Feminismo y transfeminismo

The Roman writer Tacitus tells us that at midwinter the goddess Nerthus — whose name was synonymous with Mother Earth — rode a “sleigh-like wagon” pulled by oxen. Wherever she went, she spread holiday cheer and peace. “It [was] a time of festive holiday-making in whatever place she deign[ed] to honour.” Along with bringing holiday cheer, wherever Nerthus went, “nobody [went] to war, nobody [took] up arms.” [19]
“Eventually Nerthus was superseded by two goddesses, Freya and Frigg. At midwinter Freya was incarnated as Mother Christmas in rituals all over western Europe, touring the countryside in a wagon, though hers was pulled not by oxen but by cats. Later, her presence was represented by wise women who were possessed by her spirit. [20]”

There are loud echoes of Nerthus’ sleigh-like wagon in Santa’s sleigh. Of course the oxen (or cats!) became reindeer, and the sleigh now flies, but one thing remains unchanged in the millennia since Mother Earth was the central figure of Christmas. Wherever Santa goes, he brings holiday celebrations and (at least wishes for) peace on earth.

La semana que viene entrevisto a esta pedazo de mujer y madre subversiva y pornográfica, Madison Young, para el libro de Maternidades Subversivas. En Seattle, que me queda cerca de Vancouver. Y además pues nos hemos apuntado al taller que va a hacer allí, sobre Sexual Mastery.

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be bringing my weekend intimacy intensive Manifesting Sexual Mastery to Seattle on November 15th and 16th 2014. I have secured a spacious residential location in the Seattle area with plentiful indoor and outdoor landscape in which we will be exploring and expanding our capacity for erotic expression and shared intimacy.

In this innovative 2 Day Intensive – on November 15th and 16th in Seattle – feminist porn icon and International Sexpert – Madison Young, divulges the sexual secrets of exploring and expressing your sexuality with the passion, prowess and gusto of a sexual master and with the heart and intimacy of a skilled lover.

Through a series of hands on workshops, radical sex presentations and live demonstrations coupled with assigned homework and complimentary reading materials, Young promises to sexually empower individuals in this transformative weekend long experience.

Fun hands-on intimacy labs allow participants time and space to explore your own desires as well as improve techniques in communicating and manifesting your intimate and powerful orgasmic climaxes like a sexual god/goddess.
