Healing the Mother Daughter Split

The Heroine’s Journey is based on the experience of fathers’ daughters who have idealized, identified with, and allied themselves closely with their fathers or the dominant masculine culture. This comes at the cost of devaluing their personal mothers and denigrating values of the female culture. This occurs for both men and women if not on a personal level, then certainly on a collective level.

It has come to my attention that the stronger the connection we have with our Mother, biological and cosmic - the stronger our defence against physic interference and manipulation. This has been a groundbreaking realisation for me.

If the feminine is seen as negative, powerless or manipulative the child may reject those qualities she associates with the feminine, including positive qualities such as nurturing, intuition, emotional expressiveness, creativity, spirituality, physic protection and discernment.
