The Great Womb of Creation, the preexistent birther of All, was once known as the Great W***e.

In the Semitic languages of the Middle East, hor meant “cave” or “womb.” She was also known as a harlot—a “Womb of Light.”

It is time to remember and reclaim the beauty and sanctity of our inner w***e, our inner harlot, our Great Womb of Light—the original Holy Feminine.

In Hebrew the word horaa meant “instruction” and the word hor meant “light.” In fact, it was from these holy hor word roots that the Torah, the Old Testament, took its name.

The Womb of Light was always known as the lawgiver, the teacher, the enlightener, the light bearer.

Horasis was the ancient Greek word for Womb Enlightenment, often bestowed through the sexual union of man and woman. In the Bible, horasis was used to describe an oracular, ecstatic vision.

Throughout the world, we discover these feminine womb words at the foundation of spiritual worship—root words such as her, har, hor, hera, hara, and hero. In ancient Babylon, Ishtar was called the Great Goddess Har, Mother of Harlots. Her high priestess, the Harine, was considered the spiritual ruler of the city of Ishtar.

In the indigenous Huichol tradition of Mexico, the name for the primordial grandmother goddess of the ocean is Haramara: Womb Mother. We also find these root words, sequestered like magical pearls, inside words such as chariot, chorus, charm, and harmony.

The word charis, the name the holy men of India—devotees of Shiva-Shakti—give to the entheogens they smoke, means “goddess” or “menstrual blood,” and is also the root of the Christian word eucharist.

Following the same magical threads, the Greek words christ or chrism, meaning “the anointed one” or “the anointing oil,” are a contracted form of the words charist and charism, which blooms out into the word charisma, describing an “anointed” or “christed” person filled with the enchanting, magnetic feminine light of the blessed Cosmic Womb.

Moon blood was known to be the original blessing, gifted from the wise womb of woman. Chrism is the soul of the flesh, the golden serpent of life force. The Christ is Shakti, our primordial life energy.

In ancient Sumeria, the sacred sexual temple priestesses were called Sal-Me, meaning “divine yoni women.”

Sal was the Sumerian word for both woman and yoni, and Me meant sacred, having divine properties. Sal-Me is the origin of the name Salome, which described a female sexual initiate of the Womb Mysteries.

The Sumerian concept of the me appears frequently in Enheduana’s (Written to Inanna) poems, including in the opening words of the Exaltation:“Lady of all me.” Though it is often translated “cosmic powers” or the like, it has no direct English equivalent; and though it is a central element in Sumerian cosmology, experts have yet to reach a full understanding of its meaning.

It was Salome, as a sacred womb priestess, who performed the mystical dance of the seven veils, for which she was later demonized. In ancient Sumeria, the pictogram of the v***a was called sal, and was the sister of the Hebrew daleth—the downward-pointing triangle, symbolizing the yoni, as the cosmic gateway.

The original teaching of salvation referred to the primordial redemption of consciousness, experienced through the shamanic return to the spiritual Great Womb of the Yoni-Mother.

Isis, as the Queen of Heaven, was known by her devotees as the savior—she who bestowed the healing feminine balm, poured lovingly from the center of all creation, the great Cosmic Womb.

In ancient Sumerian texts, the Goddess Inanna’s boat of heaven is compared to her wondrous v***a, meaning that the title of the Queen of Heaven (attributed to Inanna, Isis, and the Virgin Mary) could also be interpreted as the queen of the v***a or the queen of the womb.

This Womb of God lives at the root of all religion. The opening Hebrew words of Genesis, B’rash*th, are usually translated as “In the beginning,” but there is a deeper and more occult meaning that has been lost, or deliberately obscured, which is translated as “In the Womb,” referring to the cosmic feminine generative force that birthed all creation from her primordial Cosmic Womb.

Likewise, apocalypse means the “revealing of the womb,” and comes from the word root calypso, which means that which is covered, concealed, hidden in the “chalice” or “cauldron”—ancient symbols of the womb.

In Russian folk traditions there are feminine mystery teachings preserved in stylized, symbolic embroideries of rozhentsas, archaic birth mothers, also called “original mothers.”

These artisan teachings show a female body in a birthing position with arms and legs outstretched. The yoni is depicted with an X at the center of a womb cross—also the sacred symbol of the Cathars. Often interpreted as a solar symbol, the cross was first the womb gateway of the Mother of Life.

