Thank you so much for spending your time with it, I am so grateful! 💜 The way medieval mystics really challenged the domination of the medieval church is quite beautiful -- I really want to focus on it in a future piece. To see the domination and to risk everything by calling it out is brave beyond measure!

(also please excuse the double notif! I hadn't realized I was logged into my personal account to monitor for troll comments when I replied initially)

This is fire. I especially appreciated the Hildegard story for the courage and daring.

Thank you! I was happy to revisit these women and their words. Made me realize I miss writing a more personal essay from time to time.
