“The greatest Cognitive dissonance humans developed is the denial that God is every female species on earth. We have learned to disobey our own eyes and ears about the power of creation in 50% of life’s offspring and the Grand God Herself that we rely on to live every time we breathe: Mother Nature. With this denial of reality, we have learned to deny women’s innate power that lives on the level of Mother Earth. It’s still there. We need to reclaim her.“
– Laura Rose, Creator of Returning to Her
Matriarchal Laws of Living
Nature first and always. She is our creator, and through her, we live. Her wisdom guides our own.
Females are creators of life and community, therefore holding primal societal positions.
Nothing in nature exists in isolation. We must live in balance with nature and within ourselves.
Dark and light coexist: birth and death, growth and decay, play and work, development and hibernation, prey and predator, survival and thriving, keeps us in balance with the natural cycles of living.
Communion with others through interdependence instead of hierarchal power
All things build from the root up, whether it’s plants, the womb of life, familial to social connections, tribe to travelling, or food to the table. Healing occurs this way too. Fragmentation from the root in body, mind, spirit, medicine, work, education, and governing destroys the root and becomes a systemic pathology instead of health and vitality.
Anything that takes us away from the above leads to illness and trauma. Anything that brings us closer leads to health and prosperity.
How to return to matriarchy
It’s not about grand gestures; although that’s the ultimate goal, it’s the little, everyday actions you can take to support the ripple effect of its imprint.
Practice Natural Alchemy
Witches were women full of the wisdom of healing, birth, and preparing for death. We still are witches. We have the innate and ancestral knowledge of digging into the disease and reseeding it with new roots to create life again. Whether it’s medicinal with herbs, love through peer support, or fighting injustice in our political systems, we are designed with the ability to transform harm into health.
- Take time to return to your body every day. Listen and observe the messages lodged in your tissues that are yearning for care. Then follow the instructions. They often come in intuition, emotion, movement, sensation, and persistent thought.
- Be in Mother Nature as often as possible. Use your senses to learn her messages of harmonious living. With every element and animal presence comes a truth showing us how to attune to the subconscious parts of us that run 90% of our nervous system.
- Heal your traumas. The trapped energy of pain is our life force wanting to mend its injuries. When it does, that energy is free to build and grow yourself into the person you’ve always longed to be.
Natural alchemy undoes the suppression that patriarchy lives on to conquer. Patriarchy cannot match the power of rawness when it isn’t bound. Breaking the chains by learning how to root the raw power allows us to take down their destruction.

Make women the priority in your life
This isn’t the opposite of patriarchy, where men lead and rule. This follows the instinct of nature, where females create life and community; therefore, holding primal positions is a natural way to preserve peace and growth.
How is this natural?
Parthenogenesis – Dictionary definition – development of an egg without fertilization
Primordial – Dictionary definition – Constituting a beginning: giving origin to something derived or developed: original, elementary. First formed. Pertaining to or existing at or from the very beginning.
Historically, the earth started to evolve through parthenogenesis.
“In the beginning… was a very female sea. For two and a half billion years on earth, all life forms floated in the womb like environment of the planetary ocean – nourished and protected by its fluid chemicals, rocked my the lunar-tidal rhythms. Because this longest period of life’s time on earth was dominated by marine forms reproducing parthenogenetically, the female body was primordial.”
– Monica Sjoo and Barbara Mor, The Great Cosmic Mother, Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth
Making women a priority is restoring the natural rhythm of life. It does not mean discarding men like patriarchy does with women. It means making sure the people with the most influence in our life are heard first and foremost.
- Read books written by women, especially those that educate us on the forgotten history of being female, as shown above.
- Listen to the women in your life. Don’t let them be ignored, denied, or hidden when they speak up. Be their ally and bring them to the front. Every woman has a story of tragedy and longing to be free.
- Filter news and education by which sex says it. Yes, men can and do say great things, but you’ll always find a woman who speaks the same and goes deeper into teaching it.
- Practice the laws of nature instead of the laws of man. Most of the latter were built to go against the former. Return yourself to grounded leadership.
- Follow great women changing our world.
- When you feel suppressed, follow that inner urge to breathe fire and speak the truth.
- Move, create, and feel. These are the basic foundations of our intuition. They are the callings of our life’s passions.
- Learn how to love, not romantic love, but natural love that flows from the spectrum of full receiving and nurturing to the ferocity of a mama lion protecting her tribe.
