Mari is a Basque Goddess. She is one of the few Basque deities that survived Christianity. She is associated with storms, wind, hail and nature. It said she lives underground in a cave and when she rides through the sky you’ll know! Mari is wild and free. She is a powerful natural force that moves through us all. She is ancient and she won’t hesitate to call you out, force you to see your illusions and change your unhealthy strategies. Like the wind she will blow through, creating storms where necessary. When those storms come up, look for the opportunities. Understand that when the wind blows down those branches, it is because they were old, damaged or dead. They needed to be cleared in order to allow for new healthier growth. Hers is a “big picture” wisdom. She does not care for small minds or personal drama. She asks you to redefine yourself and see how you fit into that big picture. There is no time to waste. Learn how to ride those storms and bend with the wind. Learn what it is you need to do and apply yourself to that bigger destiny. Perhaps you are Mari and you need to learn to use your voice to teach others these things. Show them their illusions, initiate them to a higher level of being. But do not get caught up in the drama. Be a force of nature, no judgement, only action.
