This group is dedicated to Uniting the Amazon Nation. I know it seems crazy and a lot of people think that you would have to be crazy to join a group (or Tribe) of women who think that they're Amazons.
But wait a minute, before you jump at the word, listen. An Amazon today is not a woman who ostracizes men, or gives her baby away based on it's gender. Nor would it be practical for families today, to do the same with their daughters in the case of patriarchal societies.
Rather, I believe that the Modern Day Amazons are a group of women who believe in strength through unity, because what is an Amazon without her Nation, without her Tribe of women?
Being an Amazon today isn't getting up and praying to Goddesses, or wiping ourselves in mud while howling at the moon. Its being one with our femininity, its supporting each other as women, its not condoning the actions of men against us, its standing up for our rights as women. It's being a warrior at heart, body, mind, and spirit.
And the only way to do that is to Unite. We can't be a Nation by accepting only a few women who fit a certain criteria when there are broad ranges of words that can define an Amazon, we must accept all women who believe in defending their womanhood, who believe in loving themselves as women.
The Gorgons (the name of this group) is named after Medusa who was a snake-haired Goddess worshiped by the ancient Amazon tribe in Libya. She is a woman who represents wisdom, who was turned into a snake-haired Monster by men.
Uniting the Amazon Nation is a calling to unite all women who are warriors at heart, who have survived, who will survive, who can't be crushed easily through defeat of the spirit.
This group is opened to all women who believe in that, who can find Strength through Unity, through each other, and not just in 'me, myself, and I'. To call yourself an Amazon is just a beautiful way of saying, 'I respect myself, and others as women, and would defend that as well as my beliefs.'
