Your Substack always makes me feel so happy to be a woman and so confident in my femininity. I love your discussion of these poems, and this part at the end is so powerful: “If you do not bite into that which makes you feel alive and fills you with the Juice of Life, your life will be devoured by the mundane and it will amount to nothing but the hours passing.”

This was so beautifully written. I just love the way you write about the feminine in such a poetic, deeply feeling way — writing about the feminine in the ultimate feminine way. Lol

I’m writing a post about self possession as a woman right now, and this just captures so beautifully the sentiment I want to express — the beauty and magic and power that happens when a woman can see the divine in her, and the shadows and everything in between and just allow herself to be it. Allow others to behold it, instead of playing these shapeshifting games to get some sort of prize that pales in comparison to the feeling of being a self possessed woman (and all the magic that you invite with it). 🙏🏻

Powerful and liberating ✨ I sometimes hesitate when it comes to writing about rigid gender binaries, but this just feels like such a lovely tribute for the Feminine and feminine energy at large. Thanks for sharing :)
