Nemetona ~ Sacred Space

Your card today is drawn from the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Nemetona ~ Sacred Space' card.  Doreen describes the Goddess, Nemetona in this way:
"About Nemetona (pronounced Nem-uh-TONE-uh):  Nemetona's name means 'sacred grove', because she protected the ancient Celtic ceremonial sites, which were outdoors in sacred groves of trees.  Nemetona continues to watch over sacred sites, especially those connected with nature. She'll help you build your own sacred space, and will assist with medicine wheel or labyrinth ceremonies."
Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Message from Nemetona:  Your sacred space is within you now.  By creating an altar or visiting a sacred site, you connect with the symbols and energy that have been infused with meaning and prayer over the centuries.  Don't take these symbols lightly, for they're powerful indeed.  When you connect with sacred symbols, you help your inner sanctity find a home in the outer world.  You also tap in to the ancient wisdom and spiritual grace of the old ways. Explore spirituality through sacred symbols and sites, and allow your soul to joyfully meander among the various ways available to you to unite with the Divine.  It's not a matter of how you connect, but that you do so frequently."

My message for you today is this:
Some of my dear friends are leaving later this week on a group trip to Ireland, where they will be visiting amazing sacred Celtic ceremonial sites...it is just so awesome that Nemetona presented for them today to let them know that she will be with them on their journey!
I taught an angel course yesterday in Airdrie where the topic of 'sacred space' also came up in a variety of ways throughout the day.  Nemetona is also making herself known today with the message that creating sacred space is an important aspect of any type of spiritual work or desire to make a 'conscious connection' to the Divine.  As Nemetona shared with us in her message above, 'your sacred space is within you now'.  Yesterday in class I led a guided meditation to commune with our Guardian Angels and in that meditation we created our own unique sacred space to consciously interact with our Guardian Angel, with the intention that we can access that space in meditation any time we wish to.  We created an 'internal' sacred space. 
Nemetona is also advising us of the beauty and sanctuary we can experience when we create a sacred space for ourselves in the physical.  Perhaps there is a certain place in nature or on your property that you feel drawn to.  I have the blessing of living in the country and when I am out walking in our coulee, there is a large rock that I often stop to sit on and spend a few moments in quiet reflection...I hadn't realized it until this moment, but that is a sacred space for me, and I thank Nemetona for bringing that understanding to my attention!
Where in nature have you felt drawn to time and time again and when there, you have a beautiful sense of peace?  Nemetona wants you to understand that that place is sacred space for you.  You can also create sacred space in your home...place objects that 'matter' to you in a certain area of your home and designate this area as your sacred space. Lovingly create the space in a way that expresses your desire to honour the Divine, and in so doing, honour yourself!  Ceremony, whatever that means for you personally, is an important aspect of making the Divine connection in a conscious way.  Call upon Nemetona to assist you with constructing your own personal sacred space...to do so will honestly fill you with joy! You may be pleasantly surprised with how your sacred space manifests for you...I know that I was, when I first created my 'special room' downstairs in our home...it seemed that it just 'all came together' in a way that I could not have scripted if I tried!  How will you create sacred space?  Trust in yourself and your guidance, knowing that Nemetona supports you as you create your own unique place of honouring yourself and the Divine.  If you have already created a sacred space for yourself, you are being encouraged to spend time frequently in that space.  Perhaps, as you lovingly spend time there, you will notice changes you would like to make to represent changes that may have happened within you.  We are always evolving and our sacred space can represent that...
Blessed be...
