194. Fast Friday: The Forgotten Herstory of Women as Priestesses & Spiritual Leaders

Did you know that we only have access to an estimated ONE PERCENT of all documented ancient historical traditions and spiritual practices? Stories and fables are much more convincing when there's no evidence to contradict them... Which is exactly why the Christian church destroyed ancient libraries, appropriated pagan holidays and gods and made it their global mission (literally) to subvert all pagan and indigenous cultural, spiritual and religious practices. Conveniently, the obliteration of pre-Christian artifacts, particularly in Europe, eliminated nearly all trace of female participation in religious traditions and spiritual leadership. The Way of the Priestess by Dr. Sarah Coxon helps us patch together the little evidence we do have of ancient priestesses, powerful female oracles and even poets who were once the respected bearers of connection between society and the divine. I hope this quick dip into the forgotten herstories of women as spiritual leaders brings you a breath of fresh perspective and adds a bounce of confidence to your step :) Subscribing and sharing your kind thoughts & feedback in a review on iTunes is the ultimate way to support Amy and help Awakening Aphrodite in everyone.
