THE ARCTURIAN CORRIDORSTEP 14, PART II

Stories of InitiationRaHo Tep, The Initiate

Dear Ones,

We are the Arcturians, returned again to greet you in our Corridor so that we may share with you another story of Initiation. Matia is with us to day to tell the story.

“Thank you, dear Arcturians. I am most grateful for this opportunity to relate my story to the grand Beings I see before me within this Corridor of Light. I, Matia, have been gone from the physical planes of my beloved Goddess, Gaia, for many of your Earth generations. However, my Spirit still holds form, as does the Spirit of RaHoTep. I am honored to follow his story with my own.

“I had been born with the birth sac across my face and my mother, taking that as an omen, immediately had my fortune read. The diviner said that I would grow up to be a great Oracle, and that I should be given to the Goddess on my fifth birthday. My mother was also told about a great decision that I would make in my twenty-fifth year that would change my life forever. However, my mother died shortly after bringing me to Delphi and never revealed the decision with which I would be faced. My only mother would then be the Goddess. I would have to seek counsel from Her and hope that I would make the right choice.

“When I first came to the caves of Delphi, my job had been to help clean the caves and gather water from the well. In time I earned my superior's trust and was given more and more responsibility. First, I assisted in feeding the many people who came to Delphi to receive a reading by the Oracles, and, eventually, they allowed me to run messages back and forth from the dignitaries to the officials of Delphi. Everything I did was in or near the caves.

“Others may have perceived the caves as being cold and lonely, but to me the darkness of the caves felt warm and reassuring. It had been home and mother to me since I was five. I had a best friend named Zulia. We did everything together. We ate together, slept together, and worked together as often as possible. It was no surprise when we started our menses on the same day. We were thirteen and so happy that we could barely contain ourselves, because we knew that we would be given our rites of passage together as well.

“The High Priestess had been told that two children were dying and that two women were being born. The High Priestess herself blindfolded us and, holding onto the golden cord around her waist, we were led to the sacred pools deep inside the caves. Only the High Priestess knew where they were. The secret was passed on from one High Priestess to the next. We arrived at the pools exhausted and muddy from stepping in the many puddles and bumping against the damp walls of the cave. For the entire journey we had not been allowed to speak a single word, and if we dropped the golden cord, no one would give it to us. We would have to find it ourselves with our blindfolds still on. Therefore, Zulia and I held on to the cord like life itself.

“At the pools, we were allowed to untie our blindfolds. We were instructed to remove all our clothing and to burn them with the torch that the High Priestess had been holding. She then led each of us to our own pool at opposite ends of the cavern and warned us that we were to have NO communication. Now we would be left alone with only meager rations to eat, and the water in the pool to warm and comfort us. As we stepped into our pools, we found that the water was warm and effervescent. The steam rising from the pools brought warmth to our naked bodies. I found a relatively comfortable ledge by the pool where I would wait and meditate through my first blood. For the first time since we had met as children, Zulia and I could not communicate about our experience. I willed myself to forget about her and to concentrate only on the Goddess.

“'When you have finished your bleeding, call me in your meditations, and I will come to birth the new woman and present her to her Sisters,' said the High Priestess. Without another word, she took the torch and left us in total darkness. Although, we kept our vow and did not speak to each other, we found great comfort in knowing that we were together. We were like twins awaiting birth from the same womb. I finished my blood several days before Zulia. I went into meditation and silently called the High Priestess. Within a short time she was there. Somehow she had heard my call. I will never forget the joy I felt when I did not need to wear the blindfold for my return trip.

“Now, I was a woman. I was completely changed, but my skin still felt the warm glow of the mineral waters of the pool. My sisters ran to me in welcome. They brushed and styled my hair and adorned me with a long gown with a silver cord around the waist that only the women could wear. My short robe with the rope bindings lay in ashes beside the pools. However, my joy dimmed because Zulia was not with me. I feared that she would feel abandoned by me and would never quite forgive me. I know I never totally forgave myself. Perhaps I should have waited for her. But I had not. It was a decision I had made, one that I could not change.

“After I was adorned as a woman with my hair atop my head and my long gown, I was blindfolded again and led by all my sister Priestesses. They giggled and chattered like a hundred birds. We were all merry, as the anticipation of a great surprise filled the many tunnels that they guided me through. At last they grew silent, and I felt them all watching my response as we went round the final turn. I was still blindfolded and could see nothing, but a warm breeze and a melody of beautiful scents welcomed me. I knew that I was approaching an opening as I felt the light through my blindfold.

“Then all my sisters gathered about me and sang a beautiful song. We called it ‘Welcome to Womanhood'. At the end of the final chorus, they became silent and somber. From somewhere in the opening I could smell the High Priestess coming to me. I had learned to recognize her by smell from our journey into and out of the sacred pools. The High Priestess took my hand and led me into sunlight so bright that my face was instantly flushed. She then stood just before me and placed her hands upon my shoulders. I could feel her eyes burrowing into my Soul.

“'Do you swear, Matia, upon your life, to keep the Secret of the Mysteries that are to be revealed to you?' “'Yes,†I replied in a firm voice. “'Matia,†she asked again. “Do you swear to hold until your death the secret of this special place which you are about to see?†“'Yes, I swear upon my life to carry these secrets into the Elysian Fields of the Netherworld upon my death!†“The High Priestess embraced me and removed my blindfold.

