So, not sure how to word this correctly…but I’m looking to work with a spirit on basically being able to accept being a woman. My situation is complicated and I won’t get into much detail but I spent many years living as a trans man and now have decided to just live as a butch/masculine woman. This is a personal decision.
I’m wondering what spirit(s) might be able to help with self acceptance? I’m trying balance my masculinity with being born a woman basically, I don’t want to give up one for the other. Since I’ve had issues with people thinking I need to dress/be a certain way to be a woman (my dad). So also to build my confidence and not feel like I need to fit in.
I’m going to be honest. I do not understand the trans experience, nor do I plan to. But I feel like a man or woman has to be any one thing. Regarding gods and goddesses, you have some goddesses more linked to traditional feminimity (Aphrodite, Hestia, and Hera), and some who don’t (Hecate, Artimis, and Athena). I was born a male and identify as a male, but I tend to prefer male deities of knowledge, whom some may argue are not traditionally masculine. I don’t think you don’t need a goddess of a particular specialty. You just need to pick a god or goddess you relate to, one who represents the sort of woman you want to be. But that’s my opinion.
I’m no longer identifying as trans, that was my personal decision to just accept being female again. Which is why I’m looking more for a goddess that can help with that and not one for two spirit since I’m just trying to accept being female again. I was having a hard time finding a goddess that doesn’t seem traditionally feminine cause they all seem that way, even the ones associated with war and stuff.
“The vortex is known as the black and bloody waters, a pool of nocturnal, nightside, Infernal, feminine, lunar, sexual and even menstrual energies. Gathered around this pool are the hooded and cloaked partially nude bodies of the sisters, standing in unison as all phases of the moon shine their essence upon these waters. Their continuously chanting and churning these sacred and yet profane waters. This gateway is the opening directly into these waters which can be used in a variety of different ways for different reasons.”
If you work with mantras, find a book called healing mantras by Thomas Ashley Farrands it has a mantra for increasing feminine powers etc.
Though I forgot about the title and the author and it will take time for me to find a book, but there are some books which offer path working with female goddess to increase feminine energies etc. I remember something like unleash your feminine powers or something but search on Amazon you will find something!!
Thanks! I’ll check that out too. I suppose I could also ask whatever goddess/female spirit I choose to work with to help increase those energies as well. I don’t usually work with mantras, but I’ll try it.
What do you mean by feminity. Feminine energy or the stereotypes we associate with feminity?
My goal is to accept that I was/am born female. I don’t want to start presenting in a feminine manner. That would cause issues that were apart of my intial transition to begin with. I think a woman can be masculine or have mainly masculine energies?
