Soul Size…

Soul Size…
As we journey with the first Mythic Beauty Type of Beauty Potion, the Maiden, I’ve been looking back at old photos of me in what should have been my peak Maiden era, one of innocence, wonder, joy, and, dreams.
And yet, this was back in my martial arts day when my biceps were one of the biggest parts of me (seen here but they were HUGE when tensed)… The Wild Woman was viscerally embodied in my ferocity, vitality, strength, and speed.
She was actually way more present than the Maiden who I’d been shown it wasn’t safe to be - I was unknowingly deep in the Beauty Wound back then - so the south paw with a gritted jaw came out swinging to protect her pure sweet heart.
But what I didn’t know then, was as Walt Whitman said, (and then later sung by Dylan)…
“Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)”
Over the course of Beauty Potion, we will journey with 7 Mythic Beauty Types… And I foresee that all of them will speak to all 12 women in all kinds of soul-stirring ways. Even the women who currently believe that the Enchantress or maybe the Mystic are off limits to them.
When we limit ourselves to only this role or that, because it feels safer, more welcome, more acceptable, what’s fair, what’s possible… We innocently reduce ourselves to fit into smaller-than-life stereotypes.
But when we reclaim and inhabit our full inner and outer beauty - which is to embody all the archetypes that call to us - that is when we can expand to our true soul size.
(And my dear, know that you too contain multitudes, whether you know it now or not.)

P.S. This round of Beauty Potion is full and in flow… I don’t know when I will run it again, but I already know I can’t deny all the women called to heal the Beauty Wound. The Goddess knew what she was doing when she simply told me “It’s time for you to teach women about Beauty.” And so I went in Maidenesque joyous, wide-eyed, and innocent to what I was being called into. I’ve only realised belatedly that I’ve touched a sciatic-sized nerve with this work. But she also showed me the very medicine - the Beauty Potion - to heal it. ♥️