“Everyone laughed merrily as I gasped at the vision before me. For many years, I had spent all my sleeping hours and most of my waking hours in or near the cave. Light was something that had been reflective. It reflected off the cliffs near the cave mouth or from the candles and oil lamps. When the blindfold was removed, I was almost blinded by the intense and direct light. But I could see, and everywhere I looked was incredible beauty. The Goddess had kissed this valley and hidden it for only Her Priestesses to enjoy.

“'This is the Light of the Mother,' whispered the High Priestess. ‘If ever you speak of this valley to the uninitiated, you shall extinguish a part of that Light. We keep the Mystery of the Goddess alive within this valley. To go against the Mother is to go against the Secret of Life. If anyone divulges the secret of this valley, they must surrender their lives in repentance.'

“I had vowed with my life to keep the secret, and I meant it. My mother had chosen my life as a Priestess, but I had come to totally embrace it. I had seen the ‘kept women' of the dignitaries. They carried their beauty in their jewelry and clothes rather than in their eyes. Their only power was over their servants or slaves. They soon grew fat in overindulgence and shame—shame that they had lost their beauty, shame that their men openly took lovers (male and female), and shame that they had lost themselves because they had lost their connection to the Great Mother. The price for losing my connection to the Mother was too great. I would keep Her secrets, Her power, and Her virginity. I didn't understand what the joy was in sex anyway, at least, not yet.

“I learned later that the cave wound its way beneath a mountain and opened up on a beautiful isolated valley that could only be reached by traveling through the cave or over high peaks. The cave's entrance to the valley had been sealed by a rockslide for unknown years until one of the earliest Priestesses received a vision explaining how to remove the rocks. As the last rocks were cleared, they saw this beautiful, pristine valley. The valley was a secret and only the ‘women,' those who had passed their first initiation, knew about it.

“The valley was vital in the life of the Priestesses of Delphi because it afforded them the freedom that they needed to do their mission. In the valley they had freedom from intervention, freedom from the outside community and, most importantly, freedom from men—or at least, freedom from male domination. Once, all had worshiped the Goddess. They knew Her as the creator of the form of their lands and the form of their bodies. Everyone loved and respected Her and the land that was Her body. All Her subjects were equal. Animals, birds, insects, plants and people were all equal citizens of Her realm.

“But slowly, the Goddess was being forgotten. Times were changing. The men were worshipping their gods of war and possession, and the Goddess held less and less importance to them, as did the women. Women had become a possession of their men, who saw them only as a source of enjoyment and procreation. In fact, one of the few times that the men consulted women was when they came to the Oracle. But would they have listened to these women if they could have slept with them?

“In the olden days, male and female sex was an expression of Spirituality. It was a dedication of their joint energies to the Great Goddess. Men and women would rejoice in the creative force of the Mother and create wonderful magic with their sexuality. But now it had changed. Men used intercourse as a way to possess their women. And women, who were quickly losing their ability to survive on their own without the Light of the Goddess, were using sex to ‘trap' men into wanting to take care of them. This is why the Priestesses were virgins. It was not a matter of morality, or purity, or even power, as the men wished to believe. It was because their virginity won them freedom. In the valley, a man's foot had never trod. The women could wander through the many trails in complete nudity, without any fear of judgment or lust.

“After our rite of passage, we were allowed to go deeper into the cave, live in the Priestess' quarters, and serve our older sisters. Zulia was placed in the East Quarters and I was in the West. We were kept very busy with our separate duties. Although we were heartbroken by our separation, we would sneak off to be with each other as often as possible. However, there was something different about our relationship since our initiation. Maybe it was just that we were now women, whereas before, we had been children. One day, while studying together with the High Priestess, she tried to explain this to us.

“'Now you are Priestesses,†she said. ‘It is not appropriate for a Priestess to become too attached to anyone or anything. Our power comes from our ability to be free of needs and desires, and our freedom is limited if we are attached to the outside world rather than the world inside ourselves. Once, the Priestesses could leave Delphi for two or three seven-year cycles in order to marry or have children. However, in the last hundred years or so, we found that the Priestesses would not return once they left, because the indoctrination of the patriarchal world would erode the memory of their true selves. Many initiates who would have been very powerful Priestesses were lost. Therefore, we have changed our rules. We live in a difficult world now. We women must work together to keep the Light of the Great Mother alive!'

“I did not yet understand the power of her words. I was young and had not been tempted. Zulia had also made her promises and felt much the same as I. We loved the Goddess, and we loved her secrets. More love than that was not needed. Many of the Greek men were fully satisfied by their own sex and openly loved each other when they came to the Oracle. Why couldn't women do the same?***

“As I grew older, I took more initiations. I served in the Priestess' Quarters for three more years. Then it was my time to join a group of my sister Priestesses and go into the deepest darkness of the cave to face the darkness within myself. For two years we did not see the light of day. We came out only at night to do our Moon rituals and returned to the depths of the cave to continue our lessons and deep introspection.

“When I was just a child, my life had been so simple. I had had no desire or emotion pulling at my heart because everything I needed was around me. However, at this time I began to have strange yearnings, which I could not understand. I knew that they had something to do with sex, but it was more than just sex, I hoped. It was about love. Suddenly, the love of the Goddess seemed to be lacking in some way, and I needed something that was outside the safe surroundings of my life.

