We’re on the land, Mesa Life. A group of women, possibly the same group as for the 2019 Sacred Emergence. It’s a retreat of some sort.
We’ve each been assigned a woman to contemplate and then write 4 assignments for her on 3X5 cards. I am writing cards for Jane. The dream opens on me writing out cards #3 and #4. #3 says to go to the altar to Minerva and to gaze upon her beauty. The altar to Minerva is a mirror with part picture, part 3-D sculpture around an oval where one sees her own face in the mirror, sort of like those tourist photo-op boards people can peep through and take on a persona. Minerva’s dress and wild brown hair, surrounded by vines and plants. Card #4 says to write a description or poem to the beauty of the Minerva you see there. When I go to give these two cards to Jane, she says she doesn’t have the first two. I say I remember giving them to her, but she still doesn’t have them. So then I’m trying to remember what I wrote on them, wracking my brain, until it occurs to me to just write them again from this present moment. So I get still to find the inner guidance I can offer for Jane. The first thing that comes is “I want you to write a list of 100 things you like about yourself.” So that is card #1. At this time I don’t remember what went on the second card. I had to look up who Minerva is. She’s the Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess Athena. "Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, medicine, commerce, handicrafts, poetry, the arts in general, and later, war." from https://www.ancient.eu/Minerva/
