Do you want more? If not, why? Nature promotes growth and expansion, so why do we deny ourselves from wanting more and growing?

Women are biologically and spiritually designed to create and receive. Just look at the physiology of women and their wombs. Unfortunately, most women deny these innate divine gifts and it can be detrimental to their health.

The Maiden is perhaps one of the most well-known female archetypes.

She’s young, flirty, innocent and just stepping into womanhood. The Maiden is full of potential and creativity. Since she’s not burdened with family or work responsibilities, she takes risks and can have fabulous adventures. The world is her oyster.

Typically this archetype is most dominant in girls and young women before they marry and have kids, but adult women can sometimes revert back to Maidenhood— you know those women in their 40s or 50s who act like they’re 20 again.

The word mother is pretty charged.

It can bring up uncomfortable feelings about your own mother if you have a challenging relationship with her, guilt for not being a “good enough” mother or for not having human babies of your own, or the feeling of unconditional love.

Whether you like it or not, all women are mothers in some capacity and we all have mothers.

Femme fatal, seductress, siren.

The Enchantress is one of the most stigmatized female archetypes.

She represents the woman who owns her sexuality and creative power, and at her highest expression is a force to be reckoned with because she doesn’t give a damn and doesn’t tolerate BS.

While she may not embody female sexuality like the other main female archetypes, but embodies the divine feminine. This is unfortunately the least respected female archetype due to society’s importance of beauty and youth above all else, but at her highest expression, she is what every woman strives to become.

The Crone, also called Wise Woman or Sage, has lived through all the other main female archetypes and therefore brings with her the “been there, done that” insight and life experience that younger women do not have. Although she represents winter and menopause, she is still creative and a valuable member of her community for her wisdom.

In 1960, the FDA approved the use of oral contraceptives, colloquially known as “the Pill.” Alas, female sexual freedom had finally arrived!… Or had t?

Since its inception, more than 300 million women worldwide have taken the Pill. At face value, the Pill seemed like the Golden Ticket for women worldwide who didn’t want to risk getting pregnant and wanted to focus on their careers or just didn’t want to be a mother like society pressures women to be. However, and this is a big however, what are the physical and societal risks of taking the Pill?
