How the "divine feminine" and the "divine masculine" perpetuate patriarchy - and what we can do about it

One thing the occult is very good at is coming up with systems to categorize and conceptualize things. These can be incredibly useful to us in various ways. But we also have to remember that these systems we come up with are mere constructs, and the actual world itself probably doesn't conform to them as we might like. As the saying goes, all maps are wrong. But as the saying also goes, some maps are useful, and some are more useful than others.

One thing that often comes up in esoteric and occult systems are various forms of binaries or polarities. This often makes sense; for example, without light, you have dark. Without heat, you have cold. One party gives, the other takes. Creatures are born, and eventually they die.

But we can run into problems when we start trying to lump all apparent forms of polarities and dualities together. Here's an example: Life/Death, Masculine/Feminine. In doing this, we create an association that might lead us toward some terrible ways of thinking about real people. If we associate masculinity with death, we can find ourselves thinking that waging war and inventing weapons of death is just what men and masc people do, but women can always be counted on to be diplomats and peacekeepers. Or if we associate femininity with death, we might find ourselves more inclined to think that women and femmes have a natural desire to commit infanticide and tear apart societies, and they must be carefully watched and their freedoms limited so they don't upend civilization and endanger the human race.

These are of course extreme examples, but they are real ways that some people think. And you might think to yourself, "well, I don't polarize genders this way, I think people should try to be a healthy balance of masculine and feminine." And if this is you, I want you to ask yourself why you're so attached to categorizing traits as "masculine" and "feminine" at all.

If you're like most people, you probably just came across this in some form of occult or spiritual literature and just adopted it without really asking yourself too many questions about it. When we see something framed as ancient or higher wisdom, it's pretty easy to take it fairly uncritically, especially if it aligns with our unconscious biases in some way. It often doesn't cross our minds to ask where these terms really come from, and what they signified in their original contexts.

You may have heard that male/female stuff has roots in alchemy, which is true. But the thing with alchemy is that it was using familiar terms and concepts to describe chemical processes and reactions. Think of it a little bit like how we use terms like "male plugs" and "female plugs." While old-time alchemy did have a spiritual component to it, it was more about believing that you had to be spiritually pure to make your desired alchemical reactions happen. When alchemy gave way to chemistry, and people began to realize that your spiritual condition had nothing to do with your ability to make things happen in the lab, certain people began to seek more mystical meanings in the works of alchemists, and this idea of masculinity and femininity as transcendent mystical forces unto themselves really started to emerge. It was an incredibly easy concept to project on all kinds of mythologies, because a lot of myths have male and female figures interacting in various ways.

Now the thing is, having myths with male and female figures doesn't mean seeing masculinity and femininity as discrete forces or powers unto themselves. It can mean that they simply personified various figures as male or female depending on what their own experiences and cultural biases suggested to them. For example, straight men tend to think of love and lust as something they experience when they see a beautiful woman. In a patriarchal society, where men are calling most of the shots in conceptualizing the divine, a love deity is thus likely to be personified as a beautiful woman. Straight men can also see beautiful women as a source of discord and strife, so it makes sense that love goddesses would have war aspects to them.

A society where men are sent to war while wives are left behind to raise the children and tend the farm is going to produce an association with men and violence, while the act of nurturing will be associated with women. Men who deny higher education to women are going to produce a society where intellectual pursuits and higher abstract reasoning are associated with masculinity, and intuition and practical knowledge are associated with women. A society where men are seen as bringers of social order and upholders of civilization while women are viewed more like forces of nature than rational actors will associate men with civilization and women with natural, wild spaces.

In continuing to associate these characteristics with the "divine feminine" and the "divine masculine," we preserve and perpetuate the implicit biases created by these patriarchal societies. And while there is absolutely value in saying, "hey, these 'feminine' things are actually valuable and worth respect actually," framing them as intrinsically feminine in any sense - physically, psychologically, or metaphysically - will undermine any effort to dismantle patriarchy and bring true equality.

So what can you do? I would suggest being more specific.

Do you mean passive/active? Then just say it.

Do you mean giver/receiver? Then just say it.

Do you mean harmonizing/disrupting? Then just say it.

Whatever you have filed under boxes labeled "masculine" and "feminine," you can simply take them out of those boxes and find better categories for them.

