I’ve heard it explained that the Madonna/Whore part of the split is precisely aligned with the split we make up between immanence and transcendence. In a world where the mind is king and only the light is to be sought after, the body and the dark, dripping wetness of womens sexuality is maligned and despised. This paradigm does not acknowledge the humble fact that life will always CYCLE between the two.
Have you heard of Maya Luna at the Deep Feminine Mystery School? She’s got a class coming up that looks amazing and speaks very much to this topic.
Great piece, Katie.
