which way to priestdom

Is it a force of argument
Or lateral thought
Always at the beginning
There were women they were sought
Their life force took them closer
To the egg and to the soul
They had the power of wisdom
And the reasoning role

There was nothing random
The assumption for me
Was they controlled the process
Of creation they were key
They had instinctive knowledge
And intuitiveness to gain
A sixth sense and a whole lot more
A viable refrain
They had seen it all before
Were witnesses and thus were sure
Within them undeniably
A new life grew and had to be

Protected really at all cost
Whilst life went on with stresses tossed
The uncertainties and the treachery
And the changeability
Through all of this a women shone
Revealing and healing
Within and on
She had conviction and implicit belief
Her place of honour and true relief

Women as healers as priests maybe
As teachers of men propitiously
They had the power wrapped up in a smile
Able in fact to reconcile
To manage and teach to prove and show
The masculine student what they know
On the basic level all in the head
But retaining the heart
Which I feel has led
To what we really see today
Patriarchy on display
Its about levels and instinctive power
Deductive reasoning on the hour
ESP and inspiration
Telepathy its their salvation

So for me it comes as no surprise
Why would they have sought disguise
Painters mostly were men so they
Would follow instructions would just obey
Women would Work from deep within
From the occult folklore and would win
The inner battles they were aware
And worked their magic everywhere

Its not within the masculine sphere
Foresight overcome by fear
Never prophetic in the same way
And were out of it I am forced to say
Covered in glory and regalia they
Became soothsayers of the day
But reality proves
A stronger desire
For the female form
And the feminine fire
