the goddesses can be either, but they play through us in turn
Are we talking about archetypes here or real Gods? Always thought the Hawaiian’s had an interesting system with a deity for everything of nature.
My archetype for my ideal woman used to be the perfect balance of all opposites, perfectly centered, and she was capable and able in the worldly affairs without losing her center. She could by day tend to high-powered business, and at night come home to let go of all that went on throughout the day, return to her center, and express who she truly is inside.
She would be mature but eternally young and vital at the core. Capable of letting go at an instant, of abandoning her self to play in the moment, carefree.
If I was to turn this into a deity, she would have all this but also the powers of a Goddess. I imagine her as some how embodying electricity-lightning, and she could see our thoughts. She would not be an easy deity to please, for she would demand that I sacrifice all that I hold onto in the world, and that I become sharp and always ready. She would be a warrior Goddess and expect me to be a warrior at her service. If I consulted her she would tell me the truth in ruthlessly honest way. Trying to come close to her would rip the masks from my face and the cloths from my being.
But I would be able to connect to her safely through the core of my being.
I see this as a symbol for something I was to embody.
