Welcome to the Cave of Witchy Ranting! Here is where we will discuss topics of current import, issues close to our hearts, and of passionate concern. You may find them controversial, but please come with an open heart and mind because our worlds depend now on changing consciousness!

THE WOMANPATH

You may have noticed by now that Moonspell is Goddess
and woman centered. The tradition explored and expressed
here is similar to many pagan paths in some ways, but
unique in others. While it is not anti-male, it views
Goddess as Source of All. While it is politically feminist,
it emphasizes sisterhood and Womanpath; an alternate
world, more than playing the patriarchal success game.
While it is radical and favors change, it does so from a
place of love, gentleness and compassion. While it
makes use of magic, it seeks new ritual forms designed
to replace patriarchy from within.

Recently a sister asked us "What is the Woman Path?"
Here is what Shekhinah's inner voice said:

A woman's path is woman-identified or self-identified... a path for each
woman to walk in her own way. It is a path of love for our womanselves,
and love for women. It is a path of understanding and celebrating our
sacredness and our mysteries. It is a path of sisterhood and feminism.
It is a path of healing, for our hearts and souls have been shattered
and torn apart by the loss of these things. It is a path of teaching and
learning as we discover our herstory and rebuild our connections to the
ansisters. It is a path of rebuilding spaces and rituals and activities
just for us. It is a path of adoration for the Goddess... for the divine
female roots of creation. It is sisters holding up mirrors of recognition
and appreciation to one another, that we may see how beautiful and
miraculous we are. It is a path of passion, inspiration, creativity,
ecstasy, and magic. It is the source of all revolutions, catalyst for all
improvements in the larger social body, sustainer of its life... and the
one thing that is continually questioned and eroded. If sisters want to
change the world, then we must walk our own Womanpath, and loving
sister spaces must be preserved.

I am only one woman and cannot be the only one to define the
Womanpath. Perhaps I am the first to name it so... I don't know...
what does this name evoke for you, my sisters? A true definition
would be one we all contribute to, yes?