“Not every woman could give up her personal desires for her spiritual destiny. There was the animal body in which her spirit lived, which desired to mate and procreate. I understood why the Priestesses could not marry or bear children in a world were women would lose their power with a man, but I began to resent the limitations of my chosen path. Why must I sacrifice so much for my inner life? Was I not also a woman? While deep in the caves, I viewed other lives in which I had had lovers, husbands and children, but still the sacrifice seemed too high. I searched inside my self for an answer and cried to my Inner Guides for help, but all I found was more pain. When would I ever find peace?

“I had been in the cave for two years, had studied past lives, and had faced birth and death many times. I learned the reason I had chosen the parents I had been born to and the reason I chose to incarnate into my present life. I could meditate for many days at a time, without food or water, and I could walk in the total darkness with only the vision of my own inner light. How could I have achieved all of these powers when I still had such doubt and desire locked inside my heart?

“I felt guilty and ashamed. I felt as though I had been lying to my mentors and fellow initiates. And, worst of all, I felt as though I had been lying to the Goddess! I would have to leave Delphi. I did not deserve to stay. I was almost ready to resign from the Delphi, when I had a vision, or actually, it was a visitation from my Inner Guide, Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Truth. I knew that it was not an illusion because she touched me.

“One day, I could take it no longer and decided to leave that night after all the others were asleep. I did not have to worry about waking up, as I could not go to sleep. At last, everyone was asleep and it was my chance to leave. I knew that I was being a coward to sneak out in the dead of night, but I could not stand another moment of my inner turmoil. Perhaps if I could be alone for a few days, I would be able to return and submit my formal resignation. I rose from my mat and sneaked from the sleeping room like a criminal. Then the most unusual thing happened. I got lost in the mazes of the cave. This was impossible!

“I had lived in these caves for two years and was certain that I knew every inch of them like the back of my hand. I realize now that my Soul had intervened and confused my poor, wounded ego. I was sure at first that I could find my way out of the maze, but instead I seemed to be moving deeper and deeper into unknown territory. At last I realized that I was completely lost. Perhaps this was the labyrinth of the Final Initiation for which I was obviously not ready. I would die here in this passage and become one of the skeletons that I had bumped into as my flight became more and more desperate.

“Finally, I came to a cavern which I had never seen before. There were stalagmites and stalactites all around the entrance. As I entered, I found that the cavern housed a large pool. Most amazing of all, the cavern was filled with light. It was not direct light like the Sun, but more like the reflective light of the Moon. How could this be? I must be many miles beneath the surface of the earth by now. There could not possibly be an opening to the exterior light at this depth. Nonetheless, the cavern was filled with light. I looked around to find the source of this mysterious glow. It appeared that the light was stronger on the other side of the water. Going around the pool, however, would be very difficult, as both sides rose straight up from the water without even a small ledge upon which to crawl. I would have to go into this unknown body of water in order to find the source of the

light.

“I could have chosen to leave the cavern, but since I was totally lost and would probably die anyway, I decided to be daring enough to enter the water. If I died here, at least it would be in an act of courage rather than in an act of cowardice. I entered the water slowly and carefully. My wrap quickly became a hindrance to my movement, and I had to get out of the pool and take it off. I left it by the edge of the water. If I ever returned, I might need it. I now re-entered the water totally naked. The water was exactly my body temperature and felt like liquid skin. It was denser than regular water and completely black. Perhaps it was not water, but some other liquid that I had not encountered before.

“I kept my head out of the water and hugged the edge of the pool, holding on to the small rocks and ridges which encircled it. I also tried floating, with my body as close to the surface as possible, as I was not brave enough to meet whatever may be living within the depth of the blackness all around me. At last, I reached the other side. I pulled myself from the water, scratching my bare skin on the rough rocks as I did so. I was now naked, bleeding, and quite terrified. However, the light did appear to be brighter on this side, and there seemed to be a small path, which meandered into the growing light. I followed it.

“Gradually, I began to hear tones coming either from a delicate instrument or a human voice. The tones were pure and sweet and unlike any I had ever heard. We had learned how to heal with color and tone, but these tones were beyond anything I had experienced. The light also began to change. What was once a pearl white light resembling moonshine now began to take on other colors as well. Eventually, all the colors of the spectrum, as well as some that I had not seen, began to dance and twirl through the beams of light that I was following. The light and tone was familiar to me in some way. It reminded me of something that I knew just beyond the conscious reaches of my mind.

“As I became absorbed in the light and sound, my fear faded and was replaced with a stillness and peace that I had not known since I had entered the caves. My cuts stopped bleeding, as my physical, emotional and mental wounds began to heal. My heart became light and joyous and my mind clear of doubt and guilt. I fell to the ground and thanked the Goddess.

“'Oh, Beloved Mother, if I am to die now, I thank you for allowing me to do so in this way. I am at last at peace and I surrender my body, heart, mind, and spirit to you. In deepest love and gratitude, I give my life to you.'

“Then I saw her. It was the Goddess Athena. She stepped out from behind a final turn in my path and stood before me in complete Love and Majesty.

“'Arise, my dear. My Priestesses do not kneel upon the ground, but rather, stand tall in complete dignity and power.'

