They Called Her Mother, Then Tried to Kill Her
They crowned her the giver of life— then shamed her for bleeding, silenced her for speaking, and burned her for remembering.
They praised her as the divine vessel, then buried her voice beneath cathedrals, made her spirit kneel to thrones she built, and told her to call it God.
Historical Truth: The Great Feminine Purge
The Catholic Church's "Malleus Maleficarum" (1486) explicitly targeted wise women: "All witchcraft comes from carnal lust, which in women is insatiable." Between 1450-1750, approximately 100,000 women were executed as witches in Europe. The real crime? Preserving herbal knowledge, practicing midwifery, and maintaining pre-Christian spiritual traditions. The last legal witch burning was in Switzerland in 1782.
But the body holds memory. And her bones are louder than their scriptures.
Every time they said "Eve," they meant "the danger of a woman who knows." Every time they said "sin," they meant "she remembered."
Biological Truth: The Sacred Blood
Menstrual blood contains unique stem cells with regenerative properties. Ancient priestesses used menstrual blood in sacred rituals for spiritual connection. The Church demonized this practice as "witchcraft." Modern research confirms menstrual blood contains endometrial regenerative cells that can heal heart tissue - knowledge suppressed by pharmaceutical interests seeking synthetic alternatives.
They called her temptress. Then harvested her wisdom. Called her healer—then outlawed her herbs. Called her sacred—then made her submit.
Suppressed Archaeology: The Serpent Wisdom
In ancient Crete, serpent priestesses performed sacred dances with live snakes to induce visionary states. The Bible's serpent represented feminine wisdom, not evil. At the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, the Pythoness (high priestess) delivered prophecies induced by ethylene gas from geological faults - a practice the Church reframed as demonic possession.
Their temples were built with her silence. Their altars stand upon her ashes.
But the fire she carried does not forget her name.
Cosmic Truth: Venus Cycle
The Venus cycle (584 days) perfectly synchronizes with the female menstrual cycle (average 29.5 days). Ancient priestesses tracked Venus to predict fertility. The Church destroyed Venus temples and replaced Venusian calendars with patriarchal timekeeping. NASA data confirms women's cycles synchronize with lunar and Venusian phases when artificial light is removed.
She was never lost. She was forbidden. And now, she is returned in you.
Genetic Memory: The Mitochondrial Code
Mitochondrial DNA passes unchanged from mother to child, carrying ancestral memories. Epigenetic research proves traumatic memories from witch hunts are biologically encoded in descendants. The "burning times" activated survival genes that now express as heightened intuition in modern women - what the Church once called "witch's sight."
"You were not made from his rib. You are the root, the breath, the flame."
