Not mad ; Magnificent

Born in 1864, Camille Claudel arrived in Paris with fire in her soul and stone beneath her fingers. The École des Beaux-Arts barred women, so she carved her own path—joining private ateliers that welcomed female talent. There, she met Auguste Rodin.

Their bond became legend. Together, they created works of staggering beauty—fragments of shared genius now displayed in the Musée d’Orsay and the Rodin Museum. But when Rodin chose loyalty to an old lover over truth with Camille, the world followed his lead.

His name rose.

Hers fell into silence.

Labeled “hysterical,” cast aside by critics and family alike, Camille’s bold sculptures—once celebrated—were now called scandalous. Her brother, the diplomat and poet Paul Claudel, helped condemn her. In 1913, she was institutionalized against her will, deemed a disgrace to the family.

She would remain there for 30 years.

Her letters survive: pleading, lucid, heartbreaking. “Why am I here?” she asked. No one answered.

On October 19, 1943, she died of malnutrition in an asylum bed. No family came. Her body was buried in an unmarked grave.

But time has a way of restoring truth.

Today, Camille Claudel’s name stands alone—her works exhibited beside Rodin’s, and a museum near Paris now bears her name.

She was not mad.

She was magnificent.

~Weird Wonders and Facts

Sacrificed Women , past & presently ( different method 2day)

It was not witches who burned.

It was women.

Women who were seen as

Too beautiful

Too outspoken

Had too much water in the well (yes, seriously)

Who had a birthmark

Women who were too skilled with herbal medicine

Too loud

Too quiet

Too much red in their hair

Women who had a strong nature connection

Women who danced

Women who sang

or anything else, really.

ANY WOMAN WAS AT RISK OF BURNING IN THE SIXTEEN HUNDREDS

Sisters testified and turned on each other when their babies were held under ice.

Women were held under water and if they floated (which never happened), they were guilty, and executed.

If they sunk and drowned they were innocent.

Women were thrown off cliffs.

Women were put in deep holes in the ground.

The start of this madness was years of famine, war between religions and lots of fear. The churches said that witches, demons and the devil did exist and women were nothing but trouble. As we see even today, there is often a scapegoat created, and the chaos escalated in Sweden when the Bible became law and everything that did not line up with what the church said became lethal. The Bible fanaticism killed thousands of women. Everything connected to a woman became feared, especially her sexuality. It became labeled as dark and dangerous and was the core of the witch trials through out the world.

Why do I write this?

Because I think the usage of words are important, especially when we are doing the work to pull these murky, repressed and forgotten about stories to the surface. Because knowing our history is important when we are building the new world. When we are doing the healing work of our lineages and as women. To give the women who were slaughtered a voice, to give them redress and a chance of peace.

It was not witches who burned.

It was women.”

Murder in Slow Motion- Gabby was ignored in her danger by police

This is not uncommon, and can and should be corrected.

I have been unheard many times in connection with abuses , no one in authority has been interested.

I believe in Spiritual Judges , and retain my faith that justice will be served.

Blessings & Peace ,

Sisterhood

“Sisterhood is the phenomenon that occurs when women quit seeing each other as mirrors, or reflections of themselves, and start seeing each other as one-of-a-kind works of art.

Sisterhood happens when women view each other as deep wells of support and inspiration — as teammates — instead of competitors.

Sisterhood happens between women who are secure enough to stop being afraid of each other; who do not feel that another woman’s different life choices are a judgment of her own choices.

Sisterhood happens when we become curious instead of defensive about our differences.

Sisterhood does not require the same beliefs or thoughts or political parties or churches. Peace is not about becoming the same; it’s about becoming okay with being different.

There is so much untapped power in sisterhood.”
