EKLEKTISCH

Hey there and thank you for coming back to the podcast, if you're new here welcome to EKLEKTISCH!

Today I will be talking a little about the first recorded High Priestess of our time, she was also one of if not the first author and poet of our time.

A great influence in all of Mesopotamia in the age of her father's reign King Sargon of Akkad, she influenced through her creativity, passion and sharp observations about Gods/Goddesses and celestial beings.

I'm of course talking about none other than Enheduanna herself, a woman very similar to the others in this season who has been pretty much erased out of our memories and history books over time. She was born in Akkad in 2286BC and died in the Temple of Giparu in 2251BC.

I hope you enjoy this episode thoroughly, I certainly enjoyed learning so much about such an innovative and ahead of her time woman.

Thank you ever so much for tuning in and I hope you come back for the next one, goodbye!

Greetings, M.

Hey there and welcome back to EKLEKTISCH!

Today I will be talking about the first feminist of the Americas, the woman that defied all types of patriarchal structures and shaped the history and the participation of the church in Mexico. I will be talking about none other than Juana Ines de Asbaje or more known as Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. A nun at a prominent church in Mexico at the time of the Spanish Golden Age!

A poet, an artist, a scholar, and most importantly a woman that changed and challenged societal views in the era of patriarchal blindness and double-standards!

Thank you for joining me in this short but sweet episode, and I hope you enjoy it thoroughly!

Sending you all immense love and blessings, goodbye!

Hey there, we are coming to the end of season 1 and so I had no choice but to speak a little bit about Harriet Tubman. 

She was an activist, an abolitionist, a nurse, a union spy, and last but not least a union scout in the civil war making her the first woman to lead a combat assault.  She spent her entire life being a humanitarian and helping fellow African-American people escape from slavery. Having grown up enslaved, to enslaved parents Harriet's life wasn't easy, she suffered for 30 years until she decided she would escape from the plantation she had been imprisoned in her entire life. Once she had escaped, there was no going back; here laid the foundation to what was to become one of the greatest stories of freedom in Maryland, USA.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did, and I hope you enjoy learning about such strong women of colour.

Please tune in to the next episode, and you are extremely welcome to leave any feedback or comments down below!

Sending you all love and blessings!

Hey, there and welcome back to Episode 7 of EKLEKTISCH!

Today's episode is one I hold dear to my heart mainly because it's about not only one of my favourite poets but also one of my favourite women in general! It's none other than the Poetess Sappho herself, a rebel, a queer icon and a fellow woman loving woman. So put your seatbelts on and get ready to explore some huge simping and more-so erotic poetry. Was she controversial o was she forward-thinking? Was she comfortable with herself and her sexuality, or was she a nympho? Find out in this episode today!

Thank you ever so much for tuning in, especially our Chilean audience; I'm glad we can explore different languages and historical personalities together!

Sending you all much love & blessings! 

Greetings, M.

*Muchisimas gracias a toda la audiencia Chilena, gracias por el apoyo y ojala que les guste este episodio! Tambien si tienen alguna sugerencia de alguna figura historical chilena no dudes en contatarme para hacer un episodio! :)

Hey there and welcome back to episode 6, this one is going to be a rollercoaster so strap up and get ready for some mind-bending action. I will be talking about one of Florence's most influential and worshipped Saints, of course, none other than Maria Maddalena De Pazzi.

A controversial figure, to say the least, she is commemorated and known pretty much all ver Florence, mainly because at the ripe age of 9 is when her religious/spiritual journey began. She easily has to be one of the most dedicated people on her journey; she actually went so far as to experiencing 'Religious Ecstacy' which I talk about in this episode.

If you have any suggestions or ideas to talk about the next episode please don't hesitate to leave them down below...or send me a voice message via Anchor!

Thank you for tuning in and see you on the next one, sending you loads of love and blessings!
