Light

 

"I shall carry this light into every place there is." (1:6:21 NCU, Mythos of the Divine Maid 3:21 ECE)
*A note that the verse properly reads 'every place that is'
please forgive the error!

Though this verse might have been better placed at Luciad, this is the beginning of the Daughter's descent: the creation of Her own light that "trembled before the winds of death." It is this light, the Daughter's own light, that She brings down into the darkest regions; the Mother's divine light having been taken from Her. As we move toward the final week of our year, we also move closer and closer to Kala & Hiatus: the final day and the day out of time, two dreadful days that made creation possible.

"And the Maid set Herself apart to pray, and She prayed alone by the running streams and beneath the full moon, until a new light was kindled within Her, which was the pure light of Her own divinity. Yet while the divine light of Her Mother was undying, the light of the Maid trembled before the winds of death.

The daughters of heaven delighted in Her gentle light, saying, “This trembling light is the glory of all the heavens, and more glorious than all the luminaries thereof.” The Maid answered them, saying, “I shall carry this light into every place that is, even into the nethermost regions and the regions of death.” 

 

And they led Her forth and clothed Her in the white robe of the sacrifice." (verses 18-22)
