Hello, Rebels! Today's tea is a special one created by Wenches of Wormwood located in Dayton Ohio (https://www.wenchesofwormwood.com/) The Tea blend is called UNITEA and is a limited edition philanthro-tea (see what they did there :) where 100% of the proceeds go to Dykes of Dayton a non-profit organization located in Dayton, Ohio.

We discuss how we can view connecting with this vital life force in a more supple way!

Today Sam reads a passage from The Heart of Awareness: A Translation of the Ashtavakra Gita by Thomas Byrom and has a helluva discussion with Sarah about the illusion of life. The passage, also known as the verse (if you search for it) is called The Boundless Ocean.

In this week's extra-long episode, I (Sarah) read to Sam a passage from the book The Pagan Book of Living and Dying by Starhawk and Friends (link below.) In an effort to understand the cycles of life we must talk about it, so that's what we attempt to do this week. We pose the question: What would you do if you only had 10 years left? 10 summers. 10 birthdays. 10 holidays. It seems like a long time, but our experience of time can be tricky. How often have you gone to tell a story thinking it happened weeks ago, only to realize it had been months (or even years?) It all goes by quicker than we realize. So let's celebrate that!

Sam and Sarah discuss their beloved Temple of the Rebel Goddess turning one, and why we've been missing in action for a year (or more:) Find out more about the Temple here: https://templeoftherebelgoddess.com/ SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/rebelwomenwithteacups

We review Black Cat Blend, from The Enchanted Candle Apothecary and discuss the magic of the drum. We share why the instrument moves us, why adore the it so much, along with it's connection to the Goddess. We discuss why playing drums in community, and drum birthing workshops are so deeply fulfilling. Frame drums are the shit; these rebel women aren't afraid to make some noise and beat it out.

We review Tazo's Junpier Mint Honey Tea and Sam talks about Kali, the dark Goddess of Paradox. Many origins, many stories, may ego demons to slay.

We get to know our Red Sister Sarah. She shares about her journey to the Goddess and the craft, along with her learnings spanning the realms of Maiden, Mother, and Crone. We find out the which Goddess archetype is calling to her loudest right now and what her ideal moment communing with that embodiment of that Divine would look like (spoiler alert... Lizzo 's music may or may not be included)

We get to know our Dark Sister, as Sarah asks Sam questions about her journey to the Goddess, about her love for breathwork, and all sorts of other meaty (or jackfruity... if you're vegetarian) yummy questions.

We discuss Winter Solstice and Yule from all sorts of traditions along with all the symbolism it contains. The apex of darkness means that the transition to light is happening; we can celebrate, and also lean into rest within the liminal space of pure potential.

Sam tells the Slavic tale of Vasalisa, and discusses how modern day patriarchal culture has twisted our powerful heroine into something feeble and weak. We fall in love with Baba Yaga, the old hag in the woods who eats children, and also get to hear some stories about real life scary grandmothers that we can't help but love.

Sarah takes us back to the years 40-61 AD and tells the story of Andraste & Boudica during the Roman conquest to take over Britain.

We discuss the origin story of our sisterhood, the forming of the Rebel Goddess Reclamation, and our intuitive impulse to share tea while we do it... all because Sam found two super sexy teacups.
