There are so many good points in this post from Laura Bruno, that rather than excerpt and link, I’ll just let you dive in and see for yourself.
I’ve noticed this very phenomenon she’s highlighting in recent weeks (and even months) as well, where even in the (so called) consciousness- and engaged-spirituality communities we see not-so-veiled attacks on the Divine Feminine.
So I don’t know what’s up with this trend (because we’ve been there, done that … not that it’s ever gone away). The re-emerging Feminine must really be gaining ground if such attacks are coming from these corners.
Fellow oracles, astro-intuitive kindreds, and keepers of the flame — what’s your sense and your observations?
Here’s Laura’s post – so important for all of us who have been devoted to reclaiming, embodying, and midwifing the re-emerging Feminine and also lifting the lid off the smear- and false-history campaigns (see the previous Sophia’s Children post, Un-Erasing ‘Women Who Know’ for more on that topic!).
Read on for Laura’s post, and share your thoughts.
In an uncharacteristic pattern, I’ve been working on this post for a couple weeks. Normally, if I don’t finish in one go, then the post gets deleted or forever floats in limbo. I signed on yesterday with the intent to delete this one as too obvious, too alarmed, or too unnecessary. Then, I stumbled upon so many attacks on Nature, the Goddess and everything associated with the feminine that I realized I needed to finish this piece and post it. You see, the attacks weren’t just coming from men and the military industrial complex; they were also spouting from the mouths and keyboards of people who usually recognize and honor the Sacred and Divine Feminine, especially the Mother Goddess energies responsible for creation, seasons, nurturing, and growth. I post the following links as examples of just how insidious and desperate the attempts have become to eradicate the very principle of…

Sorry I have not the time this evening to read all your reblog post.. But as I see it at the moment, our World is in a upside down mode as we seem to be going backwards on many issues of late…
Even within our own county here in England it was reported that incidents of rape were on the increase from previous statistics, whether that is due to more feeling they can now report them I do not know.. But We still need to keep working on the Feminine Energies …
Thanks so much, Sue. I hope all’s well with you! That’s unfortunate to hear about the increasing incidents of rape there. Things can surely seem like they’re going backward, but perhaps it’s ‘the darkest before the dawn’ possibility. We’ll continue with the work, for sure, honoring those who’ve come before us, each other, and our beloved ‘blue marble’, Mother Earth (our home!). Thanks for visiting, Sue. xoxo Love, Jamie
You’re most welcome, Eddie. Thank you for the lovely and kind words, for visiting Sophia’s Children, and for sharing the beauty and wisdom through your blog. I’ve enjoyed the discovery of it. 🙂 Blessings, Jamie
