In the beginning...


In the Beginning, before blogs, before computers, before civilisation, the first artist made the first creative mark. my guess was that artist was Lilith. [read "Daughter of Night: A tale of three worlds" by Lydia Obukhova].

Since Lilith, the original mother, many daughters have inherited the innate desire to create. To bring forth beauty, expression, ideas and to perpetuate them into the future through our daughters.

Our deep creative wisdom is often flawed, hidden or forgotten- since a society developed with masculine ideals and the sacred feminine beaten back into depths, darkness.

For many the journey into motherhood brings these memories to the fore, inspiring women to create. This is why BIRTH is so sacred, this is why the midwives were hunted.
Birth, the sacred feminine, the glorious journey of transformation, has been slowly stolen from the women and is largely forgotten. But for the dwindling Number of women who do have a natural birth these forgotten pathways open- though they may not understand the transformation, these woman are changed.

You may think you are not artistic, or creative, but awaken the deep memory of Lilith and forget the prescribed notions of "art", and discover your Gifts.
