’s virtual priestess temple space.

If you have been experiencing a dark night of the soul and would like to seen and held during your personal rise from the underworld to reclaim your power, then I invite to join for a Dark Moon Motherpeace Round Tarot Card Reading to reclaim the ancient Queen of Light's journey. DM for Special Dark Moon rates.

“Life is but a dance between darkness and light ..the light seeking the light to gain it’s attention and the light casting it’s love on the dark. Without darkness there is no light”.

GODDESS OF THE DAY - YAKSHI
Feminine Spirits of the Living Earth

Today, Monday, November 17th, the Moon wanes to a sliver, 27 days into her journey, a Balsamic crescent in Libra, only 7% illuminated. This is the Dark Moon, the time of composting and dreaming, when what has been lived begins its return to the earth. It is the time of the Yakshi: the threshold between death and rebirth, where the old world dissolves so the new can germinate in darkness. Yakshis were once honored as tree-spirits and guardians of sacred groves.

The lunar mysteries of continuous waxing, fullness, waning, and new phases symbolized rebirth and letting go for the ancients. Each lunation invited them to acknowledge past, present, and the promise of new beginnings. Today, beneath the soft breath of the Waning Crescent Moon, we turn toward the deep green womb of the forest, a place where roots whisper, shadows breathe, and the Feminine life-force moves through the trees.

Here dwells Yakshi, the radiant, voluptuous nature goddess of ancient India. She is the embodiment of fertility, sensuality, abundance, and the hidden magic of the wild. Her presence is lush, untamed, and irresistibly alive, like the first pulse of creation rising through the soil.

The Yakshis, honored across the Indian subcontinent as goddess-spirits of the Earth, embodied the ancient knowing of the land as alive…A breathing, fertile and cyclical Mother. The Yakshis are the sensual inheritance of Paleolithic and Neolithic Mother figurines: rounded, rooted, born from soil and stone. Their power flows from fertility's dark mysteries. Today these ancient nature spirits become one as the Forest Enchantress, Guardian of the Life-Force, Yakshi.

In this liminal hour, we remember what the algorithm cannot quantify: that the Earth's living systems hold an intelligence far older and wiser than any technology we have conceived. Within the forest, there exists a collaboration of birdsong whose melody opens the stomata of leaves, allowing trees to breathe more deeply, to drink more fully, to grow with greater vitality. The vibration of birdsong is stress relief made audible; it is care translated into frequency. Nature does not isolate its species into individual profiles. Every being holds a crucial role in the interwoven dance, and we, despite our forgetting, are included.

Much of our modern suffering stems from disconnection: hours spent behind phones, desks, steering wheels, severed from the very nature that could nurture us back to wholeness. But the Yakshis whisper a different way. They remind us that we are not separate from the forest, the soil, the singing birds. When we step back into the woven care of nature, we expand our capacity to engage with living systems, with one another, with ourselves—not as isolated units, but as deeply entwined participants.

Imagine this: that the words we speak, the energy we carry, could become like birdsong to the biology and psyche of every being we encounter—life-giving, nurturing, balancing. This is the Yakshi's teaching. She is the indigenous feminine beneath every culture and every era, the one who has never left, who waits in the dark of the moon and the hum of the forest floor.

To work with Yakshi is to awaken what has always been awake: the Earth remembering herself through us, the ancient intelligence rising through our bodies, the sensual knowing that we are nature, have always been nature, will always be nature—fertile, cyclical, and utterly alive.

Yakshi’s Medicine Today

Under this waning crescent, when the world is quieting, Yakshi brings you the gift of sensual sovereignty, the remembrance that your body is sacred ground and your life-force is a temple. She whispers: “Come home to your breath, your hips, your hunger,
your pulse, your pleasure, your living root... Feel the aliveness in your skin, breath, and womb… Return to the ancient Feminine instinct within you.”

Yakshi does not ask you to transcend your human self… She asks you to inhabit it completely. To work with Yakshi is to awaken the ancient, indigenous Feminine
that exists beneath every culture and every era. Yakshi walks with you today,
lush, alive, and luminous.

A Blessing From Yakshi

May your body be your oracle.
May your sensuality become a sacred language.
May abundance ripple through you like sap through a living tree.
And may the forest of your soul grow wild, bright, and unafraid.

Offered in ancestral memory, feminine wisdom, and verdant grace,

GODDESS OF THE DAY - JA NAJEK
FEMININE LUNAR ESSENCE

Today, Sunday, November 16th, the Moon hangs as a waning crescent in Libra, a slender, luminous thread holding only 12% of her visible light. Twenty-six days into her cycle, she is almost gone, poised at the threshold between ending and beginning. It is the perfect hour to remember the Goddess of the Day, for this is her domain: the liminal moment when light dwindles but does not disappear, when she withdraws into shadow to prepare for her return. The Moon’s gentle light at night is seen as a metaphor for illumination and guidance in darkness. This personification of the Moon highlights interconnectedness, intuition, and renewal, reminding us to live in harmony with cosmic and earthly cycles.

