The Oracle
 

The Oracle is created to share information regarding readings about the Divine Feminine. It's also to bring encouragement to women of all ages that are seeking to define themselves or their daughters in another paradigm other than a patriarchal one. Over time, The Oracle will be a place to share our thoughts and suggestions about subjects regarding the Divine Feminine (which may be inclusive of everything!)

 

The Divine Feminine has been with us forever, a simple yet profound acknowledgement of her presence that is universal. In every ancient culture there has been a Divine Feminine, a creatrix, a provider, a nurturer that has predated the contemporary male divinity. She is associated with the most archaic and mystery shrouded deities and intimately linked to Earth's creation. It is remarkable that despite political turmoil, acculturation and societal restrictions Her image and influence remain a force in our lives. She has been reinterpreted, usurped, and marginalized as major religions succumb to exclusively male controlled dominance. In these contexts She has been acknowledged as the creator of life but now relegated as merely the vessel, a container to be filled and divinely inspired by a male god.

 

While reading the ancient cross-cultural accounts of creation stories you see Her there as the sacred waters, the mists, the sun and the moon, the Earth itself. You see Her everywhere as the Great Mother who greets you upon your arrival at birth and the Crone who ferries you back to the Earth's womb at your death.

 

I often asked myself why, philosophically, did She lose Her status in contemporary religions and world affairs. I've explored many theories about political upheavals, dominating and encroaching cultures that overthrew more peaceful ones, or the exclusive and presumptuous thought that Life as we know it had to have evolved from "God the Father" and no one else possessed the omnipotence to be a creator! I always returned however to seeking Her out. Life had to be a balance for me and not one dominating presence over another. Despite all the scholarly debate explaining her away, my discussions with other women and men over the past 40 years supported by intrinsic common sense that She must be there waiting to be brought forward and acknowledged once again. I didn't need to wait for opposing viewpoints to change, I simply needed to make Her manifest in my own Life and share this knowledge, this celebration of the Divine Feminine with others who wished to acknowledge Her. To that end, here is a humble beginning list for those of you who wish to explore Her testimony and presence.

 
    Respectfully,
