In the Psycheverse
Psyche centers marginalized and fierce goddesses—particularly from Hindu tantra and occult traditions—as sources of genuine spiritual power rather than symbols to be domesticated. She treats these figures as living presences whose radical qualities (rebellion, destruction of obstacles, transgressive wisdom, erotic sovereignty) directly counter patriarchal distortions and offer contemporary practitioners models of unapologetic feminine authority.
