The Mythology
Amaterasu (pronounced a-ma-te-ra-tsoo) Omi Kami is the Shinto Sun Goddess of Japan. Whe insulted by her crude brother, Susano-o, the Storm God, she withdrew into a cave and refused to come out. Distressed by the withdrawal of the sun, Uzume, the Shaman-Goddess, did a comical bawdy dance to entertain the Gods and Goddesses and to provoke Amaterasu's curiosity. When Amaterasu opened her door to peek, she was dazzledy by her own beauty, reflected to her in a mirror the Gods and Goddesses had installed, and came out.
The Lessons of this Goddess
Amaterasu is here to tell you to bask in the radiance of your own beauty. Do you know your unique beauty or do you feel you can't be beautiful because you don't look like a model or movie star? Are you in your crone years and feel that age is ugly? Perhaps you are afraid to express your beauty, afraid that you will attract unwanted energies. The Goddess says that all women possess the light of the Feminine and that light is beauty. She advises you to let go of your preconceptions about what beauty is and allow your beauty to be. Wholeness is nurtured when we celebrate all our aspects and being female means that we are beautiful!
