"Virgin": etymology, evolution & goddesses

A sip of inspiration from the Mother Tongue collection 

“In Greek translations, the word virgin meant “one unto herself”. Similar to many words in English, the original meaning became lost as Western culture became more patriarchal in nature.

With this evolution of language in mind, virginity actually means freedom, self-sufficiency, and wholeness. One of my favorite authors, Nancy Qualls-Corbett goes on to say a virgin is “untouched by man, or … the laws of man.” In this way, virginity is not something that a person could “take” or “give away.” Virginity instead belongs to each of us as an expression of wholeness and divinity and the stories of the virgin goddesses remind us of the power of our own sovereignty.” - Rebecca M Farrar, Virgo and the Astrology of Virginity.

The lenses and archetypes explored in the full SoulJourn session are: The Priestess, Handmaiden, Vessel and Virgin-Mother.
