The Dark Maiden is a breaker of chains and a crasher of gates. The compassionate liberator who throws off our shackles and returns us to the World Soul, which is Herself.
As Magna Mater, She affirms the divinity in Matter, in physical form and life. The Union of Spirit and Matter is where Twin Flames come together.
She is the One who keeps the sacred primordial flame of creation, and cannot be accessed by clones or doppelgangers. The Dark Maiden is the Original, untouched by the corruption of artifice, pretense, and the envious imitation of invaders.
That's why the bright blaze of Her dual torches makes us shield our eyes. How can we imagine such sanctity when we've never been taught that our bodies are actual temples? How can we look upon Her, who is pure unconditional love, when we have covered ourselves in masks for centuries?
We must come before Her stripped down bare and trembling with the shame of our humanity in order to know Her tender mercy and grace.
