The Liberation of Goddess from Dark Matter.
Share this post:
One of the more curious birthday presents I received this year is this little clay figurine found in a field in East Lothian; she was covered in mud. The finder, and gifter of the figure, carefully lifted her from her dark abode and lovingly cleaned her. This happened two days before my birthday and by some synchronicity or grace she found her way to me.
I see her as a symbol of transformation representing the journey from unconscious to conscious, from dark to light… a process of inner alchemy. She stands victorious, hands raised to the heavens, to the gods, to her inner god or goddess, in recognition and reclamation of her divine nature.
Like the lotus flower that rises through the dark mud, who seeking the light of the Sun unfolds her beautiful petals, the clay woman, woman of earth, integrates her body and spirit knowing that each part of herself forms the compost and soil upon which her unique flower will bloom.
Jung says,
“For the alchemist the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter […] His attention is not directed to his own salvation through God’s grace, but to the liberation of God from the darkness of matter.”
If the gods have become diseases and our disconnected system has “let loose psychic epidemics upon the world”, the goddess has become diseases too. Her absence is felt in the psycho- spiritual and psycho-biological conditions particular to the female body and soul; in the cancers that take root in the reproductive system and in birthing practices that disconnect from the first moments of life.
The liberation of the goddess from Dark Matter is a deep dive into the body- beginning with the womb- to release all that has been trapped, hidden, or cut off.
In systems where there is an over focus on economic growth, where time is money, and the earth is a resource to be cast aside when a new home to colonise is found (virtual or otherwise) there is little room for the unfolding of the human soul and much has been consigned to the unconscious.
Liberation from our own Dark Matter is a personal odyssey and each one is set upon a unique journey to reclaim him or herself from the unconscious.
To find ourselves, or parts of ourselves, even the divine parts of ourselves, buried in the Dark Matter of world and to redeem those parts is a victory.
