Deep in the sacred waters of the Arctic, where icy waves crash and silence speaks volumes, lives a goddess whose story may chill the bones and yet ignite the soul. Her name is Sedna—the Inuit Sea Goddess, daughter of betrayal, sovereign of the underworld ocean, and embodiment of a raw, untamed divine feminine energy that refuses to be silenced.

Sedna’s story is one of deep pain and powerful transformation. According to Inuit mythology, Sedna was betrayed—either by her father, who cast her into the sea, or by a husband who deceived her. In many versions, as she tried to climb back into the boat, her father chopped off her fingers. Her severed fingers became the sea creatures—seals, whales, and fish—and Sedna sank to the bottom of the ocean, where she became goddess of the marine depths.

Yet Sedna is not just a tragic figure. She is a survivor. A ruler. A reminder that even when everything is ripped away—our trust, our safety, our very identity—we have the capacity to rise, reshape, and reign from the very depths of our pain.

Why Sedna Matters Today

Sedna’s myth mirrors the lived experiences of many women who have been betrayed, silenced, or cast aside. In a world where emotional wounds are often glossed over or minimized, Sedna teaches that rage, grief, and pain have a place—and that through facing them, we reclaim our power.

She is a divine feminine archetype of transformation through betrayal. She speaks to the women who have been burned but now bless others from their scars. She invites us to descend into our own emotional depths, not to drown, but to find the strength hidden beneath the waves.

Today’s Divine Feminine Prompt: Practice Radical Forgiveness

Sedna’s energy asks us to release resentment, not to forget the betrayal, but to free ourselves from the hold it has over our sacred feminine power.

Today, take a moment to sit in quiet reflection. Write a letter to someone you are ready to forgive. You don’t have to send it. Just express the truth. Allow the words to flow like water. Release the emotional weight, for you—not for them.

Then, give yourself grace. You’re not weak for letting go. You’re reclaiming your rightful space at the throne of your own inner kingdom.

How to Embody Sedna’s Divine Feminine Energy

• Let your wounds be part of your wisdom.
• Understand that survival is sacred.
• Remember that your intuition, like the ocean, runs deep—trust it.
• Protect what is precious—your truth, your peace, your voice.

Sedna teaches us that even from the depths of despair, life and abundance can emerge. The creatures of the sea were born from her pain—what could be born from yours?

You are not alone in your sorrow or your strength. You are seen, sovereign, and safe to rise.

Continue Your Journey

This April, we honor the divine feminine through the many faces of goddess energy. Sedna shows us that healing doesn’t come by bypassing pain—but by honoring it, and choosing ourselves again and again.

Tomorrow, we rise again with another goddess of strength and beauty. But today, give yourself permission to feel. To heal. To forgive.

Because, like Sedna, your power begins when you stop grasping and start becoming.