“Your Priestesses? I questioned in my mind. What could she mean?

“'If I have chosen you to be a representative of the Goddess, do you defy me by allowing doubt and insecurity to enter your heart?'

“'Oh no, Goddess. I do not doubt you. I surrender my life to the service of you and the Truth that you represent. Of all the Goddesses to whom I have called, you have always touched my heart the most. I have had many dreams of meeting you and given many offerings to your sanctuary. To be your representative would be the greatest of all honor.'

“'Would it be more important than having a husband, children, and a life outside of the Temple?'

“'Yes, yes!' I spoke without a shred of doubt or confusion. ‘Now, a life of servitude to a husband and a family seemed unimportant when I could be of service to the Goddess. I lovingly and completely accept this opportunity. '

“That is when the great Pallas Athena touched me. She took a wrap from behind the rock near which she stood. It was the color of moonbeams, and when it moved it reflected all the colors of the rainbow, and more. She came to me, and with her own hands, she draped it around my naked form and fastened it over my left shoulder with a silver pin shaped like an owl, the symbol of her wisdom. She then gave me this necklace that I still wear. She carefully placed the amethyst upon my heart and told me to always wear it.

“My first thought was that I would damage this lovely garment in the murky water that I would have to cross to return. She smiled at me and said,'There is another way that is not filled with darkness and fear. Follow my light, Dear One, and the way shall open before you.'

“I tried to bow before her, but she would not allow it.

“'You are a representative of the Goddess; you bow before no one!'

“With these final words, Pallas Athena again stepped behind the bend. When I looked after her, she was gone. However, her light was before me as well as her voice. I don't know how long it took me to return, but the entire time that I followed her light, I heard her voice. She told me many Mysteries that I cannot share with anyone. When I was at last free of the maze, I found myself at the cavern where the Oracles gave their readings to the many who sought counsel.

“In the center of the cavern was a large opening into the Heart of the Mother, Lady Gaia. No one knew how deep this orifice was. If one were to drop a rock into it, they would not hear it land upon the bottom. Sometimes a steam or vapor would rise from this opening, and sometimes it was very calm and still. There was a curved bridge which rose high above the orifice with a large chair placed over the very center of the opening to the Mother. At the time of the rising sun, the Priestesses would ascend via a ladder on the east side of the chair and, at sunset, descend via a ladder on the west side of the chair.

“It was sacrilege to climb the curved ladder and to sit upon the golden chair of the Oracle without permission from the High Priestess. I did not care. The great Athena's voice had instructed me to do so, and I would hear her voice above all external ones. I do not know how long I sat upon the chair, as neither time nor space limited my body. I traveled the inner galaxies and learned many lessons. When the High Priestess found me, she knew by my Light and attire that I had permission from sources higher than her own. I had passed the initiation that I was unaware I was taking, and I was a full-fledged Oracle of Delphi.

“For many years, I served as an Oracle. We sat as Oracles only from the new Moon until the last day of the full Moon. Then, as the Moon began to wane into her darkness, we stood down from the chair and spent our days in self-reflection and service to others. The men who came to us wished us to serve them at all times, but we refused. We still held our power, as we were Priestesses and they could NOT make us do what we did not want to do. We were one of the last bastions of female power, and we knew it. We carried a heavy responsibility for all of womankind.

“We would determine which of us would sit upon the chair by divining how each person's biorhythm was synchronized with the Mother's. We would check our star chart, use the pendulum, read the cards, or other methods. Zulia and I remained fast friends. We were no longer attached like children, but we were often together in our relaxing time and would help to determine each other's biorhythm. Zulia was especially expert at reading the cards, whereas I was expert at the star charts. The doubt that had so plagued me in my early youth was gone from me. I felt completely fulfilled and at peace with my destiny. Then, one day, something happened.

“Earlier that day when Zulia was reading my cards, she casually asked me if I was on the verge of a major decision. Suddenly, for the first time, I remembered the prophecy of my childhood. I also realized that I was just a few days from my twenty-fifth birthday. A deep terror struck my heart. The terror seemed so inappropriate to the situation that I said something inconsequential, abruptly fled the room and ran through the caves to the hidden valley. Each of the senior Priestesses had a certain area, which they had chosen to be just theirs, where they could find solitude and garden their herbs and flowers. When, at last, I was within the valley, I went to my special place to settle down and calm my heart and mind.

“How could I have forgotten that I was to have a special challenge at this time, and why was I so terrified by it? I had mastered many portions of myself. How could I have left such a gap in my self-awareness? I tried to go inside, but my emotions were so strong that they closed the doorway to my heart. I had always found that working with the earth and plants of the Mother grounded me and allowed me to communicate more easily with the Goddess. Therefore, I picked up my small shovel and spade that I kept there. I took to my gardening with a passion, breaking off dead flowers and leaves, pulling unwanted plants, and harvesting and nurturing certain herbs or flowers in need. Before I knew it, the sun had moved significantly across the sky. Had I managed to hide from this issue again?

“'No, my dear,' came a sweet and clear voice that I knew at once as the Goddess Pallas Athena. ‘You will not be able to hide from this challenge. You must not judge yourself or your decision. Plans were made at higher levels to which you have already consented. Listen with your heart now, and the way will be revealed to you.'

