How does the celebration of Jesus fit into healing trauma and divine femininity? I call his archetype the revered scapegoat – Half worshipped, half demonized.

Easter calls for the celebration of his return from crucifixion into divinity. After he was cast out and sacrificed for the sins of others, he is now worshipped as our saviour.

This is what happens to trauma survivors. This is abuse at the spiritual level.

The man devoted his life to helping others. He preached community over ownership, Mother Nature as our temple, and aiding the sick and weak. He practiced magic in the form of energy work.

But Christianity made him a revered scapegoat – a man who is worthy when performing spells for others but held on the cross for being weird. Culture is a strange way of celebrating tyranny.

And, of course, he was male. Females are not to be worshipped in the Christian religion unless they, of course, are saints who serve and serve. Women cannot become Gods, though, so Jesus must be made male.

I feel sorry for Jesus and all who have succumbed to being the revered scapegoat in their lives. It is a brutal place to be. You live by roles instead of authenticity. Your days are spent serving instead of living. And in the end, you get put back on the shelf when you are not needed and mocked when you are not around.

Who here has not felt their own crucifixion at the hands and voices of those who held power over them?

Trauma feels like a crucifixion. So does healing it. Undoing all that pain is going to hurt, yet we don’t get to turn into God. We keep going as humans.

A divine gift is given to us, though.

We get a deeper sense of who we are as people of Mother Earth. Her presence sits in our bodies and souls instead of a dissociated one in our minds. We become alive again. The best part is that we worship ourselves and leave the revered scapegoat role behind. We don’t need it anymore. We are whole, steady, and full of grounded light and grit.

I find this transformation very matriarchal. It is the work of our Great Mother and her earthly energy of soil, wind, water, fire, and spirit.

Easter is also the beginning of spring. Christianity placed Jesus to rise at the same time Mother Earth rises after hibernation. I wonder if we can all spend time outside, in the temple where Jesus preached, and look at our God for wisdom in the upcoming season of renewal, growth, and seeding for future nourishment.
