PART THREE

Grounding

As I go into her, she pierces my heart. When I have reached her center, I am weeping openly. I have known her all my life, yet she reveals stories to me, and these stories are revelations and I am transformed.

Susan Griffin

Until women can visualize the sacred female they cannot be whole and society cannot be whole.

Elinor Gadon

As I left the museum and walked out onto Trafalgar Square. I had the sense that a new season of my journey was beginning. After a year and a half of initiation—moving with the tumultuous rhythms of dying and rebirth—it was time to ground myself in a new feminine place.

You know how you feel when you get off a boat that has been pitching around on the sea and the ground still seems to be moving under your feet? Inwardly I felt like that. I’d traversed a body of experience, riding the roils and swells of change, and while much change still remained, I’d moved through enough initiation that I could begin to anchor myself in the new place where I’d arrived.

I leaned against the massive lion statue in front of the museum while Sandy snapped a picture. Things around us swirled—people hurrying, London traffic jostling around the square, flurries of pigeons taking to the sky. It only heightened my sense of need to become grounded and moored. To meet that need, I knew I needed to sink my roots deep into Sacred Feminine experience, to deepen and fortify my budding relationship with my new female self and the Divine Feminine.
