Sekhmet Temple Leo Morning Star Rise Retreat

Why Journey to the Sekhmet Temple? 

On August 22, 2015 a new 19 month Initiatory Journey of Venus begins, igniting the Solar Feminine archetype of Leo. When healthy this archetype expresses as sacred feminine power and leadership captured in the imagery of the Radiant Divine Sovereign Queen. There are many examples in our cross-cultural ancient pantheons of Goddess Queens, including Inanna, Ishtar, Isis, Hera, Juno, Amaterasu, Astarte, Rhiannon, Lakshmi, Peresphone, Erishkigal, Selene, Freya, Ixchel and many more.

As Venus begins her new initiatory journey in the archetypal realm of Leo, our new Venus Tele-Class series will explore many of these Goddess with a special focus on Sekhmet, the Egyptian Lionheaded Queen Goddess often depicted with the Solar Disk on her head. Although her story has been distorted in its patriarchal telling, there are remnants within these Tellings that let us know Sekhmet is a pure divine solar light carrying the best of the Royal Codes of Queenship. She reminds us these light codes are within each of us and over the next 19 months we have an opportunity to remember our divine heritage and reclaim it.

The ancient Egyptians describe Sekhmet as the daughter of Ra, the feminine eye of the Sun, sent to Earth to restore balance and order. Her job was, and still is, to alchemically transform the negativity that plagues the Earth. She does this by devouring it, taking it into her belly, or alchemical cauldron, digesting and transforming it in to a powerful expression of Pure Divine Love.

Sekhmet’s name derived from Sekhem describes her purpose as it is an ancient Egyptian word meaning “sacred power” or sacred energy. She is a Solar Goddess who restores cosmic law (for Maat) and balance through Divine Alchemy transforming negative energy – returning it to its original Divine expression.

In ancient Egyptian times the first step on the path of initiation to reclaim one’s divine sovereignty and power was to go before a priestess of Sekhmet, in essence standing before Sekhmet herself. These priestesses would determine if the initiate was truly willing to let go of negative egoic patterns and step into their power from a place of integrity and humility before they were allowed to begin their initiatory journey. It was important for the initiate to know that this journey was NOT about gaining personal power to rule over others but rather to stand in the strength and power of their divine essence as an inspiration to all those who were seeking the path of divine self-love.

As this New Venus Cycle begins we will travel to a Temple dedicated to Sekhmet to meet her face to face – asking for her support in transmuting or alchemically transforming any negative or low vibration energy we may carry that interferes with our ability to truly love ourselves. It is a process, a journey that requires willingness and surrender for the purpose of consciously reclaiming our divine nature and our ability to fully channel, metabolize and radiate divine light.
