The Return of the Feminine

http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/faculty/jewitt/holmes.html

 I mentioned this strange acting  comet before in ‘Madeleine as Cinderella’.  It really does get stranger by the day and one of the more bizarre aspects is that few mainstream media outlets have even mentioned it, yet its dust cloud is now larger than the Sun. It’s not like this happens every year let alone every day, so why the silence?

 Astrologer Yasmin Boland sees this wonder in the sky as a sign of  The Return to Feminine Wisdom. (Gina, it’s no coincidence your painting ‘The Return’  is only now being completed). I see the rise in interest in Mary Magdalene and the Grail as being part of this re-membrance of the Feminine and hints of this can be seen in the recent documents released about the Knights Templars, long associated with Mary Magdalene: A tad late but seven centuries after the secretive medieval order the Knights Templar was destroyed under charges of heresy, the Vatican’s Secret Archives has now unveiled a book confirming their innocence.

This strange comet as previously mentioned is currently in the constellation of  Perseus, and as Yasmin states:

  In legend, Perseus killed Medusa and held aloft her head. Medusa, though, was once synonymous with sovereign feminine wisdom. Some scholars believe the patriarchal Greeks demonised her by depicting her as an ugly Gorgon. The new bright explosion in the realm of Perseus may therefore portend the redress of an ancient imbalance. If so, expect a time when strong, wise women reclaim spiritual and political leadership.

In the Perseus constellation  the star Algol is often seen as the EYE or head of Medusa. Medusa’s name comes from the Sanskrit Medha, which means ’sovereign feminine wisdom,’ and is another name for the Goddess Sarawasti who revealed language – speech and writing – to humans, and who rules over science, music and the arts. I only came across this Medusa/Sarawasti connection today- by coincidence, yesterday, I was unpacking a box from my move back home from Thailand and came across a wooden wall hanging of Sarawasti that I’d bought on trip to Bali.

Astrologer, Yasmin tells us:

 ”This star seems to contain immense female passion and power. It is the power of the feminine or the potential power of Mother Nature, not to be called evil for being strong.” In that way, Algol is perhaps mostly about the power to create.

Medusa is one of the so-called powerful Dark Goddesses…

“The Dark Goddess… nurtures a strength, a fierce love that is purifying, liberating and creative. She knows the wisdom of the ages… (She) knows the necessity of the journey into her inner terrain, to face with open eyes our deepest fears.

I don’t quite know where I’m going with all this, but I find it interesting that our Sun is considered to represent the Masculine Principle in conventional astrology. If Comet Holmes does represent the return of the Feminine Principle then isn’t it fascinating and wonder-full that its size is now equal to that of the Sun? How’s that for a perfect re-balancing?
