Divine Feminine- what do you think it means?

Lately, I am seeing a lot of media surrounding the divine feminine and what they think it means. A lot of crap from xianity and muslims.
Masculine = doing. Feminine = being.
A lot of women giving dating advice to other women to be passive and allow the man to approach, otherwise he will be in his "feminine energy" (passive).
To believe themselves so valuable that their time and energy is worth the man covering for entirely. If a man doesn't pay for you he doesn't believe in your worth.

I am unsure what to think on these matters because personally, I believe if I had never approached a man myself, I wouldn't have dated anybody in my life, or dated somebody that I wanted to. Most men you approach as a woman will say yes. Most men will pay half (or even in full) if you ask. Most guys that have approached me, I would not date.

I am also not entirely a traditionalist and not dating to start a family, I expect my man to ideally cover half expenses and half chores. As well as handle other things in life maturely. I expect him to have ambition, and other positive things, just as I do.

When I picture the Gods, they do not stand idly by and wait for good things. They take charge of their reality and we follow their lead.

What do you think? Do you agree, disagree? What is your personal experience with this?
 
This dating advice is simple cookie-cutter nonsense that wants to make one size fit all, based on an unnatural idea of sameness. First off the human soul regardless of whether being man or woman possesses masculine and feminine energy and some will be more organically dominant in one energy than the other and will usually attract someone else who is the opposite. Some women prefer what would be called a traditional feminine dating role while others do not fit so well into this. Men, depending on their own elemental makeup may or may not prefer this. Some find it refreshing and attractive if a woman takes initiative. It depends on the person.

I think new age dating advice tries to assign alot of flowery language to behaviors & principles that do not necessarily mean what they think it means.

When I think of "divine feminine", I think of the energy that I felt when I did Astarte's ritual. Soft, kind, receptive, magnetic, inviting, gentle, graceful, loving and refined. Maternal. I think it's fair to say that the energy of Ares' ritual could be considered divine masculine. Honorable, dignified, secure, strong, steady, motivating, driven, guiding. Paternal. Especially considering that Astarte is Venus, and Ares is Mars. I believe the signs these planets are dignified in also reflect different parts of the spectrum of femininity and masculinity.

Adding onto this I think if there is genuine desire, especially on the part of women, then they will pursue a man. This could be in a direct or indirect way. Being feminine doesn't have to mean making men put in all the effort. One could be initiating, or one could be inviting. Both are active forms of pursuing a partner, only different approaches - electric or magnetic.

But I also think that the nature of the sexes is such that men will be resentful if they tend to take the backseat and women will be resentful if they tend to have to take the lead. Exceptions to this are uncommon.

We believe men and women have both energies.Both masculine and feminine.You can read it in the library section.
What social media is talking about is extremely unattractive and stupid.

Women should not ever get angry🤡women should not vote🤡women should not have a right to get divorce🤡Rape should be allowed in marriage🤡women should not work🤡Women should not have sex before marriage🤡 Women should not be smart🤡🤡🤡🤡 Women should not be strong🤡Women should not talk🤡🤡🤡🤡 Women should not wear pants🤡No abortion rights even if you may die during giving birth or were raped🤡🤡🤡All you have to do is to smile pretty and shut up🤡🤡🤡

These stupid things are not femininity.These things are just worthlessness.Femininity doesnt mean be worthless and weak and stupid.

I believe there is a lot of useful and amazing sermons about this in Joy Of Library of Thoth section that could be more useful than what we can tell you.
 
Interesting and helpful insights, everyone. I have made the mistake of false ideas in the past (trying to be "feminine" or thinking I was transgender because I couldn't keep myself in that box).

I was wondering, though, is it sometimes that "like attracts like" in relationships, that some people are attracted to those with a similar polarity of "masculine/feminine" (regardless of the sexes of the individuals)?
 

Huh, I had a similar experience growing up actually. I guess you could have called me a tomboy?
Forcing myself to do anything I didn't want to do never worked out for me well either. I did however pick up some new skills associated with femininity like makeup and it's incredibly powerful/transformative. I can use it for magic work (glamour) as well.
I just think people are so much hotter when they accept who they are and are so genuine to that. I bet you are a force to be reckoned with :)

Now that you have figured yourself out I am pretty confident you have no trouble finding a suitable partner, much less if you decide to use magick for that goal as well.

Thank you henu :). Work in progress.

That's exactly how I grew up.
I do wear some minimal make up and sometimes nail polish but for the most part I'm butch af :lol:

Make up is nice in good taste and should be used to enhance not hide. I talked to a girl not too long ago who looked beautiful at first glance but her face was caked in foundation. Sure enough it hid alot of sun damage. IPL ftw :p.
 
Divine Feminine and Masculine are just concepts that are allegories used to explain a Spiritual process.

It is basically the explanation of Duality and the Union of Opposites. Ida and Pigala ,Right brain and left brain ,Shiva and Shakti ,Energy and Consciousness. And an infinite number of things.

They don't refer to actual males and females. The Ancient peoples just took the very basic act of Sex between a man and a woman and used it to explain the Yogic process.

You can only be Divine by Yogic processes and not anything else.

Basic Masculinity and Femininity are social behaviors associated with the different genders because of their differences. They just refer to averages and not absolutes.

I remember you mentioned to have a relationship with a demon couple?

Noooo. I've never been polyamorous. I did a ritual to asked to be brought up for a Demon that I then attempted to relate to. Then something happened and I thought it was them showing themself to me in a different way. But this was simply minds way of showing me something that was suppressed and always there...although I do believe the Gods might have helped lead me to this, as before I started to notice something something happened the night before. And I wondered if it had to do with the ritual I had done. As if I was being shown the answer to something that I myself wasn't recognizing.

In the past when i did this ritual when I got something mixed up withy guardian (which happened for a different reason entirely although at first misinterpreted) I had a recurring dream with a woman holding me. Something in my mind in the dream and when I woke felt like being told "this is more suited to you" but I bulked at it at first. I remember looking at Satan's sigil as I woke repeating frantically I'm not gay I'm not gay! Looks like I lied to myself. 99% anyway. 1 percent of men can be the exception. But most of them are gay.

The Gods know us better than ourselves. Satan will not pair us with someone who he knows will probly not match us or he might want us to become more aware of certain aspects of ourselves first which makes us even better in the long run if we are actually to have something like this so that we may contemplate much better what we want and need when enough dross clears.

This felt like the answer to my ritual when I asked to be brought up for a Demon. The answer is not always a default yes. And for good reason.

As I me, the gods sent me signals for a long time that a certain person she was not suitable for me as a couple and now I have been confirmed that I have a soulmate of past lives, but I also have to solve blockages and problems of self -esteem, for example I have never seen myself attractive.

Look up and read "sexuality and the metaphysical" in Library of Thoth.
 
You cannot make ants behave like birds. You cannot make a mushroom behave like a tree. You cannot make a horse behave like a human. You may do these things for 5 minutes, but in the end, each and everyone of humans on this planet, even if in death, will touch and revert back to what they instinctually are.

You cannot cheat nature or lie for too long to her, as she will teach back and show you.

Femininity has vectors and is archetypal and ever-lasting in the portrayal of and in nature, as well as masculinity.

If and what one lacks inside of them as instinct, what one chooses to do with their faculty of freedom and choice, what one receives back from nature and reacts, is their imprint and decision. But behind all of these, some forces are ever-lasting, that can be used and be made in forms and individual existences. Yet always about the core and never too far away.

First, people have to become humans so we judge nature justly and then we might get a glimpse of divine, hoping we will not be blinded away by the grace of it.
