Spiritual Limping: What Happens When Your Craft Is Missing Half Its Magic

What happens when we isolate the Goddess from the God? As we explore this thought-provoking discussion, it seems many modern witches have done exactly that with the divine masculine in their spiritual practices. This marginalization creates what we call a "lopsided craft"—spiritual practices missing essential balance and wholeness.
The conversation dives deep into why this imbalance exists. For many, particularly women who've experienced trauma or disappointment with patriarchal structures, goddess-worship becomes a sanctuary. Yet this well-intentioned focus often swings too far; perfect love and perfect trust—foundational principles of the craft—cannot truly exist alongside gender-based prejudice or dismissal.
Our spiritual lives gain richness and depth through integrating the feminine and the masculine. We explore the value of sometimes separate but ultimately united spiritual exploration and why knowing thyself requires acknowledging both the masculine and feminine aspects within. Share your thoughts with us on social media and let us know how you honor divine balance in your practice!
