Yes, she sells fake sweats. And other fake ceremonies. She charges local college girls and privileged middle-aged women thousands of dollars to learn these things from her. After they give her enough money and hang out with her for a while she proclaims them priestesses.
Not priestesses of any legitimate tradition; it's all newage, eclectic dabbling that vultures from diverse cultures and even from fiction. She's reduced the idea of ceremonial titles that should be earned in real community to "archetypes" - that if you imagine yourself to be a ceremonial leader, and do enough pay-to-pray, you can buy meaningless titles from her. It's sad to see so many women fall for it. I've met women who blew a lot of money at her place. They knew very little about any ceremonies or traditions, but felt they should be community leaders because they had paid for these empty titles. Starkweather also has ties to some of the Neopagan groups that sell sweats and encourage non-Natives to declare themselves Indigenous.
Because Katrina Coravos dyed her black hair to promote the chocolate honey concept she ripped off from us at Tosaduria Antigua aqnd perverted with processed cocoa butter and cocoa powder rather than our whole bean Guatemalan cacao that we roast in the same machine we've roasted coffee in since 1993 it was
not as obvious she was the one who came in and brought an Australian accented idiot who appeared drunk in the middle of the day but this phot gave her away.Also a Guatemalan woman also gave me a heads up that an Israeli woman was beginning to make chocolate honey bars.
In retrospect an also probably dyed blonde Israeli or Jewish Zionist woman here in Antigua named 'Gg' who tried to get me to sell her our business before she began making 'traditional' cacao sugar chocolate blocks for drinking is probably related as they not only look somewhat alike but have similar scammy pushy personalities.Gg insults Mayan cacao history by naming her traditional chocolate ripoff of Guatemalan and Oaxaca chocolate for drinking blocks Janapu after one of the twins of twins of the Popul Vu.On the other hand people mainly non Mayan who make the traditional chocxolate blocks she makes NEVER name their choccolate with a Mayan name becvause they know of its European origens and that ancient Mayans would be made literwally ill to know their cacaoi is mixed with the imported cane sugar of Conquistadors particularly Hernan Cortez. Funny that Gg who held her hands over her ears when I told her I had received death for complaining about Iranian Israeli ex Presindent of Israel Moshe Katsav's and PM Ehud Olmert's stock frauds against Americans where tasttoo like a biker or whatever wghich is a real Jewish taboo.Reminds me of Veronique 'Plant Trees In Israel' Pozner of Newtown CT Sandy Hook infamy who along with her daugher went out and got themselves tattooed the day after her alleged son Noah was shot by Adam Lanza.Lanza in fact had a childhood girlfriend name Alex Israel who said on twitter on the day of the event that she used to go to his house on 'play dates'.Does that mean mass child murderer Adam Lanza was Jewish as well or would her mother Beth Israel alliow her to play around with a 'goy' toy ?
Gg also likes toReminds me of Katrina and pretend she is sdo very much devoted to Mayan culture but only studies a phoney Mayan astrology with a Guatemalan who is not even Mayan himself and spends her time in Antigua - a very un-Mayan part of Guatemala.Reminds me of ALisa Starkweather encouraging her followers to fraudulantly declare thermselves as ' Indigenous'.
Below: Katrina Coravos
Note she doesn't look very Semitic but of course the very claim that she is a Jewish Semite is a longer running bigger lie than most of her ongoing scams and lies.And that's saying something.We should ask Bernie Sanders to give any money from her Bernie bar scam to Mayn people Israelis massacred or holocausted in the 1980's based on fraudulant claim they were somehow followers of Rothschild cousiin Carl Marx.

Alisa Starkweather
« on: January 20, 2013, 08:31:02 pm »
Since Alisa has been mentioned in several threads I think it is long over due for one of her own.
http://alisastarkweather.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
"ALisa Starkweather is the founder of many powerful women's initiatives; the Red Tent Temple Movement, Daughters of the Earth Gatherings, the Women's Belly and Womb Conferences, the women's mystery school, Priestess Path Apprenticeship and co-founder of the international women's initiation, Women in Power. She is a Shadow Work and breathwork facilitator as well as a keynote speaker and lifecoach. Over twenty-eight years of dedication to women's empowerment gave her a reputation where she is known for her passionate archetypal work that focuses on transformation, healing, community, ritual and the rebalancing of the sacred feminine. Read on for more information on how you can be involved."
http://alisastarkweather.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=60&Itemid=41
9th Daughters of the Earth Gathering;
August 2-4, 2013
a Women's Tribal Event (my bold)
"Connection to our Diverse Sisterhood and Our Need to Know that it is Possible to Heal the Deep Cultural Divisions that have separated and hurt us:
Enter the Rainbow Turtle's Women's Temple:
Daring new paradigms together by diving into the unspoken, honesty and deep listening, Shadow Work, council, offering up of our heart stories, healing the Sacred Hoop, courageously facing racism, classism, homophobia as fractures that we the women of the earth are bravely seeking to repair and actively shift, remembrance of our ancestors, teachers, and children, naively asking for trust to form new buds in the hearts of our sisters who the dominant culture has hurt, forgiveness, radical shifts."
"Other places to gather in ceremony on the land are the Stone People's Lodge, the Firecircle and the Medicine Circle. We also designate the Maiden's Grove and the Crone's Hut. Also on the land is a 4000 year old ceremonial site from a matriarchal tribe. Earthlands is off the grid and is an ecological community."

She has also taken rituals and terminology from some older Pagans who didn't charge for ceremony, and tried to copyright these things so as to better corner the market on commercializing and commodifying spiritual experience.

