About Me, 
Elizabeth Langston

Three human beings who know me well, have gifted me with the compliment that I have one of the most Feminine energies they've ever known. It feels a little weird to share this, but I do at times feel like something I was born to do, was to Restore and Reclaim the Feminine in these times.

After my mental health initiations, 2016-2022, I was shown that my mental wellbeing hinges on my ability to and commitment to live the fullest expression of me. And to do this in a masculine world, I must dedicate energy and space to excavating The Feminine in me.

Below is a poem I wrote that describes my journey of Feminine Awakening. I hope you enjoy, and I do hope you will join the sisterhood if it feels right. ...Remember, even if you're just a fly on the wall and aren't able to participate fully, the container can change and transform you. That is the way of the Feminine. 

Dear Patriarchy

By Elizabeth Langston

I wanted to be a nice girl

Until I learned that you killed my sisters 

I enjoyed being a quiet girl

Until I learned that you took their voices

I wanted to be a compliant healer

Until I learned that you overtook women’s healing arts

I wanted to turn the other cheek 

Until I saw so many women hurting and frozen under your grip, I couldn’t look away.

I wanted to be a domestic woman, 

Until I learned my feminine ancestors were domesticated.

I wanted to be a clean woman 

Until I realized my sensuality is Holy.

I didn’t want to disrupt anything

Until I learned how disrupted my matriarchal line has been

I was willing to do what you told me 

Until I was shown my Inner Temple and Authority

I didn’t want to be disobedient

Until I realized that disobedient women are behind some of the greatest freedoms we know today—

I tried. 

I tried to stay out of the way. 

I did. 

I cleared myself of all magic and powerful yearnings

I dedicated my Self to domestic identity

But then the Goddess came to me... 

She came into my home full of pregnancy and babies 

And She wrecked into my Mind. 

She stole all my perfectly stacked identities 

And she whispered to me while I slept, “You are Wild.”

When I awoke one day from Motherhood, I saw: this is not all of me. 

I felt the Missing of my Pieces. 

Depression ensued. (Depression is the Initiation of the Goddess.)

–There were ambulances 

There were new homes and letting go of old friends

There was darkness, 

Then a splash, 

And a Rebirth

Of Me. 

Elizabeth. 

Priestess of the Cave 

Awakener of Women

On Mission for the Goddess

To Heal the Feminine in All Beings. 

—-

I slaved for you in religious callings. 

And Now, I demand that my Women be set free. 

I am opening their cages 

I am unclipping their magic wings 

They are unfurling their beauty and sexual selves 

They are showing their shoulders. 

–

I am torturing those organizations who tortured Woman

Who stuffed her wild parts so far back into Her psyche, the collective ‘She’ almost forgot them. 

But I won’t let the women forget. 

‘Woman’ may be Endangered, but she cannot and will not be Extinct. 

Because Woman is a heartbeat, a living thing

She is alive inside every woman

And the Goddess is awakening Woman, the full spectrum of woman, 

Through visions, dreams, night wakings, depression, havoc and chaos

Women are being Reborn into Feminine Ways. 

—

I call my Pagan ancestors up from their graves

To teach me of their ways.

I am Restoring the magikal, 

mystical, 

psychic gifts of women.

You. Should. Be. Scared.

 I can't wait to study together!
