The Dark Feminine Compendium

For some of us the Dark Feminine weighs like a thick dark cloak pressing shoulders down into discomfort, while for others she shines an obsidian mystery in the folds of fertile soil and damp caves, pulling forth a reverend curiosity. No matter what feeling she provokes in you, she requires attention.

The Dark Feminine is a dynamic feminine considered dark because she lives at the hedge of our consciousness. Here she walks, prowls, dances, slides and slithers. While she is at home at the fringes, she also enjoys center stage.

This series will be just about that. A troubadour love poem to the life force that is the Dark Feminine, the essence that flows underneath everything, and while often invisible to the human eye, fragrant in her omnipresence. We will look for her in art (history) and story, science and society, as well as our own lives through dreams, creativity and relationships. We will sit in waiting – watching the moment when she steps from that great luminous darkness into our light of consciousness – with the intent, as she molds into the mundane, to revive what lies asleep in our bones.
