Questions for you to think or write about.
These questions
are designed for girls and young women reading or hearing the story. But,
whatever your age, if the story has touched you in any way, reflecting on
them can be very valuable.
What
was the best part of the story for you?
Would you
like to live on a community like this one? What do you think some of the advantages
of being on land and living together with other people would be?
If you don't know, find out how your parents met? How they came to be having
you as their daughter? Find out about your birth?
How do you allow yourself to connect with nature, the seasons, the moon and
the cycles within your own body? Share these stories with others, either in
words or in story.Write about your own first Menstrual cycle if you’ve
had one. What was it like? Do you remember anything special about it?
Did you
sense your ‘time’ coming? What was that like?
How did
the people around you celebrate your Menarche? How were you welcomed? If you
didn’t have a celebration then, could you create one for yourself now?
It’s never too late to ‘reclaim’ those lost rituals.
If you
could have your ‘time’ again, how would you celebrate your Menarche?
Do you like the idea of taking time out in the Woman’s House? What do
you think the benefits would be to you?
Find books
about cycles - menstrual, moon, seasonal and create special times, within
them, for yourself and your friends.
Keep a
record of your own Menstrual Cycle so that you can be more connected to it,
and later more responsible for your fertility. Connect with your body and
listen to her wisdom, she will teach you much on your Journey towards the
wise woman ‘Crone’.
Go and
find two or three women you know and feel interested in and ask them to tell
you HERSTORY. Find out about her life, children and the place and times she
was raised in. Begin the process of mapping out women’s lives and creating
SisterWeb stories for yourself.
What do
you need/want to develop in yourself as girl or woman in order to best create
the kind of life you want?
Suggestion: Create women’s circles for yourself and other women and girls to share and acknowledge each other. To celebrate the moon-times and yourself. There is great power in this. Invite older wiser, women into your circle to share of their understanding of life and it’s Mystery.
