Someone asked after reading Return of the Sacred Femininewhat the Sacred Feminine actually is.
I’m not an expert by any means. If fact, I’m not really sure I know the answer well enough to respond. What I do know, or at least, feel is that with all the war and upheaval going on there is an imbalance.
I found on the internet that the Sacred Feminine is associated with the qualities of wisdom, justice, beauty, and compassion. The Sacred Feminine destroys old forms and brings new ones into being (which certainly seems to be occurring now). The Sacred Feminine connects us to our instincts, our feelings, and the imagination of the heart.
The last two qualities point to two critical elements writers employ when writing novels, memoirs, and screenplays:
- destruction of the character’s old personality to bring about character transformation
- showing character’s emotions and the expression of emotion, not through internal monologue but through actions, reactions, non-verbal communication, and what comes through the body not the mind.
