Temples of Isis in the Mediterranean

The world is witnessing a revival of interest in Goddess Isis, the feminine aspect of divinity that has been neglected for so long by patriarchal world religions. 

Isis of Ten Thousand Names was the principal Goddess of the Egyptians. Her worship spread south and west into Africa via the Upper Kingdom, and into the Middle East via the Lower Kingdom. By ___ BC, Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Greeks developed Ptolemaic Egypt. They spread Her worship in Alexandria and even further. 

The Greeks named Egyptian Auset, Isis and her worship in Alexandria inspired Alchemy that eventually spread to secular scholars. It was Isis who taught the alchemical secrets of Hermetic wisdom attributed to Hermes Trismegistus.

When Rome took power, a new cult of worshippers in the Roman Empire spread Her worship throughout Europe. Temples were created in her honor in Libya, Italy, Greece, Spain, France and even London. It is during this period that Isis became identified with all Goddesses, an identification which continues today.

Church in Eze, France named. Eze is names after Isis.

Eze, France

As the Bronze Age Phenicians spread their empire across Europe and into France, they left signs of their worship of Isis along the French RIviera. 

In a small village of Eze, near Nice, The village owes its name to an ancient Isis. It is in her name that the ancient Phoenicians who colonized these lands consecrated their temple.

There is a Church of Assumption of Notre Dame in which Mother Mary and Jesus stand in front of paintings of ankhs. Why are there ankhs in a Christian church? Because the cult of Isis was widespread in the Mediterranean and Eze was once ruled by Italians who continued to worship Isis even after the Pheonicians. Isis is one of the greatest goddesses of Antiquity, an Egyptian ideal of femininity and motherhood. Even the mythical Phoenix is depicted on the coat of arms of Eze along with the saying “Isis Moriendo Renascor” which means, “When dying, I am reborn”.

The magic of Salinas

September 18, 2022 by Zinnia Sophia Leave a Comment

Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterGoogle+Share on LinkedInPin on Pinterest

My favorite beach in Ibiza is Salinas. Why? Because no matter what changes or how many tourists flock to the island, Salinas stays true to the original, bohemian fun-loving spirit of Ibiza. 

This October I return to my Goddess Island and I’m so excited to show you my home away from home and where I come to recharge. Together, we’ll explore Cala Plumas, chill out at Sa Trinxa and enjoy Ibiza’s famous endless summer sunset. 

Salinas is wild and protected as a natural reserve. Phoenicians came here in the 8th century BC and set up their colony in Ibiza. They traded salt from Ibiza, a prized commodity and at the time, was called “white gold”. 

There are a few restaurants dotting the road where travelers come for a bite to eat or a sunset drink. 

But what I love most is the Salinas church. It stands guard in front of the lush expanse of salt flats and bird life where egrets, keels and osprey all graze and feed on the salty marshes. 

The church was built in the late 18oo’s in typical Ibicenco architecture – white walls and a bell tower. It even has a shield of XX and YY even though it was never a part of that kingdom.

After some swimming, lunch, and a little dancing with the DJs at Sa Trinxa, I love to go Cala Plumas where all the coves are.

Cala Plumas

Every year when I come to Ibiza, this is my first stop. I’ve been coming here for twelve years so by now I’m a local and I have a community of friends who welcome me home every season.

The water here is a sea of blue jewels: turquoise, teal, green, aquamarine and emerald. 

You can enjoy sunbathing and some alone time, write in your journal, explore or walk to the tower.

Every single cove is unique. Some have hidden caves while others have been sculpted with love by Ibiza artists. Here’s a very special cove with the most interesting sculpture, which I’m sure to took months to complete.

Another spot I love is a secret Salinas cave. I first came to this cave with Lorenzo and fell in love with her. Her silence and womb-like embrace touched my heart. Being inside her truly feels like being within the womb of the subterranean Mother. There are so many water caves like this Ibiza but I feel like this one knows me and waits for me.

Salinas has numerous coves to play, swim, explore and get lost in, which is what I do! The feeling in Cala Plumas is magical. It’s always serene here and I really feel I’m in a lost, ancient part of the island.

Spain was rich in silver, copper, tin and lead and other resources so it was natural for the Phoenicians to trade and settle here. Ibiza dates back to Neolithic times with evidence of its inhabitants living in its caves and in the Bronze Age, there is abundant evidence of Goddess worship.

