feminine and the divine masculine
worked together on the land. The
diet was filled entirely with nutrient
dense foods and if there was a
physical ailment, they both looked
towards nature as in herbs, plants
and nutrition to fix it. There was no
such thing as conventional medicine,
no paracetamol or ibuprofen. For a
cold, it was most likely a ginger brew
with honey. And in these cultures a
physical ailment was treated
holistically, as in it was seen as
something going on with the human
being that was beyond physical – a
spiritual issue or some energy
imbalance. The divine feminine led
the way in this and was the one that
created medicine through nutrition.
She was well versed in what each
herb, nutrient, plant and vegetable
was best for and she prepared things
according to their season. Now, with
the supermarket, we have no
seasons because most foods are
available all year round. This is not
in accordance with nature. Our
bodies were designed to taken in
certain things at a certain time, not
out of season. So what happens when
we take something that is not for that
season? It creates a confusion
because our bodies are still
programmed to go according to the
rhythm of nature, not on the rhythm
of greed and imbalance. Many people
are unaware of which foods are

created in what season and what to
eat when and how because it’s just
not taught anymore. This is
knowledge that the divine feminine
and the divine masculine passed on
from generation to generation and
it’s not a common occurrence now.

This is something that we must make
a priority. The capitalist society has
made us so reliant and dependent
upon it but its a convenience culture
that is extremely costly. Its effects
are detrimental and its purpose is
destruction. This is the purpose
behind this issue. Knowledge is
power. And if we are to break the
shackles of the supremacist society,
we must understand and get back in
touch with nature, respect it and
turn to it when we need help rather
than the agents of the consumer
culture that come in little pill bottles
and are hidden ingredients in food.
