NOURISH YOUR INNER DIVINE FEMININE…
DURING CANCER FULL MOON

“Coming to know the hidden and forgotten Mother and the marvelous wisdom of the sacred feminine as revealed from every side and angle by the different mystical traditions is not luxury; it is, I believe, a necessity for our survival as a species.”

~Andrew Harvey from The Essential Mystics

🌕🔻🦀

The Full Moon will be in Cancer for the next 2 days. Cancer is the mother archetype and the ultimate expression of womb energy. Based on where your Moon falls in your natal chart, you have an inner goddess and innate intuition influencing your feminine energy.

Would you like to understand your Moon sign better in order to connect with your feminine energy?

Since bringing the archetype of the Divine Mother puts an astonishing amount of sacred feminine energy at our disposal, I’m offering online supportive GODDESS THERAPEUTIC sessions from my temple by the sea. Guided by the Ocean Mother of Love, we’ll explore an ocean of emotion, submerged in infinite consciousness and intuitive memory… Cancer’s cardinal waters cultivate the synergy that exists between the heart and spirit.

From Inanna to the Virgin Mari, whichever goddess you are most in tune with, you will be supported in a space to harness that power, channel your Feminine Divine, and focus your energy on capitalizing on the powerful force that is the moon throughout its varied and unique phases.

I’m a holistic priestess/counselor focusing on Goddess Energy, Body and Breathwork, complimented with the use of high vibration essential oils, sound, crystal healing energies and intuitive oracular guidance through Feminine Divine Healing activations, tarot, tuning forks, guided lunar meditations and Creatrix art therapy. My Goddess events and workshops or self-love, compassion, creativity and transformation are offered virtually within the embrace of a womb-like red temple. I offer custom-designed sessions to meet your particular needs and desires.

Welcoming you this week, and always, with compassion and love,
Aradia Vive

“What an auspicious way to start 2026: the video of my visual talk Centering Women: Our Global Histories and Activism (at the FiLiA 2025 conference) just went up on the FiLiA channel! See it:
https://youtu.be/4MLLj-Icqx8?si=WF-1ThC2KAjASsEW

International perspective on the ways women have shaped and sustained human culture across time. Drawing on archaeology, history, rock art, and the broader cultural record, we uucover women leaders, creators, providers, healers, and prophets, all obscured by patriarchal gatekeepers of history.

From Indigenous women’s councils and land defenders to anarchist feminists, freethinkers, writers, and rebels of every stripe, this session reclaims the stories of women as culture-makers and truth-tellers, restoring them to the collective memory where they belong.

THE GREAT GODDESS OF THE DAY PROJECT

Today, as I bring this year’s cycle to rest - 365 Goddesses shared day by day, or rather 384, for many more insisted on being remembered, I feel the weight and wonder of what devotion can become when it is listened to fully.

This 2025, the Year of the Snake, asked everything of me. It also gave everything back. Moving through this daily offering, I shed skins alongside her, layers of illusion loosening, truths rising gently into view. The Snake, ancient Regeneratrix, taught me that transformation lives at the meeting place of wound and healing, and that renewal is never separate from compassionate tenderness.

So many of the Goddesses who came forward were forgotten ones, names long unspoken, energies quieted by time. They arrived asking only to be witnessed again. In honoring them, something ancient stirred: pathways reopened, memories surfaced, and healing moved in ways I could never have planned.

This journey of these transmissions astonished me in its depth… It humbled me in its constancy… And it leaves me transformed, grateful, grounded, and quietly reverent before the mystery that carried it through.

I offer deep thanks to every soul who has walked this path with me, who has felt the pulse of these transmissions and helped breathe the Goddess back into being.

In 2026:

May we continue to listen.

May we continue to remember.

May we continue to create — as living vessels of Her eternal Light.

GODDESS OF THE DAY — INANNA
Womb • Descent • Return

On this 11th day of the lunar cycle of today, Tuesday, December 31st - beneath the Waxing Gibbous Moon in Ta**us, with 88% lunar light swelling toward fullness, Inanna arrives as the final Goddess of the year…

As I stand at year's end, I feel Inanna’d vast, primordial body – the cradle of creation, the vessel of transformation. Every initiation, every descent, every rebirth, they've all been whispers of Inanna’s ancient heartbeat… She is the one who holds the whole cycle within her body. With Inanna, I also bring this cycle to a close — 384 Goddesses shared day by day, a devotion that asked everything of me and gave everything back, leaving me both astonished by the depth of the journey and humbled by the grace that carried it through.