Our mythical origins whisper with many lost allusions to the forgotten Sacred Feminine; and as she was stripped from our lives, she was also stripped from our language and our consciousness.

By reclaiming our holy feminine language, we begin to rebirth the lost goddess back into our psyche—and into our world. We are redreaming our cosmology—a new, yet ancient, way of perceiving the horizons and landscapes of creation.

The vast wealth of knowledge of this ancient cosmology, often oral, has been lost and destroyed as the war against the feminine realms has been ferociously waged. The libraries may have been destroyed, but the memory lives on within our magical feminine DNA.

Devotion starts tonight. At lunch time I talk with .eros about female erotic aliveness (she is LUSH, this will be fun). And the New Era is here, are you ready to start building it?
You bring it through in your words, your actions, where you place your attention, how you spend your money, where you give your love and devotion. Stepping out of fear; into discernment and love.
Your body is the centre of the axis mundi.
YOU bring it all through.
Your Love is centre.
Are you ready?

*Gemini Sun trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius and sextile Vesta in Aries (5 deg)
*Pluto Rx sextile Vesta (5 deg)
*Mars in Ta**us square Pluto Rx (5 deg)

Sun/Pluto is power that flows easily, due to a specific choice and piece of information. Confidence increases as you're naturally drawn towards a subject and mode of communication that's different from your previous choices.

The Sun and Pluto's sextiles to Vesta in Aries confirm you're on the right track via a sense of increased devotion- you know, without words and beyond logic, that this is special. This path, this thing you're learning, is a potent matter that must be fuelled. It feels sacred because it is and there's no question that you're going to pour all your purpose into it.

However, Mars (ruler of Aries) makes a hard square to Pluto Rx. So here's the simmering anger due to blocked actions or resistance to change. You want to do things your way or you're clinging to something but the bigger-than-you force is relentless.

Resistance and insistence are (in this case) damaging. Because Pluto always wins. The transformation in your physical environment is happening, like it or not. Pluto Rx's harmony to the Sun and Vesta encourages you to make a choice regarding your personal transformation - that shift in your purpose and focus. Don't fight it - go with what you already know is sacred. Accept that something you own or are fighting to preserve is outdated/dying.

A Mars/Pluto square can sometimes indicate violence and cruelty, so keep your eyes open for a power struggle that intensifies to the point of survival. Conscious actions (Mars) are attempting to suppress inevitable evolution and this leads to an explosion you never saw coming. For example, the patient, placid individual suddenly erupts with frightening energy.

Monday’s cosmic weather is no joke.
The Sun in Gemini first squares the nodal axis, creating a kind of karmic crossroads moment around information, perception & direction. With the North Node in Pisces & the South Node in Virgo, we’re collectively navigating the tension between over-analysis & deeper intuition, between endless mental noise & actual inner knowing. Gemini can amplify distraction, conflicting narratives, nervous system overload & the feeling of too many voices speaking at once. But this transit also asks us to stay curious rather than rigid with our perspectives.

The larger force rumbling beneath the day is Mars in Ta**us squaring Pluto in Aquarius at 5°.

This is one of the more intense planetary aspects we can experience, and collectively it can feel like a pressure cooker building steam beneath the surface. Mars in Ta**us is already frustrated energy - action slowed by resistance, survival instincts heightened, tensions simmering around money, security, resources, the body & stability itself. Pluto in Aquarius is exposing deeper fractures within systems, power structures, technology, collective dynamics & the psychological undercurrents moving through society right now.

When these two collide in a square, buried anger, exhaustion, control struggles & long-standing pressure can suddenly surface. People may feel more reactive, defensive, territorial, or emotionally combustible. Situations that have quietly been building for months may finally reveal where the true breaking point has been.

But Pluto transits aren’t only about destruction. They expose where energy has become trapped, stagnant, or unsustainable.

And with Mars in Ta**us, the answer isn’t panic or escalation. It’s grounding. Returning to the body. Protecting your nervous system. Becoming conscious of where your energy is being drained by fear, conflict, overexposure, or survival mode itself.

There is something about this transit that feels important collectively. A realization that certain ways of living, coping, consuming, fighting, or carrying pressure simply cannot continue indefinitely.

And my hope is that this awareness alone can become the beginning of change.
