Description

I uploaded this on my main account but I'll divulge the story behind it here.

In paganism, the branch of Wicca mostly, it is frustrating that the image of God is often cast aside in favour of the Goddess. IMHO the Horned One is to be celebrated, but then I am fervent seeker of absolute balance and fairness in life. If the Goddess was pushed aside I would likely be singing her praises.

Anyway, while the roles and symbolism of the Lord and Lady are clear cut into tidy boxes to me it seems as restraining as the patriarchy of Christianity. Men must be this and women must be this.

Like the yin yang symbol, there resides some of the opposite in each part. Neither women nor men should be boxed respectively by society by such stupid expectations. Why is a woman's femininity dimmed if she admires power or physical strength? Why are men scorned for daring to show emotions when they are in pain? Why is a gentle disposition seen as weak?

There are women who are comfortable in a pair of jeans and a sweater, who never touched a pair of high heels in their life. They might love wrestling, or football, and not faking interest for attention or approval. They love video games, maybe they become mothers who play in the dirt and climb trees with their kids. Maybe they're not mothers at all. Maybe they're stunningly beautiful and are managers with high salaries, or maybe they're a little eye shadow and a pony tail at the local gardening center.

None of these things should make them less of a woman.

So here is a celebration of in Wicca terms, those of us who embrace the whole of what we are:

I am courage, I am strength, I am honor, I am kindness, I am love, I am gentleness.
