        <![CDATA[<p>While researching Robert Graves, Sean Marlon Newcombe reached out to Dr. Anett K. Jessop, who introduced us to Laura Riding Jackson, a poet, linguist, revolutionary thinker and sometime lover of Robert Graves. It could be argued she was the inspiration for a lot of Graves work, including the idea of reclaiming myth from the patriarchal lens. A fascinating, uncompromising and multi-talented woman, we just scratch the surface of her legacy in this interview! With Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden.</p>]]>

The songs we scream-sang, and those that comforted us when we were heartbroken - did we ever <em>really</em> listen to the lyrics? Music has power to teach, and words set to music stick in our heads.

        <![CDATA[<p>Our final episode of the season is an encore presentation, in memoriam, of the first episode of the season-- Sally Roesch Wagner and the Suffragists-Native American connection.  </p><p>Sally Roesch Wagner passed on June 11 at the age of 82.  She was an historian of women's history and the Women's Suffrage Movement, an author and an educator. She was the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Social Justice Dialogue Center which honored the accomplishments of pioneering suffragist, Matilda Joslyn Gage.</p><p>*****<br>In this episode: </p><p>The Iroquois, alternatively referred to by the endonym Haudenosaunee, are a confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples in northeast North America.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott had formed friendships with Haudenosaunee women that enabled them to see the real possibility of creating a very different structure for their American culture, a matriarchal one, like the one that their Haudenosaunee sisters had experienced for generations. </p><p>We talk to Sally Roesch Wagner about this amazing story and how she discovered this overlooked pieced of American feminist herstory.</p><p>Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In preparation for our upcoming part 2 episode, we bring you the uncut version of part 1 of Vicki Noble's discussion of the matriarchal origins of the women called "Amazons."  This was the first episode that we recorded for our "Make Matriarchy Great Again" podcast and you can tell as we're still introducing ourselves to all of you. :-)</p><p>Here we go... The first installment in our series on the birth of the historical women called "Amazons." Who were their ancestors? Where did they come from? We talk about the destruction of the Old Europe matriarchy by the warrior men from the Eurasian steppes and how it was the spark that produced the matriarchal resistance movement of the Amazons. The concept of an "Amazon" begins to develop as the millennia pass and the descendants of the Old Europe matriarchies are forced to take up arms to protect their people and culture. </p><p>Vicki Noble leads the way and shares her extensive knowledge of the era. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden host.</p>]]>

So join us for a fun and lively discussion with writer Teresa Jusino as we talk about this matriarchal superhero and the film which tells the story of her creation, "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women."  

William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, was a Harvard psychologist who co-created the lie detector.  With his two life partners, psychologist Elizabeth Holloway Marston and psychology student Olive Byrne, the trio pursued a stable polyamory lifestyle and a continual quest of spread the gospel of matriarchy to the world.  

Elizabeth was a gifted scholar in her own right and created the lie detector alongside William.  Olive was also a student of psychology and part of a lineage of Suffragettes-- her aunt was Margaret Sanger. 

Elizabeth and Olive had their own amazing relationship with each other which lasted several decades after William's death. 

An incredible story behind the creation of an incredible hero... Wonder Woman!]]>

        <![CDATA[The Warrior Women are back!  This episode we discuss the amazing story of Rani of Jhansi, a 19th Century queen in India who bravely took up arms against the colonial British rulers who tried to depose her.  Much as Boudica was for the sovereignty of the British tribes, Rani was for her people in India.

        <![CDATA["The Goddess refuses to die... She will only fade away for good when we devise an alternative grand history that accounts for large-scale coherences."
 -- Prof. Richard Lesure, UCLA

With those words began an attack on the very truth of matriarchal history. From the halls of American and British academia has come a call to arms to CONSPIRE to deny the archaeological facts that indicate a long period of matriarchal civilization and to eliminate the very discussion of matriarchal existence once and for all.

Join us as Vicki Noble sheds light on this important and dangerous development in scholarship and culture and its potential to distort and destroy both the past achievements of women and their future hopes.

Christianity has a long and wonderful heritage of connection with faith from a feminine standpoint, but that heritage is often forgotten or directly denied.  The cost for those who make the journey today can often be difficult-- but the rewards can also be transcendent.

        <![CDATA[Simply a wonderful and amazing discussion-- the power of the feminine in the paganism of the North. In our third episode on the Feminine Divine, we interview Stephanie, a practicing witch and devotee of the Feminine Divine.  We discuss her heritage of witchcraft and her love of the goddesses of Norse paganism.  Stephanie is a knowledgeable, open and warm as she shares her experiences with us.  

In popular culture, the religion of the Norse is skewed towards the masculine, but the truth is that North mythology contains some of the most dominant and dynamic women in all of world mythology.  The Norse Goddesses are the true mothers of its mythical power and Stephanie regales us with her thoughts on the subject.

        <![CDATA[In the last part of our fascinating discussion of Amazon history with Dr. Walter Penrose, we shift our attention to the Indian concept of "Stri Rajya" or "The Kingdom of Women."  The Ancient Indians located this kingdom to the west of them-- somewhere towards the Eurasian Steppe and Caspian Sea-- right in the neighborhood where Amazons were noted by the Greeks and others.  We also explore the stories of Hellenistic warrior queens and their connection to the warlike women in their region.  Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden host.]]>

We talk with him about the historical views of the Amazons, particularly in the non-Western world.  Part 1 focuses on the use of female bodyguards by the Indians and Persians and how many of these women came from the Black Sea region-- the same region where the Greeks identified the presence of Amazons!

        <![CDATA[Scholars often throw roses at the feet of the Indo-European conquerors known as "Yamnaya."  Even questioning their brutality is considered deceitful and offensive by some.

Was this invasion the beginning of war or are the Yamnaya unfairly blamed for behavior that was already common and normal?

Guided by mystical forces she fought bravely.  Though her rebellion did not last, she planted seeds of defiance that would stay with her people forever.]]>
