Our Philosophy

Indigenous groups in precolonial times were profoundly spiritual, and the very core of that spiritual belief was derived from the Sacred Feminine, that of Mother Earth. Most original cultures consider women as sacred because they maintain a close connection to nature, birth, life, and death; to medicinal plants; and to spiritual knowledge.

Many of these groups coexisted with the highly advanced civilisations of Lemuria and Atlantis. Many ancient cultures across the world have preserved stories, symbols, and ruins that point toward a time when powerful, advanced civilisations ruled the Earth, long before the beginning of recorded history.

Lemuria was a vast realm of archipelagoes and islands that once sprawled across the Pacific Ocean. Lemuria was a matriarchal society that honoured the Sacred Feminine. Lemurians lived in harmony with the Earth and were deeply in tune with nature and higher consciousness. Lemuria was a spiritually oriented civilisation whose focus was emotional intelligence, unity, healing and collective balance rather than conquest or industrial expansion. 

Atlantis was an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean known for it's more masculine, hierarchical structure. Atlanteans were known for their advanced knowledge of astronomy, genetics and engineering and their technological mastery - especially in energy, architecture and weaponry. It is said that Atlanteans lost their spiritual path as their ambitious nature led them to become obsessed with power and domination.  

Ancient texts suggest that Atlantis and Lemuria traded knowledge and resources until Atlantis grew more aggressive in their pursuits of colonisation, experimentation and control, leading to tensions between the two civilisations due to ideological differences.  

Lemurians sought to preserve natural order and spiritual law while Atlanteans sought to manipulate, dominate and control the Earth's energies using dimensional gateways and false energetic grids and overlays. This disrupted the organic crystalline grids that Lemurians used to build their cities and eventually the ideological divide descended into full-blown conflict, leading to the devastation of both civilisations.

The fall of Atlantis and Lemuria resulted in massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the sinking of both continents, a shift in the Earth's magnetic poles and a loss of global memory, known as "The Great Forgetting". This culminated in the "Great Flood" remembered in nearly every culture on Earth. 

Oral histories from Hawaii, Fiji, Māori, Aboriginal and Tibetan lineages still echo the same truth: a peaceful, heart led people disappeared beneath the waves, while Greek myths about Atlantis speak of hubris, punishment and loss. Native American cultures speak of great floods -  Many legends of East Coast tribes mention ancestors who came from a land just due east of them - a land now under water. There is some suggestion that many of the tribes of the West Coast are descendants of Lemuria. It is also said that pre-Inca people were seeded from Lemuria. The Mayans, according to some esoteric readings, were a conglomeration of Incas, Lemurians, Atlanteans. There is some suggestion that Australian Aboriginals were seeded on Earth in Lemuria by Pleieadian star beings. Many other cultures also speak of "sky people".

Although our pre-recorded history is fragmented and widely debated, we do know that indigenous cultures hold knowledge of our hidden history. 

We believe that the fall of Atlantis was the result of a loss of spiritual and moral values which led to the loss of balance between matriarchy (Feminine) and patriarchy (Masculine). The original Atlanteans were more attuned to nature and spirituality and respected the wisdom and principles of the Feminine.  The "fall" signifies a shift towards patriarchy, characterized by male dominance, aggression, and a focus on material power - which ultimately led to the downfall of both Atlantis and Lemuria, disrupting the Earth's crystalline grid which held our planet's energetic balance.

While much of our history between the fall of 12,000 years ago and the beginning of recorded history is debated, we can easily draw a parallel between the Atlantean abuse of power and the rise of the patriarchal rule we live under today - most notably represented by the Vatican and the Holy See.

In the middle ages, the Sacred Feminine was decimated as a result of colonisation and the persecution of “witches” by the Roman Catholic Church, who justified their actions via The Doctrine of Discovery - which stated that any land not inhabited by Christians was available to be discovered, claimed, and exploited by Christian rulers. 

In Early Modern Europe, many women labeled as witches were actually wise-women and midwives who served as healers in their communities. These women often used herbs, poultices, prayers, and ointments to treat illnesses. Their healing practices, rooted in traditional knowledge and spiritual beliefs, were often intertwined with magic and herbalism. 

The wise ones persecuted as "witches" were generally those embodying the nurturing, intuitive, and healing aspects of the Sacred Feminine - those deeply connected to nature and the ancient wisdom of Lemuria. There is a strong link between those wise women and the shamans and medicine people of indigenous cultures - they shared the same deep knowledge of medicinal plants, rituals, spiritual practices and ability to heal and guide their communities. 

The Malleus Maleficarum or "Hammer of Witches" came into being shortly after a papal bull (a proclamation made by the pope) was issued against witchcraft in 1484 . The Sacred Feminine was declared demonic and an entire dimension largely disappeared from human experience. Thus began the great inversion of spiritual history.

This marked the beginning of the patriarchal systems of today. Those systems were built on stolen land and the desecration of the Sacred Feminine.

The Earths resources became a commodity to a patriarchal minority of wealthy and influential elite families and corporations, creating a class divide and disconnection far removed from the balance and order held by the indigenous cultures and pagan traditions they declared heretical.

Colonialism, capitalism and endless warfare ensured widespread distortion of Masculine energy and continued suppression of the Feminine and as a result humanity was driven into lower states of consciousness. This cycle of relational wounding and imbalance between collective Masculine and Feminine energy has snowballed through our ancestral lines and the collective consciousness since the fall of Atlantis.

Since the Mayan prophesized shift in consciousness began in 2012, Feminine energy has been rising and women have been healing, speaking their truth, reconnecting to the cycles of the earth and remembering the wisdom and balance of a pre-colonial world. As a result, men are waking up to their own emotions and how they have been conditioned to numb their pain and compete for status by pursuing wealth, status and elevation at the expense of the Feminine.

Healed Feminine energy awakens, inspires and elevates men into their highest truth and purpose, illuminating the unconscious beliefs and patterns of behaviour that hold Masculinity in a dying paradigm. Awakened women hold the key to our future. We are the keepers of ancient wisdom and the mothers of future fathers, lovers and leaders.

The name Empress Rising is a reference to the reclamation of the Sacred Feminine. The Empress is a Tarot archetype who represents the Feminine in her fully evolved state – she is the Divine Mother.

The women walking this path hold a sacred responsibility for healing the collective consciousness and the Earth's energetic grid through their journey of intimate relationships, motherhood, spiritual ascension and the remembrance of the wisdom of our ancestors. These women have walked the Earth in many incarnations across history and hold the memory of thousands of years of patriarchal trauma along with the original wisdom of the priestesses of Atlantis and Lemuria in their wombs and hearts. 

The Empress is viewed as a source of stability, support and wisdom by her Masculine Counterpart – the Emperor. The Emperor is now beginning to rise as men confront their own healing and begin to understand the destructive binds that patriarchy has held them in. 

Their union is a representation of the sacred balance of Maternal and Paternal energy required to build and protect a thriving family, community or entire Empire... or peacefully transform a tyrannical one that enslaves and divides its people.

The vision for Empress Rising is the establishment of a thriving community of women and men doing this sacred work and building a legacy for generations to come so that we may reveal what was hidden, recover what was lost and bring heaven back to earth. 

Many may know this as the biblical prophecy of humanity's return to The Garden of Eden. We know this to be the return of the Sacred Feminine and Lemuria - not as a physical place but a spiritual journey of repentance, healing and reconciliation of Masculinity and Femininity.

It is our mission to bring healing to our world through our relationships, ancestral lineage healing and the spiritual legacy we leave for our children to take forward.
