Mommy Goddess Part 3: Mother Mary

Who is to say that Mother Mary is more comforting to those who believe in her today than Isis was to the millions who prayed to her for comfort centuries ago, or any of the other Mother Goddesses were (or continue to be) to their worshippers through the ages.  But whatever your beliefs, whom ever you pray to when you need a little solace, there’s no denying that the Beatles had the right idea:

Let it Be —

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be —

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,

there will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,

there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, …..

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,

shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, …..

And yes, in Orthodox images, she wears adornments—jewels on her veil, at her collar, and around her wrists—

Hail Mary, full of grace . . . in asking for her blessings, perhaps we take on some of her gentleness—
