In this episode we will be exploring: Chapter 14: La Selva Subterranea: Initiation in the Underground Forest Story: The Handless Maiden Topics/Themes: The Fifth Stage- The Harrowing of the soul - Pregnancy, Birth, New life The devil changing messages Cultural traditions the devil has mutilated Veils: Using a mask to empower rather than muzzle the wild self “This symbol is about keeping private, keeping to oneself, not giving one’s mysterious nature away. It is about preserving the eros and mysterium of the wild nature”. The Sixth Stage - Realm of the Wild Woman - The queen staying at the inn for 7 years. The ages are not meant to be hierarchical, but simply belong to women’s consciousness and to the increase of their soul-lives. Each age represents a change in attitude, a change in tasking, and a change in values. 0-7 age of the body and dreaming/socialization, yet retaining imagination 7-14 age of separating yet weaving together reason and the imaginal 14-21 age of new body/young maidenhood/unfurling yet protecting sensuality 21-28 age of new world/new life/exploring the worlds 28-35 age of the mother/leaming to mother others and self 35-42 age of the seeker/leaming to mother self-seeking the self 42-49 age of early crone/finding the far encampment/giving courage to others 49-56 age of the underworld/leaming the words and rites 56-63 age of choice/choosing one’s worid’and the work yet to be done 63-70 age of becoming watchwoman/recasting all one has learrned 70-77 age of re-youthanization/more cronedom 77-84 age of the mist beings/finding more big in the small 84-91 age of weaving with the scarlet thread/understanding the weaving of life 91-98 age of the ethereal/less to saying, more to being 98-105 age of pneuma, the breath 105+ age of timelessness Encouraging you to share your voice “Share your progress because it’ll either be a stepping stone for others or it’ll be a stone to avoid” - The Art Spirit The Seventh Stage - The Wild Bride and Bridegroom - The second wedding “The endurance of soul has been tested and met.
