The Truth About Divine Feminine Energy: A Priestess's Guide to Awakening Your Innate Power
The power you hold within, is worthy of expression, and in a world where the feminine is often vilified, subdued, exploited and abused, NOW is when HER medicine is needed more than ever
Beyond the Veil of Ordinary Existence
In a world that constantly demands productivity, perfection, and linear progress; to say nothing of how it continues to demand that women the world over “behave” in a specific (namely subservient) manner, the Divine Feminine emerges as a revolutionary force of healing, intuition, and profound transformation. She is not a concept to be understood, but an energy to be experienced—a sacred mystery waiting to be unveiled and deeply embodied.
Yet there is so much about HER that’s been muddled over time.
So much that's been lost, misunderstood, and vilified, that many of us don't even know what these two words mean when they come together… "Divine Feminine"
For some, this evokes images of strange women walking naked and barefoot in the forest during a full moon - an image, I admittedly adore precisely because it is so attuned to the wild nature of her essence, and because it is likely to cause fear in the hearts of those who'd rather see a woman in chains, than alive and free, but I digress…
Others hear these words and hear nothing more than New Age "woo" meant to sell something coated in essential oils to the masses (and let's be honest, in some cases, this is exactly what is to be found at the end of the words in our current world).
And yet, many of us hear the words "Divine Feminine" and feel a whole-bodied, whole-being stirring. An undeniable, ancient, relentless, and in many ways, incomprehensible, call that makes us shiver with desire.
I have personally experienced each of these in my own life.
Brought up in a religious household, and having been taught that not only was 'woman' to blame for the downfall of all humanity, but that a woman's responsibility was to remain silent, docile, "good", and "pure", I had a very difficult time relating to the feminine in a positive way.
Not to mention how much more difficult this connection became once I entered pre-adolescence, and suffered much bullying at the hands of other little girls my age.
I didn't get it, this "Sacred Feminine" world, and nor did I care to know it. After all, hadn't I been taught that all things "New Age" were demonic? Hadn't I seen how "sinful" women were, and didn't I need to keep myself "pure" and "chaste" and "good" to please a God whose love could only be attained through self-denial, self-dismissal, and self-deprecation?
Surely, if I was to believe the vile lies this world had to offer regarding women, I'd be lost for good. Salvation tarnished, golden gates barred perpetually, and hell's fiery torture ripe and ready to welcome a heathen like myself into its vile embrace.
I have so much compassion for women the world over who have been taught to fear themselves. Women who've been taught to silence their inner knowing, belittle their worth, and dim their light at every turn, so that they may not cause someone else to stumble, or forget that their place is at the feet of servitude that only comes from self-abnegation in the harshest of forms in this life.
My heart hurts for them, because I was one of them.
It aches, because not enough people are speaking against the constant violence they (we) must endure, and because centuries of hatred, persecution, and enslavement has left our collectives hurting deeply where the “FEMININE” is concerned.
Yes, I was one of them, and I feared the truth I felt in my soul more than anything.
I feared listening, researching, learning, and coming face to face with the truth.
I feared the ‘deprograming’ that would have to take place as I uprooted every single last root of fanatical religiousity and man-made bullshit that had informed the world I grew up in since before I was even born and given a fair chance to choose.
I feared walking out of the Eden they tried to ensnare me with, and I feared more than anything, remaining stuck inside their pretty little cages made of golden promises, and strict guidelines through which I could gain approval, and feel worthy at a time in my life in which, I felt I had no inherent worth or value.
And I share this part of the equation, because I want you to know that I understand the resistance against the “Divine Feminine” better than most. Yet, I also want you to know that these wouds the global feminien subconsoius carries are the very reason we need HER medicine now more than ever.
What's at stake here isn't a new religion, or a watered-down version of spirituality that influencers can post all over their aesthetic social media - though I admit this has become the prevalent trend of late, and yet again, one more reason we need to be having true, real, grounded, nuanced, and fluid conversations around this very important topic. It is our time to heal the feminine, and we can only do that by better understanding what is and isn't a part of her frequency as well as how she shows up in our lives.
