   worshipping the divine feminine but in a way that will make everyone hate me (it's just christianity) (it's just taking the description of Eve in Genesis 2:18 as עֵ֖זֶר as saying that Eve is salvific to Adam, therefore true femininity means the salvation of humankind which is fulfilled in the salvific character of God) (still workshopping this)

     @k @lilli or you can regard the Holy Spirit/Holy of Holies as feminine, or as "Gods wife" as many religious Jews reckon it.

     @georgia @lilli It doesn't work for Christians because the Holy Spirit is Mary's mother. The symbolism for it has to be masculine.
     
     Tbh it makes more sense that way with the old temple mysticism too. Maybe the Holy Spirit is a tranny.

     @k @lilli tbh Ive felt the Holy Spirit and it feels genderless. Very beautiful, physically warm and full of life and blissful contentment combined with knowing you are loved.

     @georgia @k because i don't actually believe femininity (or gender) is divine, i think it's a cultural construct which i'm rather allergic to reifying
     
     wrt Mary: bc i think it's kinda weird to define Mary by femininity. i love Mary for many things: for the deep sense of justice expressed in the Magnificat, for the humility of "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word," for having received the highest of all vocations as the bearer of God, for having been the human model of love which Chriㅤst was raised with, for the deep mourning she had at the foot of the Cross. some of those relate to her being a woman but they don't come out of her modeling "divine femininity" imo, they come out of an exceptionally perfect humanity
     
     wrt the Spirit: again, i think Godhead is inherently unparseable in terms of gender bc gender is not an adequate framework with which to talk about God. i do have some sympathy for referring to the Spirit as "she" or with feminine imagery, but that's not a claim as to essence, it's because gender is no impediment to God and (in the former case) bc i see no impediment. i would just as happily use feminine imagery for the Father or the Son, because they are one God and God will be what God will be, though the Son incarnated as a man and referred to the Father as Father so i take those as authoritative
