In the Beginning Was the Womb
Origin stories of Earth’s HERstory: Primordial Womb and Parthenogenesis
I am a lover of origin stories.
It’s fulfilling for me to know the story of someone’s (and my own’s) lineage as far back as can go. I want to know how a city began—how many libraries were burnt, and what was built to replace them. Tell me all of the synchronicities that led you to the little town you live in now and how you met the love of your life. What is the history of their lineage? Did your ancestors once know each other at some point in time?
And most of all, I have a deep unrest that has kept me up at all hours of the night researching and asking to be given answers in dreams on the true origins of Earth. Not what the Bible says, not what the history books say—that isn’t the whole truth, and I want nothing but the truth. I want to know how many times Earth has been destroyed and began again—because through my understanding, we have done this many times before here, and we have to get it right this time so that we may rise out of this collective dream and into what is next. A higher place of consciousness and existence, perhaps.
The Womb knows all. The Womb keeps the records across all space and time. It is like we have the Akashic records inside each and every one of us as women. So, when I have these questions, I look in the texts, on the web, in my dreams, and I ask my Womb “Show me what I must know about my origin story, and about the origins of Gaia”.
What I have gathered from my inner and external resources, I have woven together into what I want to share with you now. I have turned this into a series called ORIGEN so that I can break it up into digestible parts. ORIGEN is a journey through Earth’s origins—our Herstory. Within this series I will explore the primordial womb, parthenogenesis, the rise and fall of Matriarchy, and so much more. It all begins with the Womb. Great Mother’s Cosmic Womb, Gaia’s Womb, the original Matriarchal System of Earth and all of the women’s Wombs who were honored and worshipped before the descent in consciousness, and the usurp of the false Patriarchal system we are still existing within (but is dying), today.
This is part one.
The exploration of the primordial womb and parthenogenesis.
ORIGEN 01: In the Beginning Was the Womb
I. The Feminine Gives Birth to Herself
A. Primordial Womb
In the beginning was the womb, and the womb was God.
Before the distorted, stolen, and rewritten ancient texts that became the Bible.
Before Empires.
Before the many conquests of land and body—there was Her.
The Matriarchy.
The Matriarchy as both figure and system. A way of living and relating. A way of being that remembered where all life came from: the Cosmic Womb.
But even before the Matriarchy, there was Gaia—abundant and fertile, with life gestating in Her waters. A microcosm of the macrocosm that was Great Mother’s Cosmic Womb and Her amniotic seas.
And before Gaia’s life-giving waters came Great Mother Herself. Pulsating with a rich darkness, pregnant with codes of divine light. She who is the container of which all life will spring. She who carries the seeds of creation. Mama Soul. The formless blackness—self-creating, self-knowing, self-pleasuring, self-healing.
And She was Whole. Balanced. Harmonic.
In essence, She was androgynous, containing all polarities—for duality had not yet been born. She was feminine and masculine, light and dark, birth and death, chaos and order. She was All. Both/and. All/none.
An infinite Source.
B. Parthenogenesis: The Self-Birthing Power of the Feminine
Parthenogenesis is a memory. It is ancestral science buried beneath the rubble of empire and time. It is the sacred art of creation without external seed. Conception by light, by will, by sound, by Source.
The word itself screams HERstory, so let us explore the etymology so that we can tap deeper into this remembrance:
parthenogenesis (n.)1
“reproduction without fertilization or sexual union.” 1849
Breaking this word down we get:
Parthenos — Greek for “Virgin,”2
but not the chaste, obedient girl we've been force-fed—
Virgin in its truest form meant "she who is sovereign, she who belongs to no one." This is an independent creatrix, yes?Genesis — “origin, birth, beginning.”3
I like to go as far back as possible to truly know and feel the meaning of a word, so let’s further explore the word genesis (parthenos is of unknown origin so we will leave it at the Greek definition).
-genesis
"origin, creation, generation," from gignesthai "to be born," related to genos "race, birth, descent" (from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups).
So to me, Parthenogenesis means the origin of birth is from the sovereign one.
In ancient times, parthenogenesis was not anomaly, rather it was legacy that was passed through temple lineages, womb to womb, priestess to priestess. It was encoded in ritual and protected in silence.
Before the womb was medicalized, monetized, militarized—
it was revered as the original alchemical chamber. Not just for human babies, but for whole worlds, whole civilizations, whole timelines.
