INVOCATION: Hildegard von Bingen ~ Anonymous 4

'Invocation' written by Emma Bergen.
Featured painting by David Bergen.
Traditionally the Hebrew term Shekinah שכינה means 'dwelling', as a way of describing the presence of the Divine. As the term is feminine, it also has come to be used to describe the feminine aspect of the divinity: the Divine Feminine.
Emma Bergen writes: "I came to learn about the Shekinah while I was writing about the Gnostic Sophia, and was inspired to write my 'Invocation' as a way, both of expressing what such a contact means to me personally, and to reach out in the spirit (and within myself) to what has been described as 'the feminine face of God'. Oppression has many faces, some serious, and others so subtle that they might remain unnoticed by others. I invite you to join me in this invocation, written for all women everywhere, in whatever circumstances they might find themselves.”
