Today I will share a traditional puja with you.
The link for the video is below.
I invite you to follow along in your own puja.
A puja is a ritual dedicated to the worship of one’s personal deity.
(ishtadevata) As in all ritual there is a certain set of actions;
(ishtadevata) As in all ritual there is a certain set of actions;
each one designed with a particular focus and effect
in mind. In these Thirty Days with Mary we
are devoting our focus, intent, emotion,senses,
passion and vision to evoke our
spiritual selves and to connect with our
own divinity through our devotion to Mother Mary.
Our devotion and adoration invoke the sacred presence
of Mother Mary into the sacred space and the statue
and altar is blessed by Her Presence.

Through repeated entry into the spiritual realms
we shed the perceptions and projections of the mind
and access a wider vision, a deeper connectedness to
all of life and transpersonal wisdom.
In preparation of the puja I shared a prayer with you.
You may want to use it for the puja to Holy Mary.

Yesterday I shared the preparations and prayers with you.
A puja by a solitary person is different to a group ritual, but the intent
is still to raise the energy and to invoke the sacred presence.
Repeating the mantra or prayer and keeping a rhythm with your
hands or musical instrument, adds to the shamanic state
of trance meditation. You may want to repeat the puja in the days
to come if you do not feel confident at first.
The solitary puja on the video is done by
Kamala Maria Devi, a Flamekeeper in the Temple of Mary.
You will find her on Instagram as @terrykamala and
her retreat house page where she runs sound healing retreats,
is @littlesamadhikaroo.
The mantra to be used is our thirty day mantra
Om Jai Mata Mary Ma
Jai Jai Ma
Prayer :
Hail Queen of Heaven
Hail! Lady of the Angels
Salutation to Three, root and portal
Whence the Light of the world has arisen
Hail Mary
Ave Maria
I am the maiden of the joy
I am song in the wind and rain upon the rocks.
I am fair love and holy hope
and the flight of the dove.
I am earth, betrothed
I am Mystical Rose.
Hail Mary
Ave Maria
I am the Mother of mystery
I hold opposites together
I birth children and sever the cord with my teeth
Those I love I send away to their lives
I am the cauldron of fire and the cup of milk
I am the two-edged sword
Hail Mary
Ave Maria
In me Sophia speak :
I am the marriage of opposites
I am beauty,
right order in creation,
the balance of all being.
I contain all the secrets whose names are beads,
I am the cosmic necklace.
I am the daughter of silence and
I bring forth the word of truth.
I am the serpent and the dove.
I am the soul of the Christ
Hail Mary
Ave Maria
I am the flour and I am the hands
that kneed the dough.
I am the fire and the loaf.
I offer and I am offered.
I eat and am eaten.
I am food for the world and
I am the world.
Hail Mary
Ave Maria
Hail Queen of Heaven,
Hail! Lady of the Angels
Salutation to Thee, root and portal
Whence the Light of the world has arisen
Hail Mary
Ave Maria
