The Sacred is Feminine
posted by Prem Kajati
The story of the Sacred Feminine comes from far away. From the time that matriarchal culture was at its peak with its symbols, Goddesses and the construction of their figures. What aspects today can we consider a return to these origins?
The pagan goddesses reconciled into a female figure: the mother who nourishes and the woman full of her sexuality different from what we feel and reap in today's culture that she finds inconceivable that the woman is full of her sexuality and mother. Who divided us like that and for what purpose?
It is estimated that it emerged gradually with patriarchy in the Middle East with wars, virile gods and gradually beginning the era of male gods.
Little by little we understand why certain roles are uncomfortable, the place of these constructions and the need for deconstruction from these imposed roles.
As women have been subordinated to their own sexuality by the culture we live in, it has brought to light the feminist movements and the Sacred Feminine of women's rituals and tribes. It is necessary to look at the construction of the society we live in today and how we treat and judge women. Some tribes and cultures the issue of sex for women has always been viewed with great freedom.
There are tribes where women can denounce their partners like the “Akan” women tribes. If or.gasm is not achieved regularly in sexual intercourse, they can obtain a divorce. Or in rites where the main component was to teach the woman how to use her sexuality and thus win over her future husband. They are women who received information and continue to transmit it from generation to generation.
In the face of another culture, such as the one we live in, that still sees all this as sin, indecency or more than can be tolerated, generally such cultures are considered primitive or even immoral.
But how can anyone understand the laws of the feminine if we are sometimes faced with a lifestyle that predatory exploits women, nature and forgets that our planet is governed by the laws of Gaia? If you will understand today, time will tell. But we know that by the law of time a forgotten tradition always comes back.
