How does one call on a dark goddess ? You don ’ t . One does not command a dark goddess . She will call you . Your task is to listen , be open to the call and ready to respond by making room in your life to do the challenging work she demands of you .
It will not be easy . You will be called to leave precious things behind , trust your inner vision , change and grow in unanticipated ways , look into the future and step outside the comfort zone of your light worker , high vibe self .
I ’ m inspired to introduce you to one more dark goddess , Hel . Yes , you read that correctly . Her name is Hel , the same as the realm she governs . She is the Norse Goddess of The Underworld . Here ’ s an interesting fact about Hel . She was born half alive and half dead . While most depictions have her divided in half down the center , other tales talk of her being alive from the waist up and dead from the waist down .
Remember what I said earlier about living in those upper chakras ? Hel ’ s gift is detachment and reconnection with the cycle of life . She calls you to integrate your physical and emotional self with your logical mind and infinite spirit .
