SEARCH FOR THE DIVINE FEMININE "Ancient moon priestesses were called virgins. 'Virgin' meant not married, not belonging to a man - a woman who was 'one-in-herself. The very word derives from a Latin root meaning strength, force, skill; and was later applied to men: virile. Ishtar, Diana, Astarte, Isis were all all called virgin, which did not refer to sexual chastity, but feminine independence. And all great culture heroes of the past, mythic or historic, were said to be born of virgin mothers: Marduk, Gilgamesh, Buddha, Osiris, Dionysus, Genghis Khan, Jesus - they were all affirmed as sons of the Great Mother, of the Original One, their worldly power deriving from her. When the Hebrews used the word, and in the original Aramaic, it meant 'maiden' or 'young woman', with no connotations to sexual chastity. It is later on that Christian translators distorted the meaning into sexually pure, chaste, never touched - because they could not conceive of the 'Virgin Mary' as a woman of independent sexuality." - excerpt by Monica Sjöö in her book The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth. To all my soulsisters, I am putting this post to remind you that the definition of labels keep changing and shifting through different eras. May we all remember to tap into our own Divine Feminine despite these labels. May we remember to define ourselves based on our own insight, intuition and instinct. May we remember never to judge another soulsister. May we remember that all the power we need to be our most divine selves lies within us. So be it.
