Deconstructing Christian Patriarchy and Reclaiming Feminine Energy

In this episode, EDJ talks with Angela Herrington, author of Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods: Decolonizing the Sacred Feminine and Reclaiming Your Power. Together, they explore what it means to reconnect with feminine wisdom in a world shaped by patriarchy and Christian purity culture.

Angela unpacks:

• The witch as a metaphor for women's ancestral wisdom and strength

• How patriarchy and colonialism vilified feminine power and indigenous knowledge

• Why rage and pleasure are essential parts of healing

• The truth about Christian teachings on submission and mutuality

• How epigenetics reveals generational trauma—and the science behind healing it

• The difference between equality and equity in feminist theology

This conversation dives deep into spirituality, sexuality, and self-trust, inviting listeners to rediscover the sacred feminine in themselves—no matter their gender.