“Then my Beloved Athena enveloped me in her essence and took me to those higher places that she had mentioned. When I returned to the physical world, the Sun was low in the sky. I did not remember all of where I had been, but I felt calm and confident. I still did not know what my challenge would be, or the decision I would make regarding it. However, I had dedicated my life to the service of the Goddess, and I would allow Her to show me my Path.

“It was time to return to my everyday life and await my destiny. Night came quickly in our hidden valley, as it was completely surrounded by high mountains, but I was covered by dirt from my gardening. I changed my return route in order to cleanse myself in the clear pond at the South end of the valley. This part of the valley was off the regular pathway and was seldom used by anyone, as there were water supplies available to us at more convenient places. Also, I had greatly enjoyed my solitude and was still not quite ready to meet any of my Sisters.

“I arrived at my isolated bathing spot, removed my soiled garment and entered the pond. The water was pure and gentle against my skin, and I took a long, luxurious bath. Finally, I arose from the water. Just as I was wrapping my gown about me, I heard what sounded like a groan. I followed the sound and, much to my surprise, saw a MAN lying in a pool of blood. I was at the very end of the valley and immediately next to the steep cliffs that descended sharply into the valley. I could see in the fading light that the man had fallen from the heights of the mountain down into our secret valley. What was I to do? No man must know of this place. But I certainly could not kill him or leave him to die. I pulled the unconscious man to the edge of the water and bathed his wounds, using torn portions of my gown to wrap them. As if the Goddess had known, some of the herbs that I had harvested were the

exact

ones that I needed at that moment to treat him. Luckily, he did not awaken before I had a chance to cover his eyes with more portions of my garment. He must not become aware of our valley.

“I could only hope that he would not awaken before I could pull him into the cave. Maybe his injuries would be extreme enough for him to forget that he had fallen into our secret valley. We had been trained in moving ill and injured persons, as all of us were given at least some training in the arts of healing. I checked his body to see if his back or neck was injured. It appeared they were not among the many broken bones of his body. I would have to risk moving him. I could not leave him there because he was beginning to move in and out of consciousness. I wrapped the remains of my gown around his body like a sack, leaving free his arms. Putting my arms under his and across his torso, I dragged his unconscious body back to the cave.

“He awakened before I reached the entrance of the cave, but did not have the strength to remove his blindfold. I lied to him about covering his eyes and said it was because of a head wound, and he was too foggy to care. He had received a bad blow to his head. By the looks of the dried blood on his body, he had been on the valley floor for many hours. I could only hope that he would not remember what he had seen.

“Great excitement ensued when I dragged an injured man into the cave from the hidden valley. I was so exhausted that I practically dropped him as soon as I pulled him around the bend from the cave's entrance. Instantly, there were many of my Sisters there to assist in transporting him to our Healing Quarters. There were many healers more qualified than I to care for him now. So why could I not forget him? Why did I find myself following them into the healing area, taking only a short moment to grab a new garment? The healers and I worked through the night to save the man. He had broken both legs and his left arm in three places. His head had been injured very badly. He was bleeding through his nose and tried to throw up even though his stomach was now completely empty. For three days we worked over the man. I was surprised to find that my healing skills had been under-emphasized. Perhaps

this

was the decision. Maybe I was to be a healer rather than an Oracle.

“Later, I realized that I had made a big mistake in staying with the man so long. There is a saying that if you save someone's life, they are beholden to you, but it happened the other way around for me. In becoming so involved in his healing, I created a disease in myself. Because Mikeal was a young, virile man, he healed amazingly quickly. He was the darling of the Healing Quarters, but, unfortunately, he had eyes only for me. I didn't know why he fell so deeply in love with me. He couldn't have known that I was the one who found him until someone told him. His love for me was something with which I did not know how to deal. I had made a decision long ago to dedicate my life to the service of the Mother and the Goddess Pallas Athena. But the love that came from Mikeal's heart was causing me to again doubt my decision. I spent countless hours in front of Pallas Athena's altar in

contemplation.

However, she did not speak to me. I had analyzed and gone over her few words in the valley many times and tried repeatedly to remember my experience in the higher planes with her. To no avail!

“I realized that with every day I was thinking more and more of Mikeal. I began avoiding him, which only caused him to get on his crutches quicker in order to find me. If he had acted like a whipped puppy, I could have gotten over him. However, even balancing on crutches and pursuing me through the caverns inside our cave, he remained dignified and masculine. Finally, one day, he said that he would seek me out no more. If I wanted to see him, I knew where to find him. My heart was breaking as he hobbled away from me, perhaps forever. I wanted to run after him and follow him to the ends of the Earth. But I was strong. Or was I? My work began to suffer. My readings upon the chair became confusing and obscure and my other duties were carried out in a halfhearted manner. At last, the High Priestess called me for a private consultation.

“'My dear Matia, do you think that a community of Oracles cannot see what is happening to you?'

“I looked at her with an ignorance that only one who is lying to themselves can display.

“'Beloved Goddess! Do you not even know what is wrong with you?'

“I shook my head, hoping that the movement would not force my pent up tears to fall upon my face.

“'My Dear,' she spoke, as she gently reached over to touch my hand. ‘You are in love with Mikeal.'

“Hearing the truth that I had kept from myself for so long released the dam of tears. I fell to my knees before the High Priestess sobbing. She allowed me to place my head into her lap and gently stroked my hair while I cried out my pain and confusion.

