"When God first made people, She did not put them on this earth, but kept them with Her in Heaven. It was so beautiful in Heaven, that I can hardly begin to describe it. But after a time, some of Her children disobeyed Her, and wandered away from Heaven.

Now Heaven is a place for perfectly good people, and because these children were disobedient, ‘they could not find their way back. But God sent Her Daughter, Inanna to help them, and Inanna created a new place for them to live, and this new place was called the earth.

When She first created it, the world was so fresh and bright and beautiful that if you could see it, you would say that Heaven could not be any more wonderful than that (but if you had seen Heaven, you would know that it could!).

When people first came to earth, it was called the Golden Age. People were not stuck in their physical bodies the way we are, they could just "step" out of them. They could travel to another place just by thinking about it. They could understand the language of birds and animals, and build a Temple in the air without wood or stones or any other physical material.

Great princesses ruled over the cities, and everyone was happy under their reign, because like true princesses, they did not rule according to their own likes and dislikes, but ruled in obedience to God and Her laws. These laws are so perfect that when maids live by them, they are always perfectly happy."

I very much believe that we need a feminine focused spirituality, one with structure and solid foundations.

I see the deep heart need for worshiping the feminine divine, for feminine driven community, and for a celebration of all aspects of the feminine divine.

For so long, we have been constricted by patriarchal religion, and this has been to such a detriment for those who feel Her call.

I am hopeful that, within my lifetime, Her presence is more broadly felt and strong communities can band together so we can worship to our heart need, and create stronger and more resilient and loving communities.

Was just reminded that it can be confusing to switch blog names and since I completely changed my theme too I guess I'm doing my first name update ever 💗

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

I've been enjoying spring by my myself. I feel Her presence in the light and the warmth on my skin. Every morning when I wake up and get ready, I feel closer to Her. At night She feels further away, except when I'm outside and look up at the moon. I know She's in darkness too, but darkness no longer feels like home to me. I wrote in my journal for the first time in a year and I felt Her guiding my hand. I feel like I'm waking up

Anyways, enjoy my probably terrible rant about Aphrodite and her connection to Girlhood and that great feeling of childhood innocence!

(Yes I should be asleep, how did you guess?)

The first time I saw this, I didn't think much about it I see a lot of this on my Pinterest regularly. But I stumbled upon this again while working on something else and it really resonates with me.

Probably, because yeah, I relate to this. I went through puberty very, very young and I didn't know what was happening and it wasn't explained until those awkward talks at school did I actually learn what was happening.

And every day since I actually became aware I'm growing up, I've wished I could go back. I still do. I wish I could be a little girl again, but I can't, I don't have the option to go back. I can do things, that make me feel like a little girl again but I will never be a little girl again.

I think this is something every girl can relate to, growing up too fast. We were always expected to grow up fast and be the mature ones at school,

"Girls mature faster then boys."

It's not just a coincidence or a random thing people say, we do because it's expected of us. Girls are expected to be responsible somewhere around elementary school, boys don't have to care until middle school, because that's the appropriate time to grow up.

I think this entire thing allows girls to connect with Lady Aphrodite. She probably understands, growing up too fast, being forced to take on the weight. Struggling with a new changing body, a new world, eyes staring from every corner, aware, and unable to be a little girl again.

She understands that struggle, she understands that we can't go back to being little girls, but she wants you to help feel like a little girl again. She gives you the feeling again.

When you find a cute stuffed animal, when you do a new makeup look for fun, when you rediscover a picture book you used to love, when you play in the bath... Anything that makes you feel like a little girl again.

She's there and she understands

She loves when you feel that childhood innocence again, when you experience childhood joy again, when you go back to that feeling of innocence, that's what she loves!

Sorry this was so long, I should be asleep but this just made me so passionate that I felt like I needed to type this up now. So anyway what do you guys think about this? Also please remember this is my personal interpretation based off of the photo at the top.

— I cried before the sea foam that Aphrodite was born from and she comforted me with her unconditional love.