Don't decenter men if you want a man...

Be careful with jumping on these trends.

They'll have you living the life you don't want lol

[matriarchalfemininity]

Instead of saying:

"My brain turns off when I'm with my boyfriend"

Try saying:

"My boyfriend makes me feel safe so I don't have to be hyper-vigilant about my surroundings"

The vast majority of women mean the latter when they say the former, but the former has extremely misogynistic pornified tropes ('bimbofication' etc) attached to it.

ᴘᴏʟᴀʀɪᴛʏ ɪɴ ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱʜɪᴘꜱ: Masculine & Feminine ☯️

🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍

Each person is has their own unique balance of masculine and feminine energies. These energies are completely different and yet we all embody a combination of both polarities.

🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍

When it comes to handling stress, the way that the 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 will cope with this is to retreat and go inwards. 𝙁𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 will reach out to her community to discuss problems. The 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚, wants to get away from the problems until he has solutions while the 𝙛𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙚 wants to connect, and experience empathy and support around the problems.

When it comes to mistakes that have been made, the 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 is very action-driven to find the solution, while the 𝙛𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙚 tends to express their feelings & regret that the mistake even happened and then tries to make up for that mistake being made.

Everyone has both 𝙛𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙚 and 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮, regardless of their gender. Finding a balance can help you feel better about yourself and have more positive interactions with others. Two people with similar energies can love each other, but they can never have passion.

🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍

These traits come from two sources: genetics, and the influence of our parents, particularly the one of the opposite sex who is the first person we meet that is significantly different from us.

For example, young boys tend to be emotional, empathetic, and sensitive, which they learn from their mothers. Young girls are strong-willed and adventurous, which they learn from their fathers. Children are also affected by their parents’ Shadow sides.

As we grow out of infancy, we start seeking independence from our parents, and the easiest way to do this is to start fitting ourselves into the existing identity of gender roles, despite whatever natural 𝙛𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙚 and 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 we have.

For example: Young boys tend to be emotional, empathetic, and sensitive, which they learn from their mothers. Young girls are strong-willed and adventurous, which they learn from their fathers. Children are also affected by their parents’ Shadow sides.

If you start to notice which energies are being used then you’re more likely to gain a self awareness that allows you to balance these divine energies a lot easier in your everyday life.

The Shiva And Shakti Analogy

Shiva and Shakti are the Hindu God and Goddess of masculinity and femininity.

In many depictions of Shakti, she is holding the head of a man whose head she's just cut off.

This is a symbolic picture of how the divine feminine accepts nothing less than the divine masculine. And will cut the head off of any man who is weak in his purpose and not grounded deeply in his First Cause Consciousness.

I would now like to bring this allegory into the rhelm of the Law of Attraction.

You see, when using the Law of Attraction, you must be Shiva, the Divine Masculine. Just as a man must be fully erect and maintain his erection in order to penetrate a woman, so to must you remain erect in "First Cause Consciousness". That is, "erect" in your awareness of your own thought being the only cause and power and in your awareness of there being no second cause.

Only then will you be able to penetrate and permeate the world. Which is represented by Shakti, the Divine Feminine.

If you don't maintain your "Shiva Consciousness", through continuous revelations of the Law of Attraction, then you will in effect "lose your erection". That is, lose your consciousness, lose your clarity of purpose, become divided inside and weak.

And thus, fail to pervade Shakti (the world) with your grace, gift and manifestations.

The world doesn't take kindly to weak men. The world accepts nothing but full consciousness and will only allow itself to be penetrated by wholeness and fearless power.

Anything less that this will be met with Shakti's wrath. She will cut your fucking head off.

But the one grounded in the eternal principle of their consciousness, the one who is ripe with the awareness of their own inherent value and power, divorced from the external world and divorced from their performance, Shakti will lavish them with her gifts and grace. (Shiva: "I am not whole and valuable because of __. I am wholeness and value." Shakti: "Take me.")

The Divine feminine wants and accepts nothing less than the Divine Masculine.

And the only way to maintain this presence, this awareness, is by finding the "sweet spot of the present moment" through contemplation of the divine, of your oneness with the First Cause and All Things. Unprofained by externality or sense evidence.

If you remain as Shiva, the world will remain your Shakti. But anything less than Shiva will be punished. The world wants all of you in your pure uncompromised awareness.

