The Deities are - and will always be - special to me. I received all of the
Deity Empowerments from Ole Gabrielsen.
Some of them were gifts wich makes them even more special. It was a
precious adventure. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Of course these jewels are meant to be shared and there is no need for me
to hold on to them.
The Deities will last for ever in this world, they have always been here.
But the way Ole has channeled them makes the energy more accessible
and it is easier to generate the character and energies when a person
wants to use them in healings and everyday events.

Being raised as a witch by my grandmother, I learned how to work with

all sorts of herbs, plants, trees. How to make different kinds of tea for
simple medical purposes. Wich herbs could be used in salads to prevent
sickness or to heal and ease pain.
I watched her make an amazing variety of jams.
When she came over for longer periods of time she slept in a bed placed
next to mine. We shared my room for as long as she wanted to stay at my
parents house. Sometimes her visits were because she had to recover
from being ill. She could gather her strength and take it easy for a while.
I was very young when she was sleeping over. So I had to go to bed early
but tried to stay awake as long as I possibly could. One ear awake and the
other sleeping I always woke up when she entered my room. My heart
filled with love and hunger for ''food'' wich meant knowledge and her
ability to make me feel safe and welcome.

I watched her ''floating'' above the ground, with long grey, almost white
hair. When she saw I was awake, she whispered :
''Don't be scared, it just me going to get some sleep...'' She never scared
me, I thought she was beautiful. This tall white silhouette in a dark night.
Her white nightgown, her skinny apearence and her long, soft white hair
wich during the day was in a tuft.
She then tucked me in and told me short stories about Buddha. About
fairies in the forest. About her life in Indonesia. Her time in Switzerland
when she had to go to college. About the war. About her mother who had
a coven. How she watched the covenmembers do their rituals. Watching
the sceances. Stories about the Moon. What she liked about swimming.
How the recognize karmic events, how to surf on the waves of Love and
Life. We close our eyes and watched the stars come closer until we could
reach out and touch this huge pulsating Ocean of Universal Energy.
When we woke up early, we slipped out of bed and walked barefoot
outside in the garden.
We used to dance till our feet were cold and wet with raindrops and
moist coming out of a warm Earth in the early morning.
Before my parents woke up, we would be back in bed. Long after she
was gone to be with my grandfather again I continued doing this for the
fun and to keep the memories alive.

After my grandfather died she would talk even more then she ever did. I
listened and she listened to me. When I moved out of the house she made
a habit out of it to call me when her favorite program was on and we
watched television ''together''.
She with her eyes on the screen and talking to me about all sorts of things
and me on the other side of the phone with one eye watching my kids and
the other focussed on the screen to see what my grandmother wanted to
show me.

She managed to cultivate a garden so beautiful that even in that kind of

soil she could make a californian tree feel at home in the Netherlands.
When she died the garden died with her and nothing of her Spirit is left
in or around the house. Nobody in the family was interested in her books
about Buddhisme, Hinduism, witchcraft and all sort of interesting
subjects so I took them out of the trash wich was meant to be thrown
away.

I loved her so much, I still do miss her terribly. She promissed to pay me
a visit after she had died, but she never did wich made my heart ache
every now and then. But this night she came in my dream.
I could even smell her and feel her wrinkly skinn. I gave her a kiss and
cried. She hugged me and gently touched the tears on my face. The best
thing that happened to me in years. It made my heart go soft again and it
has cleared my thoughts. I went to the Snow White Garden for a healing
and stayed there all night.

And today I woke up, it is 1-1-2006 and decided to make this short story
to thank my grandmother for everything she told and taught me and put
the Deity manual in pdf. She would have loved this !

On the intenet there can be found plenty of rituals and ways to work with
Deities. None of them made it able for me to feel that the Gods and
Goddesses are alive. Inside of me.
Ole Garielsen was able to feel the power and energy inside and that is
ecxactly what my grandmother could do. Simple but effective ways to
work with energy without complicated rituals and spells. This is to
remember all that I was taught and to thank my granma. It has been about
4 years since she died so it was time for me to cry, to thank her for her
presence and to start teaching like she did.