Inanna is the threshold's heartbeat... the velvet darkness where endings dissolve, and beginnings stir, unnamed and unformed, like the first stirrings of dawn. Inanna is the Womb of passage…A vortex of transformation, where the old surrenders, and the new is birthed in silence.

As Queen of Heaven and Earth, she carries the ancient feminine knowing that transformation is a movement inward… A spiraling return to essence. Her descent is a sacred remembering, a drawing closer to the core of being, where what is unnecessary naturally loosens and what is true remains.

This Ta**us Moon grounds her mystery in the body. In sensation. In instinct. In the deep intelligence of matter itself. Inanna teaches that the womb is a living field, personal and cosmic — where experience composts into wisdom, where desire, grief, pleasure, and power coexist as creative force.

Through her descent, we pass through thresholds layer by layer, arriving at a place of profound stillness and recognition. And from this depth, Inanna rises — not as a return to what was, but as a fuller inhabiting of what is becoming. She carries the codes of renewal, sovereignty, and embodied presence. Her ascent is seamless, born from the same womb that received her descent.

As the year turns, Inanna stands with us at the threshold of time, holding continuity between what has been lived and what is ready to be born. She reminds us that every cycle completes itself in wholeness, and every beginning is already seeded within the depths we have tended.

Tonight, the womb of the Great Goddess is luminous… And we are held within it.

𒀭 𒀭 𒀭 𒀭 𒀭 𒀭 𒀭 𒀭 𒀭
Why Inanna Was Kept for Last

Inanna was saved for the final day of The Goddess of the Day offerings simply because she contains all the others. Every goddess you honored this year moves through her body.

To close the year with Inanna is to trust the spiral.
To trust that what has been lived has meaning.
To trust the womb of time itself.

She stands at the threshold not as an ending, but as a keeper of continuity — holding the memory of what has been and the quiet pulse of what is ready to arrive.

This is why she comes last.
Because she gathers everything.
So, with Inanna, I rest this offering — a year of daily devotion that surprised me with its intensity, shaped me through its constancy, and leaves me deeply grateful for having been able to walk it through to its natural completion.

Si-STARS, we have an amazing year ahead filled with Unconditional Love, and Light! Our shared capacity to love is one of most beautiful aspects of ourselves. May we awaken even more in 2026 to our inner Goddess and open our Hearts for Unconditional Love! The world needs you now more than ever!

BONUS
GODDESS OF THE DAY- FROST MOTHER
SILVER-ROOTED SISTER-SPIRIT TO CAILLEACH

On this Tuesday evening of December 30th we have a Waxing Gibbous Moon in Ta**us with an illuminated surface of 79% and growing larger… The lunar cycle is 10 days old. With the powerfully severe Arctic cold front that’s presently sweeping across the country, this additional Goddess of the Day - Frost Mother, sister to Cailleach's wild spirit, reveals her presence in the crisp, icy breath of winter. She embodies the stillness of frosty world, veiled in delicate crystals, a land is locked in slumber.

As Cailleach's sister, she can also mirror
the darker, transformative aspects of the cycle – the stripping away, the surrender to the cold's discipline. Together, they weave the tapestry of seasonal rhythms, balancing life's ebb and flow.

This Spirit-Sister captures the stillness between storms in a fleeting moment of suspended breath, a pocket of quiet where the air vibrates with anticipation. It's as if the very atmosphere is poised, gathering energy for the tempest's next move. The calm is almost palpable, a heavy silence that presses against the skin.

In this interlude, time slows, and the world holds its collective breath. The lull before the storm's return is a moment of eerie tranquility, where the landscape waits, watchful and still. It's a reminder that calm and turmoil are intertwined, each giving depth to the other.

