16th Day After Dark Moon ~ The Primal Goddess

I Fuel. I Consume.

 

The moon has started to wane and right after the Full Moon it is time for the Primal Goddess, for the Wild Woman! The instinctual, free, untamed, passionate, ecstatic Dionysian priest/ess in us! Her symbols are volcanoes, fire, lightening, Her animal totems are snake and wolf, Her element is FIRE, Her crystals are carnelian and fire opal and Her color is red/orange/russet/yellow/gold/cupper. The mostly known archetype for this face is Shakti and Lilith as well. Her herb or spice should I say, is cardamom! What a spice that is! What about a cardamom tea today? Her scent is ylang ylang or musk.

The way of the Primal Goddess is the way of instinctual freedom. This face of the Goddess is seen as the untrammeled wild woman, the source spring of our creativity, the passionate gypsy, the intoxicating priestess of the Goddess who initiates the male aspect as a sacred priestess initiatrix. She acknowledges and empowers through passion and sourcing the primal energy of creation. Her transcendent function emerges through the use of creativity and through that, co-creation of reality. (from The Alchemy of Ecstasy)

Have you read “Women Who Run With Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.? If not, I highly recommend it. In this book Pinkola Estes says: “Over time, this aspect of the Goddess in the instinctive nature has been looted, driven back and overbuilt. It is not coincidental that wolves, coyotes, bears and wild women presently share similar “bad” reputations. Healthy wolves and healthy women share certain characteristics: keen sensing, playful spirit and a heightened capacity for devotion. Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, and possessed of grate endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mate and their pack. They are experienced in adopting to constantly changing circumstances and are fiercely courageous. Yet both have been hounded, harassed and falsely said to be devouring, vicious in their power and uncontrollable. If she is suppressed, the wild woman struggles upward. No matter how many time she is forbidden, quelled, diluted, touted as unsafe, dangerous, mad, she rises upward in women such that even the most restrained woman keeps a secret place for wildwoman that is lush and wild and natural. Even the most captured woman guards the place of the wildwoman for she knows intuitively that someday there will be a loophole, an aperture, a chance, and she will hightail it to escape.”

“This aspect of the Goddess operates from the instinctual wisdom held in her body. This aspect is the one who alerts us when something is definitely “off”, when we would be smart to act immediately.” (The Alchemy of Ecstasy) How is your relationship to this wisdom held in your body? How are you holding your instincts, your “gut feeling”? Are you aware of that? Are you listening to the wisdom held in your body? What are you basing your actions on? Why are you doing what you are doing? Where does the directive come from to do what you do when you do it? Are you acting from your intrinsic Knowing in your belly? 

 

Doing as others told me, I was Blind.

Coming when others called me, I was Lost.

Then I left everyone, myself as well.

Then I found Everyone, Myself as well. ~ Rumi

 

This aspect invites us to re-connect with our instincts, with our naturally free, wild and passionate selves. If you are trained to be a “good girl” or a good boy, to behave well, to not speak too loud, to not stand out….to suppress your wildness…(who isn’t, really?) I invite you to have a look into those areas of your being. Where have you compromised and hid your wild, untamed Self? And is it time yet for that part of You to come out? 

The Primal Goddess says: I fuel. I consume. Snake whose simultaneous undulations both fuel and consume creation with Extasis Divinitus, Shakti, break the quantum bonds of separation with ecstasy, incinerate us like papyrus put to flame, leaving the encoded ashes of the Phoenix, rising as a shooting star through Divine atmospheres. (from 13 Moon Oracle)

My beautiful friend Ariel sent me a postcard in the mail just yesterday. On the card it says: “If you ask me what I came into this world to do. I will tell you: I CAME TO LIVE OUT LOUD. (by Emile Zola) Wow, right ?! When were you loud, really loud last time? When were you completely without control, out of your mind, free and wild last time? What if we are all born to be WILD? What a thought! This phase of the moon I invite you to put on some crazy music and allow yourself to be WILD! Really WILD! And not worry about the neighbors or anybody else who you might be “disturbing” in their collective slumber! What about “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf?… or with “Passion” by Peter Gabriel… Or whatever calls to you, whatever calls you to your wild nature that is naturally FREE from any bondage, from any limitation! 

 

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all your guns at once

And explode into space

 

Like a true nature’s child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

(Born To Be Wild)

The quantum bonds, re-forming in our consciousness

edict of the new divine hologram of initiation in the Goddess

begin at the level of 

excitation

of electrons

get the beauty and simplicity of that?

 

excitation

excitation

can’t you feel it in your body

when you really listen?

…

Goddess Empress dancing in her opulent gowns

gracefully whirling, flowing, leaping

faster and faster in your atoms

in your electrons

alive with the passion of the divine fire

expanding in joy,

like heart beats pounding in love making

embracing, expanding, exploding,

the inner nebula of the numinous

implosion in to sacramental intimacy

with the Beloved,

divine orgasm

 

breaking the quantum bonds 

of separation 

with extasis divinitus

extasis divinitus

extasis divinitus

Shakti, Shakti, Shakti...

 

from (The Alchemy of Ecstasy, Ariel Spilsbury)

 

To your Wildness,
