Are you living alone, with a partner or family, in a commune or an urban apartment? Then this blog is for you. Are you a lover, thinker, warrior, healer, creator? This blog is for you! Are you a daughter, mother, grandmother, or all three? Then you are a Moon Goddess and this blog is written for you.
Moon Rites is about feminine energy and personal power — the power to be, to create and perhaps most important of all, the power to make choices which reflect our true needs, desires and goals in life. Although many of us feel the faint echo of this great inner power, our society influences us to behave in certain ways as women. We are taught to fit in with prescribed social codes and to raise our children to do the same. But sometimes we sense that there is, or once was, another way, a way that embraced our differences and honoured our life experiences and wisdom. These are the whispers of the Goddess within, your individual, feminine, personal power. In fact, there are as many different ways to be a woman as there are different women!
Moon Rites invites you to look at some of these different options, and to learn to listen to your inner voice and decide for yourself who and what you want to be and how you will make your feminine journey in a way that fulfils your dreams and empowers your life.
That is why this blog is for you. It’s for you, your daughter, your niece, your sister, your auntie, your grandmother, your girlfriend and even, perhaps, for your brother, son, father, husband or lover. This blog is written so that anyone who reads it can rediscover the mysteries, magic, dreams and visions associated with being a woman who bleeds or once bled. It celebrates the healing wisdom, stories, jokes, ceremonies, connection and love that thousands of generations of women have shared and understood. It is about learning to nourish yourself in body, mind and spirit, making time for yourself and getting to know yourself in all the different stages of your life.
It has never been more important for us as women to take a closer look at our own bodies, minds and spirits, and at how deeply the connection between them affects our lives. Cultural factors over centuries have contributed to the loss of feminine wisdom and menstrual lore, severing the threads of spirit, creativity, intuition and joy in the body that added magic to our lives by weaving a tapestry of beauty and meaning that was part of feminine heritage.
We now have the chance to rediscover the best of the ancient ways, renew them in a modern context, and reintegrate them into our reality, resulting in healthy, loving, powerful women who are living joyful, fulfilling and meaningful lives.
That is why this blog is for you. It contains many of those lost ancient threads, and weaves them together with ideas and information for women today. Whether or not you choose to act on all, some, or none what you discover, you will have made a choice. Re-awakening to the Moon Goddess within is a personal and individual journey. Once experienced, it is a gift to be treasured as the birthright of all women and their daughters.
I invite you to read, and enjoy. It may change the way you feel about being a woman. It may even change your life!
Bright Blessings, Moon Goddess.
