Symbols have power in the collective consciousness. They're not accidents. Ancient people, unable to read and write, communicated complex ideas using symbols of which the sacred pubic triangle is one.

published several papers and authored a recent book titled "She Who Hunts - Artemis, The Goddess Who Changed the World."  Dr. Carla has become a respected authority on the subject and her work has not only advanced our understanding of ancient beliefs and rituals, but has also rekindled interest in the Goddess' role in shaping herstorical events.  We'll delve into Artemis, including the Ephesian Letters, her connection to Mary, Mother of Jesus, connections between ancient beliefs and modern cultural practice, what she means by Artemis as the "wild" Goddess, and how Artemis has changed the world.  Having both traveled to many of these ancient sites of Goddess, Carla and I have much to discuss!  I'm so excited!]]></description><guid

leading Artemis expert, Dr. Carla Ionescu who has published several papers and authored a recent book titled "She Who Hunts - Artemis, The Goddess Who Changed the World."  Dr. Carla has become a respected authority on the subject and her work has not only advanced our understanding of ancient beliefs and rituals, but has also rekindled interest in the Goddess' role in shaping herstorical events.  We'll delve into Artemis, including the Ephesian Letters, her connection to Mary, Mother of Jesus, connections between ancient beliefs and modern cultural practice, what she means by Artemis as the "wild" Goddess, and how Artemis has changed the world.  Having both traveled to many of these ancient sites of Goddess, Carla and I have much to discuss!  I'm so excited!]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>5044</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>artemis,ephesian letters,goddess of antiquity,goddess relevance,mythology and

books is also a priestess, teacher, initiate in the Reclaiming tradition as well as a devotee of Aphrodite, Hecate, the Norns and Iris.  She's been practicing her spirituality and magick for more than 20 years.  She will share with us her philosophy that life is and humans are love spells, ever experiencing a dance of desire and connection, moving in and out of the heart, always returning to love.  We'll ask her to dig deep and tell us how one knows if a deity is calling them, how to build a relationship with your deities and what she means by "life is a love

vibrant tradition to reinforce the right values in a society that is less than respectful to a broad variety of people based on gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc.  Why do people push back so

controversial Dr. David Hillman, author of The Chemical Muse: Drug Use and the Roots of Western Civilization and Original Sin: Ritual Child Rape in the Early Church, is back!  Today he doesn't disappoint as he provides citations he believes give evidence for the truth behind the "the Mystery," of the Ancient Mystery Cult, originally a sexual rite between adults, until it was "christianized" by Jesus and John the Baptist.    In a pre-dawn raid, Jesus of Nazareth, assuming the sex-cult titles of the “Christ” and the “Morning Star,” was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane while in the company of an unidentified naked boy.  Three adult male associates who were “keeping watch” for Jesus while he was alone with the boy, resisted arresting authorities.  the naked juvenile victim also fled.  Following the pharmacological evidence left behind by contemporary cults, and the history of child rape by the first followers of “The Way,”  Dr. Hillman will answer the questions of what Jesus did with the naked boy who evaded authorities and why, as well as, why we never hear about this naked boy being with Jesus when he was arrested that fateful night.  And Medea, so much more than the crazy and hysterical woman who killed her kids, is perhaps the mother of modern pharmacology.  What did it have to do with extracting snake venom and creating antidotes from breast milk and vaginal secretions.  Another woman denied her rightful place in history. (ADULT CONTENT)  Citations are promised...You're in for a wild ride for sure!  Proves so much of what we know has been censored to fit

