Today's discussion on Spotify delves deep into the intriguing topic of "Girl Bossing" and the hidden fallacies that might lurk beneath its glamorous surface. We explore the notion of being caught in the never-ending cycle of hard work for capitalism, all under the guise of feminism. Is it truly a spiritual endeavor to push oneself to the limits within this system? Or are there other paths to empowerment and fulfillment that are worth exploring? We also scrutinize the idea of going back to the home and whether it offers a more liberating alternative or if it too is entwined with restrictive and patriarchal constructs. Join us in this engaging conversation that unravels the layers of contemporary feminism and its impact on our lives. Together, let's examine the complexities of empowerment and societal roles, and share your perspective on these intriguing questions. Keywords: Girl Boss, Capitalism, Feminism, Empowerment, Patriarchy, Women's Roles, Work-Life Balance, Contemporary Feminism, Empowerment Narratives, Social Commentary, Cultural Discourse. Tune in for an insightful exploration of these thought-provoking themes and contribute your voice to a conversation that challenges our preconceptions and inspires meaningful dialogue. 💪🌟 #FeminismDebate #Empowerment #GenderRoles #SparkingDialogue

Did you spend this weekend marking Imbolc, or the Feast of Maman Brigitte?  This time of year marks an equal point between winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, where we start to see a turn in the seasons. This is where the death and cold of winter begins to subside and the newness of rebirth begins.  In Haiti, and New Orleans Vodou, the Feast of Maman Brigitte marks the start of this transition bringing awareness that energy is moving. In the British Isles, Imbolc is a Pagan holiday once again, observing this precious energy.

This week on The Afro Animist Podcast, we deal with the topics of Toxic Positivity, Victim Blaming and abuse.  It's so easy in the spiritual community to slip into states of Toxic Positivity, especially when it's so heavily preached and it can be a wonderful distraction from healing.  But when we get to the nitty gritty, it's so important to talk about the negative side of these concepts so that we gain a more nuanced understanding of the Human Experience. Only then will we move towards a society that's actually safe and validating for all .

This week we are exploring all things folk music with the incredibly knowledgeable @essaflett
Did you know that folk music and esoterica are inextricably linked? Because both are mediums of the people, used for expression, community, education and cultural story telling. Through the Middle Ages the witch trials destroyed this cultural connection for many.
We have a rich culture of folk music in our United Kingdom’s, but each countries experience is a different, and that echoes down to our experience of folk music now.
Essa also shares with us her depth of exploration of music, her lifestyle, identity and standing up for herself to live in the way that she wants. We have nuff respect for this woman 🥰
If you love your magickal history, this one is not to be missed.

We believe Mr Rogan is wrong for, and in no position to say the N word and should know this by now. We believe in giving people the chance to grow and learn from their mistakes.
