\u201cThere was indeed a time when women in Satanism were proud to be women and knew the power that their femininity held, and that they could call upon as another tool in both lesser magic and life itself\u201d Jake Block,\u00a0 Bloodless Coup<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n It is with but a mere touch of unadorned humor that I entertain a disturbing muse that wonders what happened to the precious and exclusive aspects that define womanhood? What happened to her sense of self, sexuality, eroticism, her sureness and pride in choices made? \u00a0Sadly, a fleeting image reveals a Maid, Mother and Crone at the Cauldron, stirring a bland and murky brew that feeds the Ewes their daily dose of banality and submission of imposed restrictions. Indeed, united they are behind the grotesque mask of intended solidarity.<\/p>\n The \u201cArt of Womanhood\u201d is rapidly becoming a lost art. The joys of it, including sexuality, independence, and mode of thought are a current and an apparent disturbing crime by the hands of \u00a0those who chose to lounge in the \u201cSafe Rooms\u201d, crayons and\u00a0 bubbles at hand, by those who choose to define a glance of appreciation as rape, an unintended touch \u00a0an assault.<\/p>\n \u201cWomen\u2019s desire \u2014 its inherent range and innate power \u2014 is an underestimated and constrained force, even in our times, when all can seem so sexually inundated, so far beyond restriction. Despite the notions our culture continues to imbue, this force is not, for the most part, sparked or sustained by emotional intimacy and safety. In fact one of our most comforting assumptions, soothing perhaps above all to men but clung to by both sexes, is that the female eros is much better made for monogamy than the male libido, is scarcely more than a fairy tale.\u201d-<\/em> \u00a0Daniel Bergner, Journalist, Author of <\/em>\u00a0\u201cWhat Do Women Want?: Adventures in the Science of Female Desire\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Toughen up Ladies. Displays of weakness and denial under the rotting guise of \u201cFeminism\u201d, the guerilla club, only further erodes and mocks the foundation of \u201cchoice and\/or rights\u201d under the Suffragette and Women\u2019s Movement.<\/p>\n The myriad of unique attributes and verdure that is a woman is being suffocated at the hands of her own kind and risks being little more than a memory deeply buried and sheltered in a well guarded social tomb by a faceless she-soldier. \u00a0Self-fear, a weak ego, and a comfort in herd mentality pave the way as the \u201cright way\u201d, and becoming what you hate, the new ideal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Lisa Corrine (Mistress Babylon) \u201cThere was indeed a time when women in Satanism were proud to be women and knew the power that their femininity held, and that they could call upon as another tool in both lesser magic and life itself\u201d Jake Block,\u00a0 Bloodless Coup\u00a0 It is with but a mere […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5,243,11,82,13,18,21,22,27,29,83],"tags":[209,213,57,219,222,228,74],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s7BLIO-3177","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3177"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3177"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3181,"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3177\/revisions\/3181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thesectofthehornedgod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