very long hiatus, the controversial Dr. David Hillman, author of The Chemical Muse: Drug Use and the Roots of Western Civilization and Original Sin: Ritual Child Rape in the Early Church, is back!  Today he doesn't disappoint as he provides citations he believes give evidence for the truth behind the "the Mystery," of the Ancient Mystery Cult, originally a sexual rite between adults, until it was "christianized" by Jesus and John the Baptist.    In a pre-dawn raid, Jesus of Nazareth, assuming the sex-cult titles of the “Christ” and the “Morning Star,” was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane while in the company of an unidentified naked boy.  Three adult male associates who were “keeping watch” for Jesus while he was alone with the boy, resisted arresting authorities.  the naked juvenile victim also fled.  Following the pharmacological evidence left behind by contemporary cults, and the history of child rape by the first followers of “The Way,”  Dr. Hillman will answer the questions of what Jesus did with the naked boy who evaded authorities and why, as well as, why we never hear about this naked boy being with Jesus when he was arrested that fateful night.  And Medea, so much more than the crazy and hysterical woman who killed her kids, is perhaps the mother of modern pharmacology.  What did it have to do with extracting snake venom and creating antidotes from breast milk and vaginal secretions.  Another woman denied her rightful place in history. (ADULT CONTENT)  Citations are promised...You're in for a wild ride for sure!  Proves so much of what we know has been censored to fit the narratives of those in power]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4053</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>education,jesus and snake venom,medea mother of modern

spirituality actually offer guidance as we attempt to be fierce ecofeminists warriors and we'll examine this more closely.  Grenfell-Muir will give listeners tips on getting in touch with our warrior archetype to help ourselves and others, as well as explore how we can help children develop that archetype in healthy ways.  Songs, stories and people who can help us access/embody the archetype will also be shared.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3901</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>ecofeminist warrior archetypes,feminism is the key to warrior,get in touch with your warrior,religion and

energetic and emotional connection between animals and the people who love them and get into specifics about things like what is the best thing people can do to help their animals feel better, how animals are magnetically drawn to the people they choose to live with and the five emotional core wounds shared by animals and people.  We'll learn about our animal's higher purpose in our lives and I'm going to ask Tammy if animals can read our minds which means if we change our thoughts, maybe, our pets can change their behavior.  All that and more - please tune in.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4598</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>the hidden keys to a deeper an</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image

healing facilitator, Dave Markowitz, author of Self-Care for the Self-Aware: A Guide for Highly Sensitive People, Empaths, Intuitives and Healers has been on Amazon's top 20 list in its category for 41 consecutive months.  From Dave we'll learn about his rather unusual awakening to the awareness of being an Empath and how his work changed from that point forward.  Dave will chat about how empathically transmitted energies can have both subtle and dramatic effects.  We'll delve into high-quality preventative tools designed by Empaths for Empaths and HSPs, the importance of safe space and healing from empathically transmitted pain and illness.  Being an Empath or HSP can be overwhelming as these folks absorb so much energy from others that they can develop their own wymptoms - in this talk, you'll be introduced to the 5 Steps for Healing for the HSP and receive empowering information and tools to heal your lethargy, lack of focus, heavy heartedness, tight muscles or various other forms of pain and illness.  You'll leave our discussion more hopeful, open, connected and vibrant with new abilities to useyour gifts of sensitivity for the betterment of

of us, along with Marija Gimbutas, believed her work would eventually be vindicated.  We ARE the cognitive minority, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to many ideals of the Sacred Feminine, including the work of scholar, Marija Gimbutas.  Tune in tonight as I discuss this wonderful and long awaited development with elders and scholars, Carol Christ and Miriam Robbins Dexter.  In the words of Carol, "The disdain with which the work of archaeologist Marija Gimbutas has been held in the field of classics and archaeology was shown to me when I started quietly at a cocktail party at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens that I was interested in her work.  This comment, tentatively offerred, onleashed a tirade from a  young female archaeologist who began shouting at me:  "Her work unscholarly and because it is, it is harder for me and other women scholars in the field to be taken seriously."   (From the Feminism and Religion blog)  If you're new to this subject, we'll start at the beginning, briefly discussing Marija's findings and why male dominated academia for so long discredited her work, followed by this new revelation by Lord Colin Renfrew, allied with the British Conservative Party.  We'll discuss the politics of this situation as well as other peripheral areas in which this new revelation will no doubt have a domino effect.  You won't want to miss this.  Be sure to tell your friends!  Thanks to Carol Christ for taking to the airwaves for this important discussion.  Certainly a bright spot for us all in a very dark year!]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesofthesacredfeminine/2017/12/28/marija-gimbutas-vindicated-wcarol-christ-miriam-dexter</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Dec 2017 05:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63509853/marija_gimbutas_vindicated_wcarol_christ_miriam_dexter.mp3" length="76343633" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Karen Tate</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Many of us, along with Marija Gimbutas, believed her work would eventually be vindicated.  We ARE the cognitive minority, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to many ideals of the Sacred Feminine, including the work of scholar, Marija...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[Many of us, along with Marija Gimbutas, believed her work would eventually be vindicated.  We ARE the cognitive minority, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up to many ideals of the Sacred Feminine, including the work of scholar, Marija Gimbutas.  Tune in tonight as I discuss this wonderful and long awaited development with elders and scholars, Carol Christ and Miriam Robbins Dexter.

