In fairy stories we hear, how the man, often a prince, grows into being able to support the princess. On an inner level this stands for the inner journey where a person develops the strength to relate to their soul, be they a man or a woman. In marriage, the man, traditionally, has supported the woman. As long as woman was wife, soul, partner, he supported her and she supported his values because they were the only ones that were known and she supported his, so Masculine reality and values have been doubly supported. When individual women reach a stage where they can develop their own consciousness and apply that consciousness to describing the reality of their own Feminine soul and spirit and the wisdom of instinct, then we have the Conscious Feminine and the world can change.
Feminism has given the Masculine voice in a woman a place in life: but the soul and body still have to find a voice outside of the arts. My books and the articles, groups, talks and information on this site can help you a lot. Please have a look. It’s good Feminine food.
