You have to be brave to talk out loud about your inner wisdom, your Wild Soul, the divine feminine, your soul-to-soul work, your spirit guide, spiritual board members, your psychic and mediumship abilities, your Inner Wisdom Challenge and Women’s Down & Dirty Spirituality School.
Yes, even in the 21st century, some dismiss you from their logical-analytical, misogynistic, and/or patriarchal towers. Women included can collude with misogyny and the patriarchy too.
I get it! Some women work in male-dominated industries where the only way to get on is to join the club or, just to survive in a patriarchal culture, they swallow it whole. Personally, I’d rather slit my throat.
As Madeline Albright, the first woman US Secretary of State, once said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help women.’
And I’m talking about woman’s language not being helped. A language that’s existed throughout the ages despite the undermining, disvaluing, and even successful murder of her.
I’m aware now that I’m all over the place, ranting and raging. So I stop, breathe deeply and close my eyes to summon inner wisdom.
W T F am I going on about?
The first thing I get is that the fight’s in me. Born in 1948, I was spoon-fed male dominance and not valuing anything female.
OK only if it was the flashing of eye-lashes to attract a male or women’s magazines that urged you to have his dinner and a relaxing environment ready for when he got home after his hard day at the work coal-face. Never mind yours!
And now I cry for my conditioned self at 19 who, abandoned, lost, and alone with no guidance, knew there had to be more but was disconnected from woman’s language. So she succumbed to the ‘way things get done around here’ in order to feed herself and her baby son.
At that time I really could have slit my throat, albeit not for unconsciously allowing the patriarchy to manipulate me! And I thank the divine feminine for my son who kept me alive as I could not abandon him as we had been abandoned.
There was also that X factor in me, my wonderful Wild Soul, which determined both of us would survive to fight another day, however long it took us to reach that particular day.
So, yes, it is brave of me to talk about womanly things that others might poo-poo. Including the now very tiny part of me who was trained by and can collude with the patriarchy! But, do you know what? These days my anger about it all, that passion, only spurs me on to speak out.
For, if only one woman is prompted by what I say to find her own Wild Soul and discover who she is, where she’s going, and what she came here to do, then my life will have been glorious and well-lived.
What say you?
Love and wild warm wishes…
You are perfect imperfection
A divine light that yearns to shine.
So shine, woman, shine!
PS… No bullshit or beat about the bush. Do you want to meet your own Wild Soul so you can reconnect with the woman’s language that makes you feel happy to be alive? That energizes and delights you with how it can make your ordinary day into something special. If so, as numbers are limited, give me your name now for my May Inner Wisdom 3-day Challenge waitlist.
