In Celtic lore, the Goddess of Sovereignty was a shapeshifter—alternately appearing as a gruesome hag or a beautiful maiden. The goddess appeared as a hag typically to test a king or remove him from his throne. As the beautiful maiden, she offered her gifts. A king must face the hag and pass her tests in order to receive the maiden and her love and support.
Although the ancient lore about sovereignty is fascinating, what does all of this have to do with humanity today? Why did Mary Magdalene ask me to return the powerful gift of sovereignty to humanity? Why now when most of us are not destined to rule a clan or a kingdom?
For all of humanity, Mary Magdalene offers the gift of empowerment and self-knowledge. Wherever we have relinquished our personal power, she urges us to claim it back. As the hag, she appears to us when we need to break through barriers that are holding us back or we are acting out of alignment with our Soul’s purpose and blueprint. As the Hag, she tests our strength, courage, and fortitude. As Queen, she moves us into action. As Warrior, she spurs us into battle when we need to fight for what is right. As we learn to go within and heed the stirrings in our heart, she appears as the lovely maiden, bestowing us with the bounty of the land and offers us reward for our efforts. Sovereignty is a feminine attribute, and is granted through right relationship with the Spirit of the land.
Encountering the Goddess of Sovereignty is an initiation into Sovereignty of the Self. She leads us toward wholeness and challenges us to reclaim sovereignty over our lives. And for humanity at this new era of the greatly awaited ascension, the Goddess of Sovereignty is preparing us for an even greater destiny—to take full karmic responsibility for our thoughts, words, and deeds. We are moving out of Earth’s quarantine, a stage that has trapped us in the karmic cycles of life and death; this karmic cycling slows down the impact of our manifestations allowing us to learn from our errors and course-correct. Learning to take full karmic responsibility is critical, because we are moving into an open galactic system where our actions not only impact our own lives and our planet but the 400 plus universes we are connected to.
In essence, sovereignty is about knowing who you and what you truly are, knowing your unique role, contribution, and obligation to our divine mission, and masterfully using the body you came in as a vehicle to deliver those gifts. Sovereignty is truly about being a responsible creative force and conduit between spirit and matter.
