All's well, deep, liquid and clear ---

transformation.
Our learning curves.

P.S.: I include this quote from Geraldine Hatch Hannon's book "Sacred Space" from a past post of mine. Now it's in black text that's more visible:
"The withdrawal of the goddess religions began in... age of Taurus (c.4125-1976 B.C.E.)--the age when matrifocal civilizations flourished....
[A]lthough goddess worship was suppressed, it still continued until the witch burnings of the Middle Ages, some twelve hundred years later. It was then that the Goddess and her earth-worshipping religions fully withdrew into the hidden subconscious of humankind's psyche. p.185
With this withdrawal of the feminine spirit, we have become a society [a global society?] lacking in daily ritual and spiritual sustenance...the patriarchy's need to show independence from and dominance of the GREAT MOTHER EARTH has left us behaving like irresponsible adolescents who partied and trashed our mother's house while she was away on a retreat...we must...experience the transcendence of the feminine's return--ecologically, politically, and spiritually
[and I add personally, emotionally, mentally, bodily and every which witchway!].
As we watch the extraordinary as well as frightening changes that are taking place during this transitional phase between ages, we can see just how pivotal these last two centuries have become by once again turning to the patterns of time created by the cycles of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
As the vehicles for transpersonal energies, the outer planets alter and transform society's political and social structures as symbolized by Saturn....Neptune conjoins Pluto every 500 years or so, Uranus conjuncts Pluto approximatley every 125 years, while it meets Neptune once every 171 years....
Liz Greene often refers to Pluto as the power of matriarchal law: it pays no heed to the rules and order of patriarchal law.
Neptune is associated with feminism. Thus, when the two planets intermingle again in the twenty-fourth century, there may very well be a genuinely egalitarian society in place, with the feminine once again respected and honored. Perhaps it will be a society where battering, incest, and rape will seem as barbaric to its inhabitants as the Middle Ages with its witch burnings seems to us now."
