Ariadne immediately falls in love with Theseus for his bravery and devotion and she arms him with her magical talismans: a sword and a spool of red thread. Until one day, when everything changes, and a brave hero named Theseus arrives to the village to liberate them from the Minotaur once and for all. To appease the Minotaur, the village must make human sacrifices each year to the labyrinth. To keep this Minotaur from destroying the village and all of its beings, the sweet young daughter of Minos, Ariadne which means “the pure one” or “the holy” becomes the guardian and the keeper of the Labyrinth. With the head of a bull and the body of a man, the Minotaur incites terror upon the village. This Minotaur, this monster, came to be through the Queen, the wife of King Minos, birthing a half man half beast. Here at the center of the village of Minos, much like in the center of all deep psychic terrain, lives a labyrinth with a Minotaur living inside. Feel the soft Earth beneath your feet, the warmth of the Grecian sun on your skin, inhale the scent of fields of wild herbs and sense yourself surrounded by the etheric magic of the Goddess. I invite you to travel with me now, just for a short while, back into the mythical times of ancient Greece, to the island of Crete, to a small village called Minos, named after King Minos the keeper of the Labyrinth. There is a very old story, from thousands of years before the time of Jesus Christ, that offers us a map for how we navigate the terrors of the underworld, end our sacrifices made in fear, and Reclaim this red thread as our own direct connection to source. And a key to liberating ourselves from the traumas and fears that have plagued our ancestors for eons, is to hold on tight to the red thread, to journey deeper into the psychic underworld of the pulsing womb, and to trust that Goddess waits for you with all of Her love and all of Her power on the other side. This is the cerebellar consciousness that directly connects us with the spiraling energies at the creative center of the womb. Resembling the brain with its many spirals and folds, the labyrinth takes us into the deep psychic underworld where our demons, monsters, angels, and allies reside. The only thing that will and can ever truly sustain a human soulful life.įor ancient cultures across the world this journey of soul reclamation was encoded and hidden into the symbol of the labyrinth. In a world with so many temptations, distortions, and persecutions that demonize and delude a woman away from the wild red river of her own feminine intuition, it is a healing for the Earth, Her creatures, and all of humanity to take this red thread by the reigns and follow it home to your very own Source. It is the very pulse and force of evolution itself, of life itself, bursting through all that attempts to stifle life, strengthening our devotion, courage, and resolve to truly live. It is the voice, the feeling, the sensing, the knowing, that guides us out of the labyrinth and back into the light when we need it the most. The red thread is the secret of feminine intuition, and Man or woman, both or neither, we all carry this feminine intuition inside of us. When we feel lost, separate, afraid, severed and disconnected from the wild truth of our bodies, our Earth, our humanity, our divinity, and the real, we have simply forgotten that the red thread always waits for her daughters to reclaim the power that will guide each of us home to truth. Like an umbilical cord that delivers sustenance to the growing fetus from the womb of the mother, this thread connects us to the womb of Source. It is the inseparable connection between us and the roots of all that ever was and will become. This is the red thread, the red river, the red stream of consciousness woven into our blood. It pulses with vitality, with truth, and with an unshakeable knowing of the mysteries of all life. It plunges down into the lava core of the Earth where the dragons of fire and water first began to birth the world into being. There is a thread that weaves back through to the very origins of creation, to the very beginning of space and time.
