The women who get treated the way you want to be treated have already created the life they wanted for themselves. How men treat them is a reflection of what they see in that woman. Don’t expect others to give you things you are not giving yourself. Carry yourself how you expect to be treated.

people like to get shit fucked up. a woman can be as sexual as she damn well pleases. she don't gotta restrict herself, she is limitless, tf. her value does not deplete with the amount of eyes on her or the amount of people that's been in her. she's still a fucking goddess. a woman has her own portal, her womb, she has the power to constantly reinvent herself and create for herself. she even has the power to heal others with her pussy too. she can do all this and more and society expects her to put her head down, be ashamed, and accept her fate as being damaged? no! she don't gotta play by nobody's rules but her own. fuck is you talkin bout.

“Gender identity” is the objectification of the female form/experience. Womban is the interdimensional portal; wombanhood is guttural spiritual matter. Female power strikes terrible awe in the hearts of solar gentlemen. Female blood is the origin of universal life. Mahādevī ensconces Herself in every female body temple. Only womban holds the primordial Queen Cobra. Holy is the one true life-giver/life-taker.

About Artemis Parthenia

In my short time learning about Lady Artemis, I have encountered a lot of discussion and reiteration regarding Her virginal aspect. Since Her cult revolved significantly around this commitment to chastity, it is a topic that must be addressed by anyone interested in an in-depth worship of Her. Still, I have made my own reflections and would like to share these here.

(Please note that I am in no way an expert—just a single worshiper writing down her personal perspective on a vast topic.)

It is a lot to unpack since it is one of the main things that distinguish Her as a deity, so I'll go through the following points:

Virginity and Maidenhood

Artemis as Protector of Girls and Women

Artemis and Childbirth

Patriarchal Views on Chastity

1. Virginity and Maidenhood

Homer describes Artemis as "one of the three" who cannot be swayed by Aphrodite's power. This is how we learn that Artemis has no romantic or sexual interest. (While I acknowledge that many of Her myths and their possible reinterpretations can be read through a sapphic lens, that is not the focus of this discussion.)

What is particularly interesting about Artemis’s detachment from romantic love is that She not only rejects marriage but also actively chooses not to marry. From an idealistic, romantic, and modern perspective, we might imagine Lady Artemis declaring that love will never keep Her from the wild and that no man will ever take that from Her. However, we still get to read myths that describe the moment in which Her father, King Zeus, grants Her the wish to stay an eternal Maiden.

Virginity, in this context, does not mean actual chastity but rather a rejection of marriage to a man.

In contrast to other married goddesses, one can only imagine how offensive it would have been to lust after a maiden goddess—something reflected in the many myths where Artemis punishes those who violate Her privacy. Thus, "virgin" or "maiden" became a title that imposed limits on how men perceived girls and women.

This leads me to my second point.

2. Artemis Soteira, Hêmerasia, Philomeirax & Paidotrophos.

When we look at other virginal goddesses like Hestia and Athene, we could go through their cults and analyse why their aspects as maidens are relevant to their domains, but what about Artemis?

Lady Artemis is not only, along with Lord Apollon, the protector of Lady Leto (their mother, who was abandoned in Her time of need); She is also the protector of girls—their untamed nature, their growth through puberty, and their well-being once they are married off and considered women.

Artemis, as the protector of girls and women, remains a maiden because She transcends the control that men have over girls. Her independence and fierceness as the Lady of Beasts is a power no man can overcome, and for that reason, She is a threat to those who would seek to violate what She most fiercely protects: the innocence and autonomy of young girls.

Artemis must be depicted as a maiden not because She must be pure and chaste but because She is an adult, powerful goddess who represents the right of little girls to choose their own futures.

Taking my own perspective, I can imagine Lady Artemis choosing not to marry because of Her love for the freedom found in the wild. As if She wants to share the gift of choice with all, She calls women to Her sanctuaries, offering them a refuge from forced marriages.

"Come with me and be free."