❄️✨ ❄️

Transmitted goddesses are just as potent and valid as historical ones. People have always been receiving and interpreting divine energies, and naming them is part of the sacred conversation. So, I’m including the Frost Mother as one of the the goddesses in our Goddess of the Day space. I love this channeling of her by
The Crones Grove:

❄️ The Frost-Mother of the Yulewood

“In the oldest winter lore, it is said that when the sun stands still and the nights are longest, the forest awakens its true keeper. She is not born, nor does she die—she sleeps within the trees, waiting for Yule.

Some call her The Frost-Mother, others The Silver-Rooted One, and in the far north she is remembered as a sister-spirit to Cailleach—not the storm-bringer, but the stillness between storms.

⸻

🌲 The Tree That Holds Her

The tree in the image is known in folklore as a World-Hearth Tree:
• Its roots drink from the deep earth, where ancestors rest.
• Its trunk holds the present, firm and enduring.
• Its branches touch the frozen sky, catching moonlight and snow.

At Yule, the Frost-Mother emerges halfway, never fully stepping free—because winter is a season of thresholds, not endings.

⸻

🌕 The Hanging Orbs

The glassy spheres are called Moon Seeds in folk tradition.
• They represent trapped moonlight, hung by spirits to keep the forest from forgetting the sun.
• Each orb holds a wish made in silence during the darkest nights.
• When they freeze, the wish sleeps.
• When they melt, the wish begins to move.

Old folk would hang crystal or glass in trees at Yule to invite protection and luck, believing the Frost-Mother would bless them.

⸻

❄️ Snowflakes as Sigils

In winter witch-lore, no two snowflakes are the same because each is a spell.
• Snowflakes in this image act as wards—binding the forest against chaos.
• They mark sacred ground where no evil thing may hunt.
• To step beneath such flakes was to be temporarily invisible to harm.

This is why elders warned:

“Do not shout in falling snow. The forest is listening.”

⸻

👁 Her Face

She does not smile, nor does she threaten.
Her expression is one of watchful patience.

Folklore says:
• She remembers every winter that ever was.
• She watches to see who honors the dark instead of fearing it.
• Those who rush the season feel heavier.
• Those who rest are quietly rewarded.

⸻

🔥 Her Role at Yule

The Frost-Mother’s duty is not death—but preservation.

She:
• Holds seeds asleep beneath snow
• Keeps stories safe in bark and bone
• Guards the pause between one year and the next
• Ensures the sun will return, because it always has

On the final night of Yule, she is said to sink back into the tree, leaving behind:
• Clear air
• Quiet hope
• And the faintest promise of lengthening days”

⸻

🕯 Old Yule Saying

“Honor the frost, and the fire will last.
Rush the dark, and winter will bite.”

GODDESS OF THE DAY - VESTA
🔥LA DEA DEL FUOCO SACRO🔥
(The Goddess of the Sacred Flame)

This is a message for my:
sister-empaths
sister-poets
my sister-prophets
my sister-seers, healers
and for my sister wolves.

A message for the Matriarchy that holds the world together.

I’m talking to you!
Through time, and past space

I have come such a very long way to share this moment with you now.

I feel you rumbling through the deep of me
You hearing this message today or any day
you are why I am.
You have made me,
called me forth out of infinite possible forms
into this gritty and wild young world
just for what is happening,
right now,
in this holy instant.

I have trembled with you,
against the blanket of a dark velvet sky
and watched the twinkling of your own glory
standing fast against the darkness
blazing fearlessly in the might of your own glory
and the glory of that which created you.

You! Listening…
You! Reading…
I knew we’d meet again,
at the turning of the tides
in the death throes of a flailing dragon
crashing burning itself alive
falling to piles of dust that will become mountains
in another age.

And here we are
at the changing of the guard
at the first crack of dawn
in the twilight of the world.

And here we are
setting fires
blazing recklessly
raging hard
with the fierceness of all the women
who came before us
all the women,
who will come next.
For this we have done what was necessary to

unbury
the
light

that will not go out.

We will not hide it;
we will sing out holy songs.

