Feminine principle

The"feminine principle"is viewed by the traditions of the East as the principle of birth, transformation and rebirth, the nurturing and sustaining influence in the universe. In the Taoist world view, the feminine principle is the responsive nature of the universe in juxtaposition to the"male principle"which is the proactive and initiating nature of the universe. The male principle initiates action and movement; the female principle nurtures and is responsive to those actions and movements.

Cosmologically, the feminine principle is the fundamental cosmic life force, and the female deity, which created the world. National mythologies, peoples and religions share this belief—Japan, Native Americans, Hinduism and Buddhism are examples. This is the central idea that motivates contemporary women to seek to reestablish spirituality around the female life force and which has resulted in various pagan, goddess, witchcraft and healing teachings.

The Mother of the World appears as a symbol of the feminine Origin in the new epoch, and the masculine Origin voluntarily returns the treasure of the World to the feminine Origin. Amazons were the embodiment of the strength of the feminine Principle, and now it is necessary to show the aspect of spiritual perfection of woman.
