I have been sitting with Holy Rage this week and love the power it feeds. I keep thinking of Vicktor Frankl as a prisoner of the Holocaust and solidifying the truth that no one can truly take our freedom unless we hand it to them. Something I am unwilling to do. Force creates the tension for change, but flow will always be the best guide. She knows what’s she doing and so do we.
Yes Sacred Rage is powerful, a side to anger that is healing and restorative. Many controlling bodies in the our world are bent on getting our compliance. As you said, Lynn, let's not hand our freedom to them. ❤
“She is not a belief or a conjecture. She is everything! She’s the universal spanda, meaning the pulsation and radiating energy that creates and manifests as life.”
Soooo delicious. Grateful for writers like you that speak of Her loud and proud!
Thanks Vashti! I truly appreciate your comment, more than you know!
"Grateful for writers like you that speak of Her loud and proud!" Oh has that been a journey. Because She is everything to me. And the shame around being different in this area too, is challenging. But it has taught me to look more deeply at the passion rather than the shame, at desire rather than focusing on propriety.
And I grateful for you too, Vashti! For the same reason, keeping the beauty and wildness of Her alive in you and expressing that in word!
"Have you started screaming with me too?" Why yes! Yes Julie, I have! And it's so comforting to know not only that so many of us are screaming, but that there are many of us who are also turning to all the unseen and timeless supports that both transcend and are woven all through this steaming mess we are living and breathing. This was so helpful. Thank you for the reminder that the spanda pulses on regardless, and that there are so many "eyes" witnessing and holding us all. When I contemplated what you said about the spanda, I suddenly remembered having the experience of feeling my own heart beat so strongly during a standing meditation earlier today. I know it may have been partly due to feeling so adrenalized, but I think I want to frame it for myself as the indomitable spanda coursing through me. Standing with you, screaming with you, sending solidarity through the Substackiverse to all.
I love your reference to the many "eyes". Reminding me of a dream I had a few years ago about eyes. It was such a powerful dream that when I woke up I could sense the eyes within nature tuning their attention to me (like in my dream). I felt them in the trees, in their leaves, in the plants and rocks, in the sun and in the clouds. All the wondrous eyes of connection that lead right to the soul. Thanks for responding Keith! Appreciate your wisdom, and your collaboratory scream. ❤
Thanks for sharing your dream imagery, Julie. I often feel like trees and rocks and other living things in the woods recognize me, just as I recognize them. We have a relationship, a connection, yes. And synchronously, last night I pulled the Hag (King) of Earth (Pentacles) from the Dark Goddess deck. She sees all things, endures all things!!!
It's interesting commenting on these energies when--here in Canada--I'm not steeped in them the way you are in the States. All I can say is thank you for the transformative work you're doing. There is something beyond the collective experience you're living right now, but the choices that you're faced with and the way consciousness is burning through feels really important right now. Blessings for the journey. Wishing you all the support you want and need from the invisible and physical world in this important work, Julie. 🙏 ✨
Thanks Allysha! As much as this is challenging, there is something at the center of all this chaos that is phenomenal. A creative force that feels palpable, for in the destruction there is an incredible birthing that arises from the compost. For me, touching into that force means building the capacity and that comes with respect, remembrance and honoring this flame. ❤
It is in remembering our individual and collective feminine power that we will somehow navigate what's ahead. Thank you, Julie, for this beautiful piece.
Thanks Wendy! Remembrance truly is a dissident means of challenging the status quo. And why through the years, centuries and millenniums the Divine Feminine has been pushed down and buried by patriarchal powers. Why? Because She is completely and innately powerful!
So true! What is fascinating is that it's all there. All I need to do is gently shift my attention, and there's the mystery, the beauty, along with the many forces of life! ❤
This is so timely Julie and such a powerful message from the feminine. We have to stand and watch it at all times, but then we go beyond what we can see and there is the truth, there is the reality, there is the wisdom, there is all the support that we could possibly need when we ask. Last week I has this feeling of just not being able to cope and when I asked for help I was guided to Kali. I immediately felt safe in the chaos as she held me and I knew I could get through anything. I thought of you at this time, because you’ve talked about her before. Everything is so connected, it truly is magical. xx
YES - Her message is powerful, magical and is becoming more accessible. I know, when I fall into patriarchal manipulations, believing them to be true, I lose myself and my footing in the world. She, (especially Kali and other goddesses like her, these aspects of the Divine Feminine that can rage) remind me of my true nature. There is something about this aspect of anger that is incredibly healing and protective. She helps me anchor into life, this force of Her. Thanks Louise - sending love and a big hug❤
I’m all screamed out. Right now I’m embodying the goddess and shining light out into the world to counteract the darkness. This has even shown up in my dreams lately, in which I was standing naked in a garden center and was recognized as Mother Goddess.

Yes yes yes!! I especially loved these lines:

What a beautiful truth seeded within your journey, wow.
And what a blessing to cross paths with another of Her sacred daughters!
So beautiful and powerful. I’m screaming with you 💜🔥
I feel you dear one!
Very well done Julie! I feel the force fierce alive and exciting.
Too bad about the fires and Zuckerfucker dudes, keep stirring the pot!
Love you!
Thanks Prajna! Feeling your love!

Indeed. ❤️
Feeling the same way. These words needed to be said. RIP Chip.
Erica you made me laugh! Thanks for that. Yes, RIP CHIP. ❤
Remember the mystery. Remember that which inspires your soul. Remember your essential nature. Remember. ✨ Yes! Thank you Julie.
So true! What is fascinating is that it's all there. All I need to do is gently shift my attention, and there's the mystery, the beauty, along with the many forces of life! ❤
Absolutely! It is always there, it just takes that shift in attention. yes :)
