A woman’s path of feminine power

When Sophia descends to the void, it is there that She discovers Her creative capacity to birth life. It is there, down in the darkness, that She discovers Her power.

In ancient India, power has long been known as shakti. As the feminine principle, shakti is all that exists. Shakti is not only the matter of our bodies and of our planet, but also the pulse of life that animates all form.

Shakti is One, and yet Her expressions are endless.

She is the waxing and waning light of the moon. The ripe fruit that bears heavy on branches and rots upon the ground. The crashing ocean waves and the flow of the river. She is birth, She is life, She is death. She is creation and destruction. She is nectar and She is blood.

She is the body and the soul of nature.

And yet, for thousands of years we have learned that some parts of Her total whole expression are distasteful, demonic, sinful, and separate from God. We have learned to fragment, hide, reject, reform, and refuse essential aspects of our own nature and to divorce ourselves from our wholeness in order to marry the patriarchy.

By consequence, we have denied ourselves our own power.

Contrary to what our cultural and religious doctrines have imposed upon humanity, true power is holy. True power is nature. True power is life. And this power is inherently feminine, for it is from the void, the Earth, and the womb of a woman, that all of life begins and ends.

A woman’s path of feminine power, is a journey of re-membering shakti, Goddess, nature, through every facet, feeling, emotion, expression, desire, and intuition that a woman already knows, but may have learned to deny herself through the ages.

As she meets with every face of the feminine nature within her own self, including and particularly the faces that initially appear foreign, she becomes whole again. It is this very wholeness that opens her access to the Source of power within her: Life.

Eventually, she comes to realize that her own power, life, all facets of herself, is the very medicine that heals not only herself, but a wounded world.

She remembers that she is and has always been the Holy Grail.

This is our journey in Whole Woman Mystery School, as we apprentice ourselves to nine faces of the feminine nature that reunify Body and Soul, Gaia and Sophia, and we reclaim every facet of ourselves as the power of Life.

This is a woman’s path of feminine power.

We are the Holy Grail.
