Spoiler Alert: This episode about captivity and abuse might be triggering. Do use self care. It is intended to have listeners ask the question if they are being held captive, traumatized, exploited or abused. Are they wearing blinders to abuse in their lives?  Do we just accept or endure abuse and say "that's just the way it is."   Are they looking for exit strategies?  Do values of Goddess Spirituality offer an alternative?  Check out Normalizing Abuse: A Commentary On Our Culture of Pervasive Abuse.

In the second episode, Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Rev. Dr. Aída Besançon Spencer to explore key ways Scripture goes against the grain of culture. While some scholars uphold Bible cultural as the moral standard, Aída encouraged readers to begin in the New Testament. For example, in the story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42), Martha was anxious that Mary would help her serve the disciples a meal. But Jesus said, “Martha, Martha … You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Jesus reversed women's priorities from domestic spheres to theological spheres: learn God's truth. Paul also said, in 1 Tim 2:11, “A woman should learn in quietness (silence) and full submission.” Insisting on women's silence was/is a to call women to learn as the theological scholars (Rabbis) did at the time of Christ, in silence—with rapt focus. Aída believes we need more scholarly reflection on women and silence in Scripture.     Aída ends with a warning to always view people as created in God's image and considers passages also embrace the shared dignity and agency of women. Reflecting on the marginalization for Native Americans who were accused of and punished for alleged idol worship, by white colonizes who believed they were given the US given as theocracy, Aída and her husband William David Spencer address both topic in a powerful article titled, Calling on God or Colonial Oppression.     Aída addresses the leadership of women in the early church, with a focus on context. Whereas women's leadership in Ephesus was different from women in other contexts, like women planting churches like Lydia in Greece.     Aída ends by reflecting on Helen Barrett Montgomery (1861-1934) was elected the first president of national Woman's American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. She was also elected the first president (and woman) of an American denomination, the Northern Baptist Convention in 1920. She's also the first woman to translate the New Testament in 1924. Her translation of Roman 16:1-3—interpreted Pheobe as a “minister” and “overseer,” yet it has taken so very long for other translators to see the same biblical truth (in 1843). Barrett Montgonery's The New Testament in Modern English was republished in 1952, and translated Romans 16:1-2: “I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a minister of the church at Cenchreae. I beg you to give her a Christian welcome, as the saints should, and to assist her in any matter in which she may have need of you. for she herself has been made an overseer to many people, including myself.” Prostateo, the verb meaning to be leader or ruler of, hold office, authority for providing, regent (Liddell & Scott's classical dictionary).    Guest Bio  Rev.

