Hey Anita, This is a great read on Virgo. I was waffling on addressing the whole "virgin" thing. My main source of thinking through that archetype is the phenomenal book The Kore Goddess by Safron Rossi where she goes deep in thinking about this particular archetypal feminine in terms of her inherent sovereignty. Sadly the word virgin is so saddled with oppressive judgement and misunderstood at its core. Thanks for addressing this!
Hi Jeanne! Thanks so much for your comment. Glad to be connected with you here! You are so right the word virgin is loaded with baggage and I’m so grateful for how Jungians like Marion Woodman and Esther Harding and also Demetra George have helped me understand the ancient meaning.
