The New Priestess Is Emerging

The
New Priestess is Emerging. She
is a space-keeper. She holds
the nest of loving energy, inside of which her colleagues and friends may
transform like a chick bursting from an egg.
She holds the container the perfect balance of masculine
protection and guidance and feminine nurturing and comfort.
The New Priestess energy is different than the old.
She does not claim full dominion over access to a supremely Feminine
deity. She is not the only way in.
She does not exist in contrast to a masculine Priest.
She has a new way of embracing the male and female as one, even as she
utilizes each energy separately, as they are each beautiful reflections of the
whole.
There was a time when the Goddess reigned supreme.
The only appropriate representative of the divine, and leader of the
spiritual community, was a woman. This
woman, the priestess, represented the purity, fertility, and divine flow of the
goddess. This was a time when men
were seen as consorts or helpers of the divine feminine.
The gods were seen in this light, as were men of the human race.
They were secondary. They
were less necessary.
And then there came a time when the God reigned supreme.
The only appropriate representative of the divine, and the leader of the
spiritual community, was a man. This
man, the priest, represented the strength, action, and guardianship of the god.
This was a time when women were seen as helpers and supports of the
divine masculine, and of their husbands. The
goddess took a backseat to the god, and in many traditions, she was completely
denied. Compared to men, women
were secondary. They were less
necessary. This age is only now
ending.
We as a people have explored each sexual energy in its divine form for
eons. We have played out the drama
of duality. And now, we are ready
for the merging and flowing of balance and unity.
This is the New Age. It is
already here. Our challenge is at
hand, to take what we have learned from each of the older ages, and weave them
together to serve harmony and peace.
The new energies are coming into the Earth right now.
The last big hoopla of the masculine age is burning away in the current
fireworks show. We are in the years
of transformation, and they are showing us the last hoo-ray of war, conflict,
and hypocrisy of the current unbalanced masculine-based culture.
The system is being revealed in its ridiculous dependence on competition,
consumerism, and conflict. That
which has been hidden is being brought to Light.
At the same time, new energies are coming into the world, and manifesting
through the Awakening of many people to the truth within their hearts.
There is a communal A- Ha! rising from the masses.
The universal light-bulb is lighting over our heads.
We are awakening from a sleep, and our eyes are opening.
For the individual and for society, this awakening process includes a
releasing of old habits and patterns, a healing from old wounds, and a
resurrection into a new awareness based in freedom and natural connection to the
divine, to the earth, and to other people. For
women, the awakening leads to a reclaiming of their spiritual authority, which
has been long denied within the masculine age.
This is the awakening of the Priestess.
First, the Priestesses will awaken. Then,
the Priests will transform. When
both are in harmony of relationship and leadership, the new Spiritual Connection
on Earth will be clear, natural, and easy.
Community in Spirit will be obvious, and people will come together in
Faith without the rigors and structures of the
Temples
of the old Feminine Age or the Political Religions of the Masculine Age.
The people will come into communion with Spirit in every day, in every
moment. With this movement comes
clarity, freedom, and the spiritual energizing of society.
Priestesses,
Awaken! Your dreams are showing you
the way. The memories rising up in
you must be allowed to expand and transform.
Do not be afraid to remember the times you were raped and killed for
holding your spiritual authority for being a witch,
a priestess, a powerful woman of Spirit.
Do not be afraid to remember the times you misused the power you once
held when your ego was carried away with your authority and you hurt people
with your power. These are all
memories keys to unlocking your treasure chest.
They bring back the lessons you learned in the past.
You have no need to repeat these experiences, because you have already
learned the lessons. It is time to
integrate now. Time to integrate
your past hurts and human experience training into your current Wisdom and
Awakening. Time to reclaim the power
that is yours, not to replay the past, but to move into a glorious future where
all of our spiritual work is done in co-creation with God AND Goddess for the
Highest Good only. We no longer need
to serve our egos in competition and strife.
The duality is ending, and there is no one to fight.
Pick up your staff and walk on into the Light of your Knowing.
It is time to Awaken.
