Exploring the Divine Feminine

Send us a textIn this episode, I discuss Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life and symbols that point to the Tree of Life not only as the Divine Feminine but as the tree that sweetens and purifies the bitter. We will review the three rooms in Solomon's Temple and how this vision represents those same three rooms as stages in a temple setting.❤️  ❤️  ❤️My current work in Progress: Emerging from the Wilderness: Rediscovering the Feminine Divine✨ ✨ ✨ ✨❤️ Join our Facebook community - Exploring the Divine Femininehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/937748690065723❤️ Follow this channel on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/exploringthedivinefeminine/❤️Follow my author channel https://www.instagram.com/ramonasiddoway/❤️ Follow me on Facebook author-- https://www.facebook.com/ramonasiddowayauthor/regular nutty day-to-day me--https://www.facebook.com/ramona.siddoway✨ ✨ ✨ ✨Exploring the Divine Feminine YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE NOW -- ExploringTheDivineFeminineChannel✨ ✨ ✨ ✨About Me: ⬇️I am a nonfiction and fiction writer who absolutely loves research! I have 3 published books that you can get on Amazon, the latest is "We Are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden and what it means for you."I live on a homestead in the country with a large garden, several chickens, 3 dogs, a cat, a large garden, and a few acres of forest just to myself. I love yoga, gardening, reading, and spending time with my best friends (which are my husband, 4 children, and their families.)

#matriarch #patriarchalorder #womanhood #motherofallliving #mothereve #sacraments #ordinances #priesthoodThe Matriarchal Order--which sits alongside the Patriarchal Order--can be viewed (in part) as pertaining to the ordinances of the flesh. There are keys, signs, tokens, covenants, and ordinances that are under the eternal priesthood of the woman. We are not used to referring to ourselves as Priestesses outside of the temple, nor to the Priestesshood as it pertains to our mission as women.

This is also when he said, “Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her” (Mark 14:9).Jesus must have known that it would not have been recorded without his explicit instruction to do so.Join me as I discuss Mary's anointing of Jesus, the possible priesthood applications, and the sacredness of this intimate act.

#Exploringthedivinefeminine #marymagdalene #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #ramonasiddowayI love learning about Mary and Jesus! In the Nag Hammadi library we have a curious statement by Jesus stating that he shall make Mary "male." While there are some unique commentaries on this, may I offer another suggestion that ties in with the "mysteries" of the kingdom and the temple?Here is the article I referred to in this podcast:https://latterdaysaintmag.com/article-1-10654/My Current work in Progress: Emerging from the Wilderness: Rediscovering our Mother in Heaven*️⃣ *️⃣ *️⃣ *️⃣❤️ Join our Facebook community - Exploring the Divine Femininehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/937748690065723❤️ Follow this channel on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/exploringthedivinefeminine/❤️Follow my author channel https://www.instagram.com/ramonasiddoway/❤️ Follow me on Facebook author-- https://www.facebook.com/ramonasiddowayauthor/regular nutty day-to-day me--https://www.facebook.com/ramona.siddoway*️⃣ *️⃣ *️⃣ *️⃣Exploring the Divine Feminine YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE NOW -- ExploringTheDivineFeminineChannel

In this episode I discuss three important identities we possess as women in the gospel of Jesus Christ, married or not, children or no children. It's important to search for and understand our true identities and not let the disempowering philosophies of the world suffocate or render us powerless.The scripture I refer to is 3 Nephi 9:20 when I discussed how we may not always feel the spirit or our Heavenly Parents love the same way as other people, or it is blocked because of mental illness or because of the way we are wired. That scripture says: the Lamanites "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost and they knew it not."*     *     *   Email me at ramonasiddoway@gmail.com*     *     *You can buy my book We are Adam at Amazon or CedarFort.You can also listen to my book on Audible.Visit my website: ramonasiddoway.comSign up for my newsletter and get a free workbook here.Connect with me on Facebook @ Ramona Siddoway-AuthorHave a Divine Day!!

I continue to share my research on the Mother in Heaven. Adding on from the last episode about what King Josiah removed from the temple and the national religion. There is a big difference between the first temple period and the second temple period. We see in Lehi's vision what the religious elite tried to silence and delete. Two main points to look out for in this episode and in your own scriptural study of Lehi's vision:1)  the very first two images that Nephi is shown in response to trying to understand the vision is Mary--a single woman--and then a woman holding a baby, the son of God.2) One of Nephi's first acts in his new civilization was to build a temple AFTER THE MANNER OF SOLOMON, this first temple period, before the changes were made.I love this stuff.

