Banshee/Cannibal From “Doomsday” the film…
There’s this joke… about men and women and relationships…. it goes like this. Ask Ten women why their last relationship finished and they will give you a detailed map on what went wrong, where, when and what they will never do again… Ask the Ten men why their last relationship finished… they will say.., “Bitch went crazy!”
Being tarred with the Banshee brush does my head in, does yours in too… I’ve seen way too many women reduced to “crazy” when what they really are is furious, so full of fury they explode! That stuff is uber real, needing the respect we offer nitroglycerin. Normally though, what a woman will do as she feels the temperature rising is one of a few options left to her… Suck it up, shove it down, drown it out, cool it off… some of those involve eating, sleeping, swallowing, or any other form of self punishment we have conjured this week. Or sometimes we have a range of tools we use to access that rage and USE it to create the change it was sent to create.
I LOVE my Banshee… I LOVE my Banshee in my Mother and my Daughter… I LOVE it in my Sisters! I LOVE it when the force of personal truth that will not be silenced today, will speak her total mind right now. Tis far greater than the other options. I would love to see our world where the Banshee is a valued part of every woman, where we respected her presence in a moment as necessary, as she would not be there if she was not needed. She is truly only there when she’s needed.
There is the learned emotional vomiting that many women do, the shrieking that fills your ears with dread when you hear it, but that is not what I am speaking to here. That is bad behavior, when someone has maintained the habit of making their problems everybody else’s problem… No, that is truly different to the Real Banshee. Learning the difference between the two can make a life lived in terror of our anger, or a life that has learned to harness the fire, not burn every one, mostly the self, alive… The difference between the two is the place they arrive from. The shrieking noise a woman makes to force people to do her bidding if only it will shut her up.. that is easy to spot as generally it’s in her pitch… the higher the noise, the greater the fear, the stronger the shrieking… The fury you can see burning in a woman’s eyes, that would be her Banshee, also know as her Kali… about to chop off your head, that pitch is totally different. There is a force moving through her that really ought to be heard, and if her world is her own, she will truly bring it… ALL THE WAY through… not the truncated depths that most women share with the world as that is all they seem allowed to share.
Time is changing beautiful woman. Our earth needs our Banshee! Learn the difference, and employ the fury in such a way as to burn through the dross that has encased your life… that is what she if for! To Burn away ALL that would contain you and Not have your world as your own.
