Years ago, I was invited to join a wonderful women’s circle that was all about celebrating the divine feminine. We were asked to bring something to the circle to share with the other women. Some brought crystals, there were some tribal beads, and one woman brought drums and danced a ceremonial Native American rave. I brought chocolate and martinis.

The discussions were powerful, the women were intelligent, the snacks were delicious – well, mine was. I worked to release my uptight notions about religious purity and loosened up my bonds of perception. I turned up my spiritual iTunes and allowed my divine stagnation to take a break.

Understanding goddess energy within each of us can help us discover our own innate gifts and abilities. It might even lead to a new path of self-discovery.

See if you can relate to any of these spiritual gals:

Kali –represented by the color red and our root chakra. If your self-confidence is under threat, her energy can help. According to ancient Hindu tradition, Kali is the mother of all of us. She possesses strong willpower and penetrative insight. She can guide you to a new fulfilling path.

Hathor-represented by the color orange and the womb chakra or lower abdomen. Hathor was revered as the ancient Queen of Heaven, the patron of dancers, the mother of gypsies, and the generator of radiant power. She is a shape-shifter and has the ability to transform your confidence and accept change.

Pele– represented by the color yellow and our solar plexus chakra, our personal power. Pele is said to be the Hawaiian goddess whose spirit dwells inside the largest active volcano in Hawaii. This energy is helping us to be energetic, recharge, and revitalize. Pele helps us cut through denial and channel our energy in a rewarding way.

Kuna Yin– represented by the color green or pink and the heart chakra. Kuan Yin energy can help with issues of self-acceptance that prevent a sense of peace and balance. The Chinese goddess of love and compassion, Kuan Yin is a complex energy full of unconditional love. She reminds us to look after ourselves.

Athena-represented by light blue and our throat chakra which is related to communication, creativity, and healing. Athena was a beautiful warrior queen who stood guard over the ancient city of Athens. Her energy encourages us to have a no-fear attitude, to be tough, independent, and resourceful, but not to be afraid to ask and accept help when needed.

Isis-represented by indigo and our third eye chakra. This energy helps see both physically and intuitively and to see all things clearly. Isis, the Egyptian high priestess ruled with love and patience. Her energy tells us to gather strength, trust our inner wisdom, which will lead us in the right direction.

Nuit-represented by purple and our crown chakra brings in the energy of understanding, cosmic consciousness, and enlightenment. To access deep understanding, self-knowledge, and wisdom, use Nuit. This Egyptian goddess is the bridge between heaven and earth. She represents universal oneness, bliss, and love.

I left the women’s circle feeling sassy and scared and I learned a great deal about goddess energy, which I didn’t even know existed. Now in moments of panic and in the face of unending need, I think about the characteristics of these goddesses, and I know that there is a reservoir of clarity and strength somewhere deep inside of me. Fortunately, we all have an inner goddess, ready to help us, eager to share her wisdom. To find her, slow down, get quiet, go within. You will feel her in your heart, and your gut, in your blood, and in your bones. Spend time connecting with her. She may share with you ways to find your inner compass or tell you how to create the life you want. You can connect with her anytime you want to, whenever you need to. Her wisdom is your wisdom. If you still can’t find her, offer up some chocolate and a martini that always seems to help me.
