After Odysseus had successfully completed Penelope’s task, he finally reveals himself to her and the suitors. The suitors realize who they have been mocking and are fearful. Athena approaches Odysseus and with her by his side a full battle takes place, where Odysseus shoots down the suitors one by one. After the battle, the home is cleansed and all traces of corruption are wiped clean, leaving Odysseus’s home once again clean and safe. Tonight, we finally remove our mask as we face our own inner demons and vanquish them from our thoughts.
Working Method: Guided Meditation
Place your mask upon your face once again, and know that this will be the last time you will need to hide. Take a deep breath and feel your body relax. Breathe in, and out. And again. Let the mists roll in from the corners of your vision, encompassing the space around you. Breathe in, feeling the coolness around you, and breathe out, blowing the mists away. Standing before you are those inner darknesses that you wish didn’t exist. The self doubt and hurtful words. The anger and animosity. All the things you wish you could change are standing strong before you, but they do not know you. Standing in this space, know that you are not alone, for Athena stands once more by your side.
Hail, Athena, wise one, guide and guardian. You’ve stood by our side as we walked this journey. Great teacher, I ask that you extend your hand to us. Guide our hands with your own. Guide our minds with your wisdom. Wrap your cloak about us and guard us with your shield. Let our will be strong. Let our hearts be mighty. Protect us from the darkness and help us fight to find the light.
Breathe in, feeling the strength of Athena flow into your lungs, filling your body with her light, breathe out and feel all the self doubt expelled. When you’re ready, remove your mask. Feel Athena’s hands upon your own as you reach for the bow at your side. Feel her sight within your eyes as you aim. Feel her power within you as you release and strike true, blowing down demon after demon until you once again stand alone with her.
Take a deep breath and let the calm settle upon you. Know that you are safe and protected. Even when life is hard, you can push through. Breathe in the positive energy. Breathe out the anxiety and pain. Breathe in the blessings of wisdom and strength. Breathe out the darkness and self doubt. When you’re once again ready, open your eyes.
