_Ancient Mother Shamanka_ by Maiko L.s.a.

Women by nature are more private in their service to the medicine.
As the feminine is akin to the dark of the moon it is yin, receptive inward, morphing with the great empty. The service is yielding, intimate, nurturing, awakening and maternally strong.
The masculine is akin to the light of the sun it is yang, action, outwards, thought, intellect, electric and focused.
In combination these qualities can be powerful medicine.
Both men and women are able to acquire both abilities but the development of the practice is individual.