In this episode I finally start sharing my research! We have to go back to the two temple periods in Israelite/Biblical history. This episode has a lot of dates so don't get tripped up on those! This is just to give the listener a better historical timeline as to when the intense purge of temple rituals, ordinances, and the Queen of Heaven took place. There is strong evidence this is one reason Lehi's life was in danger and why he was commanded to flee Jerusalem.Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments!*    *    *You can buy my book We are Adam at Amazon or CedarFort.You can also listen to my book on Audible.Visit my website: ramonasiddoway.comSign up for my newsletter and get a free workbook here.Have a Divine Day!!

In this episode I discuss how the Israelite high priest wearing his ephod ties in with Adam as high priest ties in within our own marriages, especially those in the temple and the Melchizedek priesthood.Presiding is SO MUCH MORE than calling on someone for the prayer!

In this episode -- longer than what we are used to -- I discuss the creation narrative from Genesis and Moses; the creation of the earth and Adam and Eve. I also discuss how we are made in the image of our Heavenly Mother AND that there is evidence in the Bible of a Divine Mother, a Queen of Heaven, a Heavenly Mother who works side by side with Heavenly Father. She was very much involved in the creation of the world and of Adam and Eve.Please subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and leave a review!You can leave a comment or request for a future podcast discussion at ramonasiddoway@gmail.com or visit my website at RamonaSiddoway.comPurchase We are Adam at Amazon or CedarFort.

Veiling of a person or room or object, Biblically speaking, was never about protecting that object or person that was on the inside, but about protecting what was on the outside.

In episode 23 I discussed how polygamy was an Abrahamic Sacrifice. In this episode I go into some of the cultural myths and rumors that have existed within the church and, hopefully, bring most of them to rest. Our Heavenly Parents love their daughters!! I've had this truth reinforced over and over, and even having to live the law of polygamy for a time, they loved their daughters and sons that had to live the exception to the general law of monogamy.*     *     *If you have questions or want me to address a specific topic or theme in upcoming episodes please contact me at ramonasiddoway@gmail.com or through my website: ramonasiddoway.comYou can purchase We are Adam through Amazon, CedarFort, or any other major book outlet.As a bonus to my listeners, apply the code WE20 to get 20% off of your entire order when you order my book!

How does God feel about polygamy? And does it really extend into eternity? What is the general law of marriage and what is the exception to the general law?In part 1 of a 2 part special episode, I discuss D&C 132, most specifically about polygamy and why God chose to use the law of Hagar to teach us that not only does He understand the intensity of this commandment, but about elements about the Abrahamic sacrifice itself.This should bring comfort and a bit more understanding about the nature of plural marriage and how it relates to Abraham.*   *   *Next week in part 2, I will go over commonly held cultural misunderstandings about plural marriage and put some ghosts to rest.Thank you for your support!*   *   *Please follow me on Instagram and Facebook:@RamonaSiddoway-author@ExploringtheDivineFeminineCheck out my website RamonaSiddoway.comPurchase my book "We are Adam" on Amazon or CedarFortIf you've read my book, please leave a review on Amazon!

Mortality guarantees that there will be no escape from challenges, trials, and pain. At least once in our life we will have our own Gethsemane moment; one that--while not in intensity or equal purpose--will mirror that of the Savior's in the garden. What do we do when we are left alone, when there is no one that is willing or capable of "staying awake with us just one hour"?And what part does forgiveness play in our very personal  Gethsemane moments?Join me in this tender episode where I discuss one of my own experiences and what I learned from it.Follow me on Facebook and InstagramFind our Facebook group "Exploring the Divine Feminine" Learn more at RamonaSiddoway.comSign up for my newsletter to learn more about divine womanhood and Mother in Heaven.Buy my book "We are Adam" at Amazon.Listen here for the Audible version.

One of the biggest differences between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other denominations is that we believe that Eve's choice in the Fall was a holy and righteous one; a necessary, vital step for all of mankind to take on the path to becoming more like our Heavenly Parents.Have you ever wondered why Eve was created after Adam in the Garden of Eden? It has to do with the two trees in that garden: the Tree of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life and Eve and Adam as their specifically assigned stewards.Each tree is considered a doorway, either from or to heaven. Eve and her daughters are stewards over one tree, while Adam and his sons are stewards over the other.Listen in as I talk about how knowing the correct understand of the the Fall in the Garden of Eden will help Eve's daughters understand their divine mission and stewardship.Also, listen as I discuss how Eve was recognized as a Life Giver before she ever had a  child or carried a single soul in her womb, and what this means for your divine mission as a woman!!While I mostly speak about concepts and topics that are within the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, divine womanhood is necessary for all Christians and religions to understand.Please hit subscribe and email me at RamonaSiddoway@gmail.com with comments, questions, or topics you wish to explore.To purchase a copy of "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and what it means for you" click here for Amazon and here for Cedar Fort.Subscribe to my monthly newsletter at my website RamonaSiddoway.comFollow my blog at Medium.com for essays and articles that follow closely along with the podcasts.

