“There are women who stay in the underworld through no fault of their own: it is a byproduct of a male-dominated society. It goes like this: If women are not initiated into Mother through rites of passage, which are the tools of rebirth, they are unable to evolve. They age, but they never transform. They do not mature or self-actualize, so they remain infantilized and dependent.”

“The Maiden archetype, like spring, like the waxing moon, is the healthy beginning phase of a woman's life -- but it becomes unhealthy when we stay trapped in it, not progressing, never developing into the mature feminine.

“Until we approve of ourselves, we're always going to feel and act like we have to prove our worth and lovability.”

“The gift of the Maiden is feeling as if she has forever. The gift of the Mother is knowing she does not.”
