Once a woman makes the decision to go within to reclaim her authentic self she journeys deep into the unknown. She will wander about in the underworld facing her demons, foes and obstacles. The powers of the feminine will guide her through her dark sojourn into this mother void. It is an important part of her instruction and achievement to gain her knowledge through first hand experience. The feminine archetype of the heroine is not to conquer over as her male counterpart, but to conquer within. This inner reflective state is a sacred withdrawal that is necessary in order for her to rebirth, heal and reinvent herself in the images of her own guided visions and insights. It is important to commit to building her strength to ward off any outside influences and manipulations. She becomes the sacred warrior. A woman in charge of her own destiny.
