We live in the Middle World during ovulation and express our divinity with the Full Moon light, and dive deep into the Under World, like Inanna's descent, during the New Moon when we menstruate and gather the wisdoms of healing and living from the darkness of the soul; where in essence we die and are reborn. In addition, we face death at the time of childbirth when we travel out of body into the invisible realms to bring back a spirit to incarnate in our babies. Women are, in essence, conduits for the mysteries of life and death."-Kisma K.
