The Divine Feminine has been disparaged, disrespected and discarded for too long. But it was't always like this.

Connecting with Planetary Energies, Cycles and Ancient Goddess Cultures with Maria WheatleyIn our stressful, fast-paced culture that focuses primarily on physical reality, subtle energies are often shrugged off due to their immaterial nature.

Which is exactly why the Christian church destroyed ancient libraries, appropriated pagan holidays and gods and made it their global mission (literally) to subvert all pagan and indigenous cultural, spiritual and religious practices.
