It
is this Eternal Dance that is always, at every moment, creating, destroying,
and recreating all things; all things in all worlds and at every subtle level
of all known and unknown universes are the constantly changing and evolving
expressions of this secret lightning-dance,
this vast blissful ecstatic dance, the Dance of the Sacred Marriage between the
"masculine" and "feminine" pole and powers of the
Godhead...by Enlightenment for Everyone - Andrew Harvey
Throughout history the worship of the Divine feminine,
has been expressed by dancing in a spiritual way, we have danced with our
spiritual path to honour the Divine Feminine or to connect with the Great
Goddess who is within us all. Mother Earth is a dancing living organism in
space. In different faiths there have been deities of dance, in Hinduism there
is Shiva, in Buddhism there are female representations of the Great Mother,
Tara, Prajnaparamita, and also the Tantric deity Varjayogini also known as Sky
Dancer. In Wicca and Paganism they honor the divine principle as the God and
Goddess, within us and all around us. It is One, it is non-dual, we are not separate
from nature. They see nature as totally
sacred and worship many deities both Goddesses and Gods and are aware of the
different dimensions of elementals, fairies, elves, gnomes, sylphs (air
spirits), salamanders (fire spirits) or undines (water spirits). These beings
are closely connected with nature and the elements.
Throughout history women have connected with the Great
Goddess, the Divine Feminine, through spiritual dance. There are many forms of
sacred dance, belly-dancing, shamanic dancing, the whirling dervishes, Native
American dancing was done in rituals to provide protection for crops, in wars
and to protect their people.
We are Divine, Sacred beings living in a sacred world.
Connecting with our divinity
through dance has been done for centuries. Everything is moving and dancing. Every atom around us is vibrating at a pace we can’t even see. All molecules are in a great cosmic dance. The Universe, the stars and all matter contain spirit which is a vibrating, dancing energy.

Dancing has been used in rituals in many religious
ceremonies. The unity one feels and the connected feeling one can experience
with people dancing is an incredible feeling. I once danced in a warehouse
party in Liverpool called Quadrant Park, with 6,000 people in 1990. It was a
very spiritual experience for me. At that time I wasn’t aware of why dancing
was so special.