3. Artemis Orsilokhia

So, how can a virgin goddess also be the protector of mothers?

Just imagine being married to a man your father chose for you, being forced into sexual intercourse because it is your duty to bear an heir, and suddenly, you have this little baby—yours to carry, yours to nurture, yours to bring into a world that has wronged you.

Artemis understands the love of a mother, whether it comes from choice or coercion. She knows this because Her own mother suffered while bringing the godly twins into the world. One could say that She held Leto’s hand as Apollon was born.

Here is where I could go on and on into an in-depth analysis of the myth of Kallisto—since, in my opinion, Lady Artemis would never kill a pregnant woman out of rage—but I will save that for another post.

All I want to say, since this post is already long, is that if we examine how earlier civilizations viewed sex, we see that it was often directly tied to procreation. Sex frequently meant childbirth. In this sense, one could argue that Artemis is also a goddess of sex—not as an act of pleasure but as a force of nature. She is a protector against rape and sexual violence, a judge of those who mistreat their partners in intimacy, and a caretaker of those who bear the fruits of fertility.

Once again, Lady Artemis is not against sex or pregnancy. She is a goddess of freedom, and because of that, She is a goddess of choice—of the ability to decide whether to be a mother, a wife, or neither.

4. Chastity Culture and Artemis’s Priestesses

What I dislike most about the modern interpretation of Artemis as a virgin goddess is how it has been used as an excuse to police the sexual behavior of women.

Yes, Artemis’s priestesses were once required to be virgins. Yes, a vow of chastity was demanded. But based on everything I have discussed so far, doesn’t it make more sense for Her priestesses to be free with their bodies as they choose? Why do I still see people asking Artemis’s priestesses if they have taken a vow of chastity? Why does it matter?

Let me put it this way: as the Lady of the Wild and the Mistress of Beasts, how can we even begin to imagine the untamed forces of life without sex?

This may be a controversial opinion, and I don’t expect everyone to agree with me, but continuing to demand chastity vows from women as a condition to validate their devotion to a goddess who protects girls and women is an insult to much of what She stands for.

Do not let chastity culture corrupt Her worship. Teach children how to say "no." Teach them to recognize manipulation, grooming, and abuse. Teach teenagers how to have safe sex, how to ask for and give consent. Teach people to respect their bodies and that "No" is a complete sentence. Discuss sexual violence in relationships, peer pressure, and healthy understandings of sex and love.

Worship Lady Artemis by giving people all the tools they need to choose for themselves. And if their choice is to have sex, let it be in the healthiest way possible.

❀ her body in simple words - morningstarinterlude ✦

there is no need for the sky

since the galaxies are painted on her body

and looking into her eyes,

are like witnessing stardust dispersed throughout endless cosmos.

[dishigoyal]

we the warrior

I am a woman,Shakti engraved on my bones

I played in the parks, ran in the winds

and sung with the melody of thunder

I grew up, they reminded modesty

Rati held my hand, led me out

We danced on the eve of lust

Drenched in the rain of passion

I am desire, bold in my will and diction

I picked up reins the chariot ready for me, it was snatched for I was not to dream

Fight, growled Durga from the cement of my being

jerked awake a she in me.

The clang of swords and gurgle of blood my battle cry

Me, here am I

They turned their backs upon me

A woman, to be humoured or not to be

Words spread, questions fired, they marked,stained the very "character" of me

A hiss shook the exterior

revenge, chanted Kali, I obeyed

out of the veils of mocking modesty, of the chains of misdeemed muliebrity

broke the confines of man relinquishing relics of safety, shields

took to the streets and battlegrounds

the army of mother, of daughter, of woman my pillar

we shook the core of the ancient oppressor

we emerge, we the warrior,

we emerge, we the warrior.

Note:

Italicized names are hindu goddesses. Here's what they signify:

Shakti-is the primordial cosmic energy, female in aspect,represents the dynamic forces that move through the universe.

Rati-known to denote love, beauty, sexual pleasure and a woman who is extremely happy and blissful with her lover or husband.

