Sometimes we experience this as having parts of our lives we have relied on taken from us such as health, relationships, emotional stability and status. When we undertake a journey towards the Dark Goddess much that we have accumulated is stripped away. Then, as everything falls apart around us, we are forced to begin the search for understanding and change. Eventually it gets too much and all of a sudden we are swamped collapsing under stress, illness, emotional crisis, overwork or an outright disbelief that this could be our life. Often we prefer to ignore that awareness, that small voice, that feeling of something awry and we’re capable of ignoring it for quite a long time. When this awareness arises we may set off to investigate it. They begin with an awareness, a feeling that something in our lives is not quite right. Some of us spend years down there, in a shadowy, inner realm known as the Underworld.Įach journey to the Dark Goddess is different, yet the pattern of journeys remains the same. Sometimes we make this journey consciously, but all too often we find ourselves on the path without knowing how we got there, what to do or how to get out.
In a journey to the Dark Goddess we travel deeply into ourselves, seeking answers to difficulties, strength in a crisis, and healing or change when we have become stuck. It leaves us disconnected from the full range of the feminine divine and estranged from much of our ability to change and grow. Although each of us is familiar with her roles of wicked witch, the crone, the bad mother, the hag and the winter queen, we don’t always remember her other face of compassion, healing and rebirth. The Dark Goddess is a mysterious and hidden figure.
