Letā€™s take a good look at the spinā€¦
Of how natural law, became patriarchal lawā€¦
This power that woman holds in her bodyā€¦
To create life, from her substanceā€¦her flesh & her bloodā€¦
To commune with the realmsā€¦
To see, intuitivelyā€¦
Is a great threat
For the law & order
Of the linear mind
She produces chaosā€”
In periodsā€”
Because from chaosā€”
She can create somethingā€”
Altogether newā€¦
And when she circles with other women when the moon is dark, she makes a lot of noise indeedā€”
Blood & menstruation to the ancients, was a break in status quo order, & was seen to be the making of noiseā€”
The women coming together in circle around the communal hut in noisy ritualā€”
The ritual of heightened awareness
Of feelings being surfaced
in bodily movement & songā€”
What wildness, this chaos-making is?
From which the women come back, producing order from their communal noise
She brings back knowledge & culture from the blood altered stateā€”
For man this became a growing insult, to be seen with eyes that are wise & knowingā€” How painfulā€¦
And if she chooses her partner for the full moon, at ovulation, surely some men will have more than others?
Wounds fester & grow, until resentment & anger becomes violence & force to getā€¦
To tame, to domesticate, to subdue the intuitive wildness, to control, dominate
To claim the power
Patriarchal law originates in a primary wound, call it anxiety, & patriarchal law perpetuates anxiety
Because he has to learn the truth of the power he wantsā€”
The power is his consciousness
The power is his heart
His seeingā€”
The acceptance that he as child of Mother Consciousness
Has never been left out
And is always, already, fully seen
By her

Ancient moon priestesses were called virgins.
ā€˜Virginā€™ meant not married, not belonging to a man - a woman who was ā€˜one-in-herselfā€™. The very word derives from a Latin root meaning strength, force, skill; and was later applied to men: virile. Ishtar, Diana, Astarte, Isis were all called virgin, which did not refer to sexual chastity, but sexual independence. And all great culture heroes of the past, mythic or historic, were said to be born of virgin mothers: Marduk, Gilgamesh, Buddha, Osiris, Dionysus, Genghis Khan, Jesus - they were all affirmed as sons of the Great Mother, of the Original One, their worldly power deriving from her. When the Hebrews used the word, and in the original Aramaic, it meant ā€˜maidenā€™ or ā€˜young womanā€™, with no connotations to sexual chastity. But later Christian translators could not conceive of the ā€˜Virgin Maryā€™ as a woman of independent sexuality, needless to say; they distorted the meaning into sexually pure, chaste, never touched.

"What would it have been like if patriarchy had never happened? To get an idea we have to comprehend the first law of matriarchy: Women control our own bodies." #greatcosmicmother #mothersday #monicasjoo #barbaramor
