Women Rising

“In Irish and Scottish mythology, the Cailleach is the divine hag, the Old Woman of the World, the creator-goddess of the land…She is the geotectonic power of the land itself, who gives shape to the Earth throughout all its ages. Stories tell of how she constructed enormous mounds, megaliths and towers in a single night. Like the natural world over which she presides, she renews herself constantly: each year in spring, or every hundred years, by bathing in a certain body of water, depending on the story…
In Scotland, she is known as Beira, Queen of Winter, a fearsome character with white hair, a dark blue face, rust-coloured teeth, and a single eye in the middle of her forehead. She created the mountains; they formed when, striding in giant steps across the land, she accidentally dropped rocks from her creel. In some stories she is said to have built the mountains intentionally, pouring them from her apron to serve as her stepping stones as she walked; in others she created rivers and lochs, and carried a hammer which she used to shape the hills and valleys. She leapt from hilltop to hilltop followed by herds of deer and families of wild pigs; sometimes she rode a wolf. She is a wilderness spirit who protects wild animals; she is a seasonal deity too, the elemental power of storms and of winter…
In Ireland…as folklorist Gearóid Ó Crualaoich declares in his extensive study of Cailleach traditions, she personifies the ‘proactive, female creativity and power . . . seen, in Irish ancestral culture, to be the major source from which emerges both the general form of the physical universe and the security and wellbeing of the social order in times of stress.'”

Eve

”“Why has the Christian tradition persisted in reading the story of Adam and Eve in ways that are to women’s detriment: misogyny, sexism, the fear that women really are powerful so they must be kept down?” asks Bird. Over the years, as my relationship to religion has changed and my belief in a Christian god has dissipated, I’ve found myself wondering about Eve.

She strikes me as a character deserving of so much more depth, a curious and rebellious young woman who was willing to test her place in the world in order to dream of a better one. Even in paradise, she knew something was being kept from her, and she was willing to break the illusion of satisfaction in complacency. It was ingrained in me that my painful periods were her fault, but I wonder if my desire for liberation from a heteronormative, white patriarchy didn’t also start with her. Eventually, I gained an understanding about what happened to me in my room with the pastor’s son. It was painful, but being able to name and condemn that behavior was so much more freeing than living with an untruthful story. Naming our monsters means questioning our place in their world. Patriarchy leads us to believe the men at the top can save us, but that’s an illusion meant to keep us underneath them. The men at the top, the patriarchs in the sky, they aren’t coming to set us free. It’s the snakes, the fruit, the trees, and each other that will.”

Profiling : NPD Scan Their targets

Narcissists scan you, study you when they initially meet you (even if you are born to a narcissistic parent) , then they reflect back behaviours that are everything you want to see in them to establish a relationship from the beginning!! … don’t be fooled that this will ever be a genuine relationship (it won’t be) .. narcissists are reading you like a book, scanning you so they take taking full advantage of your empathic/caring/humanitarian/kind personality type.. right from the very start of meeting you… ‘What many people fail to understand is that the narcissist abusive behaviour is intentional, sadistic, they are pathological predator and pre-meditated. When the narcissist begins manipulating and gaslighting your reality, that means they are implementing everything they studied about you initially when the relationship began to begin the covert destruction of your life under the radar of everyone else’s awareness inclusive of you, their unsuspecting victim … psychological, physical, financial, emotional and sexual abuse (lovebombing) will be delivered under the ‘guise of love’!!!
Eventually when a victim becomes aware they are dealing with a narcissist, a pathological predator inside their relationship.. it comes as a shock to learn just how dangerous this person you thought loved you actually is!!! The only way to escape narcissistic abuse is to get away safely from them and go #NoContact with them … #NoContact must be kept as a permanent self protective measure to keep invested in for the long term rest of your life!!

Surrender

The feminine cannot, will not surrender
To the wounded masculine …

A man who criticizes her
Belittles
Dishonours
Controls
Manipulates
Abuses
Or attacks her

Her own inner masculine will not allow it
He will rise fiercely to the forefront
To stand guard
To do the job himself

The feminine can and will only surrender
To the divine masculine …

A man who is devoted to her
Elevates
Honours
Cherishes
Supports
And protects her

A man with boundaries
Presence
Direction
Integrity
Accountability
And humility

In this space
She will feel him penetrating her very essence…

Her body
Her mind
Her heart
Her soul

And she will feel safe …
Safe enough to surrender

This is the natural law
This is the dance of healed polarities

This is surrender …
To love
