So that's why I think it's so important for women to learn about and understand about matriarchal communities and
you know, what it meant to be a magical woman and what it meant to be sovereign, what it meant to be in our wildness. And back on a time when everything was, when we were celebrated for being authentic. And of course it wasn't never, it's never been perfect, you know? And I believe that we can borrow from a lot of these, um,

stories in order to think about, you know, how to give ourselves permission to rock the boat, to color outside the lines, to forge our own path and not just default to what our belief systems are telling us we can do.

Yeah. So one story I love talking about is back when we were hunter gatherers, we know this from archaeologists looking at cave drawings where the female shamans of the community would go into deep meditation and the goddess would tell them where the animals were. And they would talk to the animals. They would attune to the animals.

They do a ceremony for the animals and they would send out the hunters and the hunters would know exactly where the herds were. And then of course they would only take what they needed.

Totally. And the other thing that I really love talking about is, you know, when priestesses would run a temple. So in some societies, mostly in Europe, like if you look at the Temple of Avalon, which is current day Glastonbury, England, a lot of what is said and remembered about this time is that there was a circle of priestesses that held the temple and they sat in a circle as equals.

And they would come into deep meditation, deep relationship with the goddess to really understand what was best for the community. And so we actually orient our team this way in my company because the way it used to be was like I was, you know, normal team is like a triangle. Hierarchical.
