Blue Moon

This evening, New Year's eve, December 31, 2009, we'll have a blue moon.
Contrary to what some believe, there is no real noticeable difference between a Blue moon and a regular moon. The term Blue Moon refers to when there is a second full moon in the same calendar month. In the past, every full moon throughout the year was given a folk name.

"According to some folktales during a full blue moon, the moon was said to have a face and talked to those in its light. Some pagan beliefs hold the second full moon in a calendar month holds the knowledge of the Goddess and contains very powerful three-fold the energy of a regular full moon. Special rites and rituals were held only on a blue moon night.
Sill other traditions believe the different moon phases represent the transition of knowledge within the Goddess. The maiden is represented by the waning moon, the full moon represents the mother goddess and the waxing moon the grandmother goddess or crone. When the blue moon enters the cycle it is said to be the transition of the crone to the divine level of existence or the great transition."

So, while you're celebrating the New Year, take a moment to check out the Blue Moon.
The next Blue Moon won't be around until August of 2012.

Happy New Year!!!

Ooooo! Here's a little music to watch a Blue Moon by....

One Earth.....

Be firm like a rock, deep and serious like the sea.
Think of the Earth as a Mother. This is one Earth.
Don't be divided by thinking of yourself as belonging to different countries.
This is one Earth.

The Goddess Durga

The Hindu Goddess Durga is the incarnation of Devi, the mother/supreme goddess.
Durga's name means "inaccessible or invincible" in Sanskrit.
Durga is depicted as a demon fighting warrior with 10 arms, carrying weapons and riding a lion or a tiger.
She is considered, in this form, tobe the embodiment of feminine and creative engergy, a form of Shakti.
The Goddess Durga came into being when the demon, Mahish, threatened the the existence of all of the gods. Each god contributed something to the creation of Durga.
In the video below, the fabulous Sister Unity, tells the story of the creation of the Goddess Durga and her fight with the demon Mahish.
Enjoy!

Why Goddess of Random Thoughts?...and why ANOTHER blog?

Very simple....I have been using the name Goddess of Random Thoughts for years.
I first used it ...hmm...I forget why I started but I remember choosing that particular title because sometimes my mind and my interests seem to flit back and forth. From one thing to another.
Why Another blog? Yes I do have ...let's see....2 storytelling blogs...a Xanga, a Myspace and a Facebook....so far. Of course, in this day and age that's not terribly surprising and I haven't mentioned the webpage. But for me it's somewhat amazing.
So, why this blog? Because I am always finding things that I want to put up...graphics (love them), videos (youtube is my friend) and then there are those Random Thoughts that I have. Most of my other spaces serve a work like purpose, even the Xanga, sorta....so I figured I needed a spot totally unwork related to just put up anything I wanted.
AND HERE WE ARE!!

So get ready..lol...as if I'm not just talking to myself...no telling what will show up here!

Love, Laughter, Peace and Blessings y'all!
