The Shadow of the Maiden Archetype

Image
  The shadow of the maiden archetype is often the woman who grew up with the ultimate honorable and protective masculine role models. She had a very strong sense of external protection in childhood.  Often very feminine in her energy, Soft, receptive, nurturing, warm.  Yet, still a little girl in the comfort of her role models protection.  She is simply naive.  Cut off from her own inner instincts.  She buried her natural inner instincts within her shadow in childhood at the comfort zone of external protection and safety. They lay dormant. Without her natural instincts, her intuition is offline.  She often views the world with rose tinted glasses and through lens of her childhood masculine protective role models.  She is naive to the real world and what monsters humans can be. She cannot fathom that there are sadistically disordered individuals out there. She's never experienced it nor seen it. She's always been protected. Always felt safe in all ...

Born Again Heathen

Image
  Many years ago, I was dying. I wasn't ready to leave earth yet My sweet little boy needed his Mama  My heart was shattering for him  I searched everywhere for god.  Calling out.  Crying out. Nothing. I felt utterly abandoned.  I was called to the wilderness  I sat in solitude  My soul left my body and was lifted to the heavens. While I was simultaneously anchored down into Gaia Spirit filled me with its presence  God wasn't something to be found God was already here Right in front of me.  And all around me. Within me In the forest, sun, moon, the stars, the trees, the crisp air, blowing winds and clouds, the purifying waters, steams and rivers, blazing fires, in the earth and dark soil, the morning dew, in the mountains, canyons and rock formations, in the mist and fog, the plant kingdom and in the souls of our dear animal kin. Within.  The ancient soul memories revived  A sacred fire ignited within my heart The bond with Gai...

The Never-ending Search for Healing and Lack of Integration

Image
  Sometimes we need to put the brakes on our journey and stop trying to heal and seeking more shadow work and inner alchemy. We don't always need more healing, but to embrace where we are, embody the healed aspects and reclaim the rediscovered gifts, and integrate them into our being This is a pattern that many healers or alchemists whom practice radical self honesty and accountability often get trapped in.  I myself, am guilty of it.  Self-accountability can backfire and trap you into old patterns.  We can get so stuck on seeking deep inner shadow work and self accountability, that we bypass our gifts and revert back to seeing the healed aspects of ourselves, through a distorted perception To the point of taking self-accountability that doesn't belong to us and seeing trauma within where it doesn't exist, and believing that these healed aspects or even our gifts are something that needs more healing  It will create the same cycles we had once created through th...

The Dark Feminine as the Veiled Liberator

Image
  The Dark Feminine is very often confused with aggression, the shadow, wounded feminine and masculine energy. She is the liberator of the deep feminine.  She is the Magnum Opus  She is the crone.  The wise woman.  The healer. The shamaness.  The sorceress. The alchemist.  The high priestess  She is life, death and rebirth.  She ignites chaos within the soil of the underworld that contains both light and dark aspects. She is the hall of mirrors  She unearths the hidden, rejected and disowned aspects in the feminine shadow and all that which has been buried under wounds, traumas, repressed emotions, conditioning and ancestral trauma.  She is the burning flame that uproots all that needs to be alchemized and activates age old ancestral wounding lurking in the womb to purge lifetimes of density.  The Dark Feminine breaks you down to your very core, slaying through all that is false and dismantling Illusions and programs that don't...
