What Is the Feminine and Masculine

 Often we use these terms in our day to day society to describe cultural and gender norms. But in the same breath we deny that the words Feminine and Masculine are timeless, and forever exchangeable. 

We use deities often, nature and astrology to describe it's complex formations. Whether it's the Feminine Apollo or the Masculine Artemis in Greek mythos, or cats and dogs; to some degree we relate these attributes to ourselves. And in relating attributes such as, romantic, logic, nurturing, or protective, we then take a genderless culture of a Cosmic Body and give it an identity.

Without taking consideration it's an eternal focus, that surpasses the physical presence.


In society we are told boys gravitate to certain colors behavior and traditions that make them masculine. Yet, if a boy spends a day basking in the sun amongst flowers society would not welcome such "Feminine" or effeminate behavior. Which contradicts Masculinity as a cosmic energy and causes coined phrases such as " Toxic Masculinity and Narcissism".
Taking action towards admiration of flowers, even allowing oneself to create a garden of beautiful flowers is actively MASCULINE. 
YET IS IT WRONG FOR YOU TO RECEIVE FLOWERS?!
Simply no.
If you're arranging a garden, you are using your mind, logic , thoughts; alongside , creativity, emotions through the acts of will.

And each gardener knows, plants need water, air and sunlight but also patience and understanding. 

An admixture of both
You are creating a bouquet for yourself.

So next time you take a nature stroll on a sunny day remember



Because

Oshun of Yoruba Voodun

Image
  The one Orisha who is never mentioned among these plots is Oshun. She is the youngest of the Orishas and is either the daughter of Yemaya or her younger sister according to different versions of her story. At the beginning of creation, after Obatala was done with the initial work, Olodumare sent 17 Orishas to earth to set things in order and bring Obatala’s (or Oduduwa’s) work to completion. 16 of these were males, and the seventeenth was Oshun. Oshun wore a gold dress and jewelry. She was dark, beautiful, and quite flirtatious. While they admired her beauty, the male gods didn’t think that they needed Oshun’s help to create a world. Frustrated that she wasn’t getting the reverence she deserved.  As a matter of fact, the males ignored her suggestions on how to make life beautiful, meaningful, and sweet, failing in their mission.
