    Thank you for this insightful article. Many of us, particularly women of a certain age, have experienced a kind of invisibility from our cultures which asks us to be silent as well. I am inspired and encouraged by the suggestion of evolving Sedma’s story, and, having done so, evolvong my own. May we all honor the goddess within. This is a very creative way to do it. Thank you.

    This: “Honor the goddess, especially the one that disturbs you the most. Dark goddesses can repulse us, threaten us, terrify us, make us feel that we are mad, out of control, hysterical. These goddesses are the ones that present the greatest challenge in the heroine’s journey. When we sincerely honor them, a rich and abundant ground of energy is released.”

    Thank you, Susan; this reminds me of your teaching on Sedna years ago, and I am grateful for the reminder. There are some ladies I shall visit.

    The unresolved, or unprepared, nature of this story—literally stunted—has me thinking.