Under the Waxing Gibbous Moon in Ta**us of today, Tuesday, December 30th, with the Moon’s illuminated surface nearing fullness, the spectacle of Vesta rises as the eternal flame. I have invited Vesta into this penultimate Goddess of the Day space because Vesta is a goddess for all you si-STARS who have been set aflame, burned to to ash… and resurrected…

Vesta arrives out the ancient, fiery roots of yesterday’s Aries phase, landing in the present Waxing Gibbous Moon in Ta**us with a an energy of spiritual growth that’s emerging at this time to reconnect us with the cyclical energies of the Moon.

Vesta reminds us that sacredness of this Ta**us Moon as it amplifies her essence beautifully. Ta**us teaches devotion through the tangible: tending, nourishing, sustaining.
The Moon’s magical cycle invites us to sync our lives to the universal rhythms… This Moon’s vibrations awaken your inner fires with the Goddess Vesta… For she reaches out with Her ancient story to help us remember and reclaim these transformative mysteries, the sacred illumination of the soul of Nature, and of the lunar qualities of the Feminine. In alignment with the Ta**us Moon, Vesta is the epitome of home and family, both chastity and sexuality, sisterhood, ritual, and devotion… A goddess whose devoted priestesses ritualistically invoked Her presence by the sacred fires that burned at Her hearth of her fire temple.

Vesta of the Romans is the Goddess of the Hearth, the sacred center around which life organizes itself. Every home, every temple, every city was consecrated through her presence. Before any ritual began, Vesta was honored first—because without center, nothing holds.

With these roots that extended all the way to ancient Roman religion, indicating the prominence of the priestesshood devoted to Her… The Vestal Virgins served Rome's college of full-time priestesses. Vesta is remembered as one of the most beloved and important deities to appear in the Roman polytheism. According to Ovid, She is the Earth itself, the sacred sphere (orb) that makes life possible as we know it: "Vesta is the Earth itself, both have the perennial fire, the Earth and the sacred Fire show their see."

✨🔥✨

There is a special hidden meaning of the Goddess Vesta that draws us back to earlier times; times of marshes and vegetation; times that still have meaning to the women who walk with their feet in touch with the earth.

Vesta's choice to remain virgin, one-in-herself and not directly related to a man was incorporated into the Roman laws governing the Vestal Virgins. ...This image is central to the meaning of the quality of "virgin" or one-in-herself to women.

The knowledge of her faithfulness to that which she is pledged comes from the goddess within herself and cannot be judged by man-made laws, or her own animus.

The quality of being true to oneself, exemplified by the Goddess Vesta, is described movingly in Irene Castiullejo's paper on "Soul Images of Women." She defines the soul as "one's essential core" and "the immortal essence that looks out of a baby's eyes."

She is speaking of that which each woman knows in herself to be true and which must not be betrayed. ...as being true to one's own feeling, not to a contract or principle. The psychological necessity of being *true to oneself* is of particular significance for women who are called upon to meet the needs of children, husband, lovers, and others. ...Her primacy and omnipresence point to her necessity and centrality in a woman's spiritual development.

A woman, [when] in her aspect as Virgin, sacrifices her personal relationship to a man in order to obtain a deeper relationship with her own soul.

Ovid explains "Conceive of Vesta as naught but the living flame..."

- Barbara Black Koltov, Weaving Woman

As the year wanes, Vesta invites us inward.
Not to retreat, but to re-center.

What flame are you choosing to carry forward into the next cycle?
What inner fire deserves protection, patience, and quiet devotion?

Vesta is the Goddess who asks for no throne, yet without her, no throne can stand.

Tonight, she burns at the heart of all transitions, holding space between what has been and what is becoming.

LUNA-MAR love to all of our si-STARs/priestesses/healers/goddesses! The channeled messages of Vesta that have come through a thousand dimensions of times and spaces speak of bringing priestesses together to connect with the bounty and blessings received from our beloved Luna. Abundant Blessings!

BONUS GODDESS OF THE DAY- MARI
SHAPESHIFTER • PROPHETESS • HEALER

Tonight’s Moon is an invitation for the Basque Queen Mari to grace our temple space…. A space that brings us into a spiritual-radiance bearing lunation of the consciousness of Mari. At its core beats, this luminous Mother Goddess, a rare and powerful Feminine presence in a world of patriarchal tales. The Divine Feminine Light of Mari is the pulse of the land, the embodiment of Amalur, Mother Earth herself.

