In Memoriam: Shekhinah Mountainwater

Shekhinah Mountainwater passed over at 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time August 11. Many women became acquainted with Shekhinah--and the Goddess--through her workbook, Ariadne's Thread.

Shekhinah, Sower of Dreams,
Shekhinah, Dreamer of Songs,
Thread your way home.
Sweet Shekhinah,
Strong Shekhinah,
Teacher of teachers,
Priestess to priestesses:
Rest now
in the arms of our Goddess
and be renewed.

Blessed Be.

Prayers for Shekhinah Mountainwater

I have learned through Lunaea Weatherstone that a dear Goddess sister and beloved teacher, priestess and author, Shekhinah Mountainwater , has experienced a worsening of the cancer about which she blogged several months ago. Shekhinah is being cared for by caregivers including hospice workers; close friends and family are visiting her. Late this week, priestesses Z Budapest and Leilani visited Shekhinah. Lunaea writes :

Z anointed Shekhinah with Indian rose oil that had been blessed by Amma. She laid a wreath of laurel over Shekhinah's head briefly, as a symbol of her heroism, and then improvised a beautiful song of blessing and release, while the other women in the room hummed and added their energy. The presence of the Goddess was strong, and Shekhinah was alert and taking it all in.

Deepest prayers, blessings, and thanks to Shekhinah for a Goddess-lived life, and for helping so many sisters discover and explore the Goddess path.
