Thank you for this meditation & information, Tina! I've learned that allowing the Goddess to express herself is vital to being whole. You're so right about being "brainwashed" into believing that She is what society made her out to be. Not feeling feelings is constrictive and unhealthy. There are so many aspects of life that She shows up, though we pretend that She's not speaking. She's effortlessly "in our faces" (e.g. sports, "manly things", being loud and expressive, etc.).