I believe this is a practice that beings on many different planets and star systems undergo—thus it being the ORIGEN of Earth, because Earth is very new in comparison to other places, and what was seeded here has been a make-up of other places.
And so, Parthenogenesis was practiced, preserved, and prophesied
in sacred mystery schools and solar temples across the ancient world:
In Ancient Kemet, the neteru (deities) understood that the womb was a holy portal. Isis (Auset)—goddess of 10,000 names, resurrected Osiris with magic and conceived Horus through her own divine will and rite—not through traditional sex.4
In India, Shakti gives birth to all of creation through her dance and vibration. Nada Brahma—the world is sound. Creation begins through her movement alone.
In Dogon cosmology, the womb is a portal to the Sirius star system, and the original ancestors were born from water and sky.5 6
In Mayan cosmology, Ix Chel, moon goddess and midwife, is known to create through her own blood and bones, weaving children from starlight and storm. As well as Aztec and Polynesian Myths, there are Creatix dieties who birth from seafoam, starlight, or volcanic blood.7
This may sound like fiction, but it is HERSTORY. Some of the greatest fiction stories told through text and film are hijacked and distorted versions of HERSTORY.
Even Mother Maryam (Mary)—who far from the passive figure of modern religion, was likely a trained high initiate in the Sophianic Mysteries. She belonged to an Essene priestess lineage that preserved parthenogenetic wisdom, and her “immaculate conception” wasn’t accidental or random—it was spiritually initiated.8 A Male God did not impregnate her, for she did this herself, and it was a conscious act of cosmic union as she agreed to bring in the Solar Masculine Christ frequency through her womb. She was chosen because she had trained for ages to open her womb to the Solar Logos frequency without physical union.
This is the ancient priestess technology of womb alchemy. We’re talking beyond birthing babies, but birthing consciousness, birthing light.
As I’ve been deep into the Magdalene Mysteries lately, I have been feeling like Mother Mary and Mary Magdelene who share the same name are actually the same person. Let us call them their original name because it holds a particular frequency. Maryam. And if they truly are the same person, then SHE is the original Solar (Feminine) Christ who gives birth to the Solar Masculine Christ. If we play with this idea, the distortion of this origin story goes deeper than it did when we remembered Maryam—Yeshua’s “Lover” wasn’t a prostitute at all but a priestess and disciple. So if she was actually his Mother, not his Lover, why would they twist and distort this story so? I’ll get into that another time as I’m still pondering this myself.
So Maryam—like Isis, like Sophia, was part of an ancient lineage of wombkeepers who understood:
The womb is a living grail.
The womb remembers the first spark.
The womb doesn’t always need the phallus to ignite the flame, for the feminine IS the flame.
C. The Energetic Mechanics of Parthenogenesis
Now, let us go deeper—beyond flesh, into frequency.
Parthenogenesis didn’t require sperm because she was already seeded. The womb wasn’t passive, waiting to be fertilized from man—it was magnetic, and it responded to light, sound, emotion, intention. I say was, but this truth still is, and I know our womb technology must be cleared away of trauma, healed, and restored to its original frequency to remember these ancient ways.
These were the original energetic mechanics of the womb:
Resonance over penetration
Creation was sparked through high-frequency alignment—
mantras, breathwork, solar rays, orgasmic current, crystalline waters. The womb was activated through devotional practice, not intercourse.The womb as Grail
Just as sound can vibrate matter into form, the priestess womb was attuned to Source frequency. It could translate spirit into matter through pure intention and energy.Ovulation as sacred moment
At the height of her fertility, in states of trance, prayer, or ecstasy, a woman could conceive by drawing down divine life force. Through her pineal gland (the star gate), she could call in a soul from the higher realms, and her womb would receive and embody the light.Breath and Blood as Code Carriers
In many temples, breathwork was used to oxygenate and charge the reproductive system. Menstrual blood was revered as holy plasma, full of stem cells,used in ceremonies and healing rites. This was bioenergetic science.
Parthenogenesis is metaphysical, spiritual, archetypal.
It’s about reclaiming the truth that:
The feminine is not dependent.
The feminine is not incomplete.
The feminine holds the codes of original creation.
The womb is a cosmic temple and portal between dimensions.
This is why it was suppressed. Why the temples were burned.
Why the priestesses were hunted. Because if the womb can create life from within herself—if women could remember this divine power—
the whole illusion of patriarchal dependence would collapse, instantly.
Parthenogenesis reminds us that we can create without approval, validation, or fertilization.That the seed is already inside. That the codes are already within. That we are the origin.
