16 Dec Full Cold Moon + Winter Solstice: The Dark Mother

Full Cold Moon + Winter Solstice: The Dark Mother ~

The Dark Mother is very present right now on this Full Cold Moon approaching Winter Solstice here in the North. Can you feel Her?

She is Lilith, beautiful Goddess of feminine empowerment, liberation, and sexuality — greatly misunderstood and feared today by the collective consciousness of thousands of years of of patriarchal culture.

Legend tell us that Lilith was Adam’s first wife, made from the same Earth as his equal. When she absolutely refused to subordinate herself sexually and in all other ways to Adam, she was demonized. Mythologically represented as an irresistibly seductive she-demon with long hair, she has become the scapegoat for the fear of feminine power.

Lilith is linked to the Dark Moon in astrology, and describes our relationship to the absolute, to sacrifice, and shows us how to let go.

She is the Serpent, primordial creative energy and the ultimate symbol of healing and wisdom. The serpent was worshiped in the ancient world as a force of regeneration, metamorphic change, and rebirth. The essence of the spiritual power of the cosmos, She is recognized in Hindu culture as the Kundalini fire. The serpent is also greatly feared throughout patriarchal cultures…

The wild, sexual, transformative power of the Dark Goddess has gotten an extremely bad rap over the last few thousand years. She is fierce when she needs to be. She is not afraid to dive into the shadows and slay the true demons. She is powerful beyond measure.

These next days are the darkest of the year. The Earth is quiet and we are called to be still and listen deeply.

• In what ways have you rejected and demonized your essential feminine expression?
• How can you deeply embody and reclaim Her?
• What has to transform in your psyche in order to do so?

May the energy of the Solstice, and the Rebirth of the Light, be an activation for you to step into your full radiant, feminine power. May we reclaim the vitality of the Dark Mother within each of us and in our collective field as a whole. May we step forward on our paths as healers, priestesses, and leaders in this world that so needs the medicine only we can give.  

Blessed Be.
