This is a piece I wrote in April of 2016. Its about sisterhood. I've been wandering for the past several years lost and alone on the path and have not found many sisters along the way. Oh, I have met many women and a few women who acted like little girls but not many true to the heart sisters who will stick with you to the end. How can we possibly change the world and create magick if we are not LOYAL to one another and have each others' back?????? We live in seriously troubling times my sisters and women........we gotta get real. Sure pussyhats are fine but it needs to be more than coming together and wearing a pussyhat to get where we need to go and to be.
Nothing hurts the soul more than when one realizes that there is a shift in energies and the results are a loss of sisterhood. When we are young maidens and mothers we find ourselves celebrating life, chalices in hand, dancing in a circle and creating beautiful magickal experiences together! We share our hopes, dreams, problems, and even conspire to save the world. Yet when we get to the age of the Crone all of that changes. We find ourselves distancing from our circle and our circle from us. Is this the way it is when we near the end of our journey? My musings this morning are why?
WHY..........
Is this a natural occurrence and part of the preparation for the end of our journey?
Health and energies play a HUGE role are are HUGE factors involved in our abilities to function as part of a sisterhood circle. As we age, well even when we are younger we experience health issues which slow us down and cause us to not be able to keep up with the pack, the sisterhood. That in turn causes alienation from the pack/sisterhood because the ailing sister is down and can't keep up and the other sisters can't function with a weak link. Think a pack of animals here and you get the picture. They leave the weak behind. But if you are a goose or duck they stop on their journey and one will stay behind with the fallen fellow bird. Does that mean that a fowl has more compassion and intelligence? Sure seems that way to me! And so the ailing sister walks a new path, the same path those other sisters who abandoned her will one day walk as well......the path to the other side, the Summerland. This is a journey that many sisters must walk alone because the attitudes of her sisters who were once so loving and close choose to not help or take the time to assist her as she enters death. Which leads me to the question of........
Why do some of us have to die alone?
In nature many animals must die alone and the pack moves on without them. We as humans are supposed to be civilized and caring but truth be told lately I've noticed that our animal sisters have more of a nurturing instinct than people. That does not say a whole lot about the evolution of women today does it? And no, I'm not a Trump supporter!
We need to embrace our sisters who need us and not toss them aside like yesterday's trash! Thats not who we are. We need each other to survive. What ever happened to women drinking tea and stitching quilts while sharing mysteries? Or women going to the woods away from men during the menses or in cronehood?
Make a difference and embrace a sister today! Change the world one sister at a time.
with the given state of things on FB since the election, many SISTERS need to read this!
