Do you know your history, sister?
“The mystical woman is the ultimate wild woman.” Sally Lakshmi ThurleyFor 8,000 years, since the beginning of the decimation of the goddess cultures, women have been slowly reduced in power, authority, connection, value and place. “A distinct pattern is discernible from the evidence that has been left by these early civilisations. Stretching from the ancient Indus Valley, right across the mountains of Anatolia, to the islands of the Mediterranean and as far as the topmost island of Orkney in Scotland, what emerges is a series of like-minded civilisations whose temples and graves bear witness to a lifestyle of peace and a veneration for mother nature. Their common belief in the continuous cycle of birth, death and regeneration is personified by their worship of a mother goddess in all her forms: snake, vulture, pregnant woman or moon. Excellence in craftwork, technical skill and exquisite art are some of their legacies, along with a spirit of natural equality. This was not to continue. During the second millennium BC, the last of these early civilisations fell. New power in the form of military might was sweeping across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Warriors had worked out how to prey off the profits of others, ushering in an age when human elitism, ruthlessness and terror had their true beginnings”. (Independent.co.uk)
This cycle of reduction has been changing since the last century. We are beginning to reclaim our political rights, our economic rights, and our domestic rights. We are reclaiming everything in the human reality. This is vital work and it is the precursor to where we are now. Now, we need to reclaim our spiritual power.
