In this episode of Somali Spirit, we journey into the forgotten sacred power of the feminine in Somali culture — from prehistoric echoes in Laas Geel to the fierce riddle hidden in Araweelo’s name. We explore how women shaped myth and memory through sheeko and buraanbur, embodied divine energy in rituals like saar and sitaat, and how even the names of Allah trace mercy back to the womb. We ask when and why this power was eclipsed, how other cultures followed the same path, and why rebalancing the feminine is vital for a society’s soul and survival.
