In the ancient world of the Divine Feminine, or Goddess, often depicted in three aspects: Maiden, mother, and an old woman. We live in a very different world, but it’s worth a look at these three aspects, since they are important stages in a woman’s life – even if they do not cover all that the modern woman. The transition from one stage to another marks a significant and irreversible shift in the nature of our bodies and our women of substance.
Now you may think that all this is similar to the old maxim, “Biology is destiny”, and who wants to be identified that more? Well, yes, it sounds that way – if you also consider these three stages, as the spiritual changes in our lives.
What can the spiritual nature of each phase of the goddess was like?
We can imagine something of this without looking at the Minoan civilization, dating from about 3000 to 1400 BC Minoans lived on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea. Ample archaeological evidence exists for the respect of the society goddess. Frescoes found at Knossos, on Crete city, show plants in vigorous growth around the central image of a female deity. Animals and people are depicted as part of this abundance. These paintings of deference to the generative powers of the earth.
Do you think society with reverence of the Divine Feminine, might have looked like?
Let us imagine that the Minoan women can talk about the phase of the Virgin of the Divine Feminine. Let’s call it Minah.
“Our girls have the potential for the future of our society. They come from the world of spirits, and the grace of our society, their potential, talent and skills, which blossom with our teachings.
“Our girls, as the spring season of the Earth, the hands of the goddess. She graciously gives us the benefit of the Virgin of our society, because it gives us the seeds germinate and flower.
“We have a celebration of our maidens at the full moon just before the spring. Everything comes to our pole of the festival. The girls dance around the pole and weave ribbon banner hanging from the pole.
“Everyone comes to dance, feast and watch the game Bull. On this occasion, our girl’s best athletes perform feats on the back of a bull. Our bulls are trained to work with our athletes. The bull is a sign of masculine principle. Collaboration Athlete girl and the bull shows the creative forces of the Union female and male. For we see that all life is created with the help of man and woman each spring.
“Our daughters are a threat to the mysterious power of creativity. We see women as active creative principle, which we call the Goddess. Our virgins therefore, the one we adore. Our girls carry Lineage of our society, from mother to daughter.
“Well, our girls education. We expect them to contribute their gifts and learning in our culture. They learn Lore of the natural world, rhetoric, music, dance, writing, athletics.
“They learn the joy in the body, and from an early age, they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their sexuality. But we do not look at menarche as the first time a girl becomes important in its own right as a woman. We are celebrating our daughters seminal nature, long before their menarche, as we thank and praise the Mother Earth to seed the power it gives us to reproduce life.
“When our girls come into their menarche experience, as the forces of nature to create a life now belongs to them.”
Imagine a life where all the seasons of the earth and the seasons of women was celebrated – in the year, all members of your society. Do not want to feel happy about the woman?
