The Siren’s Song – Ancient Oracles, and
When Women Sing the World Back Into Harmony
with
Vyana Reynolds
Music by Vibhoda
The sirens were a tribe of “bird women” who only spoke theTruth. That was their allure. When they did so, it was in song, making the Truth particularly powerful, much like Hawaiian chanting can create reality and open us to miracles. Like the Sirens, the oracles of ancient times offered the Truth for thousands of years for those who sought it.
One of the biggest challenges our world faces today is determining what is real. How do we know what is true when we’ve lost faith in the “news,” politicians and the AI potential for deep fake videos. If theSirens sang the Truth, would we recognize it or would we reject whatever doesn’t fit into our world view or pre-established opinions?
However, the medieval church did not approve of the Truth being available through individual and independent gnosis, since only priests and popes could offer that. So, the symbol of the Siren lost her bird wings and was given a body of a snake to suggest a relationship to Satan. In the end, Sirens became confused with mermaids since they looked similar.
I believe that the imbalance of power --the veneration of the masculine over the feminine -- is one cause of our current predicament as a species on this planet. So, how might we rise to the occasion? We must have access to the Truth and sing it out loud. I'm talking about the kind of Truth that bubbles up from inside, a gift from the Divine – gnosis, when we are clear channels.
How can we use the stories of sirens, mermaids and oracles to open ourselves to a deeper knowing, and bring our species back into harmony?
Vyana Reynolds is a mystical mermaid collecting and weaving tales of adventure and mystery from around the world. By mapping their global appearances throughout history, we can begin to discover mermaid patterns and symbolism. She dives deep into the mermaid realms to find pearls of wisdom and bring them back, hopeful that humanity will remember its true beauty, insight, and sovereignty.
Vyana embodies the archetype of the mermaid in order to break free of the limiting constraints that humanity has taught her about our connection to nature, the Divine feminine, and the magic that we all carry. She also offers “Mythic Makeovers” to assist those who desire to step more fully into their magical Selves.
Growing up near the fairy-filled rainforests and the deep cold waters of Puget Sound (near Seattle), Vyana allows the fresh air of innovation and visionary possibilities to inform her books and art. Moving to the warm waters of Hawai’i in 2016 and swimming with wild dolphins while wearing a mermaid tail through coral reefs has taught her to play again.
Her passion to understand the human condition led her to study anthropology, travel extensively, and live abroad in Okinawa, France, India, China, Istanbul and now Hawai’i. For the last 15 years, she has embodied various archetypes of the Divine feminine as a Temple Pillar of the 13 Moon Mystery School. She values an open heart.
Her demonstrated mastery of Watsu, a form of aquatic body work, is informed by a past lifetime as a bathing priestess at the Oracle of Delphi. Trained in this lifetime by the Emerald Temple in the application of sacred essential oils for full-body anointing, Vyana honors her healing lineage.
Like all mermaids, she bridges two worlds. As an attorney, she empowers her California clients to write their end-of-life documents transmitting their wisdom into the future even after they’re no longer with us in the physical form. This 25-year “death meditation” has greatly impacted her approach to life.
She also founded the Phoenix Rising Empowerment Project which uses personal story telling as its core healing method for those who have experienced sexual harassment or violence. She understands why mermaids often remain hidden and offers a “transformative justice” approach as a path to greater freedom.
