The Goddesses Hunt continues, now in Crete. Where water earth air light and spirit meet, I was gifted with the final form of a Divine Feminine fingersign. Have met amazing Goddess women here. Much for us to share, much to build, much to weave across this transforming, reawakening worldโฆ

100% truth!:)
waking up to pictures of men in suits yelling at each other and destroying our government, I was filled with rage at a lifetime of โnewsโ headlines about the slaughter, misery, cruelty caused by males fighting with each other. Duh: groups of males donโt govern for good. Next: storm goddesses
