I met the Great Mother coming out of the ladies room in the Frankfurt airport over a decade ago.
It was a quick meeting, prompted by a poster of a bridge over the Po river in Turin. Highlighting the temple of Mother Mary which had once been a temple dedicated to the Great Mother. I had just been there, on that bridge, days before in the midst of my time visiting the Temples of Humankind in Damanhur, Italy. So, here I stood. Ladies bumping into me, all of us murmuring ‘excuse me’ in German.
I was transfixed as I received Her message – flooding my system on many levels.
It was beautiful, powerful, and surprising. And then it was over. So, I ran to board my connecting flight and headed home. Never realizing the fullness of the Path I had been invited to walk. Or how my relationship with all that She is would strengthen my capacity to be in the world and with the world.
The myth of the Great Mother travels across the world, appearing in many traditions.
A myth is a story that may or may not be true. It is designed to be considered deeply, rather than be believed. Going beyond culture context, myths offer a path to self expansion. A myth is a transitional metaphorical construct leading one to a more expansive, unified, spiritual truth.
That’s a mouthful, yet it describes my relationship with the Great Mother perfectly.
As Joseph Campbell writes, “It would not be too much to say that myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestations.”
Don’t you just love that? Inexhaustible cosmic energy poured into you.
The Great Mother offers more than a story.
She represents an archetypal pattern of energy that is available to be experienced, much like I received in that airport. Working with archetypal energy allows you to directly receive transmissions without the need for an intermediary. Universal principles encoded and translated easily by your Soul.
You are that landing place.
And working in partnership with the myth of the Great Mother and Her energetic offerings turns out to be quite practical. There are many doorways into this relationship. And you’re invited to explore all of them. After all, you’ll be the one to receive the energetic gifts She offers.
“I am She who Nourishes and Sustains.”
This is the Great Mother’s introduction and Her strong offering. As you drop into that calm Feminine space, you discover your capacity to open, surrender, and receive. The depth of the embrace and developing relationship continues to strengthen over time.
15 years later, I am still being instructed in how to live.
I am aware of a new energetic foundation within me that goes beyond reaching for a myth, engaging a practice, or relating to an external being. Somewhere along the way, almost without me noticing, the Great Mother took up residence within me. A fluid pattern of cosmic light-information that was seeking a home had found one. And I discovered something extraordinary.
Archetypal love is sturdy love.
To engage this first Mother would be enough, yet there are 13 Feminine Mothers just waiting to pour themselves into you. Offering love, support, instruction, and oh so much delicious energy.
I’m excited to begin a new 8 week Transformational Journey with these Mystical Mamas (all details here).
I wonder what will emerge this time around in an intimate virtual setting with other women who are walking their Path of Discovery. I know for myself that this Journey has been life changing and it deepens each time I enter.
I already feel the strength of the energy that is arising. It is vast, still, and beautiful.
Beginning with the Great Mother and the feminine Archangels, you’ll find a way into a deeper foundation and sturdier way of living. We won’t stop there because there is so much more. I hope you feel the call to live the Way of the Feminine, especially in these times of significant and disturbing change. There is a call for the Wise Woman within you to awaken more fully.
So you may walk in this disrupted world with sturdy love, calm wisdom, and clarity of purpose.
I’d love to assist you on this Path and share the many ways you may enter these teachings.
Stillness, Receptivity, and Nourishment are the Feminine Gateways that beckon you. Leading you to live in sync with the harmonious flow of the cosmos. Once you enter this Spiral Path with the Archetypal Feminine, you’re home.
You’ll discover a belonging so beautiful that it naturally melts your resistance to that great love and deep wisdom which wants to emerge through you. I hope you discover the wonder of this invitation for yourself. It is a life changer.
As the Great Mother whispers, “I have so much more to tell you.”
So do the many ladies who have directly experienced their unique partnership with the Mystical Mothers. Don’t just take my word for it, you can read all about In Her Words on my site.
Peace be with you and with all. No exceptions.
Women helping women. Girls helping girls. Fluid genders helping fluid genders. Whatever you wanna call it, people helping people is a great idea. I came across a site where gals posted memories of tiny moment where girlfriends, women, and strangers showed up to help in moments of insecurity. No matter what your gender identification, age, or label of any kind, remember this. Humans helping humans is not only a good idea, it’s in our nature. Be natural. Get inspired by these gal pals.
Learn the one essential skill that allows you to face any challenge with confidence, sturdiness, and inner calm.
More than a technique. It’s a game changer.
In September, I’m returning to the Temples of Humankind in Damanhur, Italy. It feels like an understatement to claim that this is a place of power, mystery, and majesty. Yet, I’ve found this to be true for myself and those I’ve met who’ve traveled within the extraordinary to the Temples and the community of Damanhur.
One cool Spring morning, I stepped on the treadmill at the gym looking forward to walking a few miles. Recovering from an injury, I had to walk at a moderate pace so I had brought my copy of What Is Enlightenment? magazine to explore. I always found something to inspire me within this publication focused upon consciousness, culture, and cosmos.
Stress is a natural experience in life. It’s often viewed as a doorway to disruption of wellbeing, peace of mind, and a clear navigational path in a challenging situation.
I’m a bit of a news hound these days. As one who hasn’t watched a newscast in years, I’m surprising myself. Ordinarily, I wait for the news to come to me. And it does. When something is important for me to know or respond to, I hear about it. Kind friends, clients, my husband, or a random stranger share a soundbite which cues me to look into a situation further. I’ve been very comfortable with this level of engagement for years now.
In the midst of our country’s woes, I’ve got Lucinda Williams singing in my head.
“You can’t rule me
you wanna go and tell me what’s good for me
you wanna tell me what I’m payin’ for
Well, the game is fixed, it’s plain to see
I ain’t playin’ no more”
I drove through a hail storm today. It began gently, offering a musical accompaniment to my journey. Intensifying, the hail noisily demanded my attention.