In the first episode, host Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Rev. Dr. Aída Besançon Spencer to discuss Bible translation. Aída considers the different goals of translation teams from translations focused on a word for word translation; to meaning for meaning; to thought for thought and those that are a paraphrase. Each translation team from the NRSV, to the NIV, KJV and the ESV elevate their priorities in ways that are often helpful. In addressing the complexities of Bible translation, Aída gave the following helpful insight. She said:  Translators are caught between rendering Form vs. meaning. A “formal translation”/formal-equivalence/literal/word for word/linguistic= Translation tries to preserve form (syntax and sentence structure) of the original to convey meaning. The emphasis is the original text, E.g. NRSV, NAS. It Allows the reader to interpret.  A “dynamic-equivalence”/functional-equivalence/cultural =Translation expresses the original meaning in the natural form of the receptor language. The receptor language is emphasized. Translators seek equivalence in meaning or thought for thought translation, E.g., TEV, NEB. It does more interpretation for readers.  A “paraphrase”=A freely rendered restatement (of another translation) of the author's thoughts in different words. But it is not a commentary, e.g. Living Bible, The Message.    Aída cited those who contribute to the ESV team, noting their commitment to male-authority. She also expressed her preference for the NRSV assessing how the different translations render the crucial text 1 Tim 2:4–5—as it explains the work of Christ. She said:  “who desires all people (anthrōpōs) to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men (anthrōpōs), the man (anthrōpōs) Christ Jesus,” ESV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,” NIV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, (NASB) “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (KJV) “who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, (NRSVupdated)+ CEB “God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is, There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human. (CEV)-a dynamic equivalent “Our Creator longs to set all people free and guide them into the full understanding of the truth. For there is only one Great Spirit, and only one who can bring the Great Spirit and human beings together in peace. That one is Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One, who is himself human.” (First Nations Version) “Our Savior God wants all humans to be saved and to come into knowledge of truth. For God is one, one is also a mediator between God and humans, human Christ Jesus, the One having given himself as a ransom on behalf of all” (ABS). 1 Timothy NCCS ABS 48-51  For clarity on confusing passages that seem to diminish the dignity, value and agency of women or minorities, Aída recommends Bible translation teams comprised of men and women who do not unite in their preference for male-leadership as the ESV translation team does. Aída also celebrated the diversity of opinion on the NIV translation team which is led by expert Bible translators who differ on their view on women's leadership. It's always better to move beyond a single narrative on key issues.  Aída discussed the NT and OT texts that challenge 3 New Testament passages (1 Tim. 2:11-15; Eph. 5:21-23) which routinely eclipse the many passages that demonstrate women's leadership, like Acts 2:2-21; Gal. 3:28 and passages that demonstrate the leadership of Huldah and Deborah.     Aída ends by emphasizing the oneness of man and woman, cited in Genesis 1:26-30 as both were called to rule over the world together, in a world without sin. Paul picks this up in Galatians 3:28, we are clothed in Christ—a purple robe, our true identity.  In considering marriage, specifically in Eph. 5. Aída explained that Ephesians 5:18-21 is one sentence in Greek, with 2 main ideas:  “And do not get yourself intoxicated with an intoxicating substance, in which is wild living, but be filled with the Spirit.  What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?  Paul then uses 5 participles to describe what it means to be filled with the Spirit:  “speaking to one another in psalm and hymns and spiritual songs,  Singing  Making melody in your heart to the Lord  Thanking always for all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to Father- God  Submitting yourselves to one another in fear/respect of Christ.”  Verse 22 has no verb in the best Greek manuscripts: “the women…to own husbands as to the Lord…”  Aída will return next month to address Bible translation as it has been used to further abuse and ethnic prejudice rather than human flourishing.    Guest Bio  Rev.

Trail blazing author,  podcaster and speaker on Goddess Spirituality, Karen Tate, joins Sheena for a candid conversation on the magic of Goddess. Growing up in the United States bible belt of the deep south, Karen was conditioned to think that racism and sexism were 'normal'. Until she discovered the sacred feminine, and Goddess spirituality became the driving force of her life. This has especially fueled her writing, and now her seventh book, Normalizing Abuseis out to do the work of redressing the balance of trauma caused by abuse and exploitation experienced by so many women in the world today.It's important work that can only be done well by those who have experienced this kind of abuse and who've worked on healing themselves in the process. And as Karen says, 'It's still a work in progress.' A fascinating chat with another inspirational guest who knows what she's talking about!

Karen Tate shares her thoughts from her October newsletter, Toolbox for Transformation, where she discusses her spiritual path, including the next leg of that journey - exploring if there's a connection between Goddess Spirituality, which she's been teaching for 30 years, and Ascension, the Light and what societal changes needs to take place to evolve and manifest a new normal in the world.

Today I'm really pleased to welcome one of our foremothers of Goddess Spirituality, Dr.Glenys Livingstone, to the show. Dr. Livingstone has been on a Goddess path since 1979. She is the author of PaGaian Cosmology: Re-inventing Earth-based Goddess Religion, which fuses the indigenous traditions of Old Europe with scientific theory, feminism, and a poetic relationship with place.

