Feminine Mojo

The Feminine-Creative Fire (4/13/11 Feminine Mojo Show)

Coming up on The Feminine Mojo Show on BlogTalkRadio: The Divine-Feminine Creative Fire, the Fiery Muse, and Transformation-as-Initiation.

Feminine-Creative Fire - Wednesday, April 13th at 2:30 p.m. EDT: Author & Muse, Teri Degler, will join me in conversation about the Divine Feminine, fiery kundalini, and creativity.

Teri is the author of The Divine Feminine Fire: Creativity & the Yearning to Express Yourself, and The Fiery Muse: Creativity & The Spiritual Quest. Teri's own journey has taken into the world of kundalini, the Divine Feminine, and creativity, and she'll share more about that in this segment of The Feminine Mojo Show.

And next week....

Transformation as Initiation - Wednesday, April 20th at 2:30 p.m. EDT: Author & Psychotherapist, Melissa Gayle West joins me once again for a rich dialogue about Transformation and Initiation.

So many people are affected by the world-events and large-scale archetypal changes underway, yet don't have a framework for transformation or initiation. And so they feel lost, stressed, anxious, and even despairing or depressed.

Melissa is the author of four books on transitions, transformation, and spirituality, including Silver Linings: Finding Hope, Meaning, and Renewal in Times of Transition (Fair Winds, 2005); and Exploring the Labyrinth: A Guide for Healing and Spiritual Growth (Random House, 2001). As a long-time psychotherapist, coach, and spiritual director, she has worked with tens of thousands of women in transition.

Melissa joined me in 2010 for a SophiaLogue conversation -- the original series that blossomed into The Feminine Mojo Show.

Once again, we'll share from our own Transformation-Initiation journeys, and explore why it's so important to have a framework for transformation-as-initiation, and how having that framework can make a huge difference during your transformation-initiation journey.

John Lamb Lash will be joining me again in a few weeks for the next in our series on The Sophian Mysteries, this time talking about Gender-Love and Sacred Relationship. I'll keep you posted on the date and time.

You can listen live or via the archived show, and call in with questions during the live shows. You can also request a show reminder at The Feminine Mojo Show page.

Want to explore more? You'll find more inspiration and resources on these and related topics at Ivy Sea Online.

Looking forward to illuminating conversations!

Dreamy Energies & Underworld Gems, Coming Soon...

I've been diving deeply, once again, into the 'living archetypes' given to us through mythology and astrology.

Each time I dive, they reveal some new insight, some different side of themselves, in the context of my own experience.

Learning to 'go with the flow' and allow the underwater dives has not come easily to me. I was very much conditioned to set aside that right-brain part of my self in favor of a more left-brain, analytical, 'work hard' (which meant work a lot!) approach.

As Neptune in Aquarius slowly flowed across my natal Sun and Saturn, that former identity and structure dissolved around and beneath me. I can't say that I enjoyed it. In fact, I resisted it for a long time. Those old habits, beliefs, and conditioning really put up a fight!

But with Neptune and Pisces energy, resistance is futile. Surrender and flow are the way, whether you like it or not.

Recently and now, my 12th House, ruled by Neptune,  is activated by transit, which means that I'm half (or more) turned towards the Deep Unseen, listening and watching with shaman-priestess ears and eyes, so Underworld wisdom-gems are percolating and bubbling up, soon to be shared with you.

An-ti-ci-pay-ay-tion. Yes, it's making you wait, but I promise it'll be worth it.

Here's a bit of what's creating to support and inspire you:

Juicy-powerful Black Madonna and other Divine Feminine musings, wisdom, and guided visualizations for the Academy of the Divine Feminine; new energy and intuitive readings, as well as God/dess and archetype readings and sessions; working more with your imagination (a power co-creation center!), and something new -- guidance and mentoring sessions for women in the midst of true-blue change and transformation (yes, I've been there & have the Passport visa-stamped in the Underworld, so think of this as a sort of travel guide!).

You'll find these and more at Ivy Sea Online (a new design coming up for that, too, in 2012).

If you're curious or feeling compelled to explore one of these things sooner (or just more personally), or just don't want to wait, send along an email (info at ivysea dot com)  and let our exploration begin.

In the meanwhile, I thought you might appreciate this oh-so-apropros astro-blurb from the fab visionary-activist, Caroline Casey, in her Trickster message for the current astrology mood:

"The Sun is at 21+ Aries = “Gateway to garden of all desired things,” conjoining Mercury Retrograde at the same degree as Jupiter -= “a hammock stretched between two trees.” All opposing Saturn retrograde at “Wealthy land-owner taking an afternoon siesta.” Anyone feeling drowsy-dreamy?"

So the drowsy-dreamy-siesta'ey energy seems on par. Time to meander gently through the day's to-do's, perfectly content, calling on magic time (and just plain magic), and that Rune-Tao wisdom: Do without doing and everything gets done.

Muse on that one, or send along an email and Muse with me!

Big-Love,

Jamie
