Episode Fifty: The Divine Feminine & Divination - Trad wife trash talk
Rowan & Pine: A Feminist Folklore & Mythology PodcastShow Notes
Well, we made it to Episode 50! Emily gets one last episode in before she embarks on her new era of motherhood, and we are ANNOYED. The Divine Feminine has been co-opted poorly by the Conservative Trad Wife movement, which is nefariously convincing young women to be complicit in their own loss of autonomy. We talk about what Divine Femininity REALLY means - the strength, nourishment and community that complement the structure of the Divine Masculine, which exists in all of us. We then talk about women's intuition and tap into some divination practices as a means of connecting with our inner selves. This one is more of a chat than a structured facts piece, but we hope you enjoy before it's back to mythology and folklore next month!

Long before they were everyday fixtures, mirrors were viewed not as simple reflective glass, but as windows into the unseen. In medieval Europe, the practice of catoptromancy (divination using reflections) was closely tied to witchcraft and the belief that a mirror reveals the future rather than the present. Ancient traditions said that a mirror reflected a person's very soul: a distorted image signalled a corrupted spirit, while soulless entities like vampires cast no reflection at all...