She's raised her fees since last I looked: http://alisastarkweather.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=2&Itemid=33
"What will you Experience? [partial list] ˜ Firewalking ...˜ Prosperity Consciousness ...˜Stone People’s Lodge ˜ Drumming and Trance-dancing ...˜ Oracle and divining work ˜ Journey to the dreamtime ˜ Recovery of the power in your heart, belly, body and sexuality"
"The cost of the training for 2013-2014 is $3900. Paypal is not available as a payment method for Priestess Path for either tuitions or deposits. It is expected that women will value themselves and the program as this is often less than one semester of college. You are worth it."

Whoa, this Red Tent Movement visually is a flashback to Bhagwan Rajneesh/Osho days.
Quote
Known for her passion for women’s empowerment, ALisa has spent twenty-four years focusing on transformation, healing, community, ritual and the rebalancing of the sacred feminine. Sylvia Brallier, author of Dancing in the Eye of Transformation says, "Alisa Starkweather is a catalyst. She has a gift for not only awakening people's minds, but also to awaken people's heart with her unique visions and methods for personal and cultural empowerment." The Red Tent Movement is now reaching to Canada, UK, and Australia. ALisa invites you to join the momentum of creating woman-honoring support structures. She holds a monthly free telecconference for starting Red Tent Temples.

Lots of other influences too, but suspect former sannyasin (followers of cult leader Rajneesh) women would be among those attracted to this.

http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/lewis/lewun02.htm#CHAP5
Chapter V.
The Rape of Dinah.
Table of Contents
Since the Biblical narrations thus far have contained stories of lust, incest, infidelity, and prostitution surely a story of rape is not out of place and I therefore proceed to relate the story of the rape of Dinah, the daughter of Leah, who was the un-bargained-for and unwanted wife of Jacob, by young Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite.
Rape is a delicate subject and should be delicately handled. Even in our Courts of law it is considered of such a nature that the general public is not permitted in the court room during its recital. What then must be said when such a story is found prominently related in the Bible, a book which is reverentially impressed upon our children as being "a divine revelation from God"? Could a more obnoxious and offensive story than that of rape be put into the hands of the young?
This story alone is sufficient to condemn the Bible as being unfit to inculcate moral instruction in children. Since the story is found in the Bible and is not the result of my imagination, I will proceed with it.
I quote the Scriptures, Genesis, Chapter 34, Verses 1-2.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
So much for the act of rape, and what followed I consider of equal importance and will proceed.
Genesis, Chapter 34, Verse 3.
3. And his soul crave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel and spake kindly unto the damsel.
Surely here is a situation that deserves at least our respect. If a man, unable to control his passion towards the irresistible witchery of a girl, realizes his mistake and is willing to protect her not only with his name but also with his love, what should be our attitude towards him? Especially so, when the girl, the object of his passion and his love, willingly accedes to his proposal.
A fair and just and equitable offer should be met with the acceptance it deserves.
Genesis, Chapter 34, Verses 4-12.
4. And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5. And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
8. And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her to him to wife.
9. And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10. And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11. And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12. Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
Surely no man could plead his suit more earnestly nor with more sincerity than young Shechem; nor do more to atone for the act of his impetuous youth.
What can a man more honorably offer than "Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me"? He pleaded his cause with fervor, ardor, and honesty, and if Justice is blind as some say, and the scales faulty, he did not deserve the brutal retaliation which the sons of Jacob inflicted upon him, his family and his country.
But we are getting a bit ahead of our story and must continue to quote the Scriptures. Now here is what Jacob and his sons demanded of Shechem and Hamor as reparation for his deed.
Genesis, Chapter 34, Verses 13-18.
13. And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14. And they said unto them, We cannot to this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
15. But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16. Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17. But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18. And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem Hamor's son.
Circumcision is the price demanded! Honor, Love and Protection are subordinate to the existence of a foreskin! The ritual of a creed is of more transcendent importance than anything else within the power of man to give! Think of it! More important than peace, friendliness and the happiness of not only a race but of the entire country. Anxious to keep his pledge of "never so much dowry and gift" to win the object of his love and make amends for his misdeed young Shechem complied immediately with their demand as the following testifies.
Genesis, Chapter 34, Verse 19.
19. And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
That he was more honorable than all the house of his father is not true according to the following testimony: Genesis, Chapter 34, Verses 20-24.
20. And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21. These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22. Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23. Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
24. And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
Is there recorded in all history a more honorable compliance with the demands of another than that just quoted of the House of Hamor? But this was not enough and did not satisfy the savage cravings of Jacob's sons, and if you read carefully of what went before you would have pondered over verse 13, of this chapter.
Let me repeat it for your benefit: "And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father deceitfully."
And now follows the most diabolical crime ever perpetrated upon an innocent people, particularly when done in the name of Peace. I call the attention of those ardent peace lovers who use the Bible in their deliberations to this passage. As you probably are not acquainted with the deviltry of the Biblical characters or with what cunning savageness they can inflict punishment, I will quote it verbatim to you.
Genesis, Chapter 34, Verses 25-29.
25. And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
26. And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
27. The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28. They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
29. And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
And this is a sample of Biblical ethics, Biblical morals, Biblical justice!
Well might Jacob say that this deed makes him stink among the inhabitants of the land. Since this is a Biblical expression, let me quote it.
Genesis, Chapter 34, Verses 30-31.
30. And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31. And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
A pitiable justification cannot condone this foul deed. Its stench pollutes the entire volume and not only nauseates the reader but contaminates the very pages upon which it is written. All ye Ministers, Priests and Rabbis, what say ye of this vicious story and the vicious book in which it is printed? Are ye stunned into speechlessness by its atrociousness?
