Thanks for sharing this, it's super interesting because I really think that in spirituality and Wicca we have a triple goddess that fits perfectly. An older woman, a middle-aged woman and a younger woman. There are also many comparisons with the future, present and past, some people think they are representations! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting insights when I consider how I am mothering myself, so thank you for that, Dea. Also, I look forward to the badass crone you will one day become (I am sure of it).
There is just so much in this post to unpack and integrate which I absolutely loved, thank you. I will be saving this post and revisiting it frequently as there is so much wisdom to be gathered. The one thing that really stood out for me after reading it was when you shared that we must speak to our creations as children. I am a Mother and whilst I speak to my children in a nurturing, loving way I have never really considered how I speak to my other creations, such as my writing or my business as a whole.
I realised that for a little while now I have not been particularly loving or nurturing to these creations and seeing them as separate to me, rather than as part of me. This one suggestion has completely shifted my perspective and has allowed me to see that nurturing and loving my writing and business are crucial to their well-being and success.
You embody it already – the grace that doesn't flinch and the fire that knows exactly when to burn and when to warm. Keep weaving this wild beauty into everything you touch.✨💛
Powerful post, a reread and then a reread again, which I plan on doing. It brings the mother/daughter dynamic to a whole new level! Notice the dividing mark - that's intentional.
The feminine archetypes live in us. Both good news and bad news. I write about them too, it's my favorite topic. And I loved, loved yours! 💜
Ahhh… your words are such a gift, truly. That you reread it, and plan to again - means more than I can say. And yes, the dividing mark… that was completely intentional. A breath. A threshold. A quiet, electric seam between sea and sky, between lifetimes, between mother and daughter. It carries the weight of what’s unsaid and the pulse of what’s eternal.
I’m deeply moved that you saw it. That kind of recognition doesn’t come from the eyes but from the soul. You felt the duende, the ache, the oceanic pull of archetype and inheritance… thank you for that!
And that you write about these feminine archetypes too… of course you do. Of course you know. That makes this resonance all the more sacred. I just subscribed to your newsletter, and I can't wait to read more of your brilliance. Thank you for meeting me in this depth and mirroring the magic back. 💜
This is the best reiteration of the Persephone and Demeter myth I’ve ever read. You’ve breathed life into a story that often comes off as dusty and given me a fresh way to look at it. I’m looking forward to trying the exercises!
This warmed my myth-loving heart: thank you for letting the old story come alive in your hands. There’s something so sacred in retelling, and your words made me feel it mattered 💫 Can’t wait to hear how the exercises land 🌺
Wow! So much wisdom and juice in this one! Feels like a cocktail in a huge jar you can tap and sip from over time. So many insights and practices to discover, embody and turn into gold. Thank you for this through exploration of our divine creation. ✨❤️🔥💃
Ahhh, your words are like a golden liqueur for the soul – rich, aromatic, and with just the right kick at the end! 🍸✨ Whoever stirred your heart got the perfect recipe for opulence, wisdom, and reading between the lines.
Thank you, magical soul, for feeling it all and wrapping it up like you were whispering straight to my inner goddess. 💃🫶
I need to have this entire article tattooed on my body. All of it. So many messages and so much to do. It is a divine kick up the arse with a warm, comforting hug attached. Thank you, thank you, thank you💕✨💕
Sighhhh....I've been a bit away from Substack reading and oh how I've missed you, your voice, your wisdom. Breathing this one in deeeeeeply, my beautiful sister. 💖
Sacred is indestructible. A sacred thing cannot be fragile. The drama of the Mediterranean culture is manipulative, stupid and without message, wisdom or guidance. Commercial societies are demonic and foolish.
You are both walking the same stones to me, from different perspectives. Stones are ultimate empty space which is indestructible. Stones are also vibrating and can be moved and levitated, even crushed. Some salt crystals even dissolve, like halite, I think. The sun shines unconditinally but she also has flares, is a portal and gets stormy sometimes. She is evolving too! The ultimate light that emerges from the empty space is invincible, indestructible, but all her forms experience vulnerability even as the oversoul’s holographic “image of Godness” is held beyond the laws of form as the sacred gift of our invincible unique expression of She Who Has no Name. My understanding is there is an intergalactic war that involves beings that have manipulated humanity for thousands of years. These beings don’t know how to be compassionate. They enslave humanity for curiosity and to learn in infantile and psychopathic ways through atrocities and rape consciousness. These archetypes to me do not reflect original humanity but that doesn’t mean people aren’t working through them. It’s a both/and as I see it. In a world where our epigenetics and even our genetics weren’t fucked up would individuation require being seduced by the dark? Is kidnapping the same as wild sexual expression that is free and owned and responsible to all parties as far as consent goes? Are young women more likely to be trafficked, raped and brought underground this more likely when there is an imbalance of either a helicopter mom or an absent one? Rape consciousness and the vulnerability of being fully human in a world designed to make us forget our invincible divine nature is often a dance of overprotective mothers AND absent or underprotective ones and girls who are either groomed/seduced or outright violated. To have one’s sexual desires tainted by the epigenetics of rape is itself a rape consciousness functioning. Loons mate for life; Dolphins have a family structure that supports all moms and have free love. There are lots of ways to approach healthy, balanced sexuality that honors our own nature and honors the others simpacted by our choices. A soul that knows its worth and doesn’t live in a slave matrix doesn’t need to be seduced by darkness. A soul who knows its worth and does live in a slave matrix-now dissolving also needn’t be seduced to be free to choose what aligns to their souls authentic expression. Anakin would not have been seduced had had the emotional intelligence to navigate his grief instead of being told to stuff it by the Jedi who were so afraid of strong feelings that the encouraged repression that got USED to seduce!

