no amount of women hating men on the internet will compare to the acts of misogynistic violence men commit. you can control the media you want to consume, you can not control the acts of others out in the real world. stop comparing women posting “i hate men” to men killing women out there. misandry isn’t real.

Dianic/ Feminist/Goddess reads I've completed and recommend:

Ruth Barret's Women's rites, Women's mysteries. Generally teaches you how to approach priestess work and I will get it when embarking in my priestess journey in a physical copy. Moved me to tears at some points and it may trigger some who have mother issues.

Rebirth of the Goddess, Carol Christ. Actually moved me to tears in many parts and generally talks about the birth of the Goddess movement

The Living Goddess, Marija Gimbutas. Has inspired many sketches due to the lovely collection of Goddess work it has and has deeply soothed me

Keeping her Keys, Cyndi Brannen, first introduction to Hekate and her movement.

Hekate, Her sacred fires, Sorita D'Este. The introduction is a splendid recap of The Goddess's history and a rough timeline of all of her recorded existence

The Witch's path by Thorn Mooney winch i made a more in depth review here: (( As a side note it's gender friendly but none the less a useful manual))

Goddess in Everywoman by Jean Shinoda Bolen: An introduction of how Goddesses may appear on a woman's life as Archetypes. Leans on Jungian Analysis. Is an interesting way of looking at your own personal development. I've read this in a rather long time ago and debated since then including or not but it is female centered and uses the Goddess and her imagery, thus I'll allow it

Dance of The Dissident daughter By Sue Monk. Like Lisa Lister's The Witch it's the memoir of a woman coming into the Goddess. Generally Powerful read if a woman needs to unravel growing up in the bowels of patriarchal thought. Does lean on annoying female-male duality that I dislike but doesn't take away from how resonant it is none the less.

A Deusa do Jardim das Hesperides By Luiza Frazão, a goddess oriented book in Portuguese focusing on the Goddess in this specific part of the world! A wonderful book detailing the tradition that The Authoress created from the celtic inspired tradition of Avalon.

Witch: Unleashed, Untamed, Unapologetic by Lisa Lister. Part Time Memoir, Part Time actual spell book, Lisa Lister's Witch is a treat to go through. It's rather casual in its tone but all the same relies a lot of feminine wisdom with an unabashed love for the female body and exclusion of men and Trans Id men from the discussion as it should. Slight male fangirling and "Patriarchy hurts man too you guyz", so be forewarned. Still an enjoyable book to pick up!

I am in the process of reading more and definetly have more on my pile to read but this one's I have completed with most certainty and can recommend to people interested in Goddess specific things. Many of this can be found in Pdfs on Z-library if accessed through a tor browser or the brand new Anna's Archive. If curious about any books I can attempt to provide a pdf.

Coming soon: A deeper look into female spirituality @spiraldancer

...In this foraging society, it turns out, grandmothers were more important to child survival than fathers. Mom and grandma were keeping the kids fed. Not Man the Hunter.

This finding led Hawkes to completely re-evaluate what she thought she knew about human evolution. Grandmothers were crucial in this environment to childhood survival. So maybe it wasn't an accident that humans are the only great ape species in which women live so long past reproductive age. If having a helpful grandmother increased a kid's chances of survival, natural selection may well have started selecting for older and older women.

Sarah Hrdy is a primatologist at U.C. Davis who also studies connections between child-rearing and human evolution. She has spent a lot of time thinking and writing about a related topic. She says, "An ape that produced such costly, costly slow-maturing offspring as we have could not have evolved unless mothers had a lot of help." First among these helpers, she thinks, would have been grandma – likely joined eventually by many other new helpers, who could have included fathers, aunts, uncles and siblings.

If young kids were being fed by people besides mom, she thinks that over evolutionary time, this could have led humans to develop the deep social orientation that characterizes our species – to care so much about the thoughts and intentions of other people. She says, "People often try to explain the fact that humans are so good at cooperating by saying, well, we needed to cooperate in order to succeed at big game hunting, or so that men in one group could bond with other men to go wipe out the neighboring group. What that doesn't do is explain why these traits emerge so early."

I know the overwhelming majority of Tumblr users are teens to early twenties, but I want to tell you now, while you are still young, that this is not the height of your life. Your value does not diminish as soon as you hit thirty. You do not lose your relevance or your value once you stop being able to produce children. Your wisdom and your power matures with you.

