Awaken the Goddess within
The Power of Embodying Divine Archetypes.
In every moment, we hold the potential to embody the divine feminine in all her forms - whether through grace and abundance, wisdom and intuition, or courage and strength. The goddesses of ancient traditions are not distant deities but powerful archetypes, reflecting qualities we can awaken within ourselves.
To connect with these energies is to remember that we are already whole, already sacred. The goddess is not separate from us - she is within, waiting to be recognised.
Goddess Archetypes: A Mirror of Our Own Power
Throughout history, different cultures have honoured the divine feminine in myriad ways, recognising that she takes many forms. Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Durga - three of the most revered goddesses in the Vedic tradition - offer us a powerful framework for self-discovery.
Each represents an aspect of our own essence, and by bringing awareness to these energies, we can consciously invite their qualities into our daily lives.
Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance, reminds us that prosperity is not just material - it is a state of being. She teaches us that when we open ourselves to receiving, we create ease and flow in all areas of life.
Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, speaks to the deep inner knowing that already exists within us. She invites us to trust our intuition, embrace creativity, and honour the voice of truth that guides us forward.
Durga, the goddess of courage and strength, embodies fierce love and determination. She reminds us that we are capable of facing any challenge with grace, resilience, and unwavering self-belief.
A Mantra of Power and Presence
A beautiful way to honour these aspects within is through mantra. One sacred chant, passed down through generations, acknowledges the presence of the goddess within our very hands:
Karaagre vasate Lakshmi.
Karamadhye Saraswati.
Karamoole sthita Gouri.
Mangalam kara darshanam.
This mantra reminds us that at our fingertips dwells Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance. With her blessings, we can create all forms of personal wealth - whether that’s financial, emotional, or spiritual - with ease. In the hollow of our palms sits Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. We literally hold all the insight we need to be successful, balanced, and aligned with our highest truth. At the root of our hands lies Durga (Gouri), the goddess of power and courage. She fills us with strength, vitality, and the energy to take noble action in the world.
The Ritual of Calling in the Goddess
When we practice this mantra, we not only recite sacred words—we also embody their meaning. The simple act of cupping the hands and gazing from fingertips to palms to wrists becomes a daily ritual of self-remembrance.
Lakshmi at the fingertips: What abundance am I inviting into my life today?
Saraswati in the palms: What wisdom do I already hold within me?
Durga at the wrists: Where do I need to stand strong and take courageous action?
By bringing awareness to these energies, we shift our perception—moving through the day with intention, grace, and confidence.
Honouring the Goddess in Everyday Life
The divine feminine is woven into every aspect of existence. She is in the rhythms of nature, in the changing seasons, in the quiet moments of reflection and the bold moments of action. She is the cycle of creation, sustenance, and transformation.
To honour the goddess is to honour ourselves - not as something we need to become, but as something we already are. We can call upon her presence through ritual, movement, mantra, or simply through awareness. The more we attune to her energy, the more we align with the truth of who we are: abundant, wise, and powerful beyond measure.
You are already her. You always have been.
