(Note: Below is a Word Document that I created one year ago today. Same Quest, Quantum Questions.)
THE SACRED FEMININE TATTOO
a) a representation of each archetype embracing an image/ symbol of me
b) all archetypes coalesce into a composite image
Notes:
*’Shakti’ means life energy. The Bhagavad Gita says, “Without Shakti, Shiva is nothing.”
*The Sacred Feminine is seen as many things…:
Changing one,
She who denotes life death and rebirth.
She is fertile, Fecund one who ruts in the fields,
She is the Terrible one who devours and destroys,
She is the Loving arms and Nurturing breasts
And the sacred Yoni, the Transformative one.
