The Great Mother is one of the archetypes of the Sacred Feminine. She is represented by the myths of Demeter, Shakti and Pachamama—as She nurtures, empowers and sustains. Her symbol is the womb as the place of origin, Her sacred tool a cauldron that represents the void of fecund potential.
She offers life-force energy that drives the circle of creation. As such, the Great Mother has an infinite capacity to guide you in manifesting your soul’s calling if you know how to bring to bear Her qualities of nurturance, acceptance, receptivity, surrender, renewal, gratitude and adoration.
To evoke the Great Mother, find a quiet space to sit and close your eyes. When your body is relaxed and your mind is clear silently repeats several times, “I surrender. I receive.”
