Protector of Innocence, protector of sacred purity. Transmission is not uni-directional. Transmission goes in both direction, from the older generation to the younger generation but also from the future into the past.

That moment when you hold the fragility of the child in your mother. That moment when you mother your own mother. That moment where you can hold your own parents sadness.

Our dead ancestors need us more than we know. We are the ones who are breathing. It is only in us that they can atone, heal and remembered.

Only as you are still alive and breathing can the action of healing happen. Spiritual warrior vows is to clean the pain of all the ancestors living in me.

Sacred birth, sacred form. The sacred mother/daughter bond.