Kimberly Moore and Marisa McCall are joined by author Cairelle Crow to celebrate the launch of her new book, “The Magic in your Genes" published by Weiser Books, in this special episode of Goddess Alive Radio!**See the extended show notes at GoddessAliveRadio.com**About The Magic in Your GenesCombines traditional genealogy with magical practices in a unique guide to deepen your relationship with ancestors. Have you been searching for a way to find deeper connection with your ancestors? Would you like to infuse some magic into your genealogy? The Magic in Your Genes provides a clear and accessible route enabling both novices and adepts to deepen their ancestor work and genealogy practice.The book offers a primer on the basics of DNA and genetic genealogy practices, so no prior knowledge is required to put the book to use. Magical tips and techniques are placed throughout to help the reader utilize both technical and magical resources as appropriate to the content in each chapter.Written in a conversational style, the book is easy to understand by those with limited knowledge of genetics and genealogy, yet the book's technical aspects on DNA and genetic testing are based on current standards as set forth by professional associations.The Magic in Your Genes is geared to those with a known recent genealogical history (parents, grandparents) but is also appropriate for those who are adopted or who have other situations, such as a misattributed parentage event.Order your copy of The Magic in your Genes!About the Author, Cairelle CrowCairelle has walked a goddess path for more than 30 years, exploring, learning, and growing. She has been involved in genealogical pursuits since the late 1990s and began to actively work with genetic genealogy in 2013. She is the owner of Sacred Roots, which is dedicated to connecting people to their ancestral heritage and legacy, and she lectures locally, nationally, and internationally on the blending of genealogy with magic. She is an integrative RN, menopause advocate, and co-foundress of The Maven Collective, which facilitates sacred experiences for midlife women. When she's not riding on a Mardi Gras float in her native New Orleans or roaming the world in search of grandmothers and stone circles, Cairelle is at home in the Shenandoah Valley where she lives joyfully, loves intensely, and laughs frequently with beloved family and friends. You can find her on various social media at @IAmCairelle and on her website at www.cairelle.com.JOIN US!  MotherHouse of the Goddess FB group Upcoming & Current OfferingsWeaving Women Spring: Season of the MaidenUnlocking the Mysteries: Keys to Your Moon Blood (Self-Study) Priestess of Sun, Moon & Stars TrainingElemental Priestess Training (Self-Study)Goddess Readings with Kimberly - email me motherhouseofthegoddess@gmail.comPlanner Consultations with Marisa, aka SuperPlanny GODDESS ALIVE RADIOJoin us for weekly podcasts for Goddess Alive Radio!

We are talking all things business, and in particular spiritual business, on The Priestess Podcast today with my wonderful guest Bec Cuzzillo. Bec and I explore what a spiritual business actually is, the influence of Goddess Spirituality in her life and business, and what scaling your business actually means. We also talk about the vital importance as a business owner of knowing your foundational starting point as key to any dreams you have to scaling and growing what you do - AND not getting tangled in any belief that you can ever charge what you are worth - because you are priceless and beyond worth - but rather that charging for your products and services is a key undertaking in business growth.

Meloney Hudson sure feels like a kindred soul to me. Her enthusiasm and vibrancy for what she does and for life in general reminds me that it's OK to let your WHOLE spirit shine. We also have in common the belief for the potential of human beings to be happy, flourishing, and to release the chains of insecurity and low self-esteem that we've carried for so long. Meloney considers harnessing the power of our Yonis and owning our feminine prowess to be a great place to start in the process.  Meloney  is an advocate of women's empowerment, author, teacher of energetic arts, and documentary producer. She believes self-love is the first step to a more joyful life and a better world.  Meloney is a certified Ipsalu Tantra Teacher, and the author of Sexy, Spirited and Strong: Becoming a Positive Energy Woman and Venus Rising Yoni Yoga: The Multidimensional Practice for Sexual Vitality and Feminine Power. For nearly 20 years Meloney has created and facilitated transformative workshops to help women love themselves and become powerful and positive presences on the planet. She infuses her workshops and classes with practices from Tantra, Taoism, Women's Spirituality and Spiritual Science.  Meloney is also the producer of Rise of Venus: The Power of the Women's Spirituality Movement documentary short-subject series and other documentary projects.  On this episode, we have an impassioned conversation around some of my absolute favorite topic: Women's true, divine, and inherent power, the epidemic of low self-esteem, The Divine Feminine & self-esteem connection, the essential keys to thriving and success, Women's sexuality, roles, and supporting one another, and of course asking the overarching question; why are things the way they are and how can they change?Learn More About Meloney and Connect with her Here!Facebook Private Group:  Positive Energy WomenPositive Energy Women | FacebookPositiveEnergyWoman.com

The BEST Goddess Women are an amazing combination of knowledge and wisdom, nerdy comparative mythology tendencies, laughter, and creativity.

