SISTER, PRIESTESS MARIA MONTANO OF THE "HEART OF THE THRONE"
TEMPLE, WHICH IS A BRANCH SANCTUARY OF ISIS MOON TEMPLE.
Lost? ---
Just when you think your world is secure
A loved one you cherish, right through to the core
Reveals something shocking, you barely believe
What is this deception, an intricate weave?
You think yourself fooled, or did you not see?
Is it true that you see what you want things to be?
Are you so wrapped up in your own little dreams,
That life all around you is not what it seems?
Then who is to blame, as the onion is peeled?
Did you have courage to see truth be revealed?
What made you hold on to this chosen creation?
A desperate attempt, for your own elation?
We tend to see life the way that we choose
And flock close to those who fit in our shoes
Who is to judge what another may be?
When we are the ones who mold what we see.
So does this relationship just come to an end?
Or do you select a way to amend,
Your own expectation, your personal views
Created for comfort, though surely askew.
Forced to adhere to the obvious truth,
Now free of denial Ö a tooth for a tooth.
There are no mistakes, as this is what is,
Your loved one reminds you, reality lives.
Like yin and yang, itís cause and effect,
Through one another, the dance will perfect.
Ours lives interspersing for days, months or years,
Designed to entwine for purposes clear.
We are where we should be, our loved ones selected,
Whether traits good or bad, none are neglected.
This is the way that Spirit intended,
To train us for Heaven when this life is ended. --- By Maria M.
The Family I Choose ---
When my time has come to leave our sweet Earth,
My memories stay with me, all things since my birth.
But always outstanding, are those select few,
My real friends, my family, with you I got through.
No matter our parents, or siblings in life,
With differences common, we often find strife.
We go with the flow, but always we think,
Our friends are the ones that keep us unique.
Those people like us, those who we flock to,
Keep us safe and secure, to ourselves tried and true.
A shoulder to lean on, a pat on the back,
A simple I love you, to fill a large gap.
Faithful and loving, and true through the ages,
Together we travel through each of lifeís stages.
Sharing trials and hard lessons that existence has taught,
Weíre enlightened with wisdom, it's not all for naught.
My friends, you're my family, it will always be so.
You are the ones who make my life glow.
You make my life happy: ups, downs, and all through,
It's always my pleasure to be here with you. --- By Maria M.
We Are All One ---
If there is form, there is matter, you see
and within this pure matter, you find energy.
Inside of the energy, as we all know,
is Lifeís natural force, propelling it so.
And in the whole of All Life, thereís also no doubt,
Spirit is present both inside and out.
Whether dirt, stone or tree, mountainside or sea,
the planets, All Life, and of course, Diety,
Each part of the whole, shining white-light all through,
all vehicles of Spirit, doing what each must do.
Together we stand, linked every which way,
living our futures, with each passing day.
Its cause and effect, and to ride trouble free,
stay on the path -- be the best you can be.
Moving this world, a lifeforce of power,
reminds us each day with each passing hour,
how love, pure and simple creates harmony --
When good is intent, the gift is times three. --- By Maria M.
BORN OF TRUE HEART ---
When seed meets egg within the womb,
and signs of life begin to bloom,
Creation knows, with perfect sense,
the heart, born first, takes precedence.
Central to the system, the hand that feeds the rest,
it pumps the flow of life, our very source of zest.
But most importantly, it's where our love is stored,
and in beginning stages, its pure right from the core.
The center of our being, designed with perfect love,
a pure untainted gift, from Spirit up above,
emitting trust and happiness, it sends the message clear,
and to each cell engraves a goodness, and all that we hold dear.
And so we're born with what we need to live a healthy life
and must remember who we are, through the hardship and the strife.
Remaining true to all our gifts, to treasure all their worth,
is a gift right back to Spirit for all we got at birth. --- By Maria M.
