A Woman’s Rite to Descend

The dark, the shadow, Hell, the underword, were once all revered as sacred gateways into the mysteries.

“Hell” was in fact the womb gateway, bringing us into the void of all creation where we could reconnect with Source and rebirth ourselves through the fertile darkness, to shed our layers of no-longer-truth, and emerge more authentically aligned with the truest essence of our nature.

All feminine shamanic spiritual systems knew that one must descend before she could ascend, and that this voyage into the fertile underworld was in fact a doorway into the upperworld of cosmic light.

As our feminine mysteries went into hiding during the inquisitions and patriarchal takeover, over many generations most of us forgot these rites of passage once essential for a woman’s full embodiment as a spiritual and sensual being.

Through the dawn of patriarchy, these ways of nature were lost, forgotten, buried, hidden, and burned on the cross.

Our priestesses became prostitutes, our blood became a curse, our humanity became sinful, and the Earth wisdom ways of Goddess became demonized and feared. Women no longer consciously descended as a magical initiation and avoided the fertile darkness where our power hides.

Which is why so many women find ourselves today, lost on the path of wild awakening, victims of external dark forces while blind to the inner dark sources, not knowing how to cross the thresholds of rebirth, turning against ourselves and demonizing the inner allies that are here to help us awaken, heal, bloom, rise, and graciously die to be reborn again.

Many of us are here to change this pattern and finally break the spells in our lineages that shame our pure primal wild nature, and retrieve the full whole true beauty of woman in both heaven and in hell.

We have arrived at a time in our collective story, when humanity has now descended into the dark abyss of underworld consciousness, into the blackness of the mystery where all is coming un-done to be re-born into a higher state of consciousness, where the feminine reclaims her rightful place on her throne once again.

We can fight this, or we can become Queens of this, ushering humanity home to the wild awakening of which we all belong.

We are midwives for the great changing, and our rebirth depends on each of us retrieving and reclaiming the power that hides in our deep feminine Source.

To facilitate this great turning, it is time for all women to return to the gateway of descent, to reclaim the crown of self empowerment as Queens in service of love, and to re-weave our ancient pathways for our future generations, through the darkness, through the soil, through the womb, through the blood.

Truth can be burned and buried, but it never dies.

It is hidden in our ancient mythologies, in the wisdom of nature, and in our sacred feminine bodies. We can retrieve this knowing for the redemption of our world now.

Everything is already hidden within us.

Let us re-member.
Let us re-birth.

Let us return to our thrones
as Queens of the Underworld
for the well being of all.
