Are you a Warrior Goddess?
Beyond all the labels, gender classifications, beliefs and stories we all carry about ourselves fluctuates two diametrically opposed, but divinely interconnected, types of energy: the masculine and the feminine.
We see, hear, feel and cultivate masculine energy everywhere. Masculine energy is hot, hard, logical, goal-orientated, proactive and externally-focused, and it pervades everything from religion, to sex, to our relationships and our work lives.
Spiritual Wanderer Course:
Being a lone wolf and a spiritual wanderer is a sacred calling in life โ a unique and alchemical path of awakening. You donโt need to feel lost, alone, or stuck on your journey any more. Itโs time to meet your soulโs deep needs for clarity, self-acceptance, and empowerment. Let us show you how โฆ
Masculine energy, or God energy, dominates our lives because its very nature is to rule, command and control. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but after centuries of bowing down to fierce โGods,โ industrializing the world, and living by aggressive, goal-orientated rules, ideals and goals, it is time for us to reclaim the power of the feminine in our lives.
What is the Divine Feminine (and Why Does It Matter)?
Feminine energy is passive, soft, abstract, intuitive and nurturing, and is embodied by the moon, the earth, water and Winter/Autumn. As a gentle but sensual frequency, feminine energy is also linked to procreation and sexuality which is precisely why it has been shunned for so many centuries dueย to the repressive religious values of the masculine Patriarchal church fathers.
Divine Feminine energy, or Goddess energy, is a subtle yet immensely vital source of energy in our lives. Without it, we are out of touch with our bodies, our emotions, our dreams, and our mother earth. Without it, we live lives on the surface, pursuing empty goals, ego-centered ambitions and desolate values that are disconnected from the mystery, wonder and magic of life.
Without honoring and cultivating the divine feminine in our lives, we feel incomplete and eternally dissatisfied, pursuing paths that are destructive to the planet and toxic to those we love. Put simply, without acknowledging and nurturing the feminine energy within us, we are incomplete and our lives feel superficial.
Inspired by HeatherAsh Amara’s inspiring book, I want to explore the process of embodying both the masculine and feminine in everyday life and how it can benefit you.
Are You a Warrior Goddess?
Only cultivating the divine feminine in our lives can also leave us imbalanced and incomplete. When we have too much Goddess energy in our lives we can spiral into chaos following self-destructive, emotionally reactive paths that leave us victim to any emotional whim we have, and any unkind impulse of others. In fact, too much Goddess energy can lead to addictions, self-pity and unhealthy identity roles like the Martyr Complex.
This is why we need to balance the God and the Goddess within us; the masculine and the feminine, the anima and the animus. This is where the Warrior Goddess comes into play.

The Warrior Goddess is a sacred mixture of the masculine and feminine. As the name suggests, the Warrior Goddess is both a holy blend of strength, iron-willed determination and courage, as well as receptivity, spirituality and tenderness. Both yin and yang are held in balance within the Warrior Goddess, or Nurturing God, and therefore a deep sense of wholeness, confidence and joy is felt.
7 Things You Can Do to Rediscover the Warrior Goddess Within
Personally, a big part of my own journey towards reclaiming my power as a Warrior Goddess was accepting how extremely imbalanced a person I was both emotionally, spiritually, psychologically and sexually. As a young girl I grew up not only deeply entrenched in the Masculine-God values, beliefs and goals of society, but I was also profoundly indoctrinated since birth in a fundamentalist branch of Christianity. This Christian sect taught me that I had to save my virginity until marriage, be attracted to the opposite gender, have children, stay at home and cook, grow my hair long, wear dresses and skirts, stay dead silent in church, remain submissive to the preachers, and of course, stay faithful to God (who was of course depicted as a masculine being).
It wasnโt until I met Solย and subsequently went through a massive, messy, life-changing process of metamorphosis that I discovered the beautiful, balanced paradox of who I am. I am both the sheep and the lion, I am the sun and the moon, I am fire and water, I am logical and emotional, I am sensitive and strong, I am a lover of males and females, I am the student of night and day.
I am a Warrior Goddess, and so are you. I know how hard it can be to embody this merging of two opposites, this energetic alchemy โ but it is possible, and below I will give you a taste of how to rediscover this divine balance within you whether you are male, female or neither:
1. Explore your story.
We all have stories that we tell about ourselves. I refer to these as โstoriesโ because they all have a beginning, middle, and end, and are products of our memories, past experiences, religious indoctrination and cultural myths. For example, your story might be this: โMy name is Jack. Iโm a male who loves to binge on Netflix and go to soccer matches with my mates. Iโm a guys guy and I donโt really understand females apart from when Iโm in bed with them.โ Or your story might be: โIโm Tori. Iโm a quiet wife and mother of two who loves astrology. Although my boys donโt really understand me, I sacrifice a lot for them and my husband. Iโm a giver, not a taker.โ
What gender-specific roles can you identify in your personal story that might be limiting? Examples could be that youโre a guys-guy, a girls-girl, a nurturer, a business-man/woman, a mother, father, leader, etc. By identifying these gender-specific roles, and how dominant the male/female energy in your story is, you can open a doorway for growth.
