Many women no longer view motherhood and the role of being a loving mother as desirable. They focus instead on achieving their own materialistic goals, and view motherhood as a barrier on their path of self-indulgence and decadence.

No empire had demonstrated a richer tradition in jewelry than the Byzantines.” For 1,000 years, the Eastern Roman Empire reigned supreme and made great strides in advancing art, architecture, public works, and more. This empire merged the greatness and richness of Greece, Egypt, the Near East, and parts of Russia and North Africa, creating an unparalleled and uniquely lavish style. @GreekLeague

Ethnic faith is natural, healthy,
and how we are intended to be.
The image above is not meant to slight christianity per se, but all monotheistic, universalist religions.

We were polytheistic many millennia before the invention of monotheism.

When you leave behind the spiritual graveyard of universalistic religion and embrace the true freedom of life affirming ethnic faith, the spirituality of our forebears, your life takes on new meaning.

The old ways are tried and true.

You will not burn in an eternal lake of fire, nor be tormented without end.
You will find fulfillment in knowing that you carry with you the stories of the folk, and have a share in the blood of the divine.

Turn inward, and realize your true self worth. We are meant to be heathen.

Embrace it and let it wash over you like a cool breeze in the
midst of summer.

Be proud Hyperborean. You are descended of the gods.

While the Witch is often depicted as riding a staff or broomstick this was not always the case. In many cases the witches would ride their spirit animals or "familiars" as the church would end up calling them. They would ride them through the sky, not as literally flying but as the spirit placed outside themselves. A form of casting ones soul while asleep. They would often participate in nightly rides with gods such as Holda, Frau Hera, Diana, and many more. They would learn and spend time with their patron god, but also partook in what people have termed "Night Battles" where they would defend people and crops from more mischievous or predatory spirits. The latter of protecting crops from disease or cold spirits were very common in agrarian cults well into the middle ages.-TLK

Another aspect of witches riding a broom was one with sexual connotations! The broom (the word being a masculine noun in Old English) was also seen as a phallic object. It was certainly documented (as early as the 14th century) that salves made with Deadly Nightshade and Henbane were smeared onto the broom handle, then absorbed into the body via the witches genitals. These herbs were hallucinogenic and many users thought they were flying!

an investigation into witchcraft from 1324:

In rifleing the closet of the ladie, they found a pipe of oyntment, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thick and thin.
