It's ok to be a little witchy.

 

Through a series of coincidences that can only be explained by divine intervention, I found myself crying in a money and business mentor's backyard office in Sedona, AZ.  One of the things she said that blew my mind the most was a passing reference to the divine feminine.

 

 The what?  No, no, pretty sure that's not a thing.  I'd been raised in the Protestant American Christian faith – a world in which God was a dude (with a long white beard wearing robes), Jesus was a dude (we know for sure because he was topless on the cross), and the Holy Spirit was a bird (but probably a dude bird, as you never see him sitting on a nest.

I was pretty confident that everything divine was from dudes, because if God were a woman she would have smashed the patriarchy by now.  She just wouldn't stand for it.

But the more I thought about it the more it seemed true.  There was a time back in ancient Greece and Rome when there were goddesses, not just gods.  And way way back before that, it seems there were Earth goddesses and fertility goddesses and matriarchy was a thing.

If God is everything and everywhere, it had to be the union of everything – the masculine and the feminine – actually rising above duality.

I do think there is a rising of the divine feminine, a growth in female power.  We see more representation of strong women in the stories Hollywood is telling us (hello Katniss Everdeen, Mulan, and the chick who was Divergent). We see strong women in music (Queen Latifa and Beyonce for starters).  We see more women in Congress (even if weirdly some of them are supporting the weirdest elements of the Patriarchy.  I guess you have to start somewhere).

 So what does all this have to do with money? 

 A lot.

 Historically money was the man's thing (with the exception of shopping, which was a woman's thing).  Women could spend it, but had to be dependent upon men for their supply.

 But here's the thing. Your man is not your source.  Creator is your source.  Creator will provide.

You as a woman were given skills, abilities, talents, intelligence, and gifts with which you can provide value to others and receive money – stored energy – in return.

You have the ability to learn about investing and take charge of your retirement plan and interview financial planners and discern the best way forward, just like any guy.

Let's not cede the high paying jobs to the guys just because they've set up shop and camped out there.

Let's hire female financial planners and lady money coaches.

Women have historically done most of the spending, so let's do that spending with small, locally owned, female friendly businesses.

If you feel unwelcome somewhere, take your business elsewhere.

We can negotiate our salary.

We can raise our rates.

We can team up and work together and promote women in business.

We can earn more. 

And we should.

I'm not against dudes – I'm married to a dude, I have clients who are dudes, a lot of men in IT have treated me with respect and I love them for it.  Those dudes are not the problem.

But toxic masculinity is.

And it's not just bad for women, it's bad for kids, and the planet, and for the guys themselves.

By us stepping into our feminine power, we make it more ok for the guys to step into theirs.

“Woman's intuition” is seen as a lady thing, but my husband is one of the most intuitive people I know.  He just calls it “spidey sense” so it seems manly.

Let's respect nature and collaborate and burn candles because they look neat and smell good.

Let's embrace the divine feminine in all of us.

Let's bring power to our own unique way of doing business and handling money.

The world needs us to do so.
