I have a friend who is writing young adult fiction - a novel -about a coming-of-age girl with magical powers - powers she must come to terms with
(my friend coming to terms with her craft and intent as well as the girl coming to terms with whatever power my friend's intent crafts for her).
Since what she wants to craft is other-worldly, I give my friend esoterically-informed advice.
I advise her on what to read about the archetype of the virgin from symbolic geometry, and the vesica pisces which is the womb of creation.
I expound upon how seVen is the number of the virgin because no number can go into it evenly. I pontificate on how
(prior to the head-oriented, male-pole-dominated patriarchal eras came to be),
the goddess was the revered and worshiped deity in mythology.
Things one reads can reside in the head as just-talked-about notions: fanciful words thrown around with nothing grounded under them.
I believe in embodying what it is one wishes to write about, and esoteric wisdom is bound for embodiment because you explore and discover the hidden wisdom from within.
If you wish to write about magic, work on your wizardry (NOT Harry Potter wand-waving wizardry). Wizards spin, so visualize the story spinning out from the depths of you.
If you want to write about a virgin, do as Cate Blanchett did in Elizabeth, who with her attendants weeping while cutting off her hair, declared with that inimitable throat, "I have become a virgin."
That's Embodiment!
Or if you can't go to that extreme, find a way to open your perineum (the feminine pole) - lackluster pedestrian term: pelvic floor.
My teacher actually advised the women in class a few weeks ago that if they really want to open that power place, that launching pad, that springboard of creativity, the perinuem,
(I believe I received the quality of bold, intrepid giving of advice from her)
to stick an egg
(preferably hard boiled,)
"up there".
Now me, being the only body in class sans a vagina,
but also knowing undoubtedly of having attained possession of the most enthusiastic and provocative understanding of and most facility with my own feminine pole
was the only one to ask,
(through all the girlish giggling from forty-something year olds),
"Should it be shelled?"
"Why are you asking?" I heard from behind me.
I kept all attention on my teacher
(not even acknowledging the heckler),
because my teacher is an absolute master at conveying esoteric tenets and I trust her implicitly.
I don't care that I don't have an actual vajayjay, and no
(don't go there!)
it wasn't that I was thinking of actually participating in this particular perineum project......
I have a keen imagination,know the power of intention preceeds and is well beyond insertion and
I revere the goddess force,

PDA: Potentially Divisive Accoutrement
Technology.Psychology.Neurology.
Disclaimer: This is only a dramatization
Dear Verizon,
I don't know who is responsible for this failing,
but my new Blackberry Curve Smart Phone Spell Check
does not recognize the term "blog."
Come!..... On!!
I absolutely adore my new Blackberry Curve Smart Phone
(although that's a dumb name, I am embellishing on it
only to qualify the complaint I am submitting -
I would prefer the more imaginatively-freeing
esoterically-enhancing
Blackberry
Arc or Arch or Archetype
head-over-heels over the lowly-pedestrian
somewhat-feminine-sounding...
Curve ( : - ")
I still do adore it.... ( : - ))
so much so that though (even before having a PDA of my own) -
whisper: ( : - *)
I had heard people use the derogatory terms Crack and Barf
before berry to describe potentially insidious elements of
addictive or abusive or illin' effects of usage of such device,
I was so smitten with my easily- misunderstood yummynummy
that almost immediately I began to refer to it and started telling
my other friends about my new "BFF" Blackberry.
I even went so far as to make playful remarks about being in bed
"fingering" my BFF early in the morning in a comment composed
to respond to a "blog" of a friend of mine.
So, here's the horror: I press submit and
the spell check stops on "blog"
and in the little lavender (perfect pastel touch)
pop-up square gives these options:
bloc blot blow log.... clog bog blob and slog....
I guess the "smart" part only refers to the phone part
of what should be an across-the-key-board intelligent device.
A more appropriate consumer trial marketing study
might have included Blackberry "Learning Curve" Smart Phone
as a potential label.
Uhhhhhhh!
Eight options of what-I-consider-slasher-flick terminology
to imply the correct spelling of what is an element
of something now considered
so wide-ranging, deeply-ingrained and all-encompassing
as to be paired with the antecedent "sphere" as in,
"the blogosphere" ? ( : - ()
Are your spell-check software supervisors on crack?
What if I am blogging
(spell check doesn't recognize the action verb form of the term
ei--ther....) hurriedly,
and I am so immersed in the stream
that when I perform the spell check,
my adoring fingering encounters a lapse of brief carelessness,
and I end up saying to someone in the sphere,
"I loved your blot about your mother's mishap ." ???????
Or even worse...... log? ( : - +)
"I was really moved by your log in which you conjured early adolescence so specifically."
My once facile, feeling fingers become numb thumbs.
Now I absolutely adore that you name a PDA after a succulent
(and not so generic) fruit, that there is a
not-that-obvious sexual innuendo
(as in allusions to "the darker the berry"....),
but please put some more dollars towards systems anal-ysis
and update your spell check with terms that have been
in uber-ly wide usage for like a decade?
I just bet when I press send, "uber"
is going to be bathed in lavender.....
Pop up on this! : numbskulls
Oooooouch! That smarts! ( : - #)
Something called a blackberry should be nourishing in all aspects
Using that phrase as a new tag line will require remuneration.
