As a tarot reader and spiritual counselor, I've had many a woman open up and allow me the honor of witnessing her tears. From a single, silent tear rolling down a somber cheek, to a waterfall of emotional cleansing, I've seen it all. And far too often these tears have been accompanied by an apology.

Why, I wonder, do women feel we need to apologize for something as beautiful and as honest as our tears? Why do we feel shame when we purge ourselves of pent up emotions and allow the natural cleansing energy of our tears to wash over us?

Is it because we've been conditioned to believe that our tears make us vulnerable? Or are we fearful that we'll be judged as weak or emotional if we allow our tears to be shed in front of others, and so we shamefully hide them away?

Well let me just set the record straight by saying that although your tears may be a sign of compassion, empathy, frustration, sadness, pain or even anger… they are NOT a sign of weakness.

In fact, the tears of a woman (or any human being for that matter!) are a cleansing, healing force in the world and should never be a seen as a source of shame.

The Norse Goddess Freya knew this secret, and so did her followers. In fact, Freya’s tears were so honored by her people that they were said to turn to gold before making their way to the sea. Now these folks knew the value of a woman's tears.

And believe me when I tell you that your tears are no less sacred than those of the ancient Goddess. Your tears are made of the same powerful stuff that the oceans are made of ~ the oceans that cover 2/3 of the Earth, whose depths hold some of the planet’s greatest secrets, and whose waters provide life for countless sea creatures.

So let your golden tears flow freely to the ocean, just as Freya did. Because a true Goddess knows the depths of her own emotions, recognizes the transformational power of expressing them, and never needs to apologize for her tears!
