🌕 Full Moon Gathering via Zoom 🌕Wednesday, February 16, 6PM PST The folklore and mythologies of our western patriarchies are rife with women unwittingly wreaking havoc on the world and themselves.

2022 reduces to the number 6: a number of compassion in the Kabbalist tradition, a number correlating with our intuition (the sixth spiritual body) in the Tantric tradition, and a perfect number in the Mathematics tradition, a moniker likely rooted in the Judeo-Christian origin myth where God completes his creation of the world by making the first humans on day number [...]