“Finally, when I could cry no more, I arose again to sit before her.

“'What am I to do?' was all that I could say.

“'Well, I know only that you are no good to us in this condition. Take some time to sort things out in your heart. Remember that the decision you make is one you will have to live with for a very long time, perhaps, for the rest of your life.'

“I nodded and kissed the High Priestess' Ring of Authority.

“'Go now. I will speak with you when you have had some time to ponder your situation. Call to the Goddess, my dear. She knows much of love and will assist you if you allow it.'

“When I left the High Priestess, I knew that I had to talk to Mikeal. I went to my Sleeping Quarters to refresh myself and change my gown. I found Mikeal, not in the Healing Quarters, but in the sunny fields behind them playing with a dog. He looked over at me as the small dog ran after the stick he had thrown. There was no surprise in his face. He knew that I would come to him!

“'This is my dog. He led me to your valley and to you.'

“I rushed to his side to silence him.

“'Please, do not say that. We found you at the edge of the cliffs near our cave.'

“'Why does everyone tell me that?' I have said nothing, as I believe that a lie shared by so many must have a reason. I did not want to get you in trouble. Were you not supposed to be in that valley?'

“'Why do you think that you were in a valley?' I hoped that I could still convince him of our lie.

“'Dearest Matia, I remember the fall. My dog, who has found me again, had run after a small animal and had become trapped on a ledge near the top of the mountain. The climb was steep, but I was in good health, and I set out to rescue him. After I saved him from his predicament, I found that I was in one of my own. There was no way to go down from there so I had to go farther and farther up the cliff in order to return to the base of it. When I finally reached the top of the cliff, I found a beautiful valley on the other side. Unfortunately, I was so enamored with the view that I did not notice the loose shale beneath my feet.

“'The drop was straight down. I did not know if the yell I heard in my ears was my dog or I. I hit the side of the hill several times before I finally passed out. At last, I awoke to find that the morning sun was now high in the sky and that I could not move. I could see the small pond close by, but I was only able to drag myself with my one remaining uninjured limb, to the shade of the bush under which you found me. I lay there, moving in and out of this world, until you came to my rescue. I was not surprised to look into your eyes as you leaned over me. I had been waiting for you the entire day.'

“'What can you mean? I did not know that you were there until the moment that I found you,' I replied, forgetting to continue the lie that my sisters and I had agreed on.

“Mikeal balanced himself on his crutches and, taking his one good arm, held my face in his powerful hand. Looking deep into my eyes, he said, ‘As I lay there on the edge of death, I heard your voice. I am coming. I am coming. You called to me over and over. What a sweet and pure voice, I mused, in my foggy mind and open heart. Only the Goddess herself could speak with such a voice. And then when you found me, you comforted me with that same voice. I did not know if I was in the Other World or this one, but it did not matter. I had found my Beloved.'

“'No, No!' I cried, ‘It was the voice of the Goddess Pallas Athena. She had called me also. It was she whom you heard – not me. She brought me to that pond. She is the one you must love. I am not free. I am a Priestess. I am not to have a man in my life. I have dedicated myself totally to the Goddess.'

“I realized that I was on the verge of hysteria. He put his strong arm around me and pulled me to his side. I leaned on him as he leaned on me.

“'Perhaps it was the Goddess who called me,' he whispered in my ear, ‘but it was your voice that I heard!'

“We walked, leaning against each other, to a small sheltered area underneath a huge tree which I had used many times to find solitude. We leaned against the tree together and gradually slipped down the trunk to the moist soil beneath it. We embraced each other in a love and passion that I had not known until that moment. Every thought left my mind. I don't know how we made love with all of his wounds, but we did. And it was divine. I felt the Goddess within my Soul in a way that I never had before. And he was a God. Our auras blended into one, and, at the climax of our lovemaking, we journeyed off into the Higher Worlds together.

“We awoke with the ground beneath us damp and cold. The Sun had fallen below the horizon. My Sisters would miss me, yet they would know what I had done. The decision that I had been unable to make in my mind was made in my heart. The next morning I went to the High Priestess and told her of my decision. Mikeal would be able to travel within another moon cycle. I would take the time to train others to take my place.***

“The next moon cycle was the most difficult time of my entire life. I was trapped between two worlds. I was not of his world, but I no longer fit in my own. I had told him that he must not share his story with anyone. I told him that the penalty for a man knowing of our valley was death, and that we would both die if they found out that he remembered. I made him swear that he would tell no one. He promised me that he would do nothing to endanger me or endanger that which I held so close to my Soul. I tried to tell myself that I was leaving with him to protect the secret of the valley. But deep down inside, I knew that I was really going with him because I loved him. And soon enough, I knew that I had to leave because I was with child. The passion of our first lovemaking was so strong that an awaiting soul could not miss the opportunity to enter a body created by such love.

“I went about my work as usual. Mikeal and I met only occasionally. For me to be with a man while I was a Priestess would be sacrilege. We did not touch again with our bodies, but our souls were intertwined. I began to hear him talking to me telepathically, and he said that he also heard me. How could a man have such powers?

