      The Wound of Excluded Feminine Divinity

      The speaker explores the emotional impact of divine feminine elements being removed from Judeo-Christian narratives, specifically referencing the exclusion of Asherah. This removal is described as a collective wound that creates polarization and prevents the reflection of divinity within one's culture. The text argues that acknowledging and healing this absence is necessary to restore feminine archetypes to the collective story.

      • The removal of divine sacred elements and the prohibition of certain worship practices evoke a feeling of deep grief.
      • Asherah, historically considered the consort of Yahweh, was removed and forbidden in Judaism and Judeo-Christian religions.
      • The absence of feminine archetypes in traditional spirituality leads to a lack of personal and collective reflection of divinity.
      • Healing this specific wound is essential to stop polarization in how creation occurs.
      • The speaker emphasizes the need to bring back and speak to these excluded feminine aspects.
