Juno Global Rite – May 1st through May 3rd

I am happy to once again be hosting the Juno Global Prosperity Rote on May 1st.

Of all the rites the Strategic Sorcery community did last year, this was the stand-out that launched bunch of new businesses and projects that yielded significant returns.

The rites are open to anyone in the Strategic Sorcery Course. So if you want a year of tried and tested lessons in practical sorcery AND the opportunity to participate in global rites with hundreds of others in an effort to catalyst your knowledge, power, and success; now is a good time to join the course.

If you have read Financial Sorcery you know that old Jove holds a special place in my spiritual court. He does represent a sort of very male perspective on prosperity though , one that I think should be balanced by his wife/sister – Queen of the Gods – Juno.

WHY MAYDAY?

Why May Day? Because I asked a Peacock. I’m not even kidding about that. Two weeks ago I saw this peacock

So since the Peacock is sacred to Juno I asked if I should hold the Juno rite on Mayday and it turned towards me and said:

This will enable you to take advantage of all the good Spring growth mojo and then, let it grow in June.

So why call upon Juno anyway?

JUNO THE SOVEREIGN

First and foremost we are calling upon Juno because she is a Queen and the patron Goddess of the Roman Empire. Keeping the theme that what we are working for is rulership over our own lives as well as peaceful and prosperous relations within the society we live within she is perfect.

Juno is also not simply the wife of Jupiter, she is his sister as well. If we were talking about humans this would be a big no-no, but in terms of the Gods this shows Juno is equal to Jupiter. She is not dependent upon his wealth or power. Strong independent women are awesome.

JUNO THE MATURE AND POWERFUL

I see too many pagan rites focused on either young maiden figures or ancient crones. Juno is interesting in that she represents Maturity – there is no mistaking that Juno is a WOMAN not a girl – yet she also rules over vital force and youthfulness. The need to carry youthful inquisitiveness, inventiveness, and ingenuity into maturity is definately needed in this fast changing economy. In a world where workers over-50 are the “new unemployables” this power to maintain ones ability to change with the world in a youthful way is more important than ever.

JUNO THE MOTHER AND SAVIOR

Juno Sospita is a savior and warrior. See that spear in her hand? She means business.

In the new apocalypse economy, Juno’s motherly instinct to protect her children can serve you very well. Those that have been finding themselves having hard times, without even the basic structure for Jupiter to work on expanding, may just find a strong ally in Juno.

JUNO THE MARRIAGE GODDESS

Juno is the goddess of marriage, which may not seem relevant to prosperity rites until you consider that the number one cause of marital problems is money and the lack thereof.

JUNO DIGS MONEY AND STABILITY

One of the epithets of Juno is MONETA from which we get the word Money. Roman coins were minted in her temple. She is not only a protectress of people but of funds.

Juno’s oracles frequently issued warnings about fiscal instability. If you are currently unstable in your finances, protecting investments from loss, or concerned about the economic upheavals we are all experiencing there is no better power to call upon.

Can I get an Ave Juno?

JUNO IS NOT HERA

Some people, men mostly, have expressed concern about working with Juno.

SHOULD MEN BE SCARED TO WORK WITH JUNO? Were women scared to work with Jupiter? No. Why would you be scared to work with Juno? Juno is very-much pro-woman, but that does not make her anti-man. If you beat your wife or are working to limit the freedom of women then yes, I think you should avoid working with Juno. If not, you are cool. She will even help you loosen your wife’s girdle….

BUT ISN’T SHE JEALOUS AND VINDICTIVE? You are confusing her with Hera from Greece. They are not the same. Juno and Jove played tricks on each other all the time, but in general they were playful than vengeful. Also, Jupiter is not Zeus. If you were married to Zeus you would probably be jealous and vindictive too.

I hope this sheds some light on Juno and why we are doing a Global Juno Prosperity Rite.

Funny, Jupiter certainly has had his fair share of moments when he was quite jealous and vindictive as well, yet no one ever expressed fear over working with him for this reason. It’s therefore strange to me that people would be afraid of working with Juno for this reason.

That said, this is going to be an excellent right, and, as my first time working it, will be comming along at almost exactly the time I need it most, so I’m really looking forward to it! Abondontia, Concordia, Victoria and Libertas have always come through for me strongly during my Jupoterian workings–I think, specificaly, as a way of balancing Juputer’s strong male energy with their more feminie, and working with Juno for this reason as well will make for a great added counterbalance to my work. Thanks for offering up this rite!

I came to Juno a couple of years ago when I did an exercise visualizing money as a person. I just kept seeing an image of a woman in Roman garb, quick search led me to her Moneta epithet and it’s been adoration ever since. I’ve introduced more than a few women to her, as we struggle to find good role models for feminine money 🙂

Hmm. I agree with most of this actually. The only thing is that I actually work with Hera, and her myth vs her religious reality hold a stark contrast. In general, any deity, spirit, etc can be jealous and vindictive. Any of them. Its like a lot of people see Kwan Yin and think gentle, but she was not so when she literally ripped a shadow thing from me years ago during an out of body experience. Gentle to me, not so much to the not so nice entity.

Hera also has connections with money, but with keeping the money in the family if I recall, as in through genetic or appropriately sanctioned lines. Both Goddesses are Queens of the Gods and as such, can truly do anything or almost so, if they so desire. Whether they will or not is the thing. I don’t think Juno had the connections with death and dying that Hera did, no different than Venus had little to nothing to do with lovers suicide like Aphrodite did. I am curious about how working with Juno would be compared to Hera. While it is true that she is not Hera, I still don’t know why people see Hera and have that fear. Maybe I will find someone that has worked with both goddesses and can chime in some day. I just don’t like it that she still gets the short end of the stick, even when mentioned alongside Juno. Her myths do not match up with how she was seen or what she fully did within religious, devotional, and transactional/petitions in the ancient world. They just don’t. If someone had a negative experience with her that’s one thing, but an all around view of her just being vindictive isn’t fully fair. No one is one dimensional. I just wanted to say that.
