Lunar language is emotive, symbolic, primordial imaging as a matrilineal transmission of inclinations. The Feminine Essence and Goddess Mother is contained in the Moon portion of consciousness;
Rather than the creation of emotion, She arrives as the stabiliser of emotion
my fears & self esteem issues, my lack of faith in myself, my self hatred that were embedded deep inside my unconscious started to resurface so intensely for the first time. I need a lot of strength to fix such repulsive deeply ingrained issues. For a past few months, I felt like I need to connect with our divine mother Kali. I feel great comfort just by imagining myself connecting with her, I feel like no one can show me the same amount of affection, protection, care while simultaneously pushing me out of my comfort zone, transforming me, making me face my fears--- I have always longed to be with someone with that kind of energy; protect me, be loving towards me but also force me to face whatever I need to face for my growth, even if that feels terrifying to me, help me build my inner power and strength but I want to be your soft spot too.
I think its finally time. I invite her to accept me as her child & induce her ferociousness, inner strength, true self worth in me.
Women, what does it mean to take care of yourself in alignment with honouring the Goddess?
That means that you celebrate your incredible feminine essence through self-nurturance that is non-competitive, non-harmful and non-violent.
The Shakti vibration always seeks expression through beauty, art, decoration and adornment.
The body of a woman who is in touch with her Divine Spirit will radiate natural beauty and feminine light, and all other accoutrements will be enhancers of this radiance.
If you are in connection with your own Goddess-Self, you will find it easier to repudiate damaging media imagery and ideas of female perfection.
You will come gently into a place of self-love, in which feeding your body the food and beverages it truly needs for spiritual celebration will be a joy, not a battle.
As you prioritise your spiritual development, and harness your inner Divine Feminine Nature, you'll want to bask in your own unique Shakti luminousness, and will cease harsh, negative comparisons with other women which rips at the Soul of Womankind.
The Goddess will guide you to wear colours, scents and fabrics that enhance the expression of your vast inner light.
She will lead you to the cosmetics, toiletries and hair care products that don't harm your body.
She will almost always guide you to get rid of your greying, tired clothes and wear the most beautiful, well-fitting clothes and knickers possible!
You are worth taking exceptional care of, and it is not self-indulgent or superficial to want to honour the Goddess through feeling beautiful on the outside.
Being overly-focused upon 'looks' is only detrimental to a woman when she is empty inside and has not connected to her own inner power and presence.
It is only then that she can become hooked in to the self-esteem-bashing elements of the beauty and fashion industry.
Be disciplined and firm in your own boundaries around this area: if you feel any emotions of lack, 'less than', depleted or not good enough when read women's magazines or go into a certain clothes or make-up store - stop engaging with this energy.
Only engage with words, images and environments that celebrate the Power of the Feminine 💋
Maa Kali: Embracing the Dark Mother in Hindu Mythology
In Hindu mythology, Maa Kali represents the embodiment of feminine power, strength, and compassion. Also known as the Dark Mother, she is often depicted with a fearsome appearance, wearing a garland of skulls and standing over Lord Shiva. In this blog post, we delve into the profound symbolism and significance of Maa Kali, uncovering her mythology, iconography, and spiritual…
The pain of childbirth in a wanted, successful pregnancy is accompanied by a powerful sense of creativity and issues in the joy that a new child, one’s own, is born... Mercy Oduyoye observes...“the chaos and darkness, the screams, sweat, swearing and the piercing cries are given a new quality... A living being in the image of God has emerged.”
Labor and delivery offers a superb metaphor for Sophia-God’s struggle to birth a new people, even a new heaven and a new earth. One biblical text makes this explicit as God says: "...I will cry out like a woman in labor. I will gasp and pant." (Is 42:14)
The loud birthing cries evoke a God who is in hard labor, sweating, pushing with all her might to bring forth justice, the fruit of her love. Intense suffering as an ingredient in intense creative power marks the depth of divine involvement in the process. And it is not over yet; only eschatologically will the delivery take place.
In the course of history, human beings are partners with Holy Wisdom in the birthing process, sharing in the labor of liberating life for a new future. Those who are suffering cry out in pain; but “the cry comes first from God, who is the champion and companion of the oppressed, who promises a new order in which the first shall be last and the last shall be first. The cry goes out to the people of God, compelling them to follow, to work together toward the new age.”
She Who Is by Elizabeth Johnson
I would add that it's not only humans sharing in God's birthing process, but creation in general, as Romans 8:18-23 describes.
The past few days have been the most intense in a long while. I don't think I've been this spiritually beat up in a minute. Lol
The Mother has shown me my deepest pain... And it's been a hard look.
Even as I write these words I'm on the verge of tears. My breath is short and there's a weight on my chest, a lump in my throat. Long held screams, on the verge of busting, circulating like a spiral, expanding outward into a tight space that has long been confined by the limitations of fear and truth. Mother I'm in debt to you.
As I write these words, I am reminded that misery loves chaos, and goes searching for it like a crack addict. I have to be reminded I am not alone in this burning fiend within myself. I have to watch more chaos unfold. If not inflicting it on others, watching it being taken out on strangers. The gag is there are no strangers, I find that in their perceived pain, I'm just inflicting it on myself. I know this because if the hate isnt spread just right. If the inflicted party isn't in just the right amount of pain I see fit. IM FURIOUS!
What a sick joke! What a sick way to be! A one way street to insanity, because we do it all the time to each other, hoping for a "new" feel of relief, and never receiving it. If not physically, or verbally to someone else, then we want to see it on TV in the story lines, or in social media. Mobbing the hated, canceling the party, till they are beat down to nothing, and then even an apology isn't good enough. "You have to hurt harder till you're nothing!" What a sick culture! And we all play a part in it!
Guilt opens like a burning flower in me, smoke filling my lungs, burning my eyes, stopping me from moving forward in any way. Now I am the target too the atrocities within myself. And around and around we go.
You showed me my chaos through others who spread hate and anger, who are DEEPLY hurt and battered. And I feast on it like the last desperate meal I'll ever get, attract it, look for it. Look for things to hate, so I don't have to turn around and see how much I've been hating me....
And thats the truth!
I've taken the time to look at my influences, people I watch and follow. So filled with hatred, steming from a deep sadness, too afraid to speak it. Don't know how to speak it. Ego has them gripped like a beaten, bleeding slave, afraid to show pain, in fear of a worse beating to come. I see myself in them. Watching it is like a sick twisted way to express it through their hate. Getting it off my chest, without dealing with the truth of the matter. I'm sick of it! Although I inflict no pain on others directly, by giving attention to it, I approve the action. Embolden the party to continue their actions, I want no part of it any more!
Now expressing anger and deep sadness is healthy. It serves me no good being bottled up inside, but in a responsible way, in an open way I can express it through words, activities and art. Some hard conversations with the divine. In the bosom of the Mother Goddess, crying, kicking and screaming, lol, I know you'll hear me and soothe me Mother.
I deserve better from this life. I deserve better from me. I want no more part in the cycle of anger hatred and sadness we inflict on each other, but my most importantly ourselves.
Deep honor to the Mother Goddess Kali for this deep soul lesson. Dear Mother, you have my life❤️.
