"A Stitch In Time"

Ma Durga "Some things change, sometimes very little. Jenny lives, but she had to leave Giles for both their safety. Giles still tried to kill Angel even though he didn't murder Jenny."

1 Giles finds the rose Jenny left this time.

2 Giles finds Jenny very much alive and nude in his bed. They did make love several times.

3 Giles wakes up to Jenny's note telling why she had to leave.

4 &5 Jenny turns to Devi for help and Devi helps her.

6 Jenny gets lost in the crowd of a Manhattan sidewalk.

7 Giles swings an executioners ax at Angel nearly taking Angel's head. Giles threw a moltov cocktail through the windows of the warehouse. Spike and Drusilla left him to die.

8 Angel holds Giles off while Buffy and Father Ryan come to save Giles and Angel so Buffy can kill him later.

9 Buffy and Father Ryan drag Giles out of the burning warehouse.

10 Buffy: "You were going to kill Angel and then go to New York City to look for Jenny. She doesn't want to be found for both your safety. I can't do this without you. (crying)

Father Ryan: "This is not the way my son. You came to the seminary years ago and wanting to become a priest to show your gentle side. Don't let Angel and Ethan Rayne take that from you."

how music like this makes me feel verges on indescribable. the feeling of so much power and awe but also the feeling of all encompassing safety, determination and surety? there is nothing like it.

जय जय हे महिषासुरमर्दिनि रम्यकपर्दिनि शैलसुते

jaya jaya he mahishasura mardhini ramya kapardhini shaila suthe

Day 1: Messages from Ma Shailaputri (शैलपुत्री)

Ma Shailaputri tells us that obsession with the material world challenges the spiritual, she calls us to go beyond it now. She acts as Sri Chamunda, the protector, and Sri Visyaharam Pada, the destroyer of attachments for us, calling on us to surrender our attachment to the material and to outdated beliefs. She is all around us, enveloping us as the sky does and welcoming us to the crossroads this Navratri. 

Quan Yin the Turquoise Mother:  An old pattern is finally ending. You are to be lifted from your struggle. It is time for relief and release. 

Vaginal Canal: I am open 

The vagina is the connection point between the outer world and the inner world of sensitivity and magic. Enter into the unknown to find your endless potential, and experience bliss and usher in a new life. 

Hekate: I Hekate, shall light your darkest hour. 

Nut: I will connect you with the infinite eternal. 

Mantra of Shailaputri:

ॐ देवी शैलपुत्र्यै नमः॥

Om Devi Shailaputryai Namah॥

Prarthana or Prayer of Shailaputri

वन्दे वाञ्छितलाभाय चन्द्रार्ध कृतशेखराम् ।

वृषारूढाम् शूलधराम् शैलपुत्रीम् यशस्विनीम् ॥

Vande Vanchhitalabhaya Chandrardhakritashekharam।

Vrisharudham Shuladharam Shailaputrim Yashasvinim॥

"I pay my obeisance to Devi Shailaputri, who bestows upon the choicest boons to the devotees. The moon in the crescent form is adorned as the crown on her forehead. She is mounted on the bullock. She holds a trident in her hand. She is Yashasvini."