THE FIVE POINTS ---
Our world is divided into four points of due course
With each Element of Nature, their realms in full force
Beginning with East, then South, West and North
Lie traits held by each, displayed and brought forth
The direction of East brings the Element of Air
All knowledge and thought, energy of mind is found there
Aquarius, Gemini and Libra abide
And the color of blue, as the winds touch the sky
The Element of Fire, at South is its quarter
Ruling healing and life, will and passion its daughter
Aries and Leo, Sagittarius group near
And the color is red, with the flame burning here
At West we find water, the Element clear
Fertility, love, and emotions held dear
Where Pisces and Cancer and Scorpio adhere
They look to our Moon, as She gently does steer
At North is the hearth, and love of our Earth
Creation and growth, our home and our birth
Planting gifts in the garden to enjoy all their worth
Are Taurus and Virgo and Capricorn's mirth
Most important of all, lies Spirit above
Providing all things, bearing fruits of Her love
With Her God and All Spirit, our holy receptacle
In the guise of all life, lies the five-pointed pentacle --- By Maria M.
LUCID DREAMS ---
A powerful way to see those who have passed
And nearly as good as when seeing them last
A purposeful meeting for two parties who seek
A glorious union, a shared time most unique
Make no mistake, the intent is quite clear
That parting of ways for those we endear
To share with and touch our loved ones once more
This blessing is reserved for the ones we adore
This passage exists though it is carefully veiled
And enter only those few who are truly entailed
Those committed believers of the eternal ether
Slip easily through and have good times together
This gift that connects our world to the next
Where the innards of souls are put to the test
For time to be shared with those not in plain view
Is an earned act of faith by the initiated few. By Maria M.
THE BEGINNING ---
When the world was brand new, in Ancient Egypt long past
As the mound rose from the waters, creation was cast
This first sign of Spirit, in a form of the Sun
Brought forth primal beings, and life had begun
From Him Air was born, with it Moisture came too
Through them they made Sky and the Earth as their due
Then Earth loving Sky could not keep away
Sky's womb became filled on that precious new day
The act was committed without the Sun God's consent
So he seized all the days, so this birth he'd prevent
But Lord Thoth to the rescue, he played his cards right
And won days from Lord Khonsu, the Moon of the night
For the year had now added five days to the rest
The Sky Goddess praised Him for passing the test
With the Heavens and Earth, free to bring life anew
They brought forth five Dietys, and order ensued
The first born of Nut, our Goddess of the Sky
Was Lord God Asar, great king by and by
And the very next day, Lord Heru had come
He took His place with Lord Ra, the God of the Sun
Tearing through came Lord Set, and chaos his sign
Next came Aset, Our Mother Goddess Divine
Then twin sister Nephthys, last from the womb
Known fondly to be: the Dark Side of the Moon
King Asar, Queen Aset, and their crucial bloodline
Both born to be rulers, they made our world shine
Joined at the heart, and inseparable from birth
Divine Mother and Father of all people on Earth---By Maria M.
THE ART OF CONTENTMENT ---
The way to find peace and a calm state of mind
and to maintain composure all of the time,
to attract all that is good - from love and good health
to success in endeavors that will provide wealth:
Just remember our beginnings, the Source of Creation!
And acknowledge this Force as our very foundation
This massive Divine Energy used its very own core
as the internal design for all life that it bore
As a great mighty tree grows its branches and leaves
though diverse in its parts, it's all one family
Our inherited roots make our Source certain kin --
The same tools for our welfare are synonymous within
As we go with this flow, we mimic our Source
and we become open channels encouraging this Force
As the vehicle becomes likened to Spirit above
Our wishes are granted with unconditional love
To be aligned with the intent of Spirit, when all is told
"As our Source is, so are we" is the message to behold
Understand it and apply it to everyday life
and assistance is limitless, as results will suffice - By Maria M.
FOLLOW YOUR HEART ---
Be loyal to what you feel inside
Listen and trust, follow through with due pride
Your destiny was in place from your birth that first day
Take joy in your journey, each step of the way
Dare to be different, though others may mock
There are no set rules as you climb to the top
Despite pressure from others, do what you must do
Go outside of the box, know your drum beats for you
Do not be dissuaded by the choice of another
Proceed on your path, for it is unique to no other
Trust your own instincts, harm none in your quest
Let your own power guide you to do what is best
Do your personal duty and work toward that goal
Fulfill that desire -- your higher purpose is sole
Be your own person, be true to yourself
Let your heart guide you to your own inner wealth - By Maria M.