I’ve chosen to bring in this bonus Goddess this evening since the moon has now moved into Ta**us. Invoking Mari under this Venusian lunar influence in itself is an invitation to connect with the power, wisdom and radiance of the Sacred Feminine. She is the Queen of nature, and all beings – human, animal, spirit – move within her orbit.

Mari is the Goddess Supreme of Basque mythology. She is the Lady of the Moon as well as various forces of nature such as wind, storms, lightning. She is a shape-shifter, prophetess and oracle, Goddess of sorcery, divination and witches. In the cradle of the Basque mountains, this ancient Earth Goddess, reigns supreme. Her essence weaves through the rugged landscape, a tapestry of power, wisdom, and transformation. She is the keeper of balance, her presence echoing through caves and peaks, as she moves with the rhythms of nature.

She dwells in these sacred mountains where her spirit woven into the rugged peaks and hidden caves. Anboto, the revered mountain, is her throne, where she is known as Anbotoko Mari, mistress of the elements. With a glance, she stirs the skies – rainfall pours when she moves, drought grips the land when she withdraws. Her presence is a balance of nature's fury and bounty.

Mari's form is fluid, a reflection of her multifaceted power, a woman in crimson, a serpent coiled in the earth, a mare galloping through the night, or a fireball blazing across the sky. Her home is the sacred mountain, Amboto, and the hidden caves where the earth's energies pulse.

By her side stands Sugaar, the storm's wild heartbeat, entwined with Mari in a sacred dance of cosmic union. Together, they unleveash the thunderstorm's fury, a primal expression of the earth's creative power.

To those who honor the land and live with integrity, Mari offers her blessings. But to those who exploit and disregard the natural world, she responds with the fierce cry of the storm, the drought's parched silence, and the unraveling of fortune.

In this ancient landscape, Mari's presence is woven into the fabric of existence, alongside the enigmatic beings who inhabit the shadows – the Lamiak, gentle water nymphs; the Jentilak, ancient giants of the land; and Gaueko, the night's mysterious spirit.

Mari's enduring legacy is a beacon, illuminating the sacred feminine in nature, a powerful reminder of the earth's inherent wisdom and the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.

Mari's name is a whispered echo of ancient reverence, rooted in the sacred syllables of "Emari" – the gift, the bestowal of life. Or perhaps it springs from "Amari," a tender invocation of mother, a title of power and profession. As the vowels shifted, the essence remained – a name that holds the heartbeat of a people, a culture, a land.

The threads of history weave a fascinating tale: Mari's name, so close to Mary, became a bridge between worlds. In the heart of Euskal Herria, Basque mythology unfolds as a rich tapestry of ancient stories, woven from the threads of pre-Christian wisdom. The ancient reverence for the Mother found a new expression in the veneration of the Virgin Mary, Andre Maria, Andra Mari – a continuity of devotion, a thread of the sacred feminine unbroken.

Blessings from the enchanting mystery of the Queen of Nature of the magical Basque people.

GODDESS OF THE DAY - MINERVA

The lunar cycle is 9 days old today, Monday, December 29th. Mental energy levels are buoyant as minds are keen for knowledge experiences under the Waxing Aries Moon. The illuminated surface of the Moon is 69% and growing larger. Influenced by Luna in Aries, the Goddess of the Day - Minerva, is heightening our intuition while forging new pathways of the mind. She reminds us that we must return to the Wisdom… return to the Feminine… return to the Source. So, take solace in the adventures you have with only your instincts guiding you…. Mind-blowing epiphanies shake up your perspective when Minerva and the Moon meet… Sacred intelligence embodied. Together, they dissolve the false split between knowing and feeling.

The Roman Goddess Minerva stands as Protectress and Healer, yet Her roots reach deep into Etruscan soil, where She was honored as Menrva or Menfa/Menrfaz. Her martial nature drew Her into kinship with the Greek Athena, a convergence that speaks to the living transmission of divine presence across cultures. The Etruscan reverence for this Goddess flowered alongside Hellenic influence, creating a sacred synthesis. Minerva and Athena share profound resonance, for Minerva embodies sacred, lunar intelligence made manifest. She restores the wholeness between knowing and feeling, between strategy and tenderness, revealing these as complementary facets of divine consciousness.