Sacred Feminine (deity, archetype and ideal) has become indelibly integrated into our lives, reminding humanity during this time of crisis that the ideals of the Great She offer a pathway to a secure

leading using their divine intelligence from Goddess teachings to find solutions and sanctuary.  Using the wisdom and activism suggested in sacred feminine liberation thealogy, I will discuss the many

point of the Tarot other than using it to tell the future and why should we focus on the 22 Major Arcanas?  Raina will tell us the difference between an archetypal point of view and a regular reading

manifestation of the 4th dimension or astral realm and that's a good place to work with archetypes to foster social equality.  We'll delve into the military industrial complex creation of the internet and how that must be moved through.past in order to really effect change.  She'll advise what kinds of metaphysical/magickal and practical tools we can use for doing that sort of work without getting sucked into the muck.  Staying informed without being overwhelmed is another important topic we'll visit.  And most importantly, we'll look at the ways the forces that want to prevent progress or roll it back re using those same tools to further their agenda and how we can use their energy against them.  Important stuff to help us manifest that world of justice, peace, partnership and equality we all deserve.  Please tune in.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6151</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>magicak and practical tools fo,self care as an act of resista,the internet as the fourth

My work explores this question by examining both mainstream cultural and religious practices and those of contemporary Pagans, a group of religions that revive some practices of pre-Christian cultures, finding surprising confluences between the two.  My conclusion is that as animals, especially domestic ones, are increasingly granted a place in our family lives, their role in our spiritual imagination is also shifting.  And given the danger to all living species on our planet today, that could be a very good thing.  Dr. Magliocco, a recipient of Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Humanities, Fulbright and Hewlett fellowships, and an honorary Fellow of the American Folklore Society,  has published on religion, folklore, foodways, festival and witchcraft in Europe and the United States, and is a leading authority on the modern Pagan movement. She is the author of numerous books and articles, including The Two Madonnas: the Politics of Festival in a Sardinian Community (1993, 2005), Witching Culture: Folklore and Neo-Paganism in America (2004), Neopagan Sacred Art &amp; Altars: Making Things Whole (2001), and with filmmaker John M.

Next week, returning to the show is foremother Barbara Walker, discussing Feminist Fairy Tales, the title of one of her older books, as well as her latest, Belief and Unbelief, being released in November by Humanist Press.  Then in Week 3, I chat with Lenny Schneir, the partner of the late and beloved Foremother, Merlin Stone, author of the famous book inspiring so many of us -  When God Was a Woman as well as Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6964</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>charlene spretnak,feminist fairy tales,goddess mythology series,pre-olympian goddess myths,pre-patriarchal goddess myths</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/73c36e0c5b6a6279fa5def41dc7df86d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Love Breathe for Earth &amp; Life According to Goddess</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/love-breathe-for-earth-life-according-to-goddess--63510043</link><description><![CDATA[First up tonight, Hillary Raimo, founder of Love, Breathe for Earth, a well known psychic medium, ordained nondenominational minister, master Reiki healer and shamanic practitioner will discuss the ideals of co-creation vs competition, walking the talk, healing the personal and collective wounds, and why experiential is the new movement.  Hillary explains living spontaneously and aligned with synchromysticism and how we might co-create a new world in alliance with Nature.

