Juana de Asbaje: Two Phases of a Moon

Abstract

This article deals with feminine mysticism about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, who in the “First phase” dwells in the bosom of the moon as the room of her own intelligence so that, from there, a point of silence in which articulates her verses, the second phase arrives to expand the reflection of her poetic soul to the world, in this case, to eight conventual pens: nuns who requested her signs for the exercise of love through letters and her solace, called the Sovereign Assembly.
