I'm coining a new word:

thexlogy:

/ θiˈ ks l ə dʒi /

(n) the study of god(s), understood in an explicitly queer and gender-expansive context

No disrespect to the guy who created the Guabancex comic animation character, but IDK how he came to know anything about Taino spirituality. Guabancex is not no damn jealous harpy who ruins nature because she's an incel. Like, where in the damn oral history? Guabancex is Mother Nature in her destructive aspect. Some believe she is Atabey in another form. She clears away the old with hurricanes and natural disasters to make everything new again. If you're going to take the name of our Spirit, try to know who she is. I can't for the life of me begin to fathom where he got that misinformation from. Guabancex is a necessary part of existence. She is equivalent to Kali Ma or Oya. I want to think he made it in good faith. It just seems like his description of her came from a soap opera or maybe even just his own ass.

Goddess Group Chat

The name says it really. Are you a woman who worships the goddess and sees it as part of her life's work to help other women and girls? Would you like a group of like-minded women to help keep you focused and give you somewhere to talk openly about your experiences and beliefs?

This includes things like sharing goddess inspired or female-centric art, talking about our experiences with women who understand, sharing resources and book recommendations, and just generally being a support for one another.

Thealogy

Thealogy views divine matters with feminine perspectives including but not only feminism. Valerie Saiving, Isaac Bonewits (1976) and Naomi Goldenberg (1979) introduced the concept as a neologism (new word) in feminist terms. Its use then widened to mean all feminine ideas of the sacred, which Charlotte Caron usefully explained in 1993: "reflection on the divine in feminine or feminist terms". By 1996, when Melissa Raphael published Thealogy and Embodiment, the term was well established.