The personal is the political and Flash will share positive ways to make the most of the planetary energies to revolutionize/evolutionize our paths towards relationship, transformation and healing.     ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6749</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>channeling mary magdalene,feminine soul,ignite your passion,mary magdalene,personal transformation</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/73c36e0c5b6a6279fa5def41dc7df86d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Beyond 50 Shades of Grey/Sex, Drugs and Religion in the Ancient World</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/beyond-50-shades-of-grey-sex-drugs-and-religion-in-the-ancient-world--63510336</link><description><![CDATA[I'm calling tonight's show, Beyond 50 Shades of Grey.....not to be sensational but because this interview is not for the faint of heart or sexually repressed.   Dr. David Hillman, returns to fearlessly discuss what his research into ancient times reveals about how closely linked sex, drugs and religion were in the ancient world.  Dr. Hillman, who translates his own Greek and does not have to rely on filtered Christian translations to know what the ancients were up to, cites ancient sources giving us a glimpse into what was going on in the ancient mystery cults and how sacred sexuality exhalted women.  Never a disappointment, David explains why there was no distinction between sex and religion in the ancient world, why Christianity fought so hard against these Pagan practices, why ancient women mounted phallic statues and performed vaginal penetration via stone, inserted snakes in their vaginas and what orgies and orgasms led to in ancient times - not what you think!   This wasn't all about sexual gratification - in fact there was a much higher intention involved.  Dr. Hillman reveals ancient sources who tell us about all this and more -  snake venoms used in cultic sexual rituals popular in Greece and Rome and how classical civilization relied heavily upon the use of cannibis, opiates and hallucinogens, mixed with sexual stimulants.  Not beholding to organized and conservative Academia, Dr. Hillman shares what the ancients were actually saying, not what's politically correct!  You're in for some jaw-dropping stuff so hang on to your seat!

Beane Rutter - Navajo Kinaalda Ceremony/Woman Chang</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/virginia-beane-rutter-navajo-kinaalda-ceremony-woman-chang--63510467</link><description><![CDATA[Tonight it is my great pleasure to have on the show Virginia Beane Rutter discussing the Navajo Kinaalda ceremony and her book, Woman Changing Woman.  We'll also revisit it in relation to the Greek initiation ceremonies for girls.  Time permitting we'll discuss her upcoming book, Ancient Greece/Modern Psyche Archetypes in the Making, particularly a chapter called "Saffron Offering and Blood Sacrifice: Tranformation Mysteries in Jungian Analysis"... Virginia Beane Rutter, MA, MS, is a Jungian analyst who trained at the C. G. Jung Institutes of Zurich and San Francisco. Her first master’s degree in Art History (University of California, Berkeley) and an early sustaining love of Greece developed into a passion for studying ancient myths and rites of passage through art, archaeology, and psychology.

Virginia Beane Rutter, MA, MS, is a Jungian analyst who trained at the C. G. Jung Institutes of Zurich and San Francisco. Her first master’s degree in Art History (University of California, Berkeley) and an early sustaining love of Greece developed into a passion for studying ancient myths and rites of passage through art, archaeology, and psychology. These studies grew out of her clinical practice and coalesced around archetypal themes of initiation as they manifest in the unconscious material of women and men today. She is the author of three books,  Woman Changing Woman: Restoring the Mother-Daughter Relationship (1993 and 2009), Celebrating Girls: Nurturing and Empowering Our Daughters (1996), and Embracing Persephone: How to Be the Mother You Want for the Daughter You Cherish (2000). Her most recent article, “Saffron Offering and Blood Sacrifice: Transformation Mysteries in Jungian Analysis" is a chapter in Ancient Greece, Modern Psyche:Archetypes in the Making which she co-edited

And the Evangelical Right, Tea Party hypocrisy and the bogus Right Wing "historians"]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>7242</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>lady olivia robertson,politics of religion,priestess of isis,steven jones filmmaker,thomas quinn</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/dbd262f128fd713fb1a9f454b18639c5.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Barbara Walker/Man Made God &amp; Patrick McCollum/Goddess Thealogy Rising</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/barbara-walker-man-made-god-patrick-mccollum-goddess-thealogy-rising--63510501</link><description><![CDATA[Beloved Foremother Barbara Walker will discuss her newest book, Man Made God which will include topics such as what's the basic excuse for oppression of women by all three so-called Abrahamic patriarchal religions.