“Zulia did not speak to me for two weeks, and I realized that I was avoiding her as well. How could I make her understand my feelings? I would not endanger her by telling her that Mikeal remembered the valley. Finally, she found me alone deep in the cave gathering the stored herbs to bring to the Healing Quarters. I could no longer be an Oracle, as my own thinking was too cloudy. Instead, I continued the expansion of my healing knowledge. Perhaps my inner self knew that I would have need for it in my new life. It appeared that our meeting was accidental, as Zulia seemed as surprised as I did. She turned to walk away, but I caught her arm and she turned on me like an angry mother cat.

“'How can you do this?' she cried, with tears in her eyes.

“I found that I had no answer to her question. I didn't know how I could leave or even why I had to, except, of course, for the baby. But even that was not the reason. We knew how to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

“'I only know that I must. I cannot answer your question because I cannot answer my own. There is just something in my heart that is leading me.'

“'I think that the guidance is not coming from your heart!' she retorted, with venom in her words.

“'I know that I have hurt you and abandoned you in a most cruel way. I don't expect that you will ever forgive me, nor will I forgive myself.'

“My words softened her, and she embraced me as we had done since we were children.

“Sobbing in each others arms, she said, ‘Dear Matia, I understand more than you may know. I, too, have known love but have not yet consecrated it.'

“'Zulia, my Sister, when did this happen? I have been so absorbed with myself that I have not been your friend. Have you found it to be as challenging as I have?'

“'I don't know if he loves me in return. His name is Zoran. He works outside our cave assisting the ones who come to the Oracle. Our eyes have met for many months, but I have kept my heart in the lap of the Goddess. But now that you are leaving to follow your love, I am faced with a doubt that I was able to control before. I am sorry that I have neglected you in this time of your need. I, too, have become absorbed in my own problems.'

“I smiled and kissed her warmly. ‘Dear Zulia, we are doing the same thing at the same time, again!'

“We hugged, laughed and talked like girls for hours. What would the High Priestess have thought if she could have seen us? Zulia did not know if she would leave with her man, as she did not even know if he would ask her. But our love for each other was renewed. As we returned to our comradeship, I realized how much I had missed it in the last few weeks. How could I live the rest of my life without seeing her? That was when the sadness overtook me. Perhaps I had made the wrong decision. Perhaps I should stay in the life that I had so loved, rather than venturing out into the unknown.

“Zulia gave me my answer. She was leaving. Zoran had indeed loved her and could no longer stay away from her. However, they were not as lucky as Mikeal and me. They were found in the act of making love in a Sacred Grove. Zulia was expelled from Delphi. At her hearing, I stood next to her and told them all that I, too, had been with a man. We were both expelled from the Order. I was angry, not for myself, but for Zulia. How could they have treated her so unjustly? Why was being with a man such an evil act? Did the Goddess not mate with men? Why then couldn't her Priestesses? All the teachings that I had learned in the innocence of childhood were lost in the passion of adulthood. Zulia and I left on the same day. I was never to see her again.

“I will now move the story of my life forward twenty-one years. My life with Mikeal was beautiful. We had disagreements, of course, the main one being my constant need to remind him of my power. He had not chosen a traditional woman to be his wife. He had chosen a Priestess, and I would not give up my power as easily as I had given up my body. Although, in order to protect his image as a ‘man,' I had to put on an act for those around us, secretly, we were equals. All of our decisions were made together, except for one.

“It was a clear and warm day. We sat, as we had often done, on the huge patio that circled our glorious mountaintop home, having a slow, relaxing meal. We looked out across the ocean, as we had a thousand times, but the contentment that it usually gave me was gone. Life had changed much in the years since I had left Delphi. Now men were allowed to study the way of the Goddess and freely walked the secret valley with the women. I thought often of Delphi. I missed it more and more with each passing day. Perhaps it was because I had lived the life of a mother and wife for many years. I had borne ten children, and seven of them had lived. My last child was a daughter, Zulia, and she was now seven years old. I had named her that because my beloved Sister Zulia had died a year before my final pregnancy. Zoran had mortified her by taking a concubine, and Zulia had thrown herself off a cliff. I had

seen

it all in a dream, but it was not verified for almost a year. Zoran had tried to cover up his grief, but in the end, the guilt was too much for him and he, too, ended his life by taking poison.

“The birth of my last child had almost killed me, or perhaps it was the knowledge of Zulia's death that had done the deed. Either way, I had not been totally well for the last seven years. I had become somewhat of a local healer since I began my new life with my husband, and I used my knowledge and experience upon myself. However, within the last year, my health had taken a turn for the worse. I could still attend to most of my duties, and Mikeal and I still had a loving sexual relationship, but something was missing in my life. It took me much contemplation to realize that what was missing was Delphi. But how could I tell this to Mikeal? Thanks be to the Goddess, he was the one who told me. We had just finished our meal and the servants had cleared the table. We were having wine and watching the sunset. It was as glorious as ever.

“'Even the Sun leaves the sky, as I fear, my Beloved, you must leave me.'

“I was shocked at his perception of my truth. I shouldn't have been. He knew me as well as I knew myself. I turned to him with fear and hope in my eyes. Would he understand?

“'Of course, I understand you,' he answered my thoughts. ‘You miss Delphi. Since Zulia's death you have not been the same, and your health has become increasingly poor. I fear that if I don't lose you to the Goddess, I will lose you to death.'

“I ran to him, and sitting on the ground before him, I threw my head into his lap. “'Oh, my love, could you love me so much as to release me to my destiny?'

