The Sacred Journey of Motherhood:

Embracing Holy Sacred Anger

Motherhood is a powerful journey, a sacred bond that transcends time and space, deeply rooted in the primal instincts of protection. The divine feminine is woven with threads of nurturing, compassion, and an unwavering instinct to keep loved ones safe. Among these sacred qualities lies holy sacred anger—a powerful, righteous fury that awakens when the vulnerable are threatened. This anger is not a flaw but a divine gift, essential to the core of motherhood and the feminine spirit, igniting a fierce determination to safeguard her young against all odds.

Holy sacred anger is more than just an emotional response; it is a deeply ingrained survival mechanism. It emerges from the depths of a mother's soul when her child is in danger. It is the roar of the lioness, the fierce defense of the mother bear. This anger is purposeful, focused, and driven by an ancient, instinctual need to shield the innocent. It is a manifestation of the divine feminine's role as a guardian of life.

In many spiritual traditions, the divine feminine is honored as the ultimate protector. Goddesses like Durga, Kali, and Hera embody this sacred anger, channeling it to defeat evil and uphold justice. These archetypal figures remind us that the divine feminine is not only gentle and nurturing but also fierce and formidable when necessary.

In our modern society, this sacred anger is often misunderstood and vilified. Institutions and cultural narratives increasingly seek to diminish and control this powerful force, using it against mothers in an insidious manner. When mothers rise to protect their children from perceived threats, whether physical, emotional, or ideological, they are frequently met with resistance, criticism, and even character assassination. Suppressing a mother's sacred anger repeatedly is deeply traumatizing, causing her nervous system to fluctuate between states of hyper-vigilance (anger and hyper-arousal) and hypo-arousal (depression and defeat). This trauma response occurs when a mother’s fundamental instinct to protect her child is continually undermined and invalidated.

One of the most devastating narratives today is the false belief that children are born wrong. Fed by social media and societal pressures, children are led to believe their natural bodies and personalities are incorrect. This damaging ideology can lead to irreversible consequences, including hormone treatments and surgeries that carry significant risks. For a mother, witnessing her child being pushed towards these drastic self-harming modalities is heartbreaking. Her sacred anger rises as she sees the fabric of her family threatened by forces encouraging irreversible decisions. Mothers demanding their vulnerable children grow into adulthood whole and healthy are often labeled as abusive or ignorant, further isolating them in their protective roles.

Adding to this heartbreak are external entities, such as youth programs, teachers, counselors, or misguided individuals, who justify severing the bond between a mother and her child by claiming that non-affirmation is toxic. Then there is the phenomenon of other mothers—often dubbed "glitter moms"—who swoop in, playing the role of a supportive, understanding figure to a child on the pathway of medicalization. These "glitter moms" often validate and encourage decisions that align with the damaging narrative, further driving a wedge between the biological mother and her child.

How dare another mother presume to take on the sacred role of motherhood, undermining the biological mother's rightful place and influence? This theft of the motherly title is an egregious mockery, adding layers of betrayal and hurt. The actions of these glamour moms are not protective or nurturing; they are an invasive act that attempts to replace and invalidate the biological mother's bond and instincts.

For a mother whose sacred anger and title have been stolen, the path to reclaiming her power and position is challenging and tense with uncharted territory. While everyone's journey will have different first steps, it is crucial to understand that this anger is natural, and a sacred response to the injustice inflicted upon her and her children. Building support networks of trusted friends, family, and mentors for emotional backing is highly recommended, though difficult.

Self-care and resilience are top priorities. Engage in activities that rejuvenate your spirit and build resilience against ongoing challenges. Honoring your sacred anger is vital. Understand that this anger is not just an emotion but a divine tool for safeguarding your child. By embracing and channeling this anger constructively, you can find the strength to navigate the complex and painful journey, which may have many layers in itself as well.

Communities and institutions should support and uplift mothers, respecting their voices and providing the resources and autonomy needed to protect their children effectively. This includes challenging and dismantling harmful narratives that seek to diminish the power of holy sacred anger.

The true mama bears will continue to rise, defending their young with a fierce, sacred love that cannot be silenced or diminished. They are the guardians of life, the embodiments of the divine feminine, and their holy sacred anger is a force to be revered and respected.
