Connecting with manifestations of feminine energies is not a loop but a spiral. They are loosely related to the cycle of life: birth, growth, death, and infinity. Spiritually, the spiral represents connectivity with the divine, spiraling from the self into the inner soul or cosmic awareness within enlightenment and growth of the spirit.

Cassandra Langer, Mother Spiral in field with paper footprints leading to its location, 1998. Paper, 300 feet in diameter. I opened the sacred space with this spiral on the archaeological site above the place where a “rondel” from the Neolithic Period was used for presumed spiritual rituals approximately 7,500 years ago.
