ASL Charge of the Goddess

Category: Mama Kelly's Musings, Pagan Video Tues, Wicca & Paganism | Written by Mama Kelly

Yes its that time again – Pagan Video Tuesday. One of the things about me that you might not know is that I have been fascinated by and drawn to ASL (american sign language) since grade school. It probably began when I got my first pair of glasses and the doctor told me I was legally blind without them, a phrase my 9 year old mind took to mean “going blind” though I was too scared to ask anybody to clarify.

This fear led me to discover Helen Keller (who is still one of my heroes) and to read books on her, her teacher Annie Sullivan, and even Louis Braille. I also tried to try and teach myself both braille and sign language. I have retained a few words and phrases in the later and still hope to one day take a course in it and learn to speak it more “fluently.”

I came across this video over 2 years ago at Deaf Pagan Crossroads and thought you might enjoy it as much as I did.

“Listen to the words of the Great Mother, she who of old was also called Artemis, Astarte, Athena, Diana, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Cybelle, Arianrhod, Isis, Dana, Bride, and by many other names…” – Charge of the Goddess
