Return of Goddess Demeter – Deity of Agriculture
Return of Goddess Demeter
By Nancy Oakes
THE GOLD THREAD OF HUMANITY
When we speak of the return of Goddess Demeter, or of Sophia, Mother of the Universe, Wisdom or even the prophesied Second Coming of Jesus, (which has already happened), we are speaking of a spiritual return of an eternal message, a spirit, an eternal sacred energy, that spirit constantly returning manifesting itself into physical beings. This power and courage that is beyond human understanding is evident in those like Mary Magdalene, Hildegard of Bingen, Joan of Ark, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela and a young girl named Malala Yousafzai, living in Swat Valley, Pakistan who had the courage to speak out against the cruelty of the militant Taliban rulers. Connected to a higher power, rising to a higher consciousness, calling on this powerful feminine energy, provided them the courage even in the face of death to stand up to tyranny. The eternal messages of truth are received, although by different genders and centuries apart. Religious, political, and spiritual freedom, is the eternal gold thread that binds humanity together, encoded into our DNA from the gods and goddesses.
GODDESS DEMETER HOLDING THE KEYS TO THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE AND DEATH
Goddess Demeter was the daughter of Zeus and Hera, great granddaughter of Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Earth), Mother Father God, arrived on Earth about 1600 BC. She was known as the personification of the sacred law, holding the keys to the mysteries and the cycles of life and death. She has been called “Corn Mother”, who blesses the harvesters. The Great Thinkers of Greece (demigods), around 427 BC, Plato, Homer, Socrates, etc. described her as blond haired, light eyes and lovely. She was recorded as a powerful Goddess unafraid, a warrior in her own rights. Her image is preserved for humanity in paintings, pieces of art, stone statues, and on walls of great libraries and church all over Europe. Also Goddess Demeter’s assignment with humankind was to teach agriculture, and the planting of grains. Thus she was recognized as the giver of food and grain by man, the gods, goddess, and the demigods (off springs, of the star gods and goddess.)