The "head" of creation is your imagination. And as long as you abdicate your power to secondary causes, you forfeit your authority and masculinity. Shakti will cut off your head, for you yourself have cut off your own.

FOR EXAMPLE: Many of us have watched a television program known as "better human better dog" hosted by Caeser Millan. (Previously known as the dog wisperer)

In the program, you will watch as Caeser, the dog trainer, will use his CALM CONFIDENT energy to fearlessly guide and direct the dog.

One of my favorite things that Caeser does is he tells the owner to walk their dog down the street.

In which you will watch that the dog is really walking them. The dog will pull and lunge and back and bite.

And then Caeser says, "give me the leash".

And THE MOMENT that Caeser gets ahold of the leash, the dog gives him PERFECT OBEDIENCE.

Caeser does this to prove to the owner beyond any reasonable doubt that the problem is not the dog. The problem is their "heart condition". The energy they feed the dog. The dog is just a mirror.

His most popular quote is "I don't train dogs, I train humans!"

And so like in my allegory above. Caeser goes into his interaction with the dog in full SHIVA CONSCIOUSNESS. And that is why the Dog (Shakti) surrenders to him.

But the other pet parents go into the interaction with there dogs weak in consciousness. Insecure and full of the belief in external causes. And so in this case. Shakti cuts there head off.

Imagine applying this principle in every other area of your life. Imagine going into your relationship with your spouse and children as Shiva.

Imagine going into finances or your career as Shiva.

Being Shiva isn't to be domineering. It is to be fully calm confident in the awareness that you are one with God. And the world, like Shakti to Shiva or like the Dog to Caesar Millan, will quickly surrender and allow itself to be lead by this consciousness.

♎️ Capricorn SZN: Polarity Reading ♎️

*DISCLAIMER: Libra (sun, moon, rising, venus, mars, and mercury). ‘Polarity’ refers to the duality that exists within us - masculine (yang) energy and feminine (yin) energy. We all harbor masc. and femme. energy that we operate through daily, so balance is imperative for personal well-being. Pronouns are used to identify ENERGY not GENDER, as this is not a gender specific reading. Read as you see fit, take what resonates, leave everything else. 🩶*

🩷Feminine🩷

she’s had some recent developments in her personal journey, and it feels like a redirect, whether she asked for it or not. It’s causing her to reflect on the past year and what has been shown to her. the ‘labyrinth’ has gotten her to a lot of emotional levels that has taken work (or she will need to work through it) to get herself out of. her perspective for the future has been skewed for a while because of recent events that have tested her faith and especially her self worth/self esteem. she may be finding difficulty in letting go of the past that she’s invested a lot of her emotional time in, and now she’s left stressed and overthinking. For some, this is concerning a love situation. Her door to personal healing + happiness awaits her, but she can’t see when the fog clouds her judgment. As a Libra, the scales represent balance of all things, including mental/emotional wellbeing. she is being shown that her own self limiting beliefs are what keep her stagnant, these being the very beliefs that she used to determine her worth. she needs to understand that one’s soul journey is never-ending, and setbacks are expected more often than not at all. healing the past/belief systems of the past (from family for some) will lead her to finding a new direction or path to follow. “Birth” and “creation” is highlighted (some may be dealing with a pregnancy *scare*, or someone she is connected to is). she’d be better off focusing on her creations and re-strategizing (this can be a project, business, or a relationship). rooting herself in her intuition in the face of the unknown (yet again) is the only sure thing she has to hold onto right now, everything else is a dice-roll.

