These are the words that came to me today when I saw the word “Feminine” for today’s prompt for the May Magick 2019 that I’m participating in.
I didn’t always see myself as feminine and having worth and being special.
I didn’t always honor myself, love myself, create sacred space for me. I didn’t know about angels and spirit guides and animal spirits, faeries and Gaia. Or, ritual and prayer. And I didn’t know about Her. I didn’t know about the Divine Feminine.
I didn’t know that I can ask for myself, and that it’s ok to receive, give myself permission, and forgive myself. That I don’t have to feel guilty, or make myself small to let others feel good about themselves. I didn’t always know that I don’t have to carry shame around with me like a suit of armor, or live from a place of fear. And I didn’t know that I don’t have to hide myself away, I didn’t always know that there is another way, that I’m allowed to think a different way or that the universe is not against me.
I wasn’t always proud of who I am. The truth is that I didn’t know who I am.
I didn’t know my own feminine worth, my own beauty, my own desires. I didn’t have dreams, I didn’t know I was creative, and loving, that I had wisdom and beauty and joy all inside of me just waiting for me to wake up to my own self and unearth out my hidden treasures.
I didn’t always know that I am Divine Mother incarnate. That She is in me, as me, and through me. She is me and I am Her.
I didn’t know – I am all that – Divine Feminine!
Blessings

Your comments on shame and self worth make me wonder if you’ve read Berne Brown? I just love her. So many beautiful truths in what you write here!

AWESOME POST! So many of are brought up believing the same as you did. We get stuck believing less of ourselves and these thoughts actually effect every cell in our body. We are all so very special, loved and one with the Universe and so many other spiritual beings you can’t even fathom. If you have a problem, all you have to do is call. They are there in a split second! Thanks for sharing your inspirational words!
