Dear devotees of Dea, I would like to discuss the subject of Head Covering for Femini and Thame In many patriarchal cultures and religions, females are required to wear distinctive head coverings (not related to head coverings worn for protection from the elements). The female head covering is often explained as a sign of a female's inner conviction and outward compliance with God's commands relating to the natural order and harmonious functioning of the universe. The natural order and harmonious functioning of the universe is understood to mean that males are the natural superiors and females are the natural subordinates. In these patriarchal cultures and religions, only males may hold positions of authority or leadership or power in society (from the emperor down to the head of the household). In discussions relating to matriarchal cultures (in The Feminine Universe, the Filianic Scriptures and Aristasia, we are taught about the Golden Chain of Thame (Order, Harmony). In these matriarchal discussions, we find that in the natural order and harmonious functioning of the universe, femini (both scizomorph and intermorph) hold positions of authority or leadership or power in society (from the empress, down to the head of the household). I was wondering if any distinctive head coverings (related to positions of superiority or related to positions of subordination) are worn by femini in any of these matriarchal cultures. If so, I was also wondering under what circumstances and in what places such "distinctive head coverings" were worn. Rayati, Reverend Mother Georgia
