Exploring the Divine Feminine
We discuss the Mother in Heaven, the Patriarchal Order, Priesthood, Marriage, as well as female and male roles within the LDS community. Not a feminist group, but one that explores all things related to the power created through the combination of the feminine and masculine.Get your copy of "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and what it means for you", mentioned in this podcast, here: https://www.amazon.com/We-Are-Adam-Partnership-Garden/dp/1462138241/ref=sr_1_1?crid=RNSLJWDLB89B&dchild=1&keywords=we+are+adam+ramona+siddoway&qid=1602263514&sprefix=we+are+adam%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-1Read more at ramonasiddoway.com Follow me on Medium.comFollow me on Instagram: @exploringthefeminedivine

What if I told you that there is no Biblical evidence of:
*fertility cults in ancient Israel
*the goddess Asherah being associated with the Canaanite god Baal
*groves associated with fertility cults
*idolatrous prostitutes
I also reveal what really happened in the battle with Elijah, the priests of Baal, and the "Priests of the groves".

In this episode we discuss Lehi's vision and how Jesus Christ, the fruit, is connected to the Tree of Life, Mother in Heaven. Follow Jesus, find the tree, and stay by the tree. This is how we ultimately come to know the Divine Feminine.

In this brief episode I share some thoughts about leaning into our divine femininity and the struggle some women have in and with culture. Learning about Heavenly Mother cannot be separated from her son Jesus Christ, nor her husband and partner, Heavenly Father. Separating the divine masculine and feminine comes at devastating costs.

In this episode, we discuss how the scriptures show the pattern of Father and Mother as co-creators. They worked together not only in the Genesis account of the earth's creation, but also when Mary was quickened by the Holy Ghost and the Son of God was created in her womb.
As always, these are my thoughts as I read the scriptural accounts, and not doctrine from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

If we are going to discuss our Mother in Heaven seriously, we have to address the issue of polygamy. In this episode, I address several myths that have been perpetuated in our LDS culture, almost from the inception of the practice of polygamy—all of which are speculations and have been debunked.
Listen as I discuss whether or not polygamy is:
*The law or an exception to the law
*Was taught as a requisite for the celestia...
In this episode, I share some thoughts about the seeming lack of transparency concerning Heavenly Mother. 1) There is a preordained path to both parents, 2) we have access to the "code" to decipher who she is and where to find her, 3) she is known by a specific name, and 4) there is a pattern for all things, including learning about and recognizing the Mother.
I also share some sneak peeks about my upcoming b...
In this episode, I discuss Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life and symbols that point to the Tree of Life not only as the Divine Feminine but as the tree that sweetens and purifies the bitter. We will review the three rooms in Solomon's Temple and how this vision represents those same three rooms as stages in a temple setting.

In this episode, I share examples of women priestessing their presence from the scriptures and how we, as modern-day women, priestess our presence in the lives of our families, church, and community.

The Matriarchal Order--which sits alongside the Patriarchal Order--can be viewed (in part) as pertaining to the ordinances of the flesh. There are keys, signs, tokens, covenants, and ordinances that are under the eternal priesthood of the woman. We are not used to referring to ourselves as Priestesses out...

Jesus recognized Mary's act as an anointing connecting with his impending death. This is also when he said, “Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her” (Mark 14:9).

I love learning about Mary and Jesus! In the Nag Hammadi library we have a curious statement by Jesus stating that he shall make Mary "male." While there are some unique commentaries on this, may I offer another suggestion that ties in with the "mysteries" of the kingdom and the temple?
I discuss Abraham 4:18 and how that applies to unity in marriage. I also love talking about marriage hacks that help spouses reach a consensus in their councils, and share some personal examples from my own marriage.
Let me know some of your tricks that help you and your spouse make decisions together!

Welcome to Part two as we discuss women, priesthood keys, witnesses, and resurrection. I go over the recorded instances of women as Special Witnesses of Christ and the interesting archetypes in the scriptures of women, goddesses, and their ties to resurrection.
The resources that I used are as follows:
* Alma 18-19
* Kevin and Shauna Christensen, “Nephite Feminism Revisited: Thoughts on Carol Ly...
In this episode I discuss how we do not have all the priesthood keys as of yet. Some of those we are not given in this earth life and must wait until we are on the other side, and some cannot be used except by a Divine Pair.

In this episode I discuss three important identities we possess as women in the gospel of Jesus Christ, married or not, children or no children. It's important to search for and understand our true identities and not let the disempowering philosophies of the world suffocate or render us powerless.