2. Speak your truth.
Be honest and be truthful. What do you authentically want from life, other people, and yourself? Stop sitting in the backseat of life, and give yourself permission to take over the steering wheel for once. Yes, it is good to flow with life, but it is also good to be honest with yourself and other people about what you reallyย want and need.
2. Ignite your will.
Sometimes it is necessary to put your foot down and be assertive in a respectful way. Most of us have trouble with willfully, but gently, setting boundaries and pursuing what we love. If you have too much masculine energy you will come across as being domineering and aggressive. If you have too much feminine energy you will come across as being manipulative and passive-aggressive. How can you ignite your will in a healthy, balanced way?
4. Commit to yourself.
Commitment involves utilizing the mind and the heart. The heart says, โI love this, I want to do this,โ the mind says, โThis is wise, this is logical.โ When you commit to yourself on the Warrior Goddess path, you are committing to loving all that you are โ both the light and dark elements, the nice and the nasty, the beautiful and the ugly. This is what true self-care is โ not a funky, trendy, hipster form of self-aggrandizement โ but a deep, painful, revolutionary acceptance of what it is that composes โyou.โ So commit to loving yourself. This is the most fundamental building block of what creates a Warrior Goddess.
5. Celebrate your sexuality.
Honoring who you are on a deep sexual level is extremely difficult. We all carry with us centuries of ancestral guilt, depravity and repression. But the truth is that you are a sexual being, and being a sexual being is not โwrong,โ โdirty,โ or โimmoralโ as we have been so often taught. Instead, our sexuality carries an immense source of creativity, power and energy which is a potent force of nature, and literally motivates the majority of life on earth.

Exploring and embracing your sexuality can be a long, slow process, but its benefits are immense. For example, when I found out that I was sexually attracted to both males and females, I felt ashamed, confused and lost, not knowing what was โwrongโ with me. But eventually I came to accept this as a beautiful part of the paradoxical diversity that forms my identity.
In your case, exploring, accepting and integrating your sexuality will not only help you to become a more confident, creative and centered person, but it will also help you to release the old chains of guilt and shame that might be holding you back from truly tasting the bliss of this life experience.
6. Reclaim your strength and self-responsibility.
Warrior energy is fueled by inner strength, and this inner strength comes from self-responsibility. Self-responsibility is about โcutting the crapโ that is self-pity, blame and avoidance, and getting proactive about your life. In this regard, the self-realized Warrior Goddess doesnโt stand for long pity-parties, disempowering identity roles, or toxic environments. The Warrior Goddess doesnโt think of him or herself as โlost,โ โvictimized,โ or โtrapped,โ but as raw, wild, and free โ and woe to anyone who gets in the way of that!
Although you might be stuck in a rut right now, it is possible for you to be your own Savior. Donโt expect anyone else to help you, but also donโt be afraid to ask for help. You are the one you have been waiting for.
7. Embody your wisdom.
You hold within you the mysteries and wonders of the universe. And your life can be a testament to what it is to emerge from the telluric realms of the earth, to the bright sunlight of the day. You are a seed that is blossoming. Honor the process of your growth which comes in the form of hard lessons and painful life experiences. Let the damp earth of your life nurture you. Be prepared to grow, flourish and die, and all over again a thousand times. This is how you soulfully mature. This is an opportunity to embody your hard-earned โ and already learned โ wisdom.

