When I was a child, I loved my statue of Mother Mary. When I received the statue of Mother Mary on my first communion, I was almost in tears. From an early age, I needed to connect with the feminine aspects of Christianity.

Every Sunday, my family would go to church. I saw the Father (the priest) but no Mother. The church has been out of balance for hundreds of years because they will not allow women to be priests.

When I was a child, I wrote letters to God. And then, each week, I would go to the empty church and hide my letters in the hymn books or behind pictures.

As an angry teenager, I searched the Bible for passages about women. To my dismay, the Bible has a negative view of women, and there are only a few passages. Therefore, reading the Bible only brought more frustration and disconnection from God.

Now, so many years later, I am putting the puzzle together. There are many missing pieces in the Bible. But now, with a new consciousness, I can see the feminine in the Bible and the Catholic Church.

The world desperately needs a Mother. Every human being on this planet has a mother and a father. The spiritual world has yin and yang. Hinduism has Sakti and Siva. And the Bible has Adam and Eve. We also have Christ (consciousness) and Sophia (wisdom).

It is time to bring back the Divine Feminine to her rightful place in the world as a Goddess. The Godhead is Mother and Father – just like on Earth.

There’s a lot of feminine symbolism in the Bible and the Catholic Church. I wish I had realized the symbology earlier in my life.

There is feminism in the symbolism in the cross, on the altar, statues, artwork, and in the Bible. I find it everywhere when I look at the Catholic Church. So, why is Divine Feminine hidden in Christianity? Why is the Gospel of Mary Magdalene not taught?

The simple explanation is the Catholic Church wants to have power and control over women.

In this blog post, I will discuss the cross. According to Bede Griffiths (spiritual guru and monastic theologian), the word ruach is the Hebrew word for “spirit,” which is grammatically feminine. He continues to say that later the words “Holy Spirit” means Mother or Sophia.

Therefore, during the Sign of the Cross, the fingers touch the forehead (third eye chakra) for Father. And the fingers touch the solar plexus for Son, and for the Holy Spirit (Mother), the fingers touch the left and right shoulders (yin and yang).

The Holy Spirit is also in the Trinity. “The Holy Spirit could well be considered the feminine Person in the Trinity, the Mother, because the Spirit is a principle of receptivity and giving, of receiving love and sharing or reflecting it in an unlimited way,” Griffiths says.

According to the Gnostic Gospels (Secret Book According to St John), the triadic figure is: Father, Mother, and Son.

Griffiths says the Church represents an old woman. Someone asked Griffiths why this is so. And the answer is that she was created before all else. Griffiths said, “The world was created for her.”

Namaste.
