The Rise of the Divine Feminine: Releasing the Shadows of the Masculine Energy

For far, far too long, our society has been conditioned to the shadows of masculine energy. We are known as a patriarchal society, run by men or male energy which has been in power the entire Age of Pisces. We have been taught that the Divine Feminine is inherently weaker and therefore cannot survive or thrive in our modern world. I will go as far as saying, the feminist movement itself has been completely misconstrued. It is based on the principle that women can do and be anything a man can, when perhaps her role here is to do and be everything a man cannot.

Our minds have been molded and conditioned by the shadows of the masculine. When our souls are in harmony, there is a beautiful balance or weaving of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine, much like the Yin and Yang symbol. Shadows of the masculine energy are not to be confused with Divine Masculine energy. Shadows of the masculine thrives and breeds in the ego. This can look like and is not limited to, unhealthy competition, need for control, always being right, combative, fighting, arguing, not listening, power hungry, money driven and money motivated, flashy, pretentious, bragging, needing to be validated by others, hot headed, hustling, trash talking... none of this is sustainable! This is why as a collective and as society we are crumbling and having a major Tower moment (which is a necessary crash-burn-rebuild). The times of these shadows controlling us are over. We are exiting the Age of Pisces which was formed on lies and deceit that we had been mind controlled by. It is time for us to bring back the Divine Feminine and integrate her energy so we can heal and rise in the Age of Aquarius.

You see, the Divine Masculine or healed masculine energy is an exit of toxic masculinity, which is a term that has become a bit of a buzzword. Divine Masculine energy is true strength, which is backed by heart centric compassion. This is protecting your family, being a leader, and listening to others with an open mind. If I could combine all the Kings in the tarot deck, with their special elements and gifts: the King of Swords an intellectual with a good head on his shoulders, who speaks eloquently and listens whole heartedly, the King of Wands who is passionate, takes inspired action and has a clear vision, the King of Cups who is emotionally stable, mature and discerned, owns his emotions but doesn't drown in them and  comes from unconditional love, and the King of Pentacles who is financially stable, the head of the house and a boss, I would be able to weave together the perfect definition of the Divine Masculine. 

 
 

The lack of Divine Feminine energy has left us all starved and undernourished in our souls. But this is something we can call back in and embody. In fact it is essential on our ascension, spiritual and healing journeys and for the New Earth.

The Divine Feminine is about unconditional love, compassion, grace, forgiveness, nurturing, giving, motherhood, fertility, creation, connection to Mama Gaia, the life giver, abundance, ease, flowing, light, feeling and intuition. Something may have struck you here, and I hope it was a realization of the disconnect to this part of yourself. I’d also like to add that this disconnect isn't truly your fault, you were programmed to it. Can you think of any movie, tv show, song, school course, any thing that you experienced growing up that supported this energy? I cannot.

It is time for us to integrate the Divine Feminine on our individual journeys so we heal not only ourselves, but Mama Gaia, who in the shadow of the mascline, is lacking that heart centric healing and unconditional love. Her essence is asking us to allow. To trust our intuition and our feelings. To nurture ourselves as we do others. To nurture our relationships, children and mother earth. To reconnect back to our prana, this is our vitality, our inner light that has been dimmed for so long. To honor our cycles, emotions, phases and energy. To show ourselves compassion and grace and to hold space for others in that way too. We can embody her essence and reclaim our personal power and rise as Leaders of the New Earth together.