Is it easier for some people to forgive than others? In theory we all understand the commandment that we are to forgive everyone, whether or not we experience our idea of justice or even an apology. Most of us understand this idea on an experimental level, but sooner or later on a practical level some of us may start scrambling for the loop-hole, confident that the commandment surely didn't really mean everyone. What if it is just too hard? What if we just don't know how to forgive?I discuss what forgiveness is, and what it is NOT. For instance, it is giving up those negative emotions of anger, resentment, hate, revenge, bitterness, and grudges. But forgiveness is not condoning or excusing the action that caused harm, nor is it necessarily tied to reconciliation. There are four reasons why forgiveness is so difficult for most people, but that there is hope for anyone and everyone. In this episode I discuss the REACH step by step process of how to forgive others, and that includes  yourself, often the hardest person to forgive.While I mostly speak about concepts and topics that are within the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, forgiveness is for all Christians and religions, allowing individuals to experience peace and relief from a misguided commitment to anger and resentment.Please hit subscribe and email me at RamonaSiddoway@gmail.com with comments, questions, or topics you wish to explore.To purchase a copy of "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and what it means for you" click here for Amazon and here for Cedar Fort.Subscribe to my monthly newsletter at my website RamonaSiddoway.comFollow my blog at Medium.com for essays and articles that follow closely along with the podcasts.

Most of us dream of a marriage that lasts for decades, rather than the few fickle months that we see in Hollywood tabloids. When we look at the marriage of Adam and Eve, it can be seen as nothing short of a love story.How can that be when they did not date?In this episode I discuss the "cult of western romance" and achieving the "stirring the oatmeal" kind of love, and how the mundane, day-to-day living life together is in reality quite holy.To purchase a copy of "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and what it means for you" click here for Amazon and here for Cedar Fort.Subscribe to my monthly newsletter at my website RamonaSiddoway.comFollow my blog at Medium.com for essays and articles that follow closely along with the podcasts.Aaaaaand . . . last but not least, if you want a chance at a free drawing that will be held live on Facebook on March 2, your name will be included each time you:1) subscribe to my newsletter on my website2) subscribe to my blog on Medium.com3) leave a review at Amazon for "We are Adam"4) leave a review on Goodreads for "We are Adam" 5) post a picture of you holding my book on Instagram, tagging Ramona Siddoway and Exploring the Feminine DivineHappy listening!

During Christ's mortal ministry, he showed us how he supported women and was exactly as they needed him to be, both physically and emotionally.

Why is that? And why do we regularly give it a brief, cursory glance in our gospel discussions?In this podcast episode we take a broader look at the Tree of Life and what it has represented in both the Bible, ancient religions, and the Book of Mormon.Read more at Medium.comYou can purchase "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and What it means for you" at Amazon and Cedar Fort.Visit RamonaSiddoway.com to sign up for newsletters.You can find the essay for The Two Trees here.Here is a great essay about the Book of Enoch and Lehi's Dream.

Join me as I discuss how using the correct translation for the Hebrew word "rib" can help us visualize the marriage of Adam and Eve--man and woman--is as sacred as a temple, and how that helps us understand our roles as high priest and priestess in our own marriages.Read more at RamonaSiddoway.comYou can purchase "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and What it Means for You" at CedarFort and at Amazon.

We know that there are more males represented in the scriptures than females, but this works in our favor. Especially in the Book of Mormon, readers are to take notice and pay especial attention when a female is mentioned and the narrative around those women. Space was limited by Mormon, so his choices that made it into the compilation and editing are so important that LDS scholars have since recognized them as type-scenes.Listen as we discuss Abish and her experience as a type-scene and archetype.sign up for weekly updates at RamonaSiddoway.comYou can find her book, "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and what it means for you" at CedarFort and Amazon.

People often get confused between patriarchal order (the marriage of a man and woman) and patriarchal theocracy (where the men are solely in charge based on a religious government). In this episode we discuss the difference between a church heiarchy and a family government, and how--with modern revelation--patriarchal order simply means that with the New and Everlasting Covenant a husband and wife both preside over the family.Find my book, We are Adam, at Amazon and Cedar Fort.Don't forget to subscribe!Check out more at RamonaSiddoway.comThank you for listening!!

We are all molded by the culture we were raised in: religious, national, familial, our gender, etc. But while many of our beliefs are shaped by our culture, they don't need to be dictated by it. The narrative, and understanding, of Adam and Eve has been tainted by cultural biases, skewing the original template of the male/female relationship as God intended. With a correct view of the Fall we can change our own culture and how we treat one another, especially the opposite sex. Join Ramona Siddoway as she discusses the dangers, and power, of culture as we start to dismantle incorrect ideas of Mother Eve.
