[ihearhercalling]

One of the major splits in the goddess and women’s spirituality movement seems to be ‘women who worship goddesses’ and ‘women who call themselves goddesses’.

I’m not a goddess. I’m a human being, with flaws and all. The energy of the Goddess(es) lives within me, and I can be a reflection of Them upon the earth. I can use Their lessons and initiations to empower myself to be a better woman. But none of this makes me a goddess, and it’s not all about me, either. The Goddesses don’t exist as a self-empowerment tool. I am in devotion to Them because They deserve it, because they animate the entire world, not because I’m treating Them as some sort of self help or manifestation tool. If anything, I am Their instrument, a vessel for Them to pour into, to be Their hands upon the earth. This has the side effect of improving my life, too, and making me a stronger, healthier, happier, better version of myself- but that’s not its primary goal. New age feminist/feminist-in-all-but-name ‘all women are goddesses’ spirituality feels like the inverse of this: goddesses are merely reflections of the glory of human women, goddesses are tools to bolster human women. No thank you. To each their own, but it’s not for me.

There's this way of doing female-ness in Christianity that I call "pastel flower journal Christianity." I've got nothing against pastel flower journals per se, but for some reason people believe it's the end all and be all of female spirituality, and I think it's a real disservice towards young Christian women.

One of these days I'd like to start a prayer-and-reading group or something for young women, but there would be no floral themes or over-focus on how "God thinks you're beautiful even if the world doesn't" (a true statement, but it's wayyyyy too often the focus in women's spiritual reading). Instead we would be reading:

Seneca's Letters from a Stoic

Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning

Sheed's A Map of Life

Portions of Pieper's book on leisure

Kreeft's Three Philosophies of Life

Guardini's The Lord (or something similar)

Therese's Story of a Soul

and some select portions of the Nicomachean Ethics.

(Also they're all getting the porn talk. I don't know why we give the porn talk to young men but not young women. There's this idea that women don't use porn and they only need the talk about "guarding their heart." Bullshit. There's porn on the YA shelves of Barnes and Nobles and before that there were bodice rippers. Young women need the porn talk too.)

Every young woman needs to be getting a basic grounding in virtue ethics, logic, natural law, scholastic philosophy and Biblical hermeneutics if they're going to get by in today's spiritual landscape. Enough faffery and emotionalism in young women's spiritual education! Give them real food to chew on, not pasty sentimentalism!

A woman without a connection to her intuition is lost, powerless and gullible. Our intuition is our inner compass that connects us to the unseen forces, protects us from harm and guides us to victory. Never betray your inner self.