Rune Reading for the month of March:

Berkano, Naudhiz, Othala

I read this as "women need protection". Although Othala usually means home or ancestral land, for those of us in the United States women are being attacked in our own homes, our reproductive rights stripped, our autonomy and agency challenged.

March is the month of action. In it, we feminist witches & pagans, and our allies must stand up for our rights of self determination. I encourage you to write to your congressperson sometime this month and encourage them to support federal protection for women's reproductive rights:

PS: I have a sneaking suspicion that Freyja influenced my draw here, lol 🤣

Ariadne's Thread: A Workbook on Goddess Magic ( Shekhinah Mountain Water).

Cycle 1: Questions to Ponder

To Kick off This Blog I've decided to Answer the questions within Cycle one:

First one is: What is a Witch?

If I am to look at the English word, it's derived from the Germanic word, Witch, as in Wise woman and essentially that is what a witch is to me, a Wise woman that knows herself intimately and therefore knows the world around her as she can be guided by her intuition.

The Word "Bruxa" is derived from the Word Bricta, Likely the root word that "Bridget" or " Brigid" was derived from and it means enchantment or magic or spell if you will. I see this word then relating Bruxa deeply with the Goddess, namely the Bruxa being a worker for The Goddess in all her forms.

The Witch/ Bruxa therefore becomes a symbol of Woman's myths and deep inner wisdom but also becomes a symbol of the wild untamed spirit of women that Patriarchy has repressed and demonized and her resurgence spells to me the beginning of the end of the Repression of Her and of her Daughters.

The second question that was posed by the book is whenever or not I see myself as a witch and short answer is: Yes. Long answer is that I see my ease with identifying with the term as me coming home after trying to squeeze myself so hard in patriarchal institution and thoughts; from being overly skeptical to trying to become a Christian girl; none fit like being a witch and a follower of my goddesses nearly as well and blends my love of Mythology, beauty, nature and reverence to The Female form that I did not find in overly ascetic religions and spirituality and in overly rigid atheism and In Phallocentric thinking.

Third question is what Makes a woman a witch?

I suppose in other times just a woman claiming to be a witch would be enough, but as both witch and women become shredded beyond compression as terms ( including males in the definition of women for example and regressive gender roles in New age spiritualities with a poor understanding of what constitutes as Divine Feminine), I suppose I am somewhat of a gatekeeper of a term. I suppose the closest people to embody the witch are those willing to help their fellow sisters when comes the need and that becoming one's Proper witch self comes with time, effort, trial and error and the general wisdom gained from the passage of time and deep immersion in the Self and Of The Goddess. I suppose it's why witches have been associated with Crones or the elderly woman in general; it may indicate that a Woman or Witch Woman is at her most powerful when aged or aging. I do think we all have innate magical qualities, some more developed then others and that a magical path is a girl and woman's best friend into developing such skills.

From the 4th question, I actually did grow up in a culture that suspected of the witch and saw her as a force of spite and evil even if many relied on witches to heal themselves. I've always been uncomfortable with this stories but am reclaiming this role for myself as even the negative connotations I feel strip the witch of her moral complexities I think. I'm sadden by those burned and killed to this day when accused of witchcraft, even if they weren't actually "witches" in the proper term; it does show that everyone is seemigly afraid of a woman's power and will burn her for it. I'm mixed on the idea of Goddess religion becoming even more mainstream and accepted, in a sense I have plenty to thank to many groups of outrageous women that helped pave the way for current Pagan thought, but I suppose I'm sadden how little traditions are 100% female focus or don't try to insert some heterocentric form of duality in it.

I elucidated my religious background further above, but yes I did go through a period of catechism thanks to my abusive mom but I was deeply uncomfortable by the idea of God and of a male God and was critical of male religion as the tool of social coercion that it was, winch my father tried to stir me into Atheism; but rather then fully indulging in that I became Agnostic for a bit until I decided to research into Wicca and had many of my thoughts and feelings affirmed by dozens of pieces of Pagan thought and never looked back. As I delved deeper into feminism and female spiritual thought, it has led to my goddess focused lean right now. Needless to say and to answer the 6th question my spiritual background has little to do with the Goddess and is actual opposite of it in many regards.

7th question asks me if I believe in a conscious being that can create life and the universe and how this being is; I like the idea of a Creatix instead of a Creator and see much of everything as tending to be female. Even many "male energies" I see as being Her all along. I suppose I believe in Passive energies and Active ones, Offensive vs Defensive, Kind Vs Harsh rather the n a strictly male-female polarity, male and female meant for each other way.

