Is Spiritualism the Battlefield of the Coming Sexual Conflict?

Let’s just call it what it is: something seismic is shifting beneath our feet — and it’s not just the tectonic plates of politics, patriarchy, and posturing. It’s spiritual. It’s economic. It’s deeply, unapologetically gendered. And it might just be the spark for the next great gender conflict of the human race.
When Donald Trump and his evangelical entourage gleefully stripped away Roe v. Wade, rolled back Title IX protections, and told women to smile sweetly while their rights dissolved, many saw it as a return to 1950s morality. I completely disagree.
It’s much older than that. We’re not rewinding to I Love Lucy — we’re diving face-first into a live-action rehearsal of The Handmaid’s Tale, with a bad comb-over, a Bible, and a Twitter account.
But unlike Atwood’s red-cloaked dystopia, where men rule through force and God-speak, today’s real-world resistance isn’t just rising from universities or political parties. It’s rising from mediumship circles. From Reiki studios. From tarot decks, goddess altars, and candlelit rooms where women are remembering what the world tried to make them forget:
Their power.
🜃 Mediumship Is the Matriarchy (with incense)
Let’s be honest. Walk into any spiritualist church or mediumship gathering today and ask yourself: who’s in charge?
Spoiler alert: it’s not the guys. It’s not Father O’Reilly. It’s not some bishop or theologian in robes.
It’s Linda. Or Susan. Or Raven Moonstone, who just channelled your dead gran and also taught a full-moon manifestation workshop for $99. It’s women. Running the show. Holding the energy. Sending invoices.
And the clients? Overwhelmingly female. Middle-aged, middle-class, mystically inclined — and ready to take back their lives. Not by joining a protest, but by starting a YouTube channel where they whisper messages from the ancestors while cashing in PayPal balances.
This isn’t a cult. It’s a business model. And it’s booming.
📚 The Handmaid’s Tale Was a Warning — Not a Blueprint
In Atwood’s Gilead, women lose their rights, their names, and their voices. They become their walking wombs. Sound familiar? Unfortunately, yes.
Now zoom out. What’s happening in the real world?
Women in many states needing to travel 600 miles or more for reproductive healthcare. Bosses refusing to cover contraception. Senators invoking God to silence women in committee hearings. If that’s not Gilead-Lite, I don’t know what is.
But here’s the twist: Atwood’s handmaids had no escape. They were forbidden to read, speak, earn, or lead.
Today’s spiritual women can do all four — and invoice for it.
They’re not just resisting with signs and slogans. They’re resisting with spirit. With sacred geometry leggings and moon apps. With Instagram live streams where they read collective energy and call BS on patriarchal control — all while selling manifestation kits.
🤹♂️ But What About the Men? Are They the New Oppressed?
Oh, bless. Every now and then, a man walks into a women-led development circle, gazes around at the incense and altar cloths, and whispers:
“Wait… is this what it feels like to be side-lined?”
Cue Marc Stuart. Yes, my colleague, psychic comrade, and self-proclaimed “Scottish-trained, sarcasm-powered spiritual male unicorn.” Marc walks into these goddess-drenched rooms like the last Dodo at a vegan yoga potluck.
And yet — he thrives. Why? Because he knows exactly where he is. He doesn’t puff up. He doesn’t take over. He offers a message, a laugh, a perfectly timed eye-roll, and lets the circle do what it does best: run without needing to be saved.
So no — men aren’t oppressed in Spiritualism. They’re just not the assumed leaders anymore. And they shouldn’t be. Not here. Not now.
🔥 This Is the Frontline of the New Feminism
If we’re going to survive this cultural regression, women need more than marches. We need money. We need mysticism. We need to remember that our ancestors lit fires and called down spirits long before governments handed us rights they’re now trying to revoke.
Spiritualism isn’t an escape. It’s a strategy.
It’s a movement where women are the healers, the leaders, the earners. It’s a place where intuition is valued over instruction, where circles replace hierarchies, and where your truth doesn’t need a male validator in a collar or a tie.
To every woman reading this:👉 Get trained.👉 Get empowered.👉 Get paid.
Use your gift. Use your voice. Use your rage and your ritual and your bank account. Because the future isn’t red robes and forced breeding.
It’s incense. It’s business plans.
It’s mediumship with a feminist bite.
The battle for the soul of society isn’t coming.
It’s already here. And it’s happening in the reading room.
