Contemplative Sophia Embodies
|
Jean Bolen writes that Sophia embodies archetypal qualities of our wisdom years, in Goddesses in Older Women
This feminine archetype embodies the energy of the spiritual leader, as well as the woman for whom prayer is private.
Other forms of feminine spiritual wisdom may be found in transcendent nature experiences or creating art.
The Sophia energy may be centered in the timelessly spiritual, but she also may have to work, do errands, and be a source of comfort and advice for family and friends.
One of my friends found a creative outlet crafting hats, because head covering is required by her spiritual path. Another, also on a spiritual path, almost always dresses in white pants and top. These simple changes are consistent with Sophia's focus on the transcendental.
Clean Lines and Beautifully Draped Fabrics Please
Wise Sophia
This goddess archetype favors clean lines that drape gracefully on her curves, for Sophia is full of grace. Her challenge is not confusing baggy clothes that are too big with well-fitted fabric.
Dresses, blouses, and trousers should skim the figure, accenting assets and drawing attention away from trouble spots.
We will not find styles that are low-cut or tight in the closet of a woman who is on this path in her later years.
This Sophia fashion archetype shows us how to dress in clothing that is tasteful and well cut.
