The Way of the Warrior

"As women it is our task to preserve the balance. Sometimes we can't, but we have to try. The Earth, our Mother, is sick and may die because we haven't tried hard enough. Men rule us because they are willing to be violent. They are too stupid to realize that our capacity to be violent exceeds theirs. Women have to stop being afraid of that potential, and learn instead to exercise it with wisdom and justice."

Amazon expeditions into male-controlled "fields" are necessary in order to leave the father's cave and live in the sun.

Mary Daly

Put your energy into keeping or creating laws that allow women to make their own decisions (without interference from others) and have their own freedom. Fight against discrimination, however and wherever you find it. Refuse to be beaten down by patriarchal attitudes.
DJ Conway

"We are riders; our business is with
the bow and spear, and we know
nothing of women's work."
Herodotus IV,114

Those who live in the tradition of the Furies refuse to be tricked into setting aside our anger .

Radical feminism is not reconciliation with the father. Rather
it is affirming our original birth, our original source, movement, surge of living.

Overcoming the silencing of women is an extreme act, a sequence of extreme acts. Breaking our silence means living in existential courage.
Mary Daly

Pay attention. Stay in the present. It is the only place anything is really happening.
A warrior needs focus.
Keep your sense of humor. Otherwise what is the point? Humor helps us to stretch beyond ourselves and our own limits.
A warrior proceeds strategically.
Warriors act not for profit, but for spirit.
To assume responsibility for one's decisions means that one is ready to die for them.
Impeccability is to do your best in whatever you are engaged in.
A warrior is magical and ruthless, a maverick with the most refined taste and manners, whose worldly task is to sharpen, yet disguise her cutting edges.
It doesn't matter what anyone says or does...you must be impeccable yourself. The fight is right here...in the chest.
Warriors do their utmost, and then, without any remorse or regrets, they relax and let the spirit decide the outcome.
When a women decides to do something she must go all the way...but she must take responsibility for what she does. No matter what she does, she must know first why she is doing it, and then she must proceed with her actions without having doubts or remorse about them.
Power is something a warrior deals with...at first it's an incredible, far fetched affair; it is hard to even think about it. Then power becomes a serious matter; one may not have it, or one may not even fully realize that it exists, yet one knows that something is there, something which was not noticeable before. Next, power is manifested as something uncontrollable that comes to oneself. It is not possible...to say how it comes or what it really is. It is nothing and yet it makes marvels appear before your very eyes. And finally power is something in oneself, something that controls one's acts and yet obeys one's command.
The will is a very powerful tool which can direct our acts.
Will, has to do with astonishing feats that defy our common sense.
Will is something a woman uses, for instance, to win a battle which she, by all calculations should lose.
Will is what can make you succeed when your thoughts tell you that you're defeated.
Will makes you invulnerable.
