What this episode covers
What might it mean to embrace matriarchy? On the latest episode, I explore this topic and much more with two of the three co-hosts of one of my favorite podcasts, “Make Matriarchy Great Again.” Dawn Alden has spent almost 30 years in the non-profit arts space, both as a performer and as an administrator. She founded and ran her own non-profit theatre company for 10 years, worked in Development and Fundraising for various arts organizations, runs a film production company and is founding a church. She has a long history of feminist activism in the arts, and is dedicated to creating work by and about women, for everyone. 34 Circe Salon - Make Matriarchy Great Again podcast is her pandemic lockdown project. Also joining me in this episode is feminist artist, writer, healer and teacher Vicki Noble. Vicki is the co-creator of Motherpeace and the author of eight books, including Motherpeace: A Way to the Goddess; Shakti Woman: Feeling Our Fire, Healing Our World; and The Double Goddess: Women Sharing Power. Vicki co-created, with Karen Vogel, the round feminist Motherpeace tarot cards revisioning both divination and world history to include women and people of color. For decades she has traveled and taught internationally, and led pilgrimage groups to sacred Goddess sites around the world. On today’s episode, we explore: • Dawn and Vicki’s spiritual backgrounds, and how each found her way to Goddess spirituality • Vicki’s experiences exploring feminism and the women’s spiritual movement during the 1970s in Berkeley, California • The magic Vicki experienced during the creation of the Motherpeace Tarot deck • The vision behind the Make Matriarchy Great Again podcast • What Dawn and Vicki mean when they use the term “matriarchy” • Dawn’s creative vision for the Church of the Clitori • Whether Vicki and Dawn feel that a matriarchal vision is possible for our future
