The sweet and very socially acceptable selves that hitherto have been my way of coping and the way the feminine has been forced to survive, can remain as servants but they need to be underpinned by a stronger and more powerful instinctual Kali, primal voice coming from deep in the belly. They cannot get me or any of us through to the next stages, as we all personally and collectively reach the final minutes before midnight. When I talk of Kali and the fierce feminine, I’m not talking about the feminist voices that are unconscious to their inner patriarchs and full of too much disowned rage. I’m talking about the other side of the pure Virgin Mary, the Black Madonna, that used to be worshipped for millennia and for too long has been denied creating a total split and disconnection from nature, our bodies, sexuality, death and the real nature of the sacred feminine.
I’m talking about how the patriarchal ‘boy’s club’ as Andrew Harvey refers to them as, has painted over the Lady of our Pillar, and made the Black Madonna white in Chartres Cathedra. And apparently all the Black Madonna statues in the vaults of the Vatican likewise have been painted white which shows just how scared patriarchy is of this dark feminine power and the efforts they will go to suppress Her. So, there is no choice but to bring forth the disowned voice of the fierce feminine which has at its core, the instinctual, rebellious inner child who was totally denied and/or annihilated. This voice of course represents a necessary force of healing and power from the Dark Mother, not just in my own personal system but as an antidote to the ravaging and insane forces of patriarchy that have gone berserk destroying the planet at a frightening rate. It is time for the return of the sacred feminine, Mother Earth is dying. With this safety and the roar of the fierce feminine committed to embodied spirituality, the compassion and love that is the basis of the positive light selves can come to the fore. With this shadow awareness and healing, it will become possible to have the tender fierceness that is associated with Tara leadership, so that sacred activism is integrated with the heart and finally becomes a potent and balanced blend of the mystic and warrior both together, working for justice and truth. Whether we have a happy personal or planetary ending is not known or perhaps even relevant if we can live with this level of alignment and truth. The only question for me worth considering right now is ‘can I dare to claim this Kali voice or not’?
