There is a movement by modern women in the metaphysical community to reclaim feminine power and embrace the goddess within, but what does this really mean and how can it be accomplished?  

For many this is about acknowledging the important role of femininity and the divine feminine in modern society, but it can also be about embodying the archetypes of goddesses throughout history.

Tapping into this goddess power can be done through ritual and ceremony, with prayer, or even through meditation.  And when you combine these methods with the energy of crystals, the connection to a particular goddess is amplified.

Certain crystals correspond to particular goddess archetypes.  So if you wanted to connect with or embody the energetic archetype, the traits or qualities of a specific goddess, you need only to reach for the stone that embodies her spirit and energy.  You can then carry this stone with you, wear it in a piece of jewelry, or meditate with the crystal to connect with the energy of your chosen goddess.

For example, if you were trying to bring more love energy into your life, you may want to embody the qualities of Aphrodite, Parvati, or Venus.  So you could choose to work with Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite, or Copper to embody the vibration of love and the archetypal qualities of your chosen goddess.
