Special Saturday Earth-Centered Service: Winter Solstice Celebration, Inanna’s Seven Gates

Embark on an inward journey with Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth and Her sister Ereshkigal, Queen of Shadows, descending into the depths of our own psyche to shed the residue and trappings of our lives which no longer serve us.  Embrace the shadow-self with unconditional love to reconcile our past through the giving and seeking of forgiveness and affirming the natural cycles of death and rebirth.  Find within ourselves the water of life – love and compassion – and arise through its transformative magick.