LIVING THE LAWS OF THE SPIRIT ---
In an ancient renowned culture of a legendary time
lived ancestors immortal, their ideals all most sublime
In a land of natural resources, abundant in their size
They started an historic legacy, the Laws of Spirit in their guise
At times referred to as Kemet, and Tamara for a while
Best known as Ancient Egypt, and the home of the mighty Nile
It was on this desert ground, that Spirituality was known first
and where both God and Goddess brought their laws upon this earth
Each Deity in the Whole, with their unique qualities insistent
encompassed diverse powers, all specific and consistent
As they shared a higher purpose, complementary to one another
they modeled for mankind, their sacred philosophy like no other
Well known was the Great Goddess Isis, Her glory most prevalent
Relied upon and admired, for the love and the care that She sent
Healing and magickal Mother, with great power She sought to invoke
synchronicity among all people, to inspire shared love, truth and hope
With this simplified basic system, a great nation had been created
As the Gods were their faithful guides, people grew confident and elated
Together they lived in harmony, and were engrossed in a primary goal:
That they would strive toward peace and order, as Spirit had foretold
Crime was non-existent, so punishment was nil
The people lived in unison, with devotion of sheer will
Pleasing the primal Deities revealed their hearts content
and to honor their ancient origins, they praised with good intent
At the Temples they would worship, with ritual and prayer
and offered gifts of sweet libation to reflect their tender care
In thanks for Holy guidance and the abundance of all life
their heritage would stay sacred ñ and among them bear no strife
This ancient civilization spanned over thousands of years
and the land had prospered immensely, as they held it so very dear
As well known and vastly treasured in all countries of our world
Deity was first born here, as were earliest roots that are shared by all - By Maria M.
THE SUBTLE KITTY ---
Most times a surprise, as they come unexpected
afoot in your path, and you are elected
Poor unfortunate kitty, so cold and neglected . . .
But make no mistake, you were surely selected
It takes only one to transform your whole world
as they lay quietly purring, wrapped round in a curl
Tender sweet angels, with eyes big and bright,
fluffy and cuddly, your warmth through the night
It is then that their magic subtly plays a true part
and before you will know it, their home is your heart
As they gaze at you sweetly, tears of joy start to well
and like a hypnotic trance, you are lost in their spell
So now you are hooked, you never dreamed it'd be so
you think of your baby wherever you go
Are they warm, are they hungry, are they waiting for me?
Their needs and their company -- clearly priority
Your life now revolves round this cute furry ball
Your kitty now thinks, Hey, I've got it all!
It's then that the tide turns, it's you who needs them
As they grow and get older, this cat's at the helm
Once cat food they loved, they now walk away from
What other brands do you stock in that closet of fun?
When you are home, it's lap-naps all day
and when you retire, now they look to play
So you think to yourself, my cat needs a friend
a buddy with whom they will bond to the end
You have all of your cat's best interests at heart
though your wish for another surely plays a big part
Yes one is a blessing, and two twice the bliss
as they cleverly learn their appeal just can't miss
It is they who own you, common knowledge ensues
but companions for life, that love you won't lose - By Maria M.
FURRY LOVE ---
Whether just one or two, or some multi-dwellers
No home is complete without one of these fellows
Adopted or rescued, some bought or found
Their extraordinary love is uniquely profound
In dogs you have always a friend in your life
Whether hardship prevails with certain cruel strife
Right at your side is their faithful place
To protect and to guard or to fill empty space
So like little children, it's all fun and play
They manage to brighten each part of your day
Loyal and true, steadfast to the end
A hug to your heart when it's on the mend
So good and so sweet right through to the core
They help you to open your every door
Much wiser than most in all their short years
A commitment to life's simple rules they adhere
Shedding love and pure light ... and some fur to boot
Your care is their job and they follow suit
Requiring little, they expect no return
As their room and their board are extremely well earned
Yes, a pup is most happy when you are well pleased
Your hug and your smile is all that they need
To know that they too have a part of your love
In return for their gifts sent from Heaven above - By Maria M.
MYSTICAL SEDONA ---
In a peaceful, special place in northeastern Arizona
lie extraordinary red rocks in the heart of Sedona
These incredible huge mountains ooze a spiritual glow
in direct correlation with the vortex below
A vortex is a center with a vast powerful force
of intense massive energy flowing through with due course
Ley lines form the system that the current travels through
as an underground matrix housing the force that ensues
In the midst of this influence, our psyches are stirred
Higher goals and positive changes are known to occur
Witness psychic experiences, and dreams that come true
or small miracles and healing, as are commonly viewed
Sit atop Boynton Canyon or take a hike at Bell Rock
See the clear speckled crystal in the ground as you walk
Breathe the clean vibrant air, feel the winds through your hair
Share vast sacred space with Hopi Indians praying there
This place will absorb you and heighten your senses
Your visions become clear as inspiration commences
Most vortexes are minor, and only two others are key:
Near Bermuda, the Triangle, and in England, Glastonbury --- By Maria M.