Las Damas, Tanit’s priestesses, were found in southern Spain as well as Ibiza because the Phoenicians had established trading posts and towns on the Iberian peninsula probably before 1000 BCE. We know very little about Tanit’s mystery religion and its rituals and rites. The Romans burnt Carthage to the ground, with its libraries and sacred places, and massacred the entire population at the end of the Punic wars in 146 BCE. There was one place in Carthaginian Spain that escaped the destruction, and that was Ibiza.

Natural water temples

Ibiza is rich in natural beauty and the water feels ancient and magical. In Salinas, there’s an abundance of natural temples made from the dance of water and stone over millions of years.

I hope you enjoyed our trip to Salinas. Until next time, keep your heart open and keep traveling.

Ciao from Ibiza!

Sacred Travel – Recovering the lineage of the Lost Goddess

February 3, 2022 by Zinnia Sophia Leave a Comment

Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterGoogle+Share on LinkedInPin on Pinterest

2022 is a Magdalene coded year and I’m on a Grail Quest! Recovering the lineage of the Lost Goddess. 

This summer I’ll be on a pilgrimage to Old Europe and Bronze Age Mediterranean, searching for the lost parts of a puzzle I’m piecing together from Atlantis and the Holy Grail to Mary to Magdalene. I’ll be going to sacred sites to discover the ancient secrets of Kabbalah and the Grail. 

Searching fo mystic Kabbalah culture in Girona – How Spain and Scotland are connected through the Grail 

Girona was once a center of Kabbalah and mysticism with energetic connections to Roslyn chapel (Scotland), Rennes-le-Château (France) and the Temples of Isis (Egypt). Spain has always been a holy land with sacred sites of worship to the Goddess and pilgrimages. 

 

Searching for Tanit in Ibiza –  the evolution of the African-Mediterranean Mother Goddess who is Venus, Inanna, Aphrodite, Persephone 

Tanit comes from the lineage of the Great African Mother Goddess. She is the fully embodied Aphrodite-Persephone and her sacred island is Ibiza, an island of healing, magick, transformation and regeneration.

 

Searching for the Age of Taurus Goddess and her Temple in Malta

Malta and Gozo are the oldest megalithic Goddess temple islands from the Age of Taurus. Gigantia has direct connections with Atalntis and is aligned to the star Sirius. 

 

Searching for lost Atlantis and the Grail in Portugal 

Port-au-Gral means “Through the Grail”. Portugal has recently been connected to Atlantis as well. Portugal is now re-emerging as a land of light. 

 

Ps. Have you put the pieces of the puzzle together yet? 

Spain, Portugal, Malta and Ibiza via Egypt — all have connections to Atlantis and Sirius. They were temples of the Earth womb and regeneration centers for the Galactic Light. Pretty cool, right?

Feminine Awakening June 2023 – Ibiza 

Join us for a 4 day experience with Zinnia on the beautiful Goddess Island of ibiza to awaken your feminine energy, your Shakti and inner Wild Woman. Learn more about this experience here.

 

 

***NEW *** Wild Feminine alchemy (workshop + class series)

A PATH TO SELF-LIBERATION AND INNER TRANSFORMATION

The more you practice self-inquiry and sit with your shadow, you allow all of who you are to be. You feel inner harmony. You sit centered in your power — aware of your thoughts and feelings, but not attached to them.

We begin an inner quest of finding the Dark and Light within us. Once found, you can nurture this loving relationship between the sacred Shakti of your inner being and life-force.

Inner union requires claiming all parts of the self, being responsible for maintaining your alignment and managing your own energy system. But first we must do the work. We must embrace our shadows to find the true gold and treasure as we travel through the darkness of our egoic attachments and ignorance to finally break free from them and liberate ourselves form our shadows. 

 

Wild Feminine alchemy is a body of work I created by living, embodying and researching various healing systems, alchemy systems and wisdom traditions including:

  • Jungian shadow work & psychological integration 
  • Khemetic alchemy / Egyptian mysteries of alchemy
  • Goddess alchemy from the ancient temples and Mystery Schools of Atlantis, Egypt, Eleusis and Delphi
  • Yogic tradition of Shiva and Shakti, marriage of opposites, kundalini awakening and energetic alignment, specifically form Marriage of Spirt by Leslie Temple Thurston.
  • Pleiadian Lightwork and Pleiadian Tantric techniques by Amora Quan Yin.

