Intuition - Knowing but not from knowledge.
January 2, 2026
Intuition comes from the gut. Our first brain. Some people call it women’s wisdom. It’s a knowing which doesn’t fit the rational model. A sensing which goes beyond the five senses. Highly sensitive people tend to have intuition as part of their skills set. A sort of radar system.
The Celtic people from Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and Portugal, denoted intuition - which they called inner knowing and spiritual insight - with the triple spiral - the Triskele.
During my pilgrimage through northern Portugal, I often see the symbols of the ancient Celts. I feel at home with their deep rooted meanings. They speak to me. Several years back I went to the west coast of Ireland to work with Dr Sharon Blackie, an expert in Celtic mythology. At a time when my soul was chomping at the bit to re-wild itself and be untethered, she provided much needed food to help me process my women wisdom which was re-remembering its feminine lineage. Her book - If Women Rose Rooted- is a must for those other women seeking a deeper grasp of their intuitive well. Getting back to source provides nourishment not only for our intuition but also our embodied empowerment.
