I was thinking about how feminine spirituality was always quickly denounced as satanic and evil (hence the witch trials). Especially by Abrahamic religions.
Women really can't have our own spaces without scrotes trying to scrote up the place. I was sad to see that the *creator* of Dianic Wicca, Zsuszanna Budapest was deemed a terf and betrayed by women in her group that she made, because of trans "women" 🫠.
Apparently it was "transphobic" so women began creating their own Dianic Wiccan groups to include trans "women". They speak about her with such virtriol, and she's isn't even mean. But because she doesn't believe males belong in her group, she's wrong and a target for rude comments.

I don't understand the women who rally against their true allies in favor of men who hate them. But after seeing the backlash against her, it made me want to buy her books even more
I always thought it was funny how anything pagan gets demonized and it's usually women who are proudly pagan. It's also funny how in Wicca, there aren't many core values besides "do as ye will, as long as it harms none".
Yet that somehow gets you demonized as a Satanist against God. Meanwhile the bible and other Abrahamic religions are okay with rape, murder, slavery, and racism. Go figure.
Anyway, I understand if all things witchy isn't appealing to some as it really has no basis in science. But I noticed how much happier I feel when I engage in my spirituality
If not being a witch or anything spiritual like that, I think it is SO beneficial for women to be in tune with their bodies and nature. Men like to claim how they "built the world" but their "creations" are what's polluting the earth and killing it from the inside out.
Women bring life in more ways than just giving birth. Most volunteers and gardeners I see are women. Most environmentalists I see are women. Most human rights activists and supporters I see are women. Women have no problem coming together to nurture society and the earth.
I'm not actively practicing any mainstream organized religion right now, but I can't help seeing the inconsistencies here. You can broad-bruush all Abrahamic religions as being oppressive, but when someone makes the same accusation against your beliefs, they're automatically out of line? You complain about all new-age beliefs being conflated by Christian critics, spelling out ways in which they are different and distinct -- but you have no problem mashing all of Christianity or even all Abrahamic religions together and then criticizing the resultant conglomeration? I always enjoy reading faith discussions, but it's unfortunate that they often get so illogical.
