WOMAN = BODY = EARTH

The female body cannot very well be separated from the body of the Earth, in which our bodies function like cells. 

What she feels, we feel, for better or worse. 

In ancient times the women spent a good part of their time making sacred vessels of all types, large and small, many with breasts, triangles and curves that mirror our own flesh. These vessels were our companions and guardians. It must have been comforting to have the constant presence and reminder of these pots, linking to the female body and our purposeful being in the world of form, in our vessels women produce life. The enclosure of the womb guards and nourishes the new life then activates to push out into the world. To hold one of these forms was to feel the echoes of our matriarchal line, generations of women who praised and worshiped the spirit of the feminine/Goddess.
