How do women approach the divine feminine?
Research has found that this occurs through devotion to the divine feminine.
Women’s selection of the divine feminine is inclusive of Christianity such as the Virgin Mary, the Black Madonna, Eve, Mary Magdalene, the Holy Spirit but also saints including St. Teresa of Avila and St. Brigid.
Other’s express this devotion to deities of other religious traditions or from ancient Greek deities like Hecate and Diana or through the ancient archetype of the trinity Maiden, Mother and Crone.
Devotional practices include creating an altar, writing a song or poem, painting or contemplating on iconography, prayer, meditation, going on a pilgrimage, breathwork, yoga, and being in nature.
These are all considered offerings of love towards the deity asking for the reciprocation of that love from the divinity, a seeking to know her and feeling a pull towards her that won’t let go.
