Halloween. The day of the dead. Lady death. Return of the Goddess (part three)
The Day of the Dead in Mexico is a beautiful celebration of the dancing partners life and death. Colourful and quixotic, it is a scary carnival that calls to us all.
It is in honour of the dead and the fact that all life succumbs to its end of cycle. Altars are made to honour the dead and Lady Death is revered for her presence in our own lives.
If death is perceived as Female, then the acknowledgement of her presence and power is also the function of fear. Fear of the 'female power' in death.
This I feel is the nature of the Distortion that I wrote about in Part two. The fear of Death is to wrongly feel the need to overpower others. Whether it is a man-made distortion, with its basis in fear and ignorance, or, the distortion was an intervention with non human origins (off planet enemies, or dark angels) it was used to disempower both genders, creating both slave masters and slaves of mankind.
A human slave master is too, enslaved by the bonds in which they tie their slaves.

To be alive is to know that we are in this dance of life and death. To acknowledge the aspect of death in the dance, and to truly embody it, empowers us. Much of what has happened concerning the disconnection from the feminine may have something to do with the fear of Death. If the female energy is the yielding, the silence, the moon, the opposite of action, death to life, the yin to the yang, than it may explain why humans have sought to remove it from their consciousness. The fear of death cuts us off then from the fullness of life, so that we are only half participating. Perhaps this explains the slavery, and disempowerment of the female nature (that specifically falls into the domain of women) and of all natures and qualities that are associated with the feminine.
Yin is aligned to female nature, the negative electron force, the earth and moon. It umbrellas the qualities of passivity, receptivity, intuition, fluidity, softness and yielding. Yang is masculine in nature and encompasses heaven and the sun. The qualities of action, creation, intellect, stability hardness and aggression are attributed to Yang.
These energies as manifested by the earths occupants, perhaps explains the denigration of the female nature as a response by the male nature in its yearning to be the only power, that of being 'alive' and in so doing, it negates the fullness of being in the dance.
The arrogance and dominance of the yang, as acted out by humans, may have evolved into the perceived desirable "Life above death, at all costs". This acts as a cutting off from the balancing power of the 'death partner', that, when we do not embrace as Ours, keeps us in total fear of the ultimate- "death". This ultimate fear does not surface often, it is shown mainly in fear based acts, thoughts and patterns of behaviour.
Being so afraid, and keeping it hidden and displaced, means that death becomes a shadow. It sinks into something that creeps along in the undergrowth, waiting to trip you, and attack you, pulling you down, suffocating your breathe and drag you down into earth, into living hell.

On the subject of the Day of the Dead, these links offer features on Lady Death, both very interesting.

Halloween is, in the west, our version of becoming open to the scaries, that we think dwell in our imaginations only. Getting down with the gruesome: a party of Werewolves, Frankensteins, demons and devils, witches and ghosts, mummies and a whole cast of semi related dead stuff. It is our Day of the Dead. But sadly this has no substance or serves no cultural purpose, other than feeding the disease of consumer-it is, by buying sweets and fancy dress costumes.
Halloween however is more than this. It is the time when the veil become thin, we can access the Energy of "death".
However, as we have created these, the 'dead and death' into "hells of nightmares", they are Our BIG "NO GO AREAS".
They are avoided, and we construct life scenarios devoid of the blatantly obvious. The big white elephant in the room.
Death and the dead are simply separated and dissected from Life. This then must include the other "deeper elements of the divine Feminine" which continue to remain a mystery.
The dissection and separation of these element of death in our life culture seems to be as proficient as if taken out by a surgeon and his knife. It kind of reminds me of basic genetic engineering that secondary school children are taught at school, whereby the enzyme Ligase is used to cut a piece of DNA out of a longer thread of genetic material. Then the cut out piece containing the required gene coding is transferred into a host cell. It seems like there is a relation between the DNA segments being removed, and then mass production of the resulting harvest, or altered cells, and us having half of entirety cut out. The piece cut out being, our knowledge of the feminine aspect of death, a full half of the entirety of the life/death dance.
Is there a connection? Is the fact that we are still only currently functioning on a small percent of Known genetic material, and the rest appears to "dormant" or junk, related to the fact that we are operating at half mast, with our recognition of the divine feminine within us, a full half of our entirety, not even at a nursey (kindergarten)level of understanding. I digress, again.
The Feminine Energy is a multifaceted power that is like a tapestry of interwoven fabrics, of different colours and threads. We have become deaf and blind to its more empowering aspects, and it is those empowering aspects that lay waiting for us to re-engage with. It has to be as simple as that.
The return of the Goddess, Deva, Kali, Venus, the divine feminine, the holy Spirit, Shatki, Lady Death, the mother energy, Mother earth and all the female energies that we have knowledge of, are all aspects of the energy of Feminine Power, not power over others, but the power of life and the power of death, in the life/death dance. We need to empower ourselves and each generation, with some knowledge over the fear of death, and the knowledge that within us is the balance of both feminine and masculine energy which when combined brings us power in life and in death.
How we access 'this return' and embodying its power is entirely up to us.
It is there as it always has been, we can just step into it as we go about the business of being alive.
Use and refine your qualities of intuition and trust, and relinquish the hold you have on fear ('fear' is not holding onto you), let go of the reigns, let go and let God.
I am just putting it OUT THERE into the collective consciousness, if it resonates with you, fine, if not, that's fine too.

My daughter, loves the Halloween scene. She created a Scary skeleton/Victorian doll costume. It reminded me of the 'Day of the Dead' celebrations in Mexico.
She fully embraces the "dark" and she is fully involved with her life. At her Halloween sleepover last night, she and friends discussed, life and death, in full confidence and without caring if they had facts right, they allowed their thoughts and words to flow intuitively. A real feminine energy. They are all 11 years old. Perhaps The Goddess is returning after all.
