The Divine Feminine and the Underworld
Jul 08, 2026
Last night Circle was powerful. Sometimes when the Circle ends we look around and it feels so unbelievably harmonious that you can practically imagine the angelic singing! - the love and heart pulses in the web of connection. Sometimes we dance and drum and the joy ripples and magic abounds.
Sometimes, like last night, the notes are discordant. The stories of each woman, instead of weaving gently and picking up the threads, tucking them into a beautiful braid, they jumped, stumbled and ricocheted in the loving circle of energy we held. And sometimes there are no answers, no wisdom in that moment to be found other than sitting with what is until it is ready to move.
It would be easy to label this as 'bad' or 'uncomfortable'. But THIS is where the creation lives. And THIS is exactly how you get to the drumming, dancing and transcendent harmony.
One of the most ironic things is that women in our feminine are naturally underworld creatures, we are naturally descent beings. Our blueprint is to be so in touch and in such deep relationship with the unknown. And yet our conditioning as women prioritises the masculine: that we should control. We are taught that our mode is having an eye on everything, micromanaging everything, knowing everything, understanding everything.
And it is the opposite of what we came here to do. It's the opposite of what we came here to be.
You are not going to get to the thing that you want, to that life that you want by getting better at the systems that you were given that were never yours. But instead the journey is about becoming masterful at descending, at releasing control. Journeying to a deeper place, a more true place: the source that lives inside of you.
Then, and only then, the balance of the animus can come through. The masculine energies within us as women can be called in to balance; to create structure and drive the magic forwards. And that my dear is where you can build the life that you have been dreaming of, that you told yourself you can't have.
Turning towards and journeying to the depths with the very thing that frightens you will initiate you into a version of you that learns to create instead of control.
This is the thread the underworld hands you: not gentle, not yet gold or braided. You take it anyway. Relinquish control and you find it - the power, the magic, the mystery you were told to organise your way out of.
This is the co-creation. This is the power of the feminine.
