KimoNovember Day 27: this obi was an impulse buy, but it’s so pretty! It goes quite well with my kimono closet so I’m pleased to have it. This coordinate is a bit on the feminine side, with flowers-on-flowers, but it suits my tastes well!

"In all places and times, there have been women who naturally fulfill the archetype of the Sacred Whore. In the Kama Sutra, Vatsyayana states that a true prostitute (in a society where it is embraced and supported), is "born" that way, possessing the natural instinct that copulation and the art of pleasure and eroticism is the core element in her search for the meaning of life. The Sacred Whore embodies a special form of the Goddess that works through her, and also reflects and embodies a defined ancient space within the male psyche, specifically which assists men weakened by the limiting, cool restriction of Saturn, and activates his Solar nature, realigning him with his ability to produce & give energy. She takes the energetic stance of passivity to absorb both his sexual energy and wealth, and therefore activates his discharging Pingala-Nadi, showing him the "joy of giving" without expecting to receive, which orients him towards embodying the giving rays of the Sun (the most masculine planet). Sun-ruled men (as I will describe in a video soon) tend to shift away from the monogamous intimacy which relates to Saturn (dissolving the ego, exalted in Libra) and Venus (romance)-- both which are Sun's enemies. The Sun, having an endless source of its own radiance, taps into the ability to give without measuring, withholding, restricting, or asking for something in return, and this is not found in a monogamous relationship where exchange is more equalized and beneficial in a wider sense, which is why committed relationships are more contrary to Sun's nature. Certain men who, therefore, are lacking in Solar qualities & need to increase their masculine nature, benefit from the heated interaction with a churned woman from whom they will receive no security, "dowry", societal prestige, children, or anything whatsoever. They teach a man that the act of giving and discharging energy is the supreme joy of the Sun, and is in itself the pleasure & reward."
