ARCHAEOLOGY FOR THE WOMAN'S SOUL by Corina Luna Dea

As women we have a special story to tell...

It is a story that binds us together through our inherent nature as Life Givers, Lovers and Nurturers. Like our Great Mother Earth, we have the innate pull to create and re-create, give birth and make anew what needs to be re-born from the ashes of pain or destruction. Everything we generate in this world in all areas of our lives flows from this place of knowing that our essential tendency is to love, protect, nurture and give of ourselves for the sake of others, for the sake of life itself.

I've found that each of our stories live not in the messiness of events or people who love or hurt us, but in the meaning we give to those encounter...Having only discovered in 2011 that I can write in this way, Archaeology for the Woman's Soul was born in the aftermath of claiming my freedom once more in my life. But something was different: There was no anger left in me, no judgment, no regrets. Claiming my freedom this time was an act of pure self-love, not because I loved less, but because I finally learned to love myself more...

Archaeology for the Woman's Soul

Oh! Woman…
When the day breaks free
When the night unfolds
When naked you stand in front of the world,
Within the silence of your eyes
What passion stirs your magnificent heart?
What story wants to unfold?
What lovers from the past come to your mind?
What dreams want to have
A real and meaningful life?

Perhaps you want to know
Who am I now?
Who have I become
What forces made me who I am
Wondering,
How can I change if I choose so?
Your story, your pain, your hopes,
Your Voice…
All concealed they are deep within the void
Hidden from your sight
Waiting for your heart
To split wide open
And journey far beyond
To an enchanting land
Imbued with your dreams and visions,
The place in your heart
Where all becomes real
Where all dimensions collide…
Where time and space no longer make sense
The world you can’t see with your eyes
Suddenly becoming deeply profound…
Your eternal Soul fully embracing
The challenges you came on this Earth
To learn from and overcome.

So, let us take this journey together
To the depth of your Being
Awaken, Woman
Worship your Truth…
Unleash your Voice…
Open your Consciousness…
Dream your Dreams
Envision the world you want to create
‘Cause nothing stands in your way
Once your mind and heart
Become intertwined.
Your power is beyond measure
You just have to believe
That everything you need
Is already within…
Manifesting all
Your passions and yearnings,
Longings and wildest desires.

IMAGINE A WOMAN by Patricia Lynn Reilly

  This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection, you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already within you! I invite you to love your creativity fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons, nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful, trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience.  Blessed is the fruit of your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance, write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Gather

IMBOLC by Caroline Mellor

The inspiration for this poem came after I watched a magical winter sunset and full moonrise from the top of Firle Beacon in the South Downs... Unusually for me, I wrote the poem quite quickly and changed it very little before publishing it – perhaps the energies were working through my pen! Imbolc is the mid-point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It’s a fire festival which I particularly love because of its associations with Brigid, the Celtic Mother Goddess of arts and crafts, clear sight, healing, inspiration and nurturance of creative talents – something which, through my writing, I am always trying to connect with.  I also love Imbolc because, with so much darkness and negativity in the world today, it is a time for hope, potential, visioning and initiation. With love and blessings as the light returns. Photography by Chanel Baran IMBOLC    by Caroline Mellor I am the dream of awakening. I am the returning of the night.  I am the tough green

WINTER SOLSTICE: A GIFT OF LOVE by Carolyn Riker

I’ve had several days now of alone time… It is unusual and a gift that I couldn’t see until I breathed it. I have been able to watch the sun’s rise through the grey of dawn and smile at the flickers of frost melting on the waving boughs of evergreen. It’s unique to follow daylight as it traverses the tempo of a cat’s soft slumbering purr. Night comes swifter and the glow of candles and the flames of fire comfort me more than the steady stream of always-doing-more. As much as I resisted, I needed this break. I had no idea how much my body was trying to tell me   slow down   until the exhaustion settled in around my joints. My eyes swam in molasses. Heaviness of I-can’t-hold-out-much-long, walked me to the throne of my nest. It’s winter’s gift of self-nurturing and love. It’s been a quiet proclamation of femininity and a need for comfort foods. Lemon crisps and cranberry, white-chocolate shortbread dipped in tea; I felt a hint of being pampered without
