Anonymous was a woman

Blessed suggested that I consider exploring the Twelve Principles of the Golden Dawn that I wrote about a while back and explore each one over a series of weeks.

I like it. Most of Blessed's suggestions are good ideas. You would be wise to adhere to them. N.B. There has been the odd suggestion from Blessed that has meant all night on the tiles and short term memory loss but we shan't explore that here and now.

The first principle is to Have a Room of One's Own - a space in which to breathe. I am so incredibly fortunate to have this. A perfect room with my desk and my great grandmother's chair covered in opulant red velvet. A cabinet of curios, an altar and a fireplace. I am a Taurus though, this really sets my solar plexus chakra churning.

What you may consider you own 'room' is unique to you. I have a friend whose idea of their own room is the beach, standing on the edge of the ocean. Another, thinks of her garden as her room.

Some have conventional studys, other have art studios and some use the kitchen as their portal in which to breathe.

The idea of having a room of one's own is not new, certainly Virginia Woolf expanded it in her essay of the same title. "All I could do was to offer you an opinion upon one minor point—a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Good point Virginia, but what if you don't write fiction, non fiction or any fiction for that matter.

I see Ms Woolf's point but I would like to attempt to update it for the 21st Century.   It is more than having your own room, it's an esoteric principle. We must claim our space wherever we are in the world to be allowed to be heard, seen and valued for what is most unique and special about us.

Glass ceiling be dammed. I would rather stick a chopstick up my nose and gouge my eye out with a soup spoon than have to prove anything to a man. There are few men I know, who encourage the women in their lives to take the space they require and go for it. Sad but true.

We must prove to ourselves we are worthy of the space we desire in our lives. The space to have a bath, to have dinner alone or a see a movie and not think of ourselves as lonely. To be disciplined enough to hold the space to breathe wherever we are and be our true selves.

Enough of being anonymous and instead stand up and be proud, find your space, create your space, wherver it is and enjoy breathing.

Enjoy creating the space wherever it may be.

How sublime a space of one's own .. no higher goal that to find a space in which to be still and make friends with our breath. I dream of an outdoor room with wafting cotton curtains .. and a view to the ocean. I love your idea of following the twelve principles .. tell us more!

I like the idea of your room. I also dream of the ocean. I visited a beach once in Vanuatu which was as close to perfect as I have ever seen and they had huts in the beach with wafting cotton curtains. I may visit you there for a spot of ocean gazing if you don't mind.
