It is said that uncounted ages ago, Tara was a king's daughter who met a great deal of suffering. She made a vow to take rebirth always in a woman's body, and she vowed to find enlightenment to help and heal all sentient beings.

It is also said that for countless ages, Tara has followed this vow. Now it is said that she is a female Buddha, with total capacity to help and heal beings insofar as they will or can accept that help.

Tara is considered to be able to be a shield of the weak and a helper of the simple. But she is also the guide of great mystics. Tara means both Saviouress and Star. She is said to be a guide and protector through the deep realms of Mind. She is also considered to be a guide and instructor of many, many great saints, gurus and lamas.

Apollo was the self-appointed bearer of truth...Apollo symbolizes the duality of the Hellenic spirit :
the urge to ideals, to truth, to beauty, to spirituality and sacredness...he stood for the Grecian
Ideals of purity of spirit, of dedication to helping others, of the bringer of therapeutic music and
song. He represented the healer of mind and body. He was the giver of prophecy,
spokesman for the gods, the inspirer and the inspirational...efforts to bring peace
and happiness to man. sunny

Hello Romana. Do you by chance have a picture of Cerridwen? I recall you say, that when you
go out, you have been known to dress in an India Indian outfit. Are you interested in Eastern
thought,or culture?
