Wedding & Marriage Rituals: Honored Traditions or Patriarchal Conditioning?

from Detached

In light of the horrific happenings in the world regarding men and consent - it begs the question: how much of this culture is engrained in society? The answer: more than we can ever imagine.In this episode, I am unpacking time honored wedding traditions dating back tens to hundreds of years. While we consciously associate weddings and marriage with love in modern day (for the most part), this was not always the case - and the origins of nuptial rituals prove it. The scary part is what we have been passed down and taught to see as romantic, harmless, and normal is anything but. I explore where these traditions actually came from and why so many of us never stop to question them.Join me on this journey of unraveling my own patriarchal conditioning, internalized misogyny, and waking up to the reality of what we have been fed all of our life. If you’re an actual truth seeker (not just one who claims to be until it’s inconvenient), this episode is for you. Highlights:(02:10) - A life changing parable that will instantly wake you up(04:32) - What patriarchy really means, and why matriarchy is not the opposite (06:44) - Being chosen as the root of women’s worth and why this is harmful (09:48) - The shocking roots of being walked down the aisle and "given away"(11:04) The real reason we assign a woman the man’s last name(14:55) - The dark origin story behind the best man tradition(16:27) Why women are assigned a label, but not men(20:17) Unpacking the root meaning of “honeymoon” and its original purpose (20:34) - Why questioning old rituals can help us choose from truth, not conditioningResources:Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
