“It’s a very indigenous idea, that the earth is female, that the earth menstruates, that the water of the world is the blood of the woman’s body…. and that’s what we crawled out of, just as the same way we crawled out of our mother’s wombs. It’s the most basic idea, any child could come up with it.”

“I’m very interested in the feminization of the deities. I’m very interested in Jesus as a girl. I’m extremely interested in Allah as a woman — and contrary to popular opinion, it’s not bad to say that. You can say it …  But nonetheless, Allah as a woman is a critical threshold. And Buddha as a mother is another one. Because I truly believe that unless we move into feminist systems of governance, we don’t have a chance on this planet … And there’s no one else that can lead the masses to do that, except for, like, the major religious institutions. And I am someone, you know, that’s looking for a reason to hope. And for me, hope looks like feminine systems of governance being instated in, like, the major religious institutions and throughout corporate and civil life…. And it might sound far fetched but if you look at your own beliefs, just imagine how quickly you’ve accepted the idea that the ocean’s rising and that the ecology of our world is collapsing. We can actually imagine that, more readily, than we can imagine a switch from patriarchal to matriarchal systems of governance. A subtle shift in the way our society works.”
