Goddess Centered Practice

In the woods behind my house rest a collection of nine large flat rocks. Daily, I walk down to these “priestess rocks” for some sacred time alone to pray, meditate, consider, and be. Often, while in this space, I open my mouth and poetry comes out. I’ve come to see this experience as "theapoetics"—experiencing the Goddess through direct “revelation,” framed in language. As Stanley Hopper originally described in the 1970’s, it is possible to “…replace theology, the rationalistic interpretation of belief, with theopoetics, finding God[dess] through poetry and fiction, which neither wither before modern science nor conflict with the complexity of what we know now to be the self.” Theapoetics might also be described, “as a means of engaging language and perception in such a way that one enters into a radical relation with the divine, the other, and the creation in which all occurs.”

Reminder for Today

Posted by on in SageWoman Blogs

We inhabit a world
of unimaginable complexity
and here we are to see
and touch
and taste
and know it.
This is a fierce
and powerful magic.

    Molly,

    Great stuff! People say that small things amuse small minds, but they're very wrong.

    Creatures in the wild who lack the brainpower to recognize their own reflection, are filled with awe (and sometimes terror) by major natural events.

    It takes great minds to appreciate the wonder, and yes, magic in the truest sense of the word, of the 'small' things...like being aware of the mind-boggling complexity of existence.
