Each goddess comes to serve a different purpose, this week i followed goddess’s that use their own, and others sexuality as a gate to light hearted healing, Pinkola Estes in “women who run with the wolves” refers to these goddesses as ‘dirty goddesses’.  Deep healing can come from belly laughter, and one way women reach the deepest belly laughter is sometimes related to laughing at things only women would find funny, this usually relates to sexuality, to read more on this topic see Estes chapter titled “Heat” and read the story which goes by the name of ….

I found common themes throughout my readings this week. One being of the snake.  the snake representing feminine sexuality in most places around the world.  Reading this in “The Alphabet Versus the Goddess” made my mind connect to the themes presented in “Women Who Run With the Wolves”  The snake is a form of cyclical and ever-changing and ever-morphing energy, like the snake, women move with a twist of the hips, slipping along the land with ever-changing ways of constant motion.  In these times it is the vulva talking, putting voice to the feminine.

the ouroboros is from Shlain, representing the ever metamorphosizing feminine body, the snake that continues to be reborn, this relates to the theme from “The Vegetative Soul” which represents the feminine by the metamorphosis of a plant. no cycle in this process is an end, it is a continuation of the process that rolls and rolls forever.  A rememberance that when everything is good, it is bound to die, from one process to the next.