What’s at stake, are the voices of the billions of lives that have been told to stay “little, good, pure, quiet, subdued and submissive” over millenia.
Enough is enough, and if we truly wish to see and be a change in this world, I believe that the resonance of the Divine Feminine needs to be better seen, integrated, honored, alivened, and experienced in our lifetime.
As a priestess who has guided countless women through their own sacred journeys, and a woman who’s walked through the underworld time and again in devotion to her internal power after recognizing the reality of the Goddess as expressed through us, I've witnessed first hand how connecting with Divine Feminine energy can transform everything.
This isn't about adding another self-help technique to your arsenal.
This is about remembering who YOU truly are beneath the layers of conditioning, trauma, and societal expectations.
It’s about YOU coming into contact with your GODDESS frequency, and embodyying her so freely, the whole Universe feels, benefits from, and expands your potency for generations to come. - this is how we heal in earnest.
What is Divine Feminine Energy?
So, what is Divine Feminine energy exactly?
Allow me to start by sharing my firm belief that DIVINE FEMININE ENERGY is NOT tied to any kind of gender-based roles we have up to now been told we must adhere to rigidly, or perish.
That is old paradigm crap, and I am here to tell you, this isn’t how it works.
Any human being can feel more attuned to, connected with, and immersed in a resonance field, which is what this energetic field is. This means, a person who identifies as a man, a non-binary human being, or a woman whose heart is most drawn to the Divine Feminine is in connection to their highest self in this aspect, and that is great.
You know that whole “you have to be soft, tender, and nurtuting to be in your feminie” crap so many coaches have bee spewing lately? - Yeah, that’s all crap.
In many ways, this is a revamped version of purity culture and Christian ideals, values and religion-based beliefs under a whole new guise (which is why we have see some people go from one end of the spiritual spectrum, to the other and back again lately, and why the whole “soft girl”, “quiet luxury” thing has become almost synonymous with trad-wife, far-right, red-pill ideology in the most extreme of cases).
It’s important we talk about this, because extremes like these are hurting, diluting, and poluting the truth, the healing, and the power we can find in the medicine of the Sacred and Divine Feminine within.
It’s also an important point of conversation because, I’ll be perfectly honest with you… having been in the online coaching and spiritual spaces for some time now, I’ve come to discover a few hard truths about how this important truth is being packaged and sold that are one hundred percent hurting us all. So allow me to say this…
The Divine Feminine is NOT an aesthetic
She is not a weapon to be utilized for hatred, separation, or dismissal of any people or group of people regardless of gender, race, or even spiritual or religious belief systems
The Divine Feminine is NOT contained with in a certain number of Archetypal forms pre-determined by a man (look, I love Jung, and I have studied his teachings for years, and I also know he wasn’t exactly known for super respecting, understanding, or caring for the women in his life in a way that lets me know he did, in fact get the “big-picture” Archetypal representations of the Divine Feminine, which is why I always refer to Archetypes found within more attuned sources, but I can’t spend too long on that right now – if you want more, let me know and I can create a whole thing later)
And She is not a trend that can be bent to one’s will to sell things
Which, unfortunately is what a lot of people have been doing of late
It’s in-line with all the business coaches have been teaching for years – “People are stupid, you need to make things super easy for them to understand so they will buy from you, so, choose a problem (usually something that is keeping them from some kind of status like lack of money, lack of love, lack of security, lack of status, lack of health, etc.) and tell them how you are going to help them solve that problem by selling them this thing you created and then give them no way to not buy from you” (these are direct quotes and words I have heard in this space for years, no exaggeration needed).
