Self Cared My Way Into Having No Social Media Except This Religious Blog And I Just Almost Reblogged

I very much believe that we need a feminine focused spirituality, one with structure and solid foundations.

I see the deep heart need for worshiping the feminine divine, for feminine driven community, and for a celebration of all aspects of the feminine divine.

For so long, we have been constricted by patriarchal religion, and this has been to such a detriment for those who feel Her call.

I am hopeful that, within my lifetime, Her presence is more broadly felt and strong communities can band together so we can worship to our heart need, and create stronger and more resilient and loving communities.

Was just reminded that it can be confusing to switch blog names and since I completely changed my theme too I guess I'm doing my first name update ever 💗

"When God first made people, She did not put them on this earth, but kept them with Her in Heaven. It was so beautiful in Heaven, that I can hardly begin to describe it. But after a time, some of Her children disobeyed Her, and wandered away from Heaven.

Now Heaven is a place for perfectly good people, and because these children were disobedient, ‘they could not find their way back. But God sent Her Daughter, Inanna to help them, and Inanna created a new place for them to live, and this new place was called the earth.

When She first created it, the world was so fresh and bright and beautiful that if you could see it, you would say that Heaven could not be any more wonderful than that (but if you had seen Heaven, you would know that it could!).

When people first came to earth, it was called the Golden Age. People were not stuck in their physical bodies the way we are, they could just "step" out of them. They could travel to another place just by thinking about it. They could understand the language of birds and animals, and build a Temple in the air without wood or stones or any other physical material.

Great princesses ruled over the cities, and everyone was happy under their reign, because like true princesses, they did not rule according to their own likes and dislikes, but ruled in obedience to God and Her laws. These laws are so perfect that when maids live by them, they are always perfectly happy."

When I was a kid I was so offended when I found out there were Ken dolls in my Barbie universe and I was asked if I didn't need one of those to play with. Bc I already had my Bratz doll and my Barbie and they were the only meaningful opposites to me. And I really haven't changed at all cause that's how I feel when people question my goddess oriented beliefs
