... as we reach the December-21st-Solstice, the shortest day of the year.
Celebrated all over the world, this is the moment when the rhythm of the earth changes and the heartbeat of Gaia, the mother Goddess, takes on a new charge of energy.
We are told that she is a goddess who, by all accounts, inhabits the planet, offering life and nourishment to all her children.
In the ancient civilizations, she was revered as mother, nurturer & giver-of-life. And in Greek Mythology she represented the Earth, birthing all forms of landscape, plant & creature.
Though her creation was majestic, her solitude was great. She longed for love & created the sky with whom she mated, igniting a creative force which birthed-countless-offspring:
... Time & the Fates, the Muses & the Oceans ... to name a few.
She’s considered the-primeval-mother of whom-all-gods - & life-itself - descended.
As-mother-figure she represents the Divine Feminine."

"A concept grounded in spirituality, definitions vary depending on who you ask, the Divine Feminine is an energy that has been with us since-ancient-times.
Consciousness is basically divided up into ‘masculine’ & ‘feminine’ sides, both are needed to achieve our highest creative potential.
In other words, the Divine Feminine represents the connection to the part of your consciousness responsible for nurture, intuition, & empathy, regardless of gender.
The Divine Feminine is the aspect-of-the-self associated with 'creation, intuition, community, sensuality (felt-sense rather than thinking-sense), & collaboration.'"
