The warrior archetype is one I was born aligned with; in the one picture I've consistently seen of myself as a young infant, I'm staring right at the camera, fists raised like a boxer.
Only what was cute in a helpless baby was less cute in a child I guess. My family did their best to best that archetype out of me, with hands as well as words. I'm ashamed to say it worked, and worked so well other abusive people latched onto that wound, dug their own fingers and words into it, and did their best to pull it out of me. Make me into an empty shell they can fill up with themselves, a servant doll of their own making for their own use.
But that ember of the Warrior Goddess never died out. Dim, it stayed in my chest, burning so softly even I thought it had been snuffed out. With Neptune entering Aries, though, that ember is growing in strength, fed by the re-emergence of my soul and its strength. My work for the next decade is to reclaim my fire and will. I look forward to reading more about the Warrior archetype!
Wow willow I bow to your strength in this open share! Thank you for letting me see this side of you which really highlights how important the warrior archetype is and how vital it is to revive it!
I will share more about the different facets of the morrigan, the connection between destruction, ecstasy and prophecy and the fights worth fighting for. Which are always coming down to picking up our inner sword for creation instead of our own destruction. I hope next weeks post will support your flame in growing into a hearth fire!
