Taylor Swift, Pink, Demi Lovato and the Divine Feminine

Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato and P!nk have come out with different songs denigrating – even mocking – those who believe the Bible concerning many of the most vital issues of conscience. We take a look at the esoteric leanings and ultimately the source for the modern feminist movement by the teachings of Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and other theosophical practitioners who have pushed what can be described only as The Divine Feminine.

Chaos, breakdown, demoralization, destruction: America’s new normal, how it came about and where we are going [from Renew America]: Paganism, Part 44

“The institutions of civilization and order are under withering attack. Perversity is increasingly a way of life. What was once obscenity is the ordinary currency. The present obscenity is God, morality, the family. Rape and murder fill the newspapers. Children kill their parents, their teachers, their friends—-and 13-year olds demand abortion. Young people leave college less prepared for life than the 18-year-olds of a half-century ago. The Bill of Rights is a scrap of paper, attached to a decaying and ignored Constitution. Education is a medium for dissolution, abolishing learning. The media is steeped in prevarication and nihilism.” (Cry Havoc! p. 4)
