aims to uncover the realities of women’s lives, internationally and across time, asking questions about patriarchy and slavery, and aboriginality. About mother-right, female spheres of power, indigenous philosophies of spirit– and the historical chemistry of their repression. Even more important, their role in resisting oppression.

As we reach the Summer Solstice, we take the needed time to reconnect and to remember what is truly important. As I was cleaning through a pile of work that I meant to file a few years ago (yes I truly am that behind and disorganized), I came across a phenomenal essay by Carol P. Christ entitled The Courage to Create Peace. In it she offers us these wise words for perilous times:
I believe that the Goddess path is the path of peace. Our motto must be: Make love, not war. In Rebirth of the Goddess, I named Nine Touchstones of the ethics of Goddess religion. Nurture life. Walk in love and beauty. Trust the knowledge that comes through the body. Speak the truth about conflict, pain, and suffering. Take only what you need. Think about the consequences of your actions for seven generations. Approach the taking of life with great restraint. Practice great generosity. Repair the web. If we think deeply about the meaning of each of these touchstones of our spirituality, we can see that war is very rarely if ever the solution to the problems we face.
Rejoice, listen deeply and remain humbly strong. Happy Solstice.
