In short, Western culture has always been infused with the notion of the woman as creative source in the most literary sense. It makes literal, or biological sense, too, because woman is the font from which life springs. Naturally she should be so revered. The problem is the division of duty that arises. In a variation of the Berger dictum, here we have woman inspiring and man acting.
Woman stays put, men go get the world.
Finding a source within is a great way to own your own power and move forward. Using yourself as a source of your creativity, and then acting on it, is a way to take part in this quite new millennium.
