Comments on: The Dirt Against the Dianic Tradition http://blog.zbudapest.com/2009/11/08/about-dianic-witch-tradition/ Z Budapest Dianic Wicca and Womens Spirituality Goddess Blog Wed, 26 Jan 2011 06:19:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: laureldarkmoon http://blog.zbudapest.com/2009/11/08/about-dianic-witch-tradition/comment-page-1/#comment-23 laureldarkmoon Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:20:55 +0000 http://blog.zbudapest.com/?p=75#comment-23 Thank you for this, Z! I have heard all those arguments against the Dianic tradition AND feminism in general for a long time. Any time women come together, the established patriarchy gets nervous. This in itself should clue us in to the immense power that we, as women, can wield if we stick together! We can raise energy but not send it? Pah! Then why are men so afraid? As I have said many times--I don't hate men. I hate male privilege. Unfortunately, many men don't understand the difference between the two, and see every step forward for women as being a step backwards for them...as if justice and freedom come in finite amounts, and if one person is free, another must be enslaved, if one person is served justly by the law, another must lose his/her liberty. Every day, I thank the Goddess for my ability to see things more clearly as I grow older. I thank her for women like you, too, Z! Reading your words gives me strength. Blessings!
