Are you hearing a call to help co-create a modern spiritual movement free of dogma and gender restrictions?
Meet the ‘Radical Spirits’ who traveled along our Route 20 in NY. The women’s rights movement and Spiritualism began in upstate New York. They are proof that indeed Faith and Feminism are a Holy Alliance!
“The only religious sect in the world … that has recognized the equality of women is the Spiritualists…They have always assumed that woman may be a Medium of Communication from Heaven to Earth…that the Spirits of the Universe may breathe through her lips.” Claims the ‘History of Woman’s Suffrage’, authored by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B Anthony, and Matilda Joyclyn Gage, all native New Yorkers.
The women’s rights movement and Spiritualism date their inception to 1848 in upstate New York. Trance or ‘inspired’ speaking empowered a generation of American women to claim their own voices. These two movements sparked a revolutionary Free Thinkers movement for the abolition of Slavery, reform of marriage, children’s rights, religious freedom, labor reform, vegetarianism, dress reform, health reform, and temperance.
