NOTRE DAME & THE DARK GODDESS ~
The Notre Dame Cathedral was once the seat of the greatest of the Druid oracles and the headquarters of Europe’s Arch Druid, and originally the pagan site was dedicated to the Mother Goddess, and known for being a powerful energetic vortex✨
The Druids had an altar in a grotto on the hill where the cathedral now stand, and the main altar was built above the Grotte des Druides. Inside the grotto there was a sacred dolmen that was identified with the ‘Womb of the Earth’. This place was the home of the Goddess long before Christianity arrived, and here a black Madonna was once venerated by the Celts. They perceived the colour black as being healing and regenerative….
A Celtic tribe known as the Parisii settled in the area around 250 BC, and named the area Paris…
In 1163, Druidic head quarters was replaced with a Temple for the Goddess Isis who was venerated as the matriarchal protector of Paris…
The Notre Dame Cathedral also houses a labyrinth that was laid down in the 13th century with a rose centre, and the labyrinth is placed in such a way, that if the West Rose Window (West being the direction of the dead and the Goddess) was ‘folded’ onto the labyrinth ~ the middle of the window would ‘fall’ on the very centre of the labyrinth….
The path of the labyrinth is exactly 666 feet long. 666, according to Barbara Walker (in her book ‘The Woman's Encyclopedia’), was the Goddess Aphrodite’s sacred number. And later, in Christian theology it became a demonic one…
The cathedral's beauty, the sculptures and stained glass tells us stories that are filled with symbolism, and an energy that inspire transformation. Beyond the labyrinth (a path to self realisation made with 11 concentric circles ~ a Master number in numerology), the cathedral itself is full of parallels to chakra symbolism, astrological symbolism, and the Divine Feminine, as well as the sun and moon.
Here is a little walk through the labyrinth https://youtu.be/907clMEQdCA?feature=shared
During the Middle Ages, the Notre Dame was known as a place of healing. The cathedral served as a hospital for the sick affected by various plagues and tended to by doctors, sometimes housing as many as 600 patients...
The sickest patients could stay in a chapel for nights on end until they were completely cured 🕊️
Have you been to visit the Notre Dame? I hope to visit very soon, much love, Lucia ###✨
