Beskrivelse

🎙 Episode 2: The Goddess Was First: Matriarchy, Patriarchy, and the Power Shift In this episode of Not Your White Woman’s Feminism, host Sibyl takes us on a journey through ancient matriarchal societies, goddess temples, and the rise of patriarchal religions. We explore what was lost when power shifted from the Divine Mother to the Father God—and what we must reclaim. From the Mosuo of China to the pre-colonial Igbo, from sacred sex rites to feminist futures, this is a remembering of power, spirit, and womanhood before the fall. There are mentions of r*pe in this episode.

Red Rivers: Reclaiming the Sacred Womb (pt 1)

🎙 Episode 3: Red Rivers: Reclaiming the Sacred Womb (pt 1) This series dives deep into the global and historical demonization of menstruation, sacred womb wisdom, and the spiritual power of menstrual blood across cultures. Through the lens of patriarchy, colonization, and religious doctrine—particularly in Abrahamic traditions—we explore how something so divine became taboo. From Leviticus to modern Islamic law, from ancient moon rites to today’s beauty industry, Red Rivers is about reclaiming what was always holy. This is not just about blood—it's about power, divinity, and the womb as a cosmic portal. It’s time to tell the truth about who made it shameful
 and why. Sources: Barbara G.
