Thank you for this thoughtful piece Jamie and for suggestions as to how we can each work with these energies. Another take on the integration of dark feminine energy comes from astrology, which I have been a student of most of my life. I see astrology and shamanism as beautifully intertwined. The planet Pluto (planet of transformation) has entered Aquarius, where it will be for the next 20 years. Pluto as an outer planet is understood as having societal influence. According to two professional astrologers, with their consideration of history and past times when Pluto was in Aquarius, this is a time that “has the potential to radically reshape society, culture and the ways in which humans govern and organise their communities.” (Kelly Surtees). Another astrologer, Shawn Nygard, offers “Pluto in Aquarius represents some of the most profound times in history when the center (be it personal, psychological, cultural, governmental, political, financial, or otherwise) is unable to hold. That is what happens by archetypal design when Pluto moves through Aquarius. The focus shifts from the center to the margins, of society and psyche. The point may not be to strengthen the existing center, but rather — in Pluto’s preferred style — to descend, to go deeper and deeper and deeper inside. Perhaps the next radical revolution will be an inner revolution, each individual finding within themselves a new center that can hold.”
Oh so difficult to stop the “grip on masculine dominance”
!
One male friend told me that whenever a man thinks about the fact that woman, only woman, can bring new human life onto this planet he has a moment in which he feels inadequate. Is that the deepest truth that motivates masculine dominance? Is that the reason it is seen as dark- because it has been kept secret?
What changes would evolve in all men, under the watchful eye of all women, if the secret came into the light?
Could it be that simple?
