She is Rising!
What does “She is rising” mean? This is an extremely powerful inquiry for our current time, that opens gateways to frequencies and spaces that call deeply to our soul. Inviting us into ancient awarenesses that feel fresh and new. I can impart with you what has come to and through me, but I invite you to take your own journey with this question if you have not begun already.
What I share in this post is in no particular order, because that’s Her nature. Our present-day paradigm is the “line”. A piecemeal, step by step process that gets us from point A to point B. It’s an established path, a train of thinking, the scientific method. Nothing is wrong with this model, the issue is how ingrained it has become in our culture at the expense of something else, Her. SHE IS NOT A LINE, but a circle and spiral that is both inside and outside of time. So instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. She is F, Red, 8, Eddies, Ω, Sssss … An unveiling with twists and turns.
Personal Journey
It is important not to view the “Feminine Rising” through the filters of patriarchy, organized religion, hierarchical structures, etc. Sit for a moment with this and feel how voluminous history has been these past 5,000 years since the last divine feminine/goddess culture. It’s practically impossible to escape all the many beliefs, traumas and conditioning that have become the filters we don’t even know we are seeing through.
So then how does one answer this original question? For me that meant meeting the inner trauma. Seeing how intricately it's connected to the ideologies of dogmatic Christianity and toxic patriarchy. This took me into a deep deep dive into Sacred Feminine teachings. Many that have been hidden away but are now reemerging. This wasn’t about studying with my mind some academic theory. Instead, it was and is about opening my body, heart and belly like a radio receiver to this sacred frequency of Her. Today, I may call myself a priestess, with Her I will always be an acolyte.
What is the Divine Feminine?
Another huge question, a tome could be written here. She has always been present, but through time covered up, hidden away, reframed into another context. She is the cycles, everything that changes and is changed. All life is born from the darkness of Her womb and in death it all returns. On a grand scale it’s our home that we call Mother Earth. Our natural world that we live with, in and on. We witness this with each passing day as it becomes night, then night becoming day. It’s the fluctuations of the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Rhythms of life that ebb and flow like ocean tides in our personal and shared lives. As gain and loss, rest and action, work and play, beginnings and endings, joy and grief, health and illness, successes and failures.
She is perpetual impermanence. Attempting to control Her only spawns dominance, conquering and possession. It’s challenging to meet uncertainty. Quite scary, even intimidating to meet the stark darkness of the void. Yet this is the magical place of potentiality where creativity is sparked, the fires of passion are expressed.
In the macrocosm and microcosm, She is Love, embracing us from within and without. A sweet glue-like presence that holds life all together, even when it is collapsing. We are not separate from any of these dualistic movements. We are woven together in unfathomable ways. It’s the warp and weft, weaving in cooperation what we know and don’t know. Including the eventual unraveling as destruction and dying. New ecologies are formed in this way.
Patriarchy
This is not about toppling patriarchy. Like a calculated plan that has been premeditated, designed and prepared for years in order to infiltrate, rise up and quash those at the top. Removing the leaders, then replacing them with a matriarchy! No that is just patriarchy in a dress. Her rising is a misnomer. For she is interlacing with the ground of being. She is both the mycelial tendrils connecting the root systems in the earth’s soil as well as the network of grass roots organizations that come together around the world. Analogous to a weed that can begin to break up a concrete slab, so does the foundation of patriarchy crumble. Not from the top, but from underneath.
What does this look like?
Chaos. Yet even in the turmoil there is something wondrous unfolding. A forging, a baptizing of new life from what absolutely needed to fall apart. There is an incredible beauty within the storm. Look around She is everywhere right now. Change is happening personally in people’s lives and in groups, families, communities, governments and nations. This isn’t meant to be pretty; death and birth is messy!
Inviting us to look in the places we were told to never look. Our wounds, traumas and pain. To trust maybe for the first time what we have been directed to mistrust, our animal nature, feeling bodies and intuitive knowing. Yes, these can be tough places to visit. Even challenging. AND they’re alchemical, a potent medicine. For in this meeting our innate power that was held captive, is released. Freeing and restoring the wisdom that was lost. Making available the stories and myths of our lives. Bringing meaning back to our existence. We need these shape-shifting patterns, sacred inquiries, unsolvable mysteries. Supporting us in resting into the wonder that life is…
And Onto Part 2…
Looks like another part is calling. Till then…
May She that permeates the universe, our lives and the physicality of all that we see and all that we don’t, be an anchoring presence in our lives. Instead of going through the motions of barely existing, She summons us to incarnate fully in our bodies, submitting to the beauty that is life. To be here, present, in and with each moment. May we open to her fierce grace and wild ways, knowing we are intricately woven into Her wholeness and love.

Oh. My. Goddess. This post is pure power, pure MAGIC! Just reading the words, I felt HER roots, HER tendrils coiling up everywhere. I want everyone to read this one! Thank you so much for this soulful brilliance, Julie! And I really loved the prayer at the end. I may make that a part of my daily ritual. ❤️❤️❤️
This is such a powerful piece Julie, you've described the divine feminine so beautifully. You've made it make sense, which is not an easy thing to do! I am definitely feeling more of this coming through, the coiled serpent, the flame that is lit within. Like you say it's time to thrive within this energy, not just exist. We are ready, SO ready. Love and light. xx
