FEAR OF THE SACRED FEMININE
“There are obvious reasons why people are scared of and blinking incomprehensibly at the Sacred Feminine. The Goddess was successfully renounced in sacred texts and redefined as we all know, but most disturbing of the reasons is the perceived loss of power as a man to what men have been taught is the weaker vessel or sex. It flies against the cultural grain protected by pride, meanness at times, and fear of capsizing. At another level the scope of the work to change and adjust as a man into simply understanding the Sacred Feminine has no tutorial, and confronted with justified anger from women is daunting.
There are other reasons and there are not enough capable ceremonial Teachers assisting in the transition, and sadly, it seems there are more angry activists than Teachers capable of assisting in the transition.” – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