In Roman spiritual practice, Minerva governs handicrafts, the professions, the arts, and the disciplines of conflict resolution. Her relationship to battle centers on strategic wisdom rather than bloodlust or the raw aggression embodied by deities such as Mars. She reigns as virgin goddess over music, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, and magic—sovereign of all that requires both skill and sacred intention. Her companion creature, the owl, appears beside Her in countless depictions, a living symbol of Her connection to deep knowing and the mysteries that emerge from darkness into light.

Many scholars recognize Her worship as an evolution of Athena's veneration, carried from Etruria into Roman consciousness. Minerva is power before the patriarch… She is sacred before the structure. Her position within the Capitoline triad alongside Jupiter and Juno affirms Her central importance to Roman spiritual and civic life. On the Aventine Hill, Her shrine became a gathering place for guilds of artisans, and for a time, dramatic poets and actors found sanctuary there, acknowledging Her patronage of all creative and skilled endeavors… But when we truly recognize and recognize Minerva, we remember what it feels like to be held by the Divine before any institution prescribed the terms of that embrace.

For nearly all of human history, the Divine wore a woman's face. The shift towards male-dominated pantheons in Rome began around the 3rd century BCE (2,300-2,200 years ago), influenced by Greek and Etruscan traditions. Jupiter, Mars, and other male gods gained prominence, but Goddess worship persisted. Key goddess figures like Juno, Minerva, and Vesta remained central in Roman state religion until the rise of Christianity in the 4th century CE (about 1,600-1,700 years ago) which obviously further impacted Goddess worship.

The Church's appropriation and assimilation of ancient sacred sites is a tangible reminder that the Goddess wasn't just erased – Her spaces were repurposed, Her energies redirected. The temples, groves, and mountains once dedicated to Her were rebranded, yet the sacred energy lingers. It's as if the foundations of these structures still hold the resonance of the Feminine Divine, waiting to be acknowledged and reclaimed. This echoes the ancient wisdom of the Goddess being the foundation of all creation.

The Temple of Minerva stands as one such testament. In Pompeii, the Temple of Minerva Chalcidica, also known as the Minervium, honored this Goddess of wisdom, healing, crafts, and strategic understanding. This was a place where the Sacred Feminine was celebrated in Her fullness: intelligent, creative, protective, sovereign. This temple is an example of Christianity spreading across the Roman world, and yet another of Her holy sites being Christianized. Upon the ancient ruins of Minerva's temple, the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva was raised—Saint Mary above Minerva, the name itself a declaration of spiritual conquest and layered devotion.

Yet even in this architectural palimpsest, we can read the truth: Minerva's presence was so powerful, so deeply rooted in the spiritual landscape, that She could not be fully erased. Instead, She was covered over, Her temple transformed into the foundation for what came after. The Goddess remains beneath, holding up the structures built to replace Her, still present for those who know how to remember.

Minerva is not merely archetype or metaphor. She is historical truth, woven into the very fabric of our collective past… Remembering Minerva is a visceral knowing, a spiritual inheritance that pulses through our bones, predating scripture and creed…
Because to honor Minerva is to honor all the sacred spaces that were never truly lost, only hidden. It is to recognize that the feminine Divine continues to dwell in the foundations of our spiritual heritage, waiting patiently to be acknowledged once more.

My focus these days are on offering highly psychic tarot card readings via the round cards of the Motherpeace deck. Tapping into the wisdom of Minerva, this enthralling goddess of strategy and protection, to guide my tarot readings is what I’m being called to offer on these final days of 2025.

Whether you're seeking insight into a challenging situation or guidance on your spiritual path, let's explore the ancient wisdom of the tarot together. Book a reading with me and discover how Minerva's energies can illuminate your journey. My “Herstorical-Oracular” guidance approach will transport you to ancient Pompeii by helping you shift the narrative of seeing Minerva’s sites as mere historical relics to understanding them as vibrant, pulsing centers of spiritual energy. It's like reactivating a dormant network of sacred pathways, allowing you to reconnect with our collective past and present future of the Feminine Intelligence.
