We are living through the dying of an old era, and the dawning of a new one. At this time, we are being called to journey deeply into ourselves into order to find and reclaim lost power and wisdom, rise up and lead a new way, a way of the Heart.
There is an ancient way that has been denied to us, and can only be accessed when we are on our knees. This is the way of the Goddess. It involves a deepening, a descent, an entry from the low place.
In order to rise, we must first go down. We go low to get high. We descend to ascend. This is a mystery lost to us in a global culture obsessed with ascension, intent on going up and up, unsustainably, at a great cost to all of us, our relationships, our communities, and the earth itself. The cost of constant outward movement, or ascent, is the loss of a true and vital nourishment found only within the Self, which is also the source of our wisdom and creativity.
The resolution of this is to descend, to go deep within the Self. This is the direction in which the Journey of the Goddess calls you. I have called this sacred journey Her Way. It is a way that is Feminine in its orientation - a journey inward, into the unconscious, into the deep, into the dark, into the unknown, into the Mystery. This is a way that has been denied to us, this is wisdom that has been lost to the world, but it is essential now that we reclaim it. And to help, we have one of the oldest mythical stories in written history to guide us.
IInanna's Descent is understood to be the oldest piece of writing that exists. It is a story in the form of an epic poem that tells the story of the death and resurrection of Inanna, the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
When Inanna descends into the Underworld to meet her shadow sister Ereshkigal there, she is stopped at 7 gates. At every gate, in order to go through, she is asked to surrender a piece of her power. At each point that she surrenders her power, she is brought a little lower, until she arrives completely naked, on her knees.
In the Underworld, Inanna meets with her sister, and is found guilty by the judges of the Underworld of excessive pride. She is turned into a corpse and hung on a meat hook. 3 days pass, and her faithful servant finds a way into the Underworld to barter for her release. Inanna rises, and returns to be Queen of Heaven and Earth once again.
There will be a time in your life in which you will be called to bring your power and gifts forth, because they are needed in the world. That time is now. In order to find the power within us necessary to meet your own call, a sacred Journey is required, into your own unconscious, into what is hidden, lost, and left behind, into the Shadow, to find the treasure, power, and nourishment there. The call will not come easy. It will come as an illness, a devastation, a terrible loss, an uneasy time. These are potent times of radical transformation that your soul needs in order to grow.
This is not easy way, but it is an essential way, for in bringing us to the low point, life returns to us to find again the parts of ourselves we left behind, the parts lost in dark corners, in cobwebs, in the dusty places. It returns to us our sacred Jewels, our vital nourishment, and lost power.
Your sacred Journey is what yields the fruit that you can share with others. It is the fruitful Journey of descent and return that affords us the juicy wisdom this world thirsts for.
Many of us living in this time have felt in our hearts for much of our lives that we have come here for some great purpose, that we are here to help bring about a great change on the earth.
This change is upon us now. It is calling us to arrive in our power, with our gifts, to do what we came here to do. We are each one of us, called to realise our purpose on this earth, to step up to what is asked of us, what is required of us in this time and in the time to come.
If you feel that call, deep in your heart, in your bones, in your soul, and yet know that before you can offer your gifts, there is work to be done, then HER WAY is probably for you. If you are already on your knees and trying to find your way, then HER WAY is definitely for you.
HER WAY is a deeply transformational, creative, colourful, and super affordable guide to diving deep into your own depths, your own personal Underworld, and in that process, transmuting your own shadow, finding the treasures hidden there, and realising the unique beauty, power and magic inside of you. The result is to live as the centre point of your own world, the abundant Goddess of your own realm, the creator and hero of your own precious life.
