Fierce Unconditional Love

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/03/22

Knowing when to love - and when to walk away - is fiercely feminist. In this episode, a love story. My love affair at 20 years old with an 87 year old woman. Well, not your typical love affair! But one that opened thought and heart for me about how to love. Because this wasn't an ordinary love affair and she wasn't an ordinary person--she was a very imperfect and broken person with a very old fashioned mindset I didn't agree with. Yet, I loved her anyway. And then one day I walked away

Gaslighting, People Pleasing and How to Find Your...

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/03/15

Research tells us that men have been allowed to--and taught to--take up more space than women. Reversing that troubling symbolic act of gaslighting requires us to find our inner spark, a spark that can light a real fire, inside of us and inside of others. But not only that, it allows us to become laser clear about what we will and will not do with our time. Learning to take up space means deconstructing and taking down patriarchy--"the rule of the father"--and recognizing it for what it is: a lie

Taking on (Bad) Marriage and the Dangers of the Good...

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/03/09

Good defined by the patriarchy is shut up, sit down, listen to us, do what we say, and bring us some dinner. But that's not good for us. And ultimately, it's not good for anyone. A truly confessional, honest episode about my first marriage and the experience of so many women in marriage, particularly those who have fallen into being, or have been cultivated to be, a "good girl." The lies of patriarchy, coupled with our "new age spirituality" aimed at women who become more loving and forgiving, can

Loneliness, Nature, Healing and How We've Got It...

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/03/01

Take a trip with me back to a childhood where I often felt lonely, but found comfort and company in nature. Is there fertility in loneliness? Where does nature take us? And what does it teach us about fertility and feminism? In the world of the divine feminine, women are often equated with nature, but what does that really mean? If women are connected to and represent the moon, then men get the sun. And that's not right. Even that is a patriarchal lens. Feminism is not the ocean and the grass and

Your fertility is NOT about how many children you do or do not have! For recent history, woman as vehicle for children has been the standard. But this is a profound lie of patriarchy. Do we still, even today, consider those who have no children or a smaller family, as "less maternal" or "less motherly?" Mothering, however, is a quality that anyone can awaken, use and realize. Having more children does not make us motherly. And having fewer children doesn't make us less so. We have to get clear about

The Secrets of Creativity Revealed!

2023/02/15

Creativity. The big one. Fuels our life, our work, our success, our personal satisfaction. People often ask me HOW to have more creativity in their life. This episode is all about what I've uncovered about the fertility of creativity. But creativity is not just fun, not a segregated world of "arts and crafts" or having a hobby. Creativity is part of our wholeness. Accessing our true creativity means expressing it in every area of our life. In order to get to the real SOURCE of creativity, we have to

Sit down. We talk depth patriarchy, changing our language, the path of obedience, soul writing, the word "witch," claiming the truth for ourselves, the power of language, and the process of listening in deep soul writing.

Awaken from the myth of aging

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/02/02

To a regenerative, cyclical, circular, seasonal you! Yes, in the age of patriarchy the patriarchy of age has us on a linear path where from the moment of birth, us egg-carriers are heading straight for the barren, dry, old season. After all, what's worse than an old lady? From the fear of wrinkles to the obsession with skin care, when we examine the myths all around us about age, and the influence patriarchy has on our understanding of age, then we can truly free ourselves to a more true way of

Growth from Ashes: The Fertility of Grief

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/01/25

Heartbreak, loss, grief, sorrow, despair...no one is untouched by these, but as Rumi wrote, "The wailing of broken hearts is the doorway to God." Who has taught you about the fertility of loss? The new forest growth that comes after the fire? From barrenness and emptiness, the worst feelings we can imagine, comes powerful fertility, potent creativity, and the birth of the new. To know about the fertility of grief, is to understand a fundamental truth of life itself. It's also part of our work in

Channeling the Great Mother

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/01/19

Listen to Sam channel the Great Mother! The Great Mother archetype is the most potent, powerful, ancient, and universal of all archetypes. Yet she is invisible. Patriarchy has effectively eliminated the presence of the Great Mother from our culture (though she has presence in many other cultures). Bringing her back is our work as feminists, as folks devoted to human liberation. How cool would it be to sit in her presence and listen to her, then? Yet we have to be careful, because "channeling" or

Is it a burden or a blessing?

Weaving the Sacred Circle with Samantha Wilde ·

2023/01/11

Our body, our fertility and our choices--all of these are feminist issues. Swimming in the sea of patriarchy, our choices are plagued by judgement, condemnation, guilt and confusing. Whether we have one child, no children, or ten children, how we make decisions about our physical fertility is a burden. From the mystery of our cycles to the political control of the womb, the mental atmosphere around fertility is so clouded it can be hard to even see ourselves, let alone what's true. But knowing our

Welcome to the Abundant Universe!

2023/01/05

Ever heard of "manifesting abundance?" Would you love that for 2023? Who wouldn't want an abundant new year? So how do we get there? What do we need to do? Manifesting teachers tell you how to "create" this abundance. But that leaves out both the whole power of fertility/life itself AND perpetuates a patriarchal/capitalist focus on ME, MINE and MORE for me. If the increase of your own good lowers the good for anyone else, then it is not abundance. True abundance benefits everyone. Don't believe me

This special holiday episode focuses on one of the greatest gifts we can ever have--or give. Panic of patriarchy, fear over world troubles, worry over unsolvable problems, being scared of the pandemic, terrified of what might happen to us or our children, all of these permeate our minds, lives, worlds. We've gone through years of scary times. They don't seem related to patriarchy, but they are! Capitalism and patriarchy rule us through fear.

2022/12/15

An episode on the power of innate knowing and the journey of waking up our innate knowing. Every person faced with caring for a small child or newborn, every new mother, every new caregiver, has the moment of asking: how do you DO this? Our patriarchal, consumptive, capitalist culture can help us BUY things when we don't know what to do, but that won't ever help us access our deeper innate knowing. This knowing is not only useful, practical, efficient and free, it's also a potent tool for smashing

Strap on your seatbelt for this episode all about mean girls, mean grown up women, hating other women, being dissed by other women, "the potential oppressor within"--bell hooks, and how it came to be that the woman I thought liked me didn't like me and I didn't know why.

An episode on opening up to the infinite possibilities that arise when we let go the things that feel too small for us. Patriarchy is all about making us smaller and more infertile--in mind, body, heart and soul. Opening up to a more infinite sense of our choices brings us alive and expands our life. Starting with the profound words of poet David Whyte, "anyone or anything that does not bring you alive is too small for you," we'll explore what it means to get rid of what is too small as we become

An episode exploring the 3 keys to bringing your heart's desires into the world. We all think we want to birth these desires but what gets in the way? Our own criticism and judgement about our desires is often present and often hidden. To bring our heart's desires in our lives requires that we get behind them, stand in solidarity with them, make space and room for them, but that's not all.

If you haven't noticed, we have a cult of the father going on.
