“The truth may set you free,” Kidd writes, “but first it will shatter the safe, sweet way you live.” Has your awakening been difficult and challenging? Was there internal and external resistance to it? Did you experience any part of it as shattering? Dangerous? Freeing?Ĥ. What was your childhood church or culture of faith like? How did it become part of your internal geography? Did you identify with Kidd’s memories of being a young girl in school and church, thinking God was male?ģ. What experiences have served as wake-up calls for you?Ģ. It frequently takes a series of wake-up calls or collisions with the truth to jolt a woman into a deep awakening to the Sacred Feminine.
