I am not a Goddess

The New Age movement loves to call women Goddesses. This is a concept I cannot relate to. I actually recoil internally when I hear the words.  To call oneself a Goddess feels too limiting, tor defined, too rigid.  While I have never related to the idea of being a Goddess, I can definitely relate to the idea of embodying Goddess, or feminine, energy. It’s why I use my whole body to comfort. It’s why I love to touch the skin of my husband and children. It’s why my body loves the woods and dancing.  It’s why I feel energy in my body in constellation work. I embody feminine energy, but I do not define myself exclusively by it.  Because I also embody masculine energy. I carry, hold, express, live both.  To identify with one external image feels like choosing, rejecting, the totality of all that I am.  And this I cannot do.
