What I wish for Yule?

What a difference it makes when more then just a few women take on a project! Tinn's enthusiasm and hard work got us the new Goddess camp, the teamwork with Cerridwen got us the ads out and my website enhanced.

Its very hard to get good traffic on a website, and even harder to make a living. We are no way there yet. The booksales have been stimulated by your blessed 15 women who bothered to call. Had I had this kind of lukewarm (only 15 out of 800) support when the Holy Book of Women's Mysteries book was first out, we would never have a Goddess Movement today.

We were thinking in my witchy office, what's happening? This list is my lifeline to the world.

If ALL OF YOU CALLED A BOOKSTORE there would have been a SURGE of sales by now. Without the Holy Book Of Women's Mysteries the yearning of many women would go unanswered. It is what was channelled by me to replace the patriarchal religions with meaningful spirituality. We were lucky to see this book reemerge in a stunning new format, and now its a great seller in CANADA! But not in the USA.

What I wish for Yule?

I like to see my Z list come alive. Become a list of feminist activists again. Even if just half would do more than just read posts.

We are the Seeding generation; seeding the new century. We have started and developed the future, at least good part of it. We are blessed to live in the future as many others like our sisters in Islamist countries live in the dark patriarchal past.

We are responsible for each other. The Z list is very good on this issue, generously extending soul energies to each other, each time asked. I bless for your that. Continue the love and empathy.

We have started a new emailing list called Dianic Nation. Here we offer worldwide events to support if you are near them. If you have organized something Goddess oriented, you can list them there for free. We have also created a Dianic Nation website where those listings are posted and a free seasonal publication that you can get at the website.

It reminds you that we are part of a Global Goddess Movement. No small achievement so early in the 21st century.

In the future we are going to call for more action. For example, feminist letter writing campaigns and rituals against women killers, wherever they are.

I know its a busy time for all of you now, so i wish you all the season's best.

Watch for further news on the upcoming Gathering the Goddess festival, my journeys and see how you can tie in. Don't forget next year in the Fall, fly to California. There will be a pick up bus ride for you to the camp.

There we can embrace each other in person at last.

Yule tide blessings!

The Gender Card

Hillary Clinton was buried and laughed out of the race in Iowa. She was dismissed, she was vilified, and menopausal old males danced on her grave. “She has so many negatives!” No wonder she is loosing to Obama. Why isn’t she more Human? (A person with a vagina is not human?) Drop the robot act. (Why not be hysterical so we can put you down on that?) Said O’Reilly whose old face I am also real tired of. Hillary laughing? Oh she is laughing to hard. It’s a put on. Listen to that! Hillary is crying? Well they must have told her she must cry, now she is too emotional, she is desperate, she is going down. Good riddance.

What? What was that again? Oh the polls. The polls are saying she is going down in New Hampshire as well. All nine polls, negatives, not human, Obama is creating better shows, gives more inspired speeches, Obama has a penis, speeches by Obama! CD them, broadcast them, go Obama go. Media loves a good penis show.

Hillary wins in New Hampshire. She is radiant, she is laughing with her toothy mouth, she had a nice festive suit on, and she was emotional and happy. I found my voice! She finally said, it wasn’t so much the winning, but that she found herself in the turmoil and she was great! She cut a picture of a woman who was newly born.

I love the Hillary run for President show. I love watching her strength, and I hope Bill kneels down and kisses her slippers every morning.
This woman is hated by the right wingers, most of the old pundits, because she stuck by her man. She didn’t fall on her sword and punish herself for Bills dalliances. Instead she became her own woman, didn’t divorce Bill, and he is now campaigning for her. Work it off Bill!

Gloria Steinem ran a nice piece about Hillary in the New York Times.
If Obama was a black woman, would the media feel so relieved to switch over their attention to her campaign. Even if she gave such good speeches as Obama. A Black woman or white is not seen quite as human. Not human. Negatives. Got negatives. Having a vagina is still a negative. All this almost 4o years after the Second Wave.

Back then I was told, you got to wait. Women waited a half a century before they got the vote after they fought and gotten the vote for the black men. Imagine, a black woman and white woman had to wait for their turn for personhood. After a vigorous 75 years of suffrage movement, the votes for women given. Vaginas finish last in American history.

Imagine all the waste where girls were not educated, in some countries under Shari law its illegal to teach girls to read or write. Much like the black slaves were here. The slave to the slaves, the woman, she cannot lead, she must be ridiculed so others would shy away from her humiliation. And still Hillary took New Hampshire like a sudden surprise. Hillary don’t fear and don’t fall! Go Hillary go, show the world this generation has developed a shining character in Hillary and she will create change.

Twenty million eligible women didn’t vote in ‘04. In ‘08 you go out and vote for your grandmothers memory, for your suffragist sisters now gone, for your little granddaughters yet to be born.

Don’t listen to pundits, turn off Fox news, just go out and use that vote, Susan B. Anthony will be right behind you.