The 8th question asks how The concept of Goddess affects me; and needless to say I've always been enamored by Goddeses of Greek myth and much to no one's shock im a Greek hellenic devotee.

The final Question asks who or what is the Goddess; even if I believe in her as an actual creative energy, I feel we relate to her through powerful symbology to embody her power and to better worship her. We feel naturally attuned to Her and recognize her as a primordial mother that we as her daughters do things to please and she in turn helps us and our lives by giving guidance and meaning to.

And thus I'm closing off Cycle 1 of the book. Thanks for reading.

i do not care about men’s rights.

to act as if men’s problems were and are caused by anything and anyone but men is intellectually dishonest or plain stupid. the patriarchy this, the patriarchy that. i am fully aware that the patriarchy does not 100% benefit men, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t designed to. men have higher suicide rates, are constantly fucked over in divorce and alimony cases, blah blah, but whose fucking fault is that? men will complain about child custody but will turn around and advocate for the fact that women are naturally more inclined to care for children, that we’re softer and, quite frankly, just breeding machines. men are in the light they hate specifically because of the light they placed women in; you hate that you’re not allowed to show weakness, but you’re the ones who actively spout that idea. i have never known a woman to tell me or a man that men shouldn’t cry, but i’ve seen many boys go around telling their buddies to suck it up — so who’s really the problem? nobody can care for you if you do not first care about yourself, and that’s why i ultimately don’t care anymore.

women owe you nothing. we built, and continue to build on, feminism for us. instead of complaining about what men don’t get, start providing it for yourselves. open up to your friends, and to the friends who will be opened up to, don’t just dismiss it as weakness. don’t immediately run to women, start with your community. women have to start by supporting each other before we can go out and make a difference, so, men, start by supporting each other.

despite men not caring about men, i can confidently say that i have never known a man to care about women. some care about a woman, sure, maybe even a few, but never women in general. i have never known a man, in his own time, to speak about the injustices women face and how he contributes to it, i have never known a man to even think of that. i will not go ahead and tweet “men’s suicide rates are higher” when you refuse to even think about it yourselves. men’s issues are only ever brought up to silence women, or lower their voices, and it’s disgusting. i refuse to speak up for someone who only speaks over me.

men have issues, but there are no “men’s issues”. you have issues because you are a human being (unfortunately) and we have women’s issues because we are not treated as such.

i do not give a fuck about “men’s rights”, “men’s issues” because 1) they don’t exist, and, 2) i will not give my time to something you yourself don’t see as a problem, you fucking idiots.

4. The Emperor

Left: The Forager's Daughter deck Right: Rider-Waite deck

Element: Fire

Planet: Mars

Numerology: 4 represents stability

Keywords: order, authority, leader, structure, protector

Pop culture: Mufasa, Minerva Mcgonagall, Bob (Bob's Burgers), Elrond (LOTR), Yellow Diamond (Steven Universe)

Symbols: The four ram heads on the throne represent Aries/Mars. The ankh they are holding in their right hand is the Egyptian symbol for life. The orb represents the world that they rule. Their red robe is symbolic of passion, power, and energy. Their armor protects them from everything, even emotions. But the river in the background symbolizes that they can be reached with emotion if we go deep enough. Their age shows their wisdom. And the mountains in the back mean they have a solid, immovable foundation.

Quotes: "Happiness is not a matter of intensity, but of balance, order, rhythm, and harmony." Thomas Merton; "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." John C. Maxwell; "A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus." Martin Luther King Jr.

I felt very opposed to the emperor when I first started reading about them. I'm a feminist and this just seemed like the "patriarchy" card. I've really been trying to keep gender out of the cards, but this one is hard. Listening to the Between the Worlds podcast really helped me, though. They did a great job of addressing the patriarchy and toxic masculinity parts of this card, while also talking about all the good things, too. This card is for when I need to get my life back in order. There's an order to everything, even in nature, and it's a good thing. I need rocks in my life to hold onto. Like my husband or my mom or my daily bowl of cereal. I think this card could also be a signal to me to recognize the leaders in my life or even question them a bit. I need to make sure they are the right leaders to follow. And lastly, maybe this card could be calling me to leadership. Maybe I need to lead the way in some area of my life.

As part of my study, I use the Tarot Card Meanings Workbook by Brigit Esselmont, biddytarotcard.com, brainyquotes.com (I use the card’s keywords to search for quotes that speak to me), Pinterest to look at other artistic interpretations, and Between the Worlds podcast.
