Six Sacred Forms of the Divine Feminine
•Top, clockwise: Virgin Mary, Marie Magdalene, Shekhinah, Asherah, Sophia, Mokosh.
The Great Mother in Her many aspects—maiden, raging warrior, benevolent mother, death-dealing and all-wise crone, unknowable and ultimate wyrd—is now powerfully reemerging and rising again in human consciousness as we approach the twenty-first century. Isis, Mawu-Lisa, Demeter, Gaia, Shakti, Dakinis, Shekhinah, Astarte, Ishtar, Rhea, Freya, Nerthus, Brigid, Danu—call Her what you may—has been with us from the beginning and awaits us now. [...] She germinates life within Her dark womb.

The Serpent of Gnosis: Sacred Fire
The image of the serpent runs through every current of mystical tradition. It coils around the Tree of Knowledge in Genesis; it burns in the deserts of Israel as the bronze figure that heals those who gaze upon it; it curls at the base of the spine in the secret lore of yoga; it climbs the caduceus of Hermes, twin serpents circling a staff crowned with wings.
When we speak of the serpent, we speak of the path from ignorance to vision, from matter to Spirit and from fall to restoration. The serpent seduces, wounds and heals. It gives knowledge of good and evil; it awakens the duality of the human heart. “Your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil” says the voice in Genesis 3:5.
In the Sanskrit writings of the yogic schools the serpent appears as Kundalini, the power asleep at the base of the spine. She is described as coiled three and a half times, guarding the gate of freedom.
The image of the serpent rising through the body is not foreign to the West. It mirrors the mystical ascent through the four worlds of the Kabbalah, from Assiah to Yetzirah, from Yetzirah to Briah, and finally into Atziluth.

shekinah - god's presence
While I'm disappointed in the choice of the new pope replacing Pope Francis (for a few reasons), I'm now wondering how the vote for the new High Priestess of Vampyres (the role Shekinah holds as the global leader of all vampyres) is done.
What I know from canon is that there is a Vampyre High Council, on which there are a handful of high priestesses (no specifics are given on how many there should be, only that there are some) nor how long they are in the council at any one time, and the role of top high priestess is given to one of them. Once chosen, she holds a lifetime appointment.
I already have some headcanons about the structure and timings, but as for the vote itself... what do you all think? I'll share some ideas I have, but let me hear from you all first!
The woman is inner. She is the one you don't see. She is there with her man. She is influence. She is guidance. She embodies quiet power within her profound wisdom. Her presence is felt. She touches the lives of those around her deeply with her steadfast knowing. She is rooted in divine patience. Her strength is balanced. Her love is unconditional. She is a constant that nurtures and empowers. She is the backbone. She is the unsung hero of the story. She thrives in chaos, but she is silent. She is the whisper. She is the divine force who is driven by her love. ✨️
