BALANCING // MASCULINE AND FEMININE

Thursday, January 10, 2013

You'll hear me go on and on about the Divine Feminine and all her magical wonder, but I will admit, I do leave the masculine aspect on the sidelines. I acknowledge it but hold the feminine power higher, ever so slightly, subconsciously. ​This is the opposite of the societal views of today. And neither one is right or in line with what we need.

Today at a Goddess Dance ceremony I was a part of, there was a male presence. He joined in the dance and completely embodied the power of the divine feminine. He also brought it a different dynamic, the dynamic of masculine, honoring the feminine. And in turned this brought an energy to each one of the women there, to honor the masculine.

There can't be one without the other.

Balance.

Within each of us resides the qualities of the masculine and feminine divine. Our genitalia is only an outwardly expression. It helps us to break the barriers between us , to see past our bodies to encompass all of who we are, as individuals, as a community, as a collective. It gives us something to challenge our egos. Once we realize that we are one, the possibilities are endless. 

Mother/father.​ Shadow/light. Fire/water. Hot/cold. 

We hold them all. They are all inside of us. We need the healers and the protectors. We need the wisdom and the emotion. We need the warrior and the warrioress. 

Gods and Goddesses.​

Align and support.​

BOHEMIAN GYPSY MAMA

While my friend (and photographer of the next lookbook) Katelyn was here for her week long marathon photo shoot trip, I had the honor of photographing her.  She has such a unique beauty that you dont see very often.  I love love love her freckles, so much.  We both got to experience what it felt like to be in front of the camera for each other.  And I think we both pretty much felt at home.  I got to use her new Canon Mark III for this, and after experiencing the amazement of it, I will slowly be saving my pennies for it!

If you have not yet met Katelyn online yet, please do so at her new blog home, Gypsy Moth Sol.  I recently also had the pleasure of designing a new blog for her, and even though it is just a baby, its gooooood.  I love how she has opened up to sharing her soulwork, and growing journey she is on.  Its been a beautiful thing to witness.   Ill be back soon with another sneak peek from her amazing photos for the upcoming lookbook!!

PEACE AND LOVE,