Yesss, it’s such a classic lens, right?
The Triple Goddess is like the sacred starter pack - timeless and totally on point 💫
But still, love that you felt the resonance and named it
Sometimes even the obvious truths sparkle when someone says them out loud
Thanks for chiming in and adding your magic to the mix 💛🌀🌕
Indeed! And thanks for sharing this knowledge ❤️❤️
Heartmelted 💛💛💛
Interesting insights when I consider how I am mothering myself, so thank you for that, Dea. Also, I look forward to the badass crone you will one day become (I am sure of it).
Ahhh, the future crone in me curtsies to the wise woman in you 💫
And yes, self-mothering is its own wild art form: thank you for reflecting that back to me.

So thank you xxx
Katie, thank you for this luminous comment – it landed like a blessing wrapped in velvet insight.
I’m touched by how deeply you received the message and made it your own.
May your creations – your words, your business, your visions – feel your renewed love and devotion, and bloom wildly because of it.
Here’s to your magic thriving, and your path unfolding with both grace and fire.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words xxx Blessings to you xxxx Grace and fire sounds like a beautiful combination right now! YES!
You embody it already – the grace that doesn't flinch and the fire that knows exactly when to burn and when to warm. Keep weaving this wild beauty into everything you touch.✨💛
I absolutely will ✨ thank you so much for your wisdom and guidance 🙏🏼💖

very interesting ❤️
Appreciate that, truly 💛
Dea, you have done it again! Outstanding.
Oh wow
That means the world to me
I’m honestly touched
blushing a little
and quietly smiling from the heart
Thank you for seeing me
and for saying it out loud 💛
I need to have this entire article tattooed on my body. All of it. So many messages and so much to do. It is a divine kick up the arse with a warm, comforting hug attached. Thank you, thank you, thank you💕✨💕
Honestly
your message deserves to be tattooed right next to that article
Thank you for feeling it so deeply
for wrapping fire and tenderness into one perfect sentence
and for making me smile like a grateful little storm cloud with good hair 💫💛
Sending sparkles, sass and the softest kick right back at you 🌀✨
You’re welcome! Keep writing. It’s medicine we all need.🌟
Your heart and presence… pure healing in motion 💛
Sighhhh....I've been a bit away from Substack reading and oh how I've missed you, your voice, your wisdom. Breathing this one in deeeeeeply, my beautiful sister. 💖
So happy to feel you back here, sister 💙
Your presence always brings warmth and sparkle. I’ve missed you: and now it all flows a little sweeter again 😊
You are so lovely!! 🥰
I switched my Substack notifications off when my inbox hit 12,000 unread emails. LOL!!
The trade-off is I have less unread emails, but I also visit Substack less and interact less.
Totally get it! Inbox zen vs. Substack love – the eternal dance 😄💛 Always happy when you drop by!
Ha! The eternal dance indeed! 💃
I sent you a DM, btw. Have a beauty day! ✨🤍
I just replied to your message now, after spending the whole day practicing exactly what you mentioned about stepping away from screens and inboxes
It was actually so nourishing
Your timing and your words around Substack were just perfect
Like a little nudge from the universe wrapped in love 💛🌀
Another fascinating article by a truly gifted writer/thinker/intuiter …
✨ Coming from you, that means the stars – thank you for seeing, feeling, and naming it so beautifully.
Aww shucks ... You betcha! ;-)
Sacred is indestructible. A sacred thing cannot be fragile. The drama of the Mediterranean culture is manipulative, stupid and without message, wisdom or guidance. Commercial societies are demonic and foolish.
Interesting perspective. I walk a different path: one where the sacred includes fragility, and nuance has more power than judgment. 🌿
For me sacred is steady as the sun and as solid as stones.

Alicia,
your words ripple like constellations moving through water: full of depth, memory, and vision
Thank you for weaving such a rich reflection
I hear the ache, the fire, the love
and the sacred longing for truth beneath it all
Here’s to remembering who we are
beyond control, trauma, and forgetting
and to walking with choice, soul and fierce grace 💛🌀🌿
I bow to the depth you carry.
And that’s beautiful: may your sun always shine steady, and your stones stay wise 🌞🪨
I’ll keep walking where fragility blossoms into strength
and silence teaches more than certainty
Different paths
same mystery 💫🌿