Some quotes from black feminist Bell Hooks. (Look up “Bell Hooks quotes,” for more if you’re interested.) 1. โUsually adult males who are unable to make emotional connections with the women they choose to be intimate with are frozen in time, unable to allow themselves to love for fear that the loved one will abandon them. If the first woman they passionately loved, the mother, was not true to her bond of love, then how can they trust that their partner will be true to love. Often in their adult relationships these men act out again and again to test their partner’s love. While the rejected adolescent boy imagines that he can no longer receive his mother’s love because he is not worthy, as a grown man he may act out in ways that are unworthy and yet demand of the woman in his life that she offer him unconditional love. This testing does not heal the wound of the past, it merely reenacts it, for ultimately the woman will become weary of being tested and end the relationship, thus reenacting the abandonment. This drama confirms for many men that they cannot put their trust in love. They decide that it is better to put their faith in being powerful, in being dominant.โ 2. โAll too often women believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm’s way.โ 3. โThe wounded child inside many males is a boy who, when he first spoke his truths, was silenced by paternal sadism, by a patriarchal world that did not want him to claim his true feelings. The wounded child inside many females is a girl who was taught from early childhood that she must become something other than herself, deny her true feelings, in order to attract and please others. When men and women punish each other for truth telling, we reinforce the notion that lies are better. To be loving we willingly hear the otherโs truth, and most important, we affirm the value of truth telling. Lies may make people feel better, but they do not help them to know love.โ 4. โOften men who have been emotionally neglected and abused as children by dominating mothers bond with assertive women, only to have their childhood feelings of being engulfed surface. While they could not ‘smash their mommy’ and still receive love, they find that they can engage in intimate violence with partners who respond to their acting out by trying harder to connect with them emotionally, hoping that the love offered in the present will heal the wounds of the past. If only one party in the relationship is working to create love, to create the space of emotional connection, the dominator model remains in place and the relationship just becomes a site for continuous power struggle.โ
Someone here has some brains. At least youโre speaking sense and not some mocky woo woo.
I don’t know,understand myself whether am I alive or dead inside
Again a comment from me. I read so much, and everything you write is so very true, and I am currently searching my soul and pick everthing that might help me to understand myself – at 57! Well, it’s never too late to have a good childhood!
My father was just unable to love due to his own childhood experiences. He was cold, agressive, manipulative. As I small child I had loved him so much, which in the end turned into sheer hate. My mother was kind but devot, had a very low self-esteem and never had a life of her own. Definitely not a role model for me.
So I hated my father and thought, well I can do all these things myself and indeed, being able to fix my car myself, work with chain saws and doing almost everything a man does, I’m most likely a ‘mannish’ woman. I never wear skirts or dresses. It was quite ok for me to be this way but now, reading your website, I come to think, well I’d like to see how it feels to wear a dress. How it feels to be more female. Simply reading your words encourages me to search for the Warrior Goddess inside me. Up to now, I despised women who are too ‘housewifeish’ and say, oh well I don’t dare to do this and can’t do that, I need some male help’.
As for men, I get along with them as long as it’s on a professional basis. I don’t understand them emotionally.
The Warrior Goddess is a concept that might work, being strong but in an integrated female way.
I am becoming more and more Warrior Goddess every day, but due to my extremely feminine appearance, the more assertive parts of me are seen as “unattractive.” Mainly, people do not like it when I say “no.” However, I have found that not saying no makes me exhausted, over extended, and depressed, so I have started saying “no.” Now, my friends no longer fit, and I’m going out on my own, again. I have done this multiple times this go around, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I hope someday I find fellow Warrior Goddesses, and we can have a big joyful party. Until then…
That’s good. Sometimes the solution to people not finding your warrior goddess energy attractive is to stop caring if people don’t find you attractive, hot, or particularly “sexy” to their tastes. You’re a person, not a doll. Your job in life is not to look as hot as possible to people. You’re more than that. Some quotes by Naomi Wolf from the book “The Beauty Myth.” (Look up “Quotes by Naomi Wolf” for more or “Feminism quotes,” and “Quotes by women,” if you prefer.) 1. โA culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in womenโs history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.โ 2. โSadly, the signals that allow men and women to find the partners who most please them are scrambled by the sexual insecurity initiated by beauty thinking. A woman who is self-conscious can’t relax to let her sensuality come into play. If she is hungry she will be tense. If she is “done up” she will be on the alert for her reflection in his eyes. If she is ashamed of her body, its movement will be stilled. If she does not feel entitled to claim attention, she will not demand that airspace to shine in. If his field of vision has been boxed in by “beauty”–a box continually shrinking–he simply will not see her, his real love, standing right before him.โ 3. โBeauty provokes harassment, the law says, but it looks through men’s eyes when deciding what provokes it.โ 4. โMen are visually aroused by women’s bodies and less sensitive to their arousal by women’s personalities because they are trained early into that response, while women are less visually aroused and more emotionally aroused because that is their training. This asymmetry in sexual education maintains men’s power in the myth: They look at women’s bodies, evaluate, move on; their own bodies are not looked at, evaluated, and taken or passed over. But there is no “rock called gender” responsible for that; it can change so that real mutuality–an equal gaze, equal vulnerability, equal desire–brings heterosexual men and women together.โ 5. โWhat becomes of a man who acquires a beautiful woman, with her “beauty” his sole target? He sabotages himself. He has gained no friend, no ally, no mutual trust: She knows quite well why she has been chosen. He has succeeded in buying something: the esteem of other men who find such an acquisition impressive.โ
