July Thunder Moon: Tehom, Goddess of the Deep

The July Full Moon is called the Thunder Moon. During July comes the thunderstorms and rain and leads to the rise of summer in August. A shift in energy happens under this moon as the storms drum the energy of the Earth to the top and the waters influence the intentions of those around. Transformation and change are abound and continuing to sow seeds is encouraged to reap what you sow at harvest. It is the call to motivation and voice of confidence, direction, and luck. The Goddess associated to the Thunder Moon is Tehom, the Goddess of the Deep that transmuted and transformed the voided universe into a splash of colors and wonder.

Tehom is a Judaistic Goddess representing the abyss, primordial chaos, and the deep. In Mesopotamic mythologies, it is believed that the Goddess came before all other deities, meaning Tehom is the one of three original Creatrixes from which matter sprang forth along with the Spirit of Mercies, Sheol. She is the dark matter of the Universe encapsulating all within her boundaries. Where Sheol is the Womb of the Universe, Tehom is the amniotic fluid. She is primordial waters from which all birthed deities emanate and the Supreme All.

Psalm to Tehom

Tehom, Dark Mother of Change
Primordial waters of the abyss
Both deep and vast
The amniotic fluid that encapsulates the universe
Containing the spawned life
Within the womb of Maveth
The matter that vibrates and bonds
Forming all wonders for the eyes to witness

The Supreme Waters 
That was here before any other
She who pushed forth life 
Through the churning bitter waters
Full of starfire and chaos
Exploding into particles of dust
That float throughout the cosmos

Tehom, Goddess of the Deep
Tehom, Goddess of chaotic embrace
Let your waters flow 
And create the river of life
That feeds the Garden's springs