MOTHER GODDESS DIVINE ---
Though one primal God, from Creation was sent,
In a form of the Sun, as the old story went,
He placed Sky and Moon, the Earth and its facets,
And witnessed like-Spirits, contributing their assets.
As people were born, through a tear from His Eye,
Five Entities were birthed, as the Earth met the Sky,
And two rightly chosen, who would take to the Throne,
A King and Great Queen ñ as ISIS, best known.
She was born of great love, and the heart of a Mother,
Showing harmony and contentment become one with each other,
Her compassion for others was utmost evident,
And all goodness would follow, wherever She went.
The Triple Goddess is She, the blessed Trinity,
Three phases of woman, simultaneously,
Both Maiden, and Mother (or virgin and wife),
Complete with the Crone, elder wise-woman of life.
Her guise is Moon Goddess, and the Moon follows Her lead,
With phases consistent with a woman's monthly deed,
As it mimics Our Goddess, in Her number of three,
A full moon between two crescents - Triple Moon, symbolically
With a bright shining crescent, the New moon is born,
and enter the Maiden, Her innocent beauty adorned,
As the Full moon develops, with the month's move to midway,
The Mother takes hold, Her magickal gifts on display.
The moon at its fullest, now starts its descent,
And wanes as the last days of the month are now spent,
A sliver in the shape of an opposite crescent,
The end of the cycle, and The Crone is now present.
Triple Goddess, Triple Moon ñ She is one in the same,
Sharing feminine traits the Creator has made,
From beginning to end, regenerating new birth,
The Moon, Our Goddess, the Mother of Earth. --- By Maria M.
BIBLICAL FALLACY ---
With great special powers and called the "Almighty"
Sits a man on a cloud ruling daily and nightly
He makes his own laws for all to abide
And will punish the ones who dare stray from his side
His name simply God, a sole miracle-maker
A white-bearded man with no powers forsaken
He credits himself for all of creation
And demands crowning glory which fuels his elation
He is separate from others, a tyrannical king
As he marks all the people with "original" sin
Unworthy of goodness, they have no love within
And with no faith in themselves, a pre-destined no-win
Never escaping their nature, they are set up to fail
Only he is the savior, only his holy grail
As they are ever unworthy, praise of him is foremost
They must beg for forgiveness or face hell fire's roast
This ridiculous fantasy was created by man
Those proclaimed to be rulers, the kings of the land
Devised to control their subjects, their prey
A god they did fashion, who would be much like they
To suit their own whims they enforced their keen laws
Dismissing and excusing their own hidden flaws
Hypocritical tyrants, not strange to brute force
A "holy" book they constructed with quotes of their choice
Their government is one with this "religious" farce
The powerful rich set to rule, in this republican part
With rules ever changing, prejudiced in their views
Their god is themselves, and they bid Spirit adieu ---By Maria M.
Miracles ---
How did they do it, how did they know?
That pure will of a thought can manifest itself so
From Great Ancient Egypt and down through the ages
We see them as psychics, wise mystics and sages
This magick's no secret and it is open to all,
is accomplished quite naturally, and without crystal balls
But to get to the place where this power is shared
of the Creator's compassion one must be aware
Of this love that is spoken, it is not mere affection
romantic involvement, procreation or perfection
It is greater than all that most can conceive
practiced only by the few who intentionally perceive
To let go of the ego, all judgment and blame
and conjure total acceptance, patience without gain
To lend gifts of assistance without expecting return
To practice nice versus right as a priority concern
It is only then that the power begins to unfold
as the thought of the self diminishes into the Whole
Knowing one is just miniscule, among all of creation
though sole performance is reckoned, as are all in relation
To put all of your trust and faith into Spirit
with honest love and true gratitude to properly seal it
Then see your heart's wishes, as the outcome would be
and leave the workings to Spirit, to evolve genuinely - By Maria M.