Which, is why you’ll see lots of posts and videos and content being made to sell things like “The soft girl way to make millions without lifting a finger”, or “The dark feminine way to get that man obsessed with you – even if it is a little toxic”, or “The “feminine” way to do business is to manifest, create a billion vision boards and invest in high-ticket items all the time so that Universe sees that, and then sends you people who will also be willing to pay high-ticket from you”
And look, I’m getting on a tangent because I’m a little tired of the way things have been done in this industry for a while and also because I have nothing against getting paid for our sacred work (back in the day, a wise woman, a priestess, a guru, etc. would have been paid with food, or a house, or in many different ways, but yeah, sacred work isn’t meant to be free) however there’s a difference between offering services and exploiting people this way, especially under the guise of something so potent as the Divine Feminine
So, just be mindful of these things when looking for what the Divine Feminine IS.
Now, allow me to get off my soap box for a moment, and tell you more about what IS in line with the Divine Feminine frequency we all hold within.
While the Divine Feminine has many different aspects, representations, and meanings for peoples of many diffrent walks of life and with many different lineages, allow me to share what I have come to see as true reagarding HER.
The Divine Feminine is:
A primordial force of creation and intuition
The darkness that holds all life, potency, and the sacred realm of the in-between
The cyclical rythm of all life, and the ebb and flow of transformation in all her many forms, with all her many felt expressions (so eve when things are painful, the sacred and divine feminine is there to bring life)
The wisdom that flows beneath rational thought
Truth, integrity, loyalty, freedom and unyielding love
She is a sensual liberation that moves freely and without fear
She is valor, fortitude, strenghth, and passion
She is abundance, radiance, and overflow
She is receiving, and giving in equal measure without lack or depletion
She is relentless self-love and a deep sense of self-devotion rooted in knowing your undeniable worth and value
She is intimacy, consistency, safety, and tenderness resting within powerful boundaries meant to keep a sustainable ecosystem of life
A state of being that transcends doing adn attunes to BEING
An intelligent, compassionate presence that nurtures and transforms
A fearsome lioness protecting, providing for, and caring for her pride
A relentlessly wild, untamable and undeniable force capable of transforming the very essence of life as we know it
The heart of true connection, community, and oneness
She is LIFE itself, as seen, felt, experienced and savored in the fullness of each moment and each breath
Bieng in alignment with YOUR feminine energy doesn’t mean that you have to be dainty, quiet, ethereal, soft-spoken, nurturing, etc. Again, these are all ways of speaking about the Divine Feminine energy in a way that does not serve us or align with the frequency in full or at all.
The simple act of choosing YOURSELF, of crowning yourself sovereign of your life, and making a proactive commitment to enter into a sacred, intimate, loving, and proactive relationship with yourself IS being a GODDESS in full.
This dedication to get to know yourself, to understand the depths of your shadow aspects for deeper integration, to reframe the old programing that might have had you “at the effect of” rather than at the helm of your life, the ability to stand in your truth, and speak up for what you believe in, for what you desire, for who you are as a person, all of this is very much in alignment with the Divine Feminine in an embodied format so to speak.
It's not about wearing flowers on your head, or becoming an airy, untethered being of “light and love only”
It’s about living your life to the fullest in full presence, with the commitment to move from a place of power, and personal sovereignty, even when things aren’t going your way, eve when the manifestations aren’t coming and life isn’t feeling all pretty in pink.
The true power of the Goddess and the Divine Feminine reside I the full lived experience of BEING and remaining true to SELF. – It takes strength, it takes power, it takes resilience, and it takes honesty so deeply ingrained, that any radical ownership and radical accountability you take is rooted in something deeper than a mere “I am” statement posted to your mirror.
The realm of the Divine and Sacred Feminine is not for the weak; on the contrary, it is a realm made for the peaceful warriors who are willing, ready and able to show up as queens in their lives, and who know that there is more to receiving than immediacy and ease, but who also know that giving comes from a place of replenishment so deep, there is a never ending flow between both.
There is so much more I wish to share on this subject, but this is pretty long already, so I will put some initial finishing touches here, and make this a series.
Just know, that there is more to all this than we have been taught.
