(a) Filianic Rosary

For your inspiration, the current version of the rosary prayers I use - Filianic at heart, heavily based on the Catholic ones, quite obviously, with minor adjustments, which happens to work for my practice. In many cases, the wording remained intact due to private philosophical understanding. I hope this example proves useful for those seeking to include this beautiful practice.

In the name of the Source, and the Mother, and the Rose Child. Amen.

Our Mother, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Love is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and in the hour of our death. Amen.

As a rule, I finish with a Hail Holy Queen intact:

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Come to the Mother as you are, and She shall guide you in Her ways🥀

okay but the female tummy is the center of the universe and the origin of all life as well as incredibly extremely beautiful. i am just saying. so if you see soft lady tummy and go 'eww' there is undeniably something unwell within you, like something in your brain is busted. i make the rules! sorry!

All will be well, with God’s help (I say in a rosarian, goddess-worship way)

“In the beginning, people prayed to the Creatress of Life, the Mistress of Heaven. At the very dawn of religion, God was a woman. Do you remember“

- When God was a Woman by Merlin Stone

I have always struggled with the idea of god being both all-loving and all-powerful. If she is both, why is there so much suffering that is no one’s fault? Such as childhood cancers? This is something I am still working to understand and learn more about. I’m open to others’ opinions!

Requirements for being a Deanist

I have seen some confusion lately on what beliefs are deanist and which ones arent. I also think Deanism is becoming much too broad of an umbrella term. Deanism has very specific meaning and beliefs that differentiate from other goddess faiths. Very very few religions are truly Deanic, and that’s okay.

For one to be a deanist, you *must* agree on *all* of the following:

1. God is wholly good (omnibenevolent).

2. God is transcendent

3. God is immanent within creation, but doesn’t exist as a physical being. (God is not the universe itself/we do not worship Gaia)

4. God is wholly and exclusively Feminine, in name, form, and pronouns.

5. God exists in and of Herself. She has no consort. One can be a deanist and believe that other gods exist, but they can not be equal to God the Mother.

6. God the Mother is heavenly and Solar.

7. God is all-powerful

8. God is all-knowing

This isn’t meant to disrespect anyone’s beliefs. If you disgrace with these key points, that is quite alright. Do what feels is right in your own heart. Dea is different to different people who worship Her, I only wish to express what makes Deanism “Deanism”.

May She be with you always