“'My dear, I have already lost you. Now, I can either be loving or selfish. I choose now to return to you what you have always given to me—unconditional love. Perhaps in Delphi your health will recover. I read the letter that they sent you inviting your return. Please do not scorn me for invading your privacy, but I needed to know if they would take you before I released you. I have protected you for twenty-one years and I could not allow you to be disappointed. I was the one who first communicated with them, asking if they would allow their Priestesses to return now that they had changed so many rules. My only question is, what will be done with our daughter Zulia?'

“'I will take her with me,' I said, hoping that I had not disclosed that I had also been thinking of returning. ‘Dear Mikeal, they allow men now. You can come with us.'

“'No, dear. That is your life. I have mine here. I will, however, visit you as often as possible. I thank the Goddess for my many years with you. I must stay here to direct our older children and carry on the life that we have created.'

“I know now that he was very concerned for my health. He was right, as usual. I died on my return trip to Delphi. As we climbed the final hill and I saw my beloved cave below, I realized that my life was leaving me. I pulled Zulia to my side. She looked at me with terror in her eyes.

“'It is too late for me, my dearest daughter. I thought that I was bringing myself to this wonderful place, but it is you that the Goddess has called.'

“Zulia put her arms around my neck and sobbed, ‘No, No, Mother. You cannot leave me. I need you to help me.'

“'The Goddess is your mother, dear. She will help you now.'

“With these final words, my Spirit left my body. Below me, I saw my daughter crying over my empty form. I also saw the Goddess behind her. Pallas Athena met with me in Her ethereal body.

“'Thank you for bringing us our next High Priestess,' she said, as she escorted me HOME!â€

“As I turned to follow Pallas Athena, I took a moment to fix my gaze upon my youngest child, Zulia. Pallas Athena had said that she was to be the next High Priestess of Delphi. But now she was a seven-year-old child, and she was crying over my abandoned clay form. But, wait, what was that misty presence I saw comforting her from the ethereal planes. Why it was my dear friend Zulia, but – NO--it was a higher portion my daughter. Then I understood my daughter was indeed the reincarnation of my friend Zulia. I had named her correctly. Now that I was free of the illusion of the physical plane, I remembered that when I was first pregnant, I had gone in my higher body to offer a new life for my friend.

“'She was a suicide and has much karma to pay,†spoke the Council of Twelve. “If you take this Soul into your womb, you may damage your life force. You may even die.'

“'I don't care,' I said. ‘I have had a long and beautiful life. If I must, I can sacrifice it so that Zulia may have another chance. Besides, I am a healer. Perhaps I can heal us both.'

“Well, it looked as though I did heal her. She was a strong, young girl and seemed to have a high destiny, if she could remain true to herself. She would be without a mother from a very young age, such as I had been.

“I then turned to Pallas Athena, 'May I say good bye to my husband and family?'

“'Of course,' was her reply.

“In an instant, I was in Mikeal's and my home. It was the middle of the night, but my beloved husband was not asleep. He was sitting on top of our bed. He saw me instantly and ran to try to embrace my ethereal form.

“'I stayed awake this evening because I knew you would come to me. I knew today, even before the messenger came, that you had died. I banished him from our home before he could finish his message, as if sending him away could bring you back. I have let you down, beloved. Perhaps if I had given more attention to you and less to our estate, your health would not have grown so grave.â€

“He threw himself at my feet and begged my forgiveness. I laid my ethereal form down next to him so that I could wrap myself around him one more time. With my new body of light, I found I was completely flexible and could change my form at will. In fact, my shape molded to his instantly and then I remembered.

“'Why you are the ONE! You are my Divine Complement!'

“I expected surprise from him, but instead he calmly said, “'Love of my life, I have always known that to be true. How will I exist now without you?'

“'Oh, but, my dear, you shall never be without me. I shall live forever in your heart. When your time has come to leave this plane, I will join you again.â€

“For a long moment I merged into his form, and the two of us were one again. Then, I felt a pull on my consciousness, and I knew that I must leave. I drifted above him and left him sobbing on the floor of our room.

“He is strong' whispered Pallas Athena. ‘He will recover. There is much left for him to do.'

“I went then to the beds of each of our other children and bade them good bye. Our two older sons were in the military far from home. Pallas Athena, in her grace, allowed me to visit them as well.

“'Will any of them remember that I said good bye?' I asked.

“'In time,' was her only reply.â€

Beloved children of The Goddess,

I thank you from my heart for allowing me to share my story. I realized after my death that everyone in our community knew me as a healer, and people came from far and wide to receive healing of both the body and mind. For many years, I practiced all that I had learned in Delphi while I carried out the responsibilities of a home and a large family. However, I was unable to recognize that I had not sacrificed my commitment to the Goddess for the sake of being a wife and mother. The reality was that during my time as a wife and mother, I had learned even more about the unconditional love that I had felt from the Goddess Athena during my first initiation. While awaiting my reunion with my beloved Complement, Mikeal, I came to realize that Spirit knows no limitation and the love of the Mother embraces all life.

Both RaHoTep and I feel honored to relate our stories of our Sacred Initiation of Human Love with those who are now creating their own stories and initiations. I leave you now in the hands and hearts of the Arcturians, who are our ancestors and spiritual guides.Matia