In the faded pages of old ethnographic texts, a name flickers like moonlight through clouds: Ja Najek. She is remembered as a lunar goddess, worshipped in scattered corners of the Indonesian archipelago by those who still carried the cosmological memories of their Austronesian ancestors, the people who read the night sky as others read holy books.

Her name itself is a whispered invocation. Ja— marks her as divine, a feminine syllable that opens the door between worlds. Najek speaks of brightness ascending through darkness, of the Moon herself pulling free from the horizon each night to trace her arc across the heavens. It is a name that mirrors her nature: ever-rising, ever-changing, a goddess caught in perpetual transformation as she waxes and wanes, dies and is reborn.

To speak her name on this nearly dark night is to acknowledge the mystery at the heart of time itself… That light returns, that what is lost comes back, that the night is never truly empty. Even now, with only a whisper of silver remaining, she is there: Ja Najek, ascending still.

The ancient Indonesians understood that the Moon shines as she teaches about her endless cycle of waxing fullness, radiant completion, slow dissolution, and dark renewal… This is where Ja Najek whispered the fundamental rhythm of existence itself. Each lunation was an invitation, a gentle insistence that they honor what had passed, inhabit what was present, and trust in the mystery of what would come. This is why she was known as their Moon Mother… She who was gentle in her silver touch, yet vast in her dominion. Her light permeated, and remembered them… Those who looked up understood that her radiance governed the deep tides of life, the Feminine cycles, our body's own lunar calendar. Ja Najek is linked to menstruation, emotional balance, fertility and its safe passage through birth, the threshold where one life becomes two, guarded by her watchful gaze. Women were said to call upon her during childbirth or when seeking insight through dreaming. Her lunar aspects represent feminine power and wisdom. Her monthly phases mirror our inner transformations, especially when they’re inspired by women’s sacred teachings.
�She rules the tides and the rhythms of fishing communities, the push and pull of water, the knowing of when to cast nets and when to wait. Austronesian cosmology, stretching from Indonesia to Polynesia and Madagascar is deeply lunar. Not only the fishing cycles, but time, agriculture, ritual calendars, and spiritual ceremonies all followed the Moon’s phases. Across Indonesian islands, moon goddesses often share iconography, and Ja Najek is thought to be associated with white flowers (particularly frangipani and jasmine), flowing water, mother-of-pearl, woven baskets or mats (symbolic womb-space) and nighttime offerings of rice and coconut

Ja Najek fits into this ancient matrix as the feminine force who governs the cycles of life, wax and wane, growth and withdrawal. Within this view, the Moon is a living female ancestor, not a distant orb. She watches over birth, death, and dreaming. She carries souls in her “womb of silver light.” The passage between the seen and unseen worlds… That shimmering boundary where the living and the dead draw close.
In the mystical oral traditions still echoed among the knowing, it is said that Ja Najek has a special tenderness for women and children who cross too soon into the spirit world. She does not abandon them to darkness… Instead, she lays down a moon-path, a ribbon of luminous light across water, across sky, across the veil itself, and guides them home to the ancestors, where they are held, where they are remembered, where they wait to be born again.

While Ja Najek does not belong to a single centralized “Indonesian mythology” (Indonesia contains hundreds of ethnic groups), Ja Najek appears in pre-Hindu, pre-Islamic layers of belief — likely dating to the Neolithic–Bronze Age Austronesian migrations (c. 3000–1500 BCE). Her story echoes those of other regional lunar ancestresses like Sina (Polynesia),Bulul or Buwan (Philippines) and Mei / Maan Dewi (Indonesian), suggesting that Ja Najek is part of an ancient feminine lunar lineage stretching across the islands.

One of the surviving folktale fragments says that Ja Najek once descended on a beam of moonlight to teach women the secrets of weaving, so they could remember how the stars were arranged in the sky. Here weaving wasn’t just craft — it was cosmology. Another myth says she withdrew into the Moon after a great flood, promising to watch over humanity each night from her “house of pearly gates.”

As an intuitive healer, I find that by using Divine Feminine spirituality and Jungian/archetypal psychology in my work I’m able to guide you in reclaiming your feminine heritage. Drawing inspiration from the many goddesses honored throughout history and around the globe, I offer Intuitive Goddess Tarot Readings that use goddess myths and imagery to allow you to discover your own spirit guide.
