Phix's Curiosity: what sparks my interest
Watch this space to see what's sparked my interest this week. A random grab bag of delights!
The Divine Feminine is not what you think it is. The world will tell you that the Divine Feminine is gentle, soft, kind, pliable, generous... And while she can be, the Divine Feminine is also sharp, brilliant, direct, holds her boundaries, knows when to be generous and when generosity is not called for.
Medusa's Garden
When you need every one and everything around you to just stop.
The Divine Feminine can say 'No. That's not what I meant,' and clarify her position. The Divine Feminine can say simply, "No." "No" is a complete sentence. As is, "I'm sorry, that isn't possible at this time." People will expect graceful excuses. There are times when this is acceptable and appropriate. There are times when you need not concern yourself with obliging a "discussion" where none needs to happen.
Ariadne's Yarn: playing with threads
What I'm up to with fiber and possibly how mythology and stories all tie together.
The Divine Feminine is not a door mat. Nor is she a princess in need of rescue - which isn't to say that even the most powerful queen doesn't need her trusted advisors, but to observe carefully the difference between the discerning acceptance of information with which to make decisions from trusted advisors, and some Jack of Hearts "rescuing" you from ??? yourself ??? some situation that you can navigate without his assistance ???
(Guess what - still working on my five pound bag of wool! But making some progress! Knitting a hat, still knitting a scarf... I may or may not have caved and bought some merino-silk to spin in a blue that I particularly love just for a bit of a break...).
Mythic Librarian: the art of arranging a life
Thoughts on ontology and ways to organize a life.
Arrange your lives around this - the Divine Feminine who is strategic, tactical, wise, and strong. Who can take aim and land her targeted goals. Who walks with confidence, head held high. Who is not afraid to fight and win. Who is not afraid to feel the great depths of grieving for loss and love. Who prioritizes what is important and holds to those commitments. Who is an ally to the marginalized. Who is compassionate and holds accountability as a critical factor in that compassion.
The Divine Feminine is fierce, powerful, discerning, and sharp. She is strong, dear ones.