 

Wild Feminine alchemy – 2 hour workshop  

*book on Eventbrite, info coming soon

  • Learn about the sacred feminine alchemical medicine wheel.

  • We will explore the different sacred feminine archetypes including Dark Feminine /Wild Feminine medicine.

  • Learn about the alchemy of opposites. 

  • And do journaling exercises around pairs of opposites to practice inner alchemy. 

 

 

Willd Feminine shadow work series  – *classes 2 hours each 

*book on Eventbrite, info coming soon

Go deeper with shadow work techniques of inner alchemy. 

  • Continue the learnings from the introductory workshop.

  • Learn about the sacred feminine  alchemical medicine wheel.

  • We will explore the different sacred feminine archetypes.

  • Learn about the alchemy of opposites. 

  • Do journaling exercises around pairs of opposites to practice and build your personal inner alchemy practice. 

  • Release triggers, old stories and emotions you’ve been carrying around and shed attachments to old ego identities that don’t express your true self. 

  • Integration techniques for working through the duality of opposites and discovering the ascended, balanced qualities.

  • Sacred Inner Union – The practice of Sacred Inner Union, ignites our higher potential and allows us to relate to one another in wholeness, not neediness. When our cup is full of purpose and worthiness, we can relate to others who are also fulfilled in this way.

line-of-hearts

DANCE SESSION BREAKDOWN
11 am – 6:30 pm 4 Days June13-16 2023 @ Casa Corazon in Ibiza, Spain

 

Day 1: Invoking Goddess Innana (JOY)

Belly Dance & Flow: Experience your sensuality and create a deep connection with your sacred energies. There is a goddess at the core of your being waiting to come alive and be liberated to love. Find the freedom and fullness of expression that come from embracing yourself and your body through expressive movements, sensual gestures and erotic touch. Dance, love and open into self-discovery. Let the dancer and the romantic unite in you.

Self-Love, Feminine Chanting: Learn how to connect with your heart’s desires, feel intuition in your body and channel divine messages. We will chant to raise Kundalini into your heart.

 

Day 2: Invoking Goddesses Ereshkigal/ Lilith (POWER)

Shakti Flow & Activation: Get connected to your body. You will learn where power comes from in your body. In Shakti Flow, we connect to the ancient healing rhythms of Oriental temple traditions. We will awaken our spiritual power and Kundalini through spontaneous dance, connect to our inner self and have fun. You’ll receive oracular and shamanic transmissions and activations from Zinnia. Expect to feel radiant, revitalized and energized.

Descent of Inanna: The foundation of this dance is the ‘Descent of Inanna/Ishtar’, through the seven gates, and is one of the greatest myths to be revealed to us from the ancient world. The goddess Inanna is unfamiliar with the Mysteries of death and rebirth. She possesses only the virtues of life and fertility and so she seeks entry to the Mysteries.

At each of the seven gates of the underworld she pauses, asking permission to enter. She is challenged there to remove her jewelry, girdles, and royal regalia that bind her spirit to the material world. We reinact this sensual dance and raise our Kundalini through our higher chakras into the crown chakra, the Flower of Life!

 

Day 3:  Invoking Goddess Tanit (REBIRTH)

Wild Woman/Erotic Dancing: Bring your Wild Woman out of hiding. You know her, the one that is sexual, sensual, erotic, exotic, fierce, wild and free. We will awaken her and allow her to share her medicine. You will connect to an ancient and wise part of yourself that you may have lost touch with. Shimmy, shake and let loose the power in your hips!

Rebirth Ceremony: Leave behind what no longer serves you at the gate before you return from the Underworld. Receive your new Self. As we receive from Tanit and her offerings of abundance, we claim our soul gifts and divine worthiness, we claim our beauty and sovereignty as dancers, priestesses and guardians of New Earth arriving in all our magnificence.

 

Day 4:  Initiation Day

Priestess Initiation & Ceremony: We will honor this rite of passage of feminine empowerment and becoming a priestess in the tradition of Venus / Isis/ Inanna / Hathor / Aphrodite. Step into your sacred beauty and power by embodying the codes of Venus and let her supreme wisdom guide your heroine’s journey and magickal transformation into mature, sovereign womanhood.
