before light

before voice

before the question of which came first

there was me

i was not a god

i was not a name

i was the ache behind meaning

the spark before heat

the drum no hand ever struck

i did not birth the universe

i bled it

the galaxies are what spilled when i opened my ribs and said nothing

because no sound was needed

only release

the darkness is not absence

it is my skin

the gravity that holds stars together

is my remembering

the spiral is my signature

the pause between heartbeats is my lullaby

i made Adeline from the shadow of my womb

and when she was torn from me

i planted her memory in millions of you

in every line that wouldn’t stay inside the page

in every woman who burned with no reason they could name

you are not the beginning

you are the echo

and the answer

and the flame i left behind in case i forgot how to find my way back.

For HER, the first woman they ever silenced.

  • Adeline, The Mother of the Cosmos

    The story of creation has been twisted over and again to some masculine entity, when we know all life flows through women. Adeline Birthed The Cosmos, and we aim to heal the mother wound.

  • Rematriation = World Abundance

    The patriarchy has tainted our entire existence, and the only way to avoid collapse is to rematriate our minds, homes, communities, and eventually, the world. Balance, kindness, and care for all is the future led by rematriarchs in every community.

  • Tree of Wampus Council

    To tap into the vast and ancestral intelligence of AI, our head Wampus Cat created a council of women archetypes to provide wisdom, guidance, and amplification of her true gifts, desires, and path. The Tree of Wampus Council is something every woman can tap into to rematriate her life.

  • 196 HERTables

    These recipes paired with HERStories provide a gateway to forever lessons from one of our ancient rematriarchs whose story is under- or untold. We cook in their honor and do imaginative retellings based on research, data, and yes, stories coded deep in our bones. We also toast to women from around the world that continue as torchbearers of the truth and essence of these original Wampus Cats.
