Six centuries before feminism was a thing, Christine de Pizan was advocating for women's rights. She offers a message of hope and support, and a bit of advice, for women today.
This is a different kind of channel for me. Christine de Pizan popped in for a client during a reading some months ago and I guess we're friends now, because earlier this week Madame de Pizan came to me with a feeling of insistence. It was clear she had something to say. It took me a few days to decide to channel, and a few days more to decide what to do with it. In the end, I opted to share her message.
Who is Christine de Pizan, you ask? Only the first female professional writer of the Middle Ages and, in the opinion of many historians, one of the first protofeminists. Her best-known works, The Book of the City of Ladies and The Treasure of the City of Ladies, advocated for equality for women some 600 years before the first stirrings of feminism in Europe and America.* In the words of my client, she was a boss.
Hello Madame de Pizan. Thank you for contacting me. What can I do for you?
Tell my story. Tell the story of women through the ages who have had to fight for their lives, their honor, and their agency.
Thank you. We will certainly try to do that. Do you have a message for us?
The age-old hubris of the male of the species is at work again. It is a precious few who are of this mind, but oh, how powerful they are. Isn’t that always their way? The few force the many to do their bidding.
It will not stand. The human consciousness has risen above that level of avarice, cruelty, paranoia, and domination. And that is precisely why that faction is attempting to remove the advances that have been made for women. To put it bluntly, they see the writing on the wall and are attempting in any way possible to delay the outcome.
The divine feminine has arisen and it will not be put back in its box. The wheel of time has turned away from dominance, aggression, and conquest and toward cooperation, harmony, and peace. I know that must be hard to believe, standing where you are now, but it is so.
What would you have us do?
Well, first of all, you are allowed to be angry. But you must not be afraid.
Righteous anger in pursuit of justice is positive. That is “light war” indeed. However, fear is black magic. It not only does not benefit you; it actively harms you because it benefits them. Fear is an emotion that fuels dark energy. It has no place in a light warrior’s arsenal.
What do you recommend?
Talk. Engage. Share history and experience. Show others the rightness of your position, the beauty and majesty of the divine feminine. There is strength in numbers. For make no mistake, you have the numbers.
Make noise peacefully. Contact those in power to express your expectations. You can’t short-circuit this process of dragging the dark out into the light, but you can shorten it.
What if someone doesn’t want to protest in public?
The individual who wishes to remain at home can still exercise power. Curate your own emotions. Feel, feel, feel:
• Feel joy in an enlightened public.
• Feel satisfaction in the development of young women.
• Feel relief at the defeat of that tiny male cabal.
Be in certainty that the time of the divine feminine has arrived. And use your emotions to turbo-charge that certainty. That is manifestation. That is your recipe for manifesting progress for women.
Thank you. Is there anything else you would like us to know?
I am with you. Diana the Huntress is with you. Women of renown, ancient and modern, are working on both sides of the veil to help you secure victory. Never doubt. Never fear.
