Sacred means revered due to association with holiness. Holiness, or sanctity, is in general the state of being holy (perceived by religious individuals as associated with divinity) or sacred (considered worthy of spiritual respect or devotion; or inspiring awe or reverence among believers).
From an anthropological or atheistic perspective, the religious view of the sacred is a perspective on a culture's collection of thoughts and practices that function as a basis for the community's social structure.
Objects are often considered holy or sacred if used for spiritual purposes, such as the worship or service of gods. The property is often ascribed to people ("a holy man", a "holyprophet" who is venerated by his followers), objects (a "sacred artifact" that is venerated and blessed), times ("holy days"), or places ("holy places", "sacred ground").
Most often we associate the term Sacred as something outside of ourselves. An object, or a place. But how often do we feel the sacredness in our being, our form, our movement. We are Sacred, and as such, worthy of veneration. Body and soul, we must honor ourselves and each other.
You are Sacred!
Hear me when I tell you that each woman can walk the path of a Priestess.
Wait... Let me say that again... YOU ARE SACRED!
Let your feet take each step with the reverence and awareness of your very special purpose in the Web of Life. Honor and Nurture your Body. Through your Womb, or your Womb space, you are connected to every Sister on the planet, as well as every woman who walked before you. There is so much deep wisdom in your blood, let it flow.
Your bones hold the knowledge of the Ancients, and your Breath speaks forth the magick of healers past.
You are Woman, and You are Sacred my Sweet Sisters.
