And yet this mystery takes place within her.
Books on the divine feminine how to#
A woman does not consciously know how to bring the light of a soul into her womb and help it to form a body. If the knowledge of the sacred feminine has been lost how can we know what to do? Part of the wisdom of the feminine is to wait, to listen, to be receptive. Without the participation of the divine feminine nothing new can be born. A world that is not connected to its soul cannot heal. We may combat global warming and pollution with scientific plans. If we choose the latter we may attempt some surface solutions with new technology. Can we remember the wholeness that is within us, the wholeness that unites spirit and matter? Or will we continue walking down this road that has abandoned the divine feminine, that has cut women off from their sacred power and knowledge? If we choose the former we can begin to reclaim the world, not with masculine plans, but with the wisdom of the feminine, the wisdom that belongs to life itself. Without the intercession of the divine feminine we will remain in this physical and spiritual wasteland we have created, passing on to our children a diseased and desecrated world. And then we can begin the work of welcoming her back, of reconnecting with the divine that is at the core of creation, and learning once again how to work with the sacred principles of life. We cannot reclaim the past, but we can witness a world without her presence, a world which we exploit for greed and power, which we rape and pollute without real concern. The days of the priestesses, their temples and ceremonies are over, and because the wisdom of the feminine was not written down but transmitted orally (logos is a masculine principle), this sacred knowledge is lost.
In our contemporary culture we cannot understand how a deeper mystery was enacted, one that consciously connected life to its source in the inner worlds, a source that held the wholeness of life as an embodiment of the divine, allowing the wonder of the divine to be present in every moment. We may think that their fertility rites and other ceremonies belonged only to the need for procreation or a successful harvest. We have denied life its sacred source of meaning and divine purpose, which was understood by the ancient priestesses. In denying the feminine her sacred power and purpose we have impoverished life in ways we do not understand. The same sacred source that gave birth to each of us is needed to give meaning to our life, to nourish it with what is real, and to reveal to us the mystery, the divine purpose to being alive.īecause humanity has a central function in the whole of creation, what we deny to ourself we deny to all of life. We cut our world off from the source that alone can heal, nourish and transform it. We separate life from its sacred core, from the matrix that nourishes all of creation. When we deny the divine mystery of the feminine we also deny something fundamental to life. What we do not realize is that this patriarchal denial affects not only every woman, but also life itself. Our culture’s focus on a disembodied, transcendent God has left women bereft, denying them the sacredness of this simple mystery of divine love. And yet we have forgotten, or been denied, the depths of this mystery, of how the divine light of the soul creates a body in the womb of a woman, and how the mother shares in this wonder, giving her own blood, her own body, to what will be born. She can conceive and give birth, participate in the greatest mystery of bringing a soul into life. Out of the substance of her very being life comes forth. This truth is something profound and elemental, and every woman knows it in the cells of her body, in her instinctual depths. Reclaiming the Feminine Mystery of Creationįor in the beginning, when God said, "Let it be!"Īnd it came to pass, the means and the Matrix of creation was Love,īecause all creation was formed through Her as in the twinkling of an eye.