💙Masculine💙

his tunnel vision is definitely unmatched, especially when he doesn’t want to think about shit. he’s keeping himself busy to combat memories of the past, and instead of truly healing from it, he’s becoming jaded. The good news is his finances are set to increase due to all of the work he’s been putting in, and this works for him, bc someone may determine his worth through his career and money to some degree. however, his intuition has been guiding him elsewhere, particularly toward a connection. he may feel as though this person, or other people around him are against him, which motivates him even more to close himself off emotionally. the fact that this person is able to still penetrate his mind is actually peculiar to him, and it inspires him to be introspective about what he truly values. there is a person who feels like ‘home’ to him, but in his recent past he may have learned (the hard way) that someone has walked away from him (for the final time). he can’t lie this is hurting him badly, but he is trying to remain unbothered about the separation. ‘Abundance’ is starting to look to different for him as it comes to his emotional fulfillment. He is going to be forced into his intuition and his best bet is to be anchored in it, because it is going to be harder to hide from himself. For one masc., abundance is happening for him after a time of self reflection and inaction. For another masc., the only thing standing in between him and his abundance is action. he finds emotional support in someone, even though he’s working hard to distract himself. someone feels worthless after this break up, or even living with the consequences of a 3rd party interference. either way, he is being guided to spark a deeper conversation with this person. despite the distractions he tries to impose on himself, he is guided to reach out. his holding back from this situation is dissolving, and trusting the process of moving through the unknown.

Its two ways to this thing!!!

1. He doesn't love you

2. He's not a healthy masculine ie mature.

When a man is mature and a healthy masculine/loves you he provides ,care for,spoils his woman

He makes sure you are relaxed,at rest and safe

Most men grew up to see their moms self sacrifice thinking that's healthy feminity.

A woman must put everyone else's needs before hers,work to meet the needs of others even if she's tired.serve others before herself

That isn't feminity that's self sacrifice

You can't pour from an empty cup

Healthy feminity desires rest nurture and care as well..

Every woman wants to feel soft in the presence of a man.

Not worn out.

You can't expect a woman to be an angel if you've not made heaven for her..angels don't exist in hell.

Women who understand this will never settle for a man that ever puts in the work to be a man for her.

mothering a man isn't nurturing a man,it's a relationship and that requires two grown adults with a sense of responsibility.

Choose men who are healed or on the journey,it's not your responsibility to tiptoe around a grown mans trauma or mother him. Leave them baby boys for the streets.

THE CHYMICAL WEDDING AT CANA

To understand the transformation of water into wine requires we take an in-depth look at the symbolism. The difficulty in doing so is tied into language and cultural shifts as the mystical elements of the mysteries moved from culture to culture. Let us approach the subject with an open mind and bring mystic union into the 21rst Century.

[sherkirti]

In relationships, there is a polarity between feminine and masculine energies, not just between man and woman, but also between the archetypes of femininity and masculinity themselves. Tony Robbins talks about the Law of Polarity and how it works in relationships. When the feminine feels unsafe, there is an opposite reaction, and she begins to become controlling, less open, less emotional, wanting to take the reins. The masculine, feeling controlled, not trusted, and questioned, will begin to lose direction, a lack of will, and the ability to make decisions. This depolarization happens when the environment does not allow natural energy to be expressed. We can bring this back to the biological level with plants, for example. Certain plants need certain conditions to survive, or it needs an ample amount of space to thrive. So, we can accept that, and we can bring it back to our relationships. Depolarization is what’s happening when the relationship is falling apart. It is not quite working. It could work in a volatile way, but it’s not joyous.

When we stop fixating on something, it comes to us with ease. The more we force, the more we grip, the more it falls, right? Like gripping sand, watch how it seeps out the tighter you grip. The more you confine your child, partner, friend, or loved one into a way of being that YOU want, the more likely it’ll escape you.

[feminineenergylife]

I don't care what this generation says. Marriage is STILL the GOAL. 🤍💍

[matriarchalfemininity]

The feminine is the highest vision, the divine inspiration. She leads energetically and spiritually. The masculine then executes her vision and leads in bringing it into the material world.

“Women need guidance from men/need to be led by men” is a falsehood and almost a reversal of true masculine and feminine polarity. Before patriarchy decided women were basically just silly children, kings used to seek the guidance of priestesses and oracles. However, because women are smaller, have less reliable reserves of energy and are the ones who grow and nurture life, men are the ones who build and provide. And this isn’t just women/men because we all have masculine and feminine energies within us. A woman can call on her masculine energy to bring her dream into reality and a man can call on his feminine energy for vision and inspiration.

Tantra and the Dance of Polarities:

Exploring Masculine and Feminine Energy Dynamics One of the most fascinating and transformative aspects of Tantra is its emphasis on polarities—the interplay of masculine and feminine energies that exist within us and the world around us. These energies, often symbolized as Shiva (masculine consciousness) and Shakti (feminine creative force), are not about gender but about the dual forces that…
