When each day is sacred
when each hour is sacred
when each instant is sacred
earth and you
space and you
bearing the sacred through time
you'll reach
the fields of light
The Task from selected poems by, Guillevic
A Work in Progress
Chariklo (Graceful Spinner) raises the question of how we take care of the masculine without harming ourselves. The ways in which we have been taught to serve men is greatly out of balance. As we have lost touch with our feminine power as women we have been forced to compensate by trying to fulfill an impossible social ideal that drains us and can leave us feeling bitter and resentful.
She knows of a different way. A way that can truly heal and honour the masculine, touching his heart, body and soul and elevating his spirit beyond the restrictive confines of an equally oppressive masculine cultural condition.
Chariklo’s gift teaches us that we are free to receive and surrender to the wisdom of the masculine and his ability to heal us, and at the same time serve the masculine- a symbiosis that facilitates a profound healing for both.
She is the feminine principle that can heal the wounded masculine not through judgement, criticism, rejection, and emasculation but through love, receptivity, compassion and a feminine wisdom that transcends duality.
She helps us to heal the core wounds of disconnection and separation transmuting them into a feminine Christ consciousness. She is one of the light bearer goddess archetypes and can deprogram our over-loaded, fragile minds returning us to a state of embodied mysticism- the mystery of spirit and matter. The body dies without spirit and the spirit is homeless without a body.
In her original form Chariklo is a water nymph who shapeshifts into a Centaur- a chimera of half woman, half horse. This blend tells us that she is still fully in touch with her primal instincts as well as her spiritual feminine essence. Her ability to shift from one state to another also reveals her shamanic abilities.
She is the receptive feminine principle, fluid and life giving in accordance with natural cycles, the moon, and the higher spiritual laws beyond man-made laws and desires. She does not judge. She is not Kali whose purpose, like Pluto, is to transform at all cost, rather her power is the power of love and a deep wisdom of the cosmic principles. - gnosticwoman.com
