Who is the Medicine Woman?
Whether recently or very very very long ago, we all come from lineages of people who lived in sacred reciprocity with the Earth, cycled with the seasons of nature, shed and rebirthed with the phases of the womb, and knew their bodies and souls in harmonic relation with all of existence.
All ancient shamanic cultures and womb religions across the world understood this cyclical process of death and rebirth and it was central to their way of life. Following the rhythms of nature, they witnessed the waxes and wanes of the moon, the shedding and regenerating of the menstrual blood, the cold dark winters blooming again into Spring. They supported and prepared young people through their initiations, rites of passages, and vision quests, to deeply embrace and understand their own natural cycles and to trust the thresholds that bring us into deeper soul embodiment and truth.
Many of us were born into a time when that wisdom has long been forgotten, hidden, burned, diminished, demonized, and desecrated through a very long cycle of feminine oppression. And yet, we feel it calling to us through our yearning to reconnect with the wild pulse of life, with the rhythms of creation, the dance of our sexual expression, and to remember the feminine face of God as nature, as Goddess, and as woman.
As our collective body of humanity has now entered into a catastrophic rebirth, where we will literally create a New Earth through the rise of feminine consciousness, many of us are learning how to reattune ourselves to these rhythms of nature within our physical and emotional bodies. Those of us who feel called to not only heal the deep feminine within ourselves but to be wayshowers, lighthouses, beacons, midwives, soul doulas, priestesses, and healers for the collective, are answering the call of the Medicine Woman.
Do you feel the longing to re-member, retrieve, reclaim, share, deepen, express, and celebrate this Medicine Woman within you?
