A bizarre new statue depicting a naked woman sporting medusa-like braids and the signature lace collar of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has just been installed alongside statues of Moses and Zoroaster atop the courthouse of the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court. The artist calls it a symbol of female empowerment, but the public sees it differently.
One of the reasons so many people are becoming involved in the occult these days is because they don’t know what it is, how it manifests, and who is behind those manifestations.

AA writes: “I just read the article Anthroposophy/Waldorf and Catholic Homeschooling. May I ask a question? I found the dolls they make about a year ago. I started making them but with normal things and using clothing that was given to me just to be able to make dolls for kids. Yes I freely give them to any child that wants one. It is a joy to see a little child smile. Ok I don’t go along with any of their beliefs as I later found out about them. Is it ok that I make these dolls for children? To me it’s a gift from God because he made me able to make them and I make sure to say that they are a gift from God. I am starting to wonder now.”

MA asks: “Have you done any research into Christian Science? My daughter is following it and every time I try to read about it I become angry. I have a good relationship with my daughter and her children and want to keep it that way but would like some concise information. You would be such a blessing to me if you have such information.”

When facing miscarriage or infertility the feelings such as confusion, shock, frustration, irritability, or for the woman to see herself as having less value than other “fertile women” may make sense. A woman may begin to internalize statements such as “God does not love me or does not care for me. Surely He knows that I am open to life, to be fruitful, to raise children and He has not made it happen.” These initial feelings are expected because a woman never dreamed of having reproductive challenges.
