…Make a sacred fire
and throw on it all that you would use to harm yourself.
Make kindling from shame.
Let your dance be wild,
your voice be honest
and your heart untamed.
Be cyclical,
don’t make sense..
Initiate yourself.
Initiate yourself.
(Aisha Wolfe)
The Spiral in Womanrunes is The Rune of Initiation. Our spiral goddess pendant represents and reminds me of this lifelong process of initiation. A pivotal initiatory point for many women is giving birth and I wore this pendant all through my last pregnancy, including in the birth pool in which my last son was born. She carries the imprint of that power for me, a reminder of my own capacity to change, grow, welcome, and create.
I consider her a pendant symbolic of initiation for many events–whether a personal life transition (such as childbirth) or as dedication to a particular path, life purpose, or journey.
This is the pendant of initiation. This is the pendant of change.
It is time for dedication to your sacred path.
