Midsummer Matters of the Heart

      Ariadne    

   Mistress of the Labrynth   

June 23 2025

Midsummer is the day where the sun and moon meet on the horizon in sacred union. And so, tonight we attend to the creative spirit that runs deep in our blood, a life force that calls forth new hopes, new dreams and healing union within and without.

Ariadne’s story of heartbreak, recovery and soulful union is awe-inspiring. Her intellect of heart and mind can navigate the most complex of winding labyrinths and find clarity our of chaos and confusion. Thus, Ariadne is Mistress of the Labrynth.

Upon betrayal and abandonment, her suffering heart calls forth new and unseen energies deep where the dolphin songs live. Unbeknownst to her, Dionysus hears her sorrow. She follows the threads of inner and outer wisdom to remember who she is and what brings her life joy and meaning. In the end, this mortal princess becomes divine and births a baby from the Underworld, a generative power given only to Ariadne, Mistress of the Labyrinth.

A simple retelling of the very old Sumerian cultural myth of the Descent of Inanna; Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Once upon a time, there was a Goddess named Inanna. In Sumerian mythology, modern day Iraq, Inanna was responsible for the fertility of plants, animals and of humankind. Because of her journey into the Great Below, Inanna carries the wisdom of the mysteries of death and rebirth.

Over this Easter eve, and the cycle of the Autumn Equinox, where the dark part of the day is lengthening, and the Easter energies of renewal surround us, Inanna’s divine journey into the deep dark of the generative and mysterious Great Below resonates.
