Devoted to Artemis

Artemis the goddess of the moon, the hunt, wild places, midwifery, and war. Protector of girls. Goddess worship and general witchcraft stuff. Witches are women, and only women can be witches. Men are not welcome here nor are christians, I don't want your preaching. You can call me Yvaine

“I don’t want to be seen as a woman, I just want to be seen as a person!”

Believe it or not, women are in fact people.

men demonized and killed women for performing abortions, practicing midwifery, treating illnesses with herbs, etc. by calling us witches. decades later women are trying to reconnect with our ancestors and learn those same practices that got them wiped out and reclaiming the word that was pinned on them to get them slaughtered but now that it’s cool and edgy (and not getting anyone killed) men wanna be witches too. nah.

🌛men can’t be witches🌜

“In pornography, even “soft core” pornography, women are always referred to by names such as “slut” and “whore.” This is not just in the “fetish” section but is rather the everyday language of all porn. In harder core porn we are called names such as cum pigs, cum dumpsters, meat holes, cock sockets, human toilets, cunts, bitches, etc. And this is supposed to be “liberating.” Liberating for whom? The words “bitch”, “slut”, and “cunt” are often the last words a woman hears right before she is beaten, raped or killed.”

Artemis (Ἄρτεμις). Artemis is known as the goddess of the hunt and is one of the most respected of all the ancient Greek deities. Not only was Artemis the goddess of the hunt, she was also known as the goddess of wild animals, wilderness, childbirth and virginity. Also, she was protector of young children and was know to bring and relieve disease in women. In literature and art she was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrow.

“The she-monster is hardly a new phenomenon. The idea of a female untamed nature which must be leashed or else will wreak havoc closely reflects mythological heroes’ struggles against monsters. Greek myth alone offers a host - of Ceres, Harpies, Sirens, Moirae. Associated with fate and death in various ways, they move swiftly, sometimes on wings; birds of prey are their closest kin - the Greeks didn’t know about dinosaurs - and they seize as in the word raptor. But seizure also describes the effect of the passions on the body; inner forces, looser, madness, arte, folly, personified in Homer and the tragedies as feminine, snatch and grab the interior of the human creature and take possession”

[sappho-the-witch]

Really unpopular opinion - wicca relying on the "balance" of male and female energy is because males cant accept that some things just arent for them, and have to shove their dicks everywhere they possibly can