Durga-unleashes her divine wrath against the wicked for the liberation of the oppressed, and entails destruction to empower creation.

Kali-alongside being the Goddess of darkness, destruction, and death, is also a symbol of Mother Nature because as she is timeless and formless, representing the creation of life and the universe as well.

what's especially heinous about the new trans drama with TERFs and transphobes targeting the intersex community is not only the jagged line of when one deserves ire in the sand they draw between the willingly transitioning and those born that way but also that they're pretending to protect some "sanctity of womanhood" or what I'll call it for the sake of this rant: femininity.

the sanctity of being the weaker gender because a boon when you are masculine in sports is cheating when you are feminine. the implication in this is that even the strongest Olympic feminine would lose against the weakest Olympic masculine. It's on the same dumb logic as when amateur masculines think they can beat Serena Williams, no matter the strength feminine is always weaker and any show of strength is being Too Masculine. You're enforcing Player 2 Gender and worse you're tipping the bar to Feminine Need Not Apply.

the sanctity of being the pregnant gender. because it's so special right? having your life on the line but your choices still apparently needing to be decided by those who cannot become pregnant because you are feminine and don't know your life or your body or your future the correct way like the masculine. I especially hate the transphobic/TERF woobification of pregnancy like it's superduper special peak femininity moment as if it hasn't been the weapon that it is used against us for 1000s of years. while you glorified it, they went "Look, we've relieved you of your ability to choose when you want to be pregnant because the masculines know best!". again.

the sanctity of being doubted no matter your expertise by any gender because you are feminine. And the kicker is your doubter's gender could be anything. You could be working in this field for 30 years and be the exact same gender but masculinity in the societal voice knows all and they're gonna ask the new amateur or worse the outdated ancient prejudice. femininity is regularly considered lower quality enough to pay less, but not less enough to not pay the same tax %. And despite being an equal tax player, like with pregnancy, you are to cleave to the masculine way of your feminine life. Why expect equal rights? follow directions, feminine.

the sanctity of being the victim. it doesn't matter that there is just as many masculine victims as feminine ones, you're gonna hear about the feminine ones and you're going to roll your eyes or belittle the masculine ones. because being feminine is weak, we all know that! because if we ever let go of the top victim spot we'd have to do something like address how we overvalue domination and sexuality in the masculine in the first place. Because if you're masculine being sexually targeted is "scoring" or being "lucky". But nevermind all that we need to use the victim card to explain why there's a difference in validity points in how the one presumably getting penetrated gets killed when their genitals aren't the same.

And then the sanctity of being not enough: the sanctity of denial. the only thing that I see transwomen and ciswomen share regularly is TERFs and transphobes and tryhards telling them they are not feminine enough for some arbitrary asinine reason. "it's the genitals! but for her it's the chromosomes!""you'll never be a woman because you don't know what it's like to be targeted and a victim!" "You were attacked because something you did, feminine one, you're not a victim!" It's crazy that you don't accept them as women because you're already engaging in history's oldest feminine pasttime: denial for the sake of denying them.

when you are protecting the sanctity of womanhood you are protecting one thing:

the sanctity of inferiority.

gender is so fucking stupid, sincerely an AFAB non-binary.

How do I not let the redpill “women are no longer attractive at 30” mindset get to me

Reject pedophilic, pornographic indoctrination. The brain’s frontal lobe is in development until the age of thirty. A new decade of embodiment begets new life. The aging evolution is Maa Dhūmāvatī’s grand privilege. The male predator guns for female naivety/powerlessness. The self-assured seer is only a threat to the failed male animal. Female sagacity is the true Goddesshead of erotic magnetism. True magnetism unfurls from the belladonna of the soul. Erotic prowess is immovable self-esteem/crystalline self-mastery. The Grand Mother designed womban’s orgasmic sea to expand/deepen with age. The resolute, self-possessed dea forever wields the powers of life, death, and resurrection.