Celtic Reiki works very well for me. Working with a Grid and the
Ogham Alphabet wich represents all sorts of trees and their spiritual
meaning. Dolphin Reiki has been a very interesting adventure for me.
Flower Essences are very important in my life.
I haven't been able to grow a garden like my grandmother used to do, so I
had to find another way to work with nature and Gaia in my life. Lunar
Light and Solar Light I use very often. The Deities brought me the
greatest gift : they woke up all the burried memories about my
grandmothers teachings and stories. I will not share these stories with
you, but it might be nice to share this pdf and some of you will be able to
awaken the Deities within themselves without even without an
Empowerment.

I started with Rhiannon, because Ole suggested it. After that : Lug, Ra,
Aphrodite.
Ot took me a while to get used to the Deities. Some of them were already
so alive inside of me. I received the Lug Empowerment twice, because I
did not recognize the energy. I am very often in a Lug-mood, so an
energy so dominant - at that time- I just wasm't able to notice it and to
use it.

The Deities are pretty special.

I haven't met people yet who had all the Empowerments like me. I hope
there are people who use them and feel as blessed as I feel.
To receive a deity empowerment, is to become more aligned with that
specific God/Goddess.

It is a 10-15 minute distance attunement session, where your connection

to a chosen God/Goddess/Elemental will be strengthened. This means,
that your ability to work and channel the deity, will become much
stronger.

Anyone can work with the Gods/Goddesses/Elementals without an

empowerment. But receiving an empowerment can make a difference. If
you are sensitive to energies you will most likely notice, that your ability
to connect, work and channel the energy of the deity/deities will be much
improved. For some examples of what you can use the empowerment
for....

Here are some basic examples, which could serve as

inspiration.
 Distance healing

1. See/visualize the name of the person you would like to

heal in one of your hands.
Or see the person as a miniature in your hand.
2. Cup both hands together.
3. Think the name of the deity you would like to use,
example "Kwan Yin". This will start the energy flow and
last for 5-10 minutes. You only have to think the name
once to start the energy flow.
4. Done.

Hands on healing

1. Place your hands on the persons shoulder.

2. Think the name of the deity you would like to use.
This will start the energy flow and last for 5-10 minutes.
3. Done

Mixing Herbs

While mixing herbs, "see"/visualize the name of the

deity you would like to use. You can also use a
property/virtue, like protection, patience etc.

Candles

You can use the same method, when inscribing candles.

Visualize the name of the deity or a property/virtue you
would like to use, while inscribing the candle.
 Charging oils

1. Place a small bottle in front of you.

2. Say mentally or loud: "This oil will now become
infused with the energy of (deity name)."
or
"This oil will now become infused with the property of
(ex protection)."
4. Done
Jewellery

Charge jewellery with the energy of your favourite

patron or with a specific virtue.

How to pass on the Empowerments

Once you have received an empowerment, you are able

to pass it on.

1. Imagine/visualize that you are surrounded by the

energy of the chosen deity and that it is slowly becoming
stronger and strongerthe force field is becoming
brighter and brighter. Do this for 2-5 minutes.
2. Say mentally or loud: "(name) will now receive the
(deity empowerment) the strongest possible the person
can handle."
Or if you are preparing the empowerment in advance:
"(name) will receive the (deity empowerment) at (time)
on (date) in his/her time zone the strongest possible the
person can handle."
3. The empowerment will then start and after around 10-
15 minutes, it will stop.
 Deity Box

This box will be a focus for one or more deities. You can
write notes with healing requests, wishes, things or
situations you would like to have manifested and place it
in the box. You can also place crystals, jewellery, herbs
etc. in it.

1. Find a small box. Could be a cigar box.

2. Write the name (or symbol) of the deity on one or
more of the sides inside the box. While writing it's
important to connect to the deity. Just visualize the name
of the deity, while writing. Writing the name/symbol
alone will only have little effect.
3. The box is ready to use.

Candle Healing

1. Charge a candle with the energy of the Fire Element.

2. Light it and focus on the flame. Imagine that you (or
the person you would like to send healing to) are inside
the flame. Keep this focus and affirm something like:
"All impurities are now dissolved in the flame. I (or
name of person) am now receiving the healing I (he/she)
need for __________." Keep focused for 5-15 minutes or
just until you feel that you are done.
3. Give thanks to the Fire Elemental. Done.