The Feminine is the Original Architect, and these codes are still inside us, waiting to be awakened.
Womb Remembrance Practice
A practice to come home to your body, activate your creative sexual life-force, deepen your intuition + psychic sight, and restore your connection to the feminine rhythms of Earth.
✧ Best done on the New Moon, during your flow, or when you feel called to renew your connection to Source within.
You’ll need:
A quiet, uninterrupted space
A candle (black, red, or white)
Rose oil or castor oil (optional)
Journal & pen
A mirror (for womb gazing, optional)
A bowl of water (to represent the Primordial Womb)
Part I: Create the Temple
Dim the lights. Light the candle.
Place the bowl of water before you as a symbol of the Cosmic Womb.
Anoint your womb space (just below your navel) with oil in slow circles—clockwise.
Sit or lie down, place both hands over your womb, and breathe deeply into her for 3–5 minutes. With every exhale, soften into her. With every inhale, invite remembrance.
Part II: Speak the Words
Whisper or speak aloud this remembrance incantation (feel free to create your own instead):
"I return to the Womb that birthed me.
I remember that I am whole.
I am the daughter of the formless dark.
I am the mother of light.
I carry the codes of creation.
I am the temple.
I am the grail.
I am the gateway and the giver.
From within me, all things are born.
From within me, I birth myself again."
Repeat 3x. Let your voice deepen. Let your cells listen. Let your womb respond.
Part III: Activate the Womb-Heart Circuit
Begin to gently rock your pelvis or sway your spine like a serpent.
Imagine a current of golden light spiraling between your womb and heart.
As you breathe, visualize this light growing stronger with each cycle.
Say aloud:
“I open the womb-heart channel. I open the parthenogenetic portal within me.”
Bask in the sensation of self-sourced energy. Cry if you need to. Laugh if it arises. Stay until you feel full.
Journal Prompts for Remembrance & Inner Creation
What parts of me are ready to be re-born from within myself?
When have I given my creative power away—and how do I reclaim it now?
What does ‘virgin’ mean to me—outside of patriarchal distortion?
Do I believe it's possible to create life, art, or energy without external input? Why or why not?
If my womb were a temple, what rituals would take place inside her?
What memories or ancestral codes awaken in me when I meditate on parthenogenesis?
Where am I still waiting to be chosen, rather than choosing myself?
Optional Closing: Gaze at your reflection (either full body or just your womb space) and say:
“I am the one I’ve been waiting for.
I am the origin.
Within my Womb, worlds are birthed.”
Blow out your candle and offer a few drops of your bowl water back to the Earth, the sink, or your plants, saying:
“May this remembrance ripple outward across all space and time.”
And so it is my sisters.
Thank you so much for being here.

Full resonance ripples while I savored what you have shared here. I love the pithy way you have gathered, integrated, condensed, and then presented all of this. So many pieces I have encountered over the years, but this woven whole you share is Transmission. My birth teacher Whapio teaches about parthenogenesis during the module that covers conception. She offers the knowledge coming from ancient Khemet that Light and Sound are the two components of conception -- in what we think of as regular conception the Light is provided by the sperm with their luminous mitochondrial energy packs that allow them the ability to make pilgrimage through the yoni temple. The Sound, the ripened egg herself, vibrating and spinning, radiating her song and signal. And the fact remains, each ripened egg contains all the genetic material necessary for conception, gestation, and full flowering form - She "shuffles" her chromosomes, presents half to the golden sperm, and retains half until conception via union with the male element of Light is successful - then she releases those chromosomes back to the fertile void of her pure potential. Light, however as we know, does not need to or even actually originate in the external, but is an internal phenomenon. Inner, within the hidden dimensions of conscious-awareness...and so, as you share, through shared-knowledge, devotion, and practice, Light may be allowed to permeate in such a way as to actualize the inherent fertility within the womb. Whapio tells that several decades ago, science performed a test on mice (of course) and used a laser (Light) to fertilize the ripened ovum. Actual parthenogenesis occurred, and this article was published in a science magazine.
Also, I love how the name Maryam tones - I feel you, that this name holds codes.
I meant to mention, when you shared that you moved to Nevada City, that I love that area (including Grass Valley). We spend seven months of the year in the Carson Valley (which is over the mountains into NV near Tahoe), and sometimes we will take a day trip, and amongst other things visit Mezé, one of my absolute favorite restaurants on earth!