Settle back and step into the fascinating world of ancient Crete and for those who love Greek Goddesses and myth and comparative mythology, this book is a must have! Enjoy the listen!ABOUT THE BOOKIn this newly revised and updated second edition of Labrys and Horns, you'll find the pantheon, rituals, symbols and practices of Modern Minoan Paganism (MMP). MMP is a revivalist tradition that connects the deities of ancient Crete with modern Pagans in a living spiritual practice.With a pantheon headed by a triplicity of mother goddesses who embody the three sacred realms of land, sky, and sea, MMP calls us to remember a time when women were valued as equals to men, when the Great Mothers took care of all their children, and when the sacred touched every person every day of their lives.Minoan spirituality is so relevant to our times, when we're doing our best to move forward and away from inequality and oppression. This book can help you build relationships with the Minoan deities and bring their blessings into your life, and from there, into the larger world.Links to Buy: https://www.lauraperryauthor.com/labrys-and-hornsABOUT THE AUTHORLaura Perry is a priestess and creator who works magic with words, paint, ink, music, textiles, and herbs.

Some of us practice indigenous religions and Modern Paganism. All of these are part of the sixth source of our living tradition that I live by, "spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature." Our worship services include writings, poetry, and ritual of earth-centered traditions. As allies in indigenous peoples’ struggles for cultural survival, we do not borrow indigenous practices and use them as our own. We respect indigenous religions as paths to native peoples’ spiritual and cultural renewal, and welcome those who practice them. We also welcome those who identify as Pagans, including Wiccans, Druids, and practitioners of Goddess Spirituality. The Modern Pagan movements have many Unitarian Universalists among them.

We certainly know the values that seem to permeate society today - greed, exploitation, selfishness, anti-intellectualism and tribalism - to name a few.  We can set a different tone and change the narrative to that which is more in alignment with Goddess Spirituality.  Tonight Carol Christ is with me and we'll discuss at least two of those sacred feminine values - gratitude and sharing.  We must be the wayshowers.  We must help change the narrative in the world toward nurturing, caring, sharing and gratitude.  Tune in tonight and get a dose of inspiration and maybe some interesting food for thought as we also discuss unlikely allies in messaging and how important the messages we get are, and why there might be an agenda to keep us from being connected and in solidarity.  

For those of you disheartened you were not in Southern CA to hear this talk LIVE, here it is - the long version - for your listening pleasure....You are not alone if you believe domination and authoritarian patriarchy are destroying countless lives and our planet.  There is a more sustainable alternative and it's not new.  In fact, it's ancient.  Exiled for a time, but making a return, the Sacred Feminine (deity, archetype and ideal) has become indelibly integrated into our lives, reminding humanity during this time of crisis that the ideals of the Great She offer a pathway to a secure and more sustainable future.  As people lose faith in organized religion, as the paradign of power shifts across the globe, as climate change quickly approaches a point of no return, people are leading using their divine intelligence from Goddess teachings to find solutions and sanctuary.  Using the wisdom and activism suggested in sacred feminine liberation thealogy, I will discuss the many ways Goddess Spirituality has grown and matured in the minds of Her advocates to inspire the birth of a new world and usher in a time of security, partnership, peace, equality and prosperity for all. ---   Your comments are appreciated!

What will deliver us from the harmful patriarchal tendencies fully on chaotic display within our world?  International teacher, author, radio show host and sacred tour director Rev. Dr. Karen Tate explores the return of the Sacred Feminine,  as revealed in her latest of multiple books on the topic, the anthology Goddess 2.0: Advancing a New Path Forward. A more secure and sustainable future is still possible, as the Sacred Feminine is making a comeback, and never truly left, an ancient path arising yet again, and just in time, inspiring the birth of a new world and ushering in a time of security, partnership, peace, equality and prosperity for all. Named one of the 13 Most Influential Women in Goddess Spirituality, Karen Tate hosts the long-running show, Voices of the Sacred Feminine, on Blog Talk Radio, considered a treasure trove of wisdom by listeners and peers.  The author of multiple books on the Sacred Feminine, Karen was also interviewed in the internationally acclaimed, award-winning documentary Femme: Women Healing the World.

At the top of the hour, Michael Cremo, international authority on human antiquity, has earned the title of forbidden archaeologist. He's been digging up out of place artifacts mainstream archaeologists don't want you to know about discoveries in the fossil record that tell a completely different story from Darwinian evolution. Then in the latter part of the show, Rev. Sandi Spencer, Abbess of the Abbey of Avalon, a 501c3 Church in Southern CA, will discuss the Goddess Kali.
