A view on questions from readers: 1. Does it always have to entail a spiritual belief/practice?2a. Is a Wiccan path feminist? 2b. Do feminists need a goddess? 3. Can a feminist retain a sense of spirit when she believes in the power of material reality and rationality?

The art of crafting a soul is, at its core, an exercise in energy management. A conscious, loving intentional awareness and adjustment of our own energies, perspectives, and belief systems in order to create a more wholly embodied energetic self. It’s a focused shift of state, not just mood.

Medusa Rising is a multimedia space for radical feminist storytelling, research, art, political education, & coaltion-building grounded in the radical materialist feminist (#RadMatFem) frameworks developed in THE RADICAL NOTION. We exist to take radical materialist feminism into the next arm of its spiral: to share these ideas and analysis all over the world in easily accessible and useful forms.
We are eager to promote new feminist work on women's needs, life-wisdom, ideas, culture, soulcraft, politics, art, economy, ecological work, and social movement.

The Fash have one competency: They think mean. It's a form of flow for them, it’s part of their temperament. They time their moves to have the most devastating effect. They have already declared a Cold War on the People and the Republic, and a hot war on our immigrant nieghbors.

When we study feminist work on love, ethics, relationships, we find many versions of this simple formula: we have to grow up. It’s a request for humans to become their own selves, in relation, with emotional containment, and interpersonal curiosity and desire for the good of the other. In other words, a maturity that supports having a rich, full, even fun life.

We split with each other under the threat of the NO because we yearn so deeply for our human wholeness, for our natural state of creative and care-ful problem solving, the joy of creating better conditions for each other. The NO comes down and we sort squish around it, seeking a way forward, a way toward, a way to keep breathing.
