SUMMARY:Course: Introduction to Creatrix Studies
DESCRIPTION:Mago Academy offers Introduction to Creatrix Studies\, as a core course of the Creatrix Studies Programs (CSP). You may take it as 2 credit course toward your M.A. or Ph.D. in Creatrix Studies programs or audit it not for academic credit. \nIntroduction to Creatrix Studies (2 Credits) \nCourse no: 101 \nInstructor: Helen Hye-Sook Hwang\, Ph.D. \nTime: 9AM to 1PM PT Jan 13-March 3 (Tuesdays\, 4 hour-long 8 weekly sessions) \nDescription: Creatrix Studies is born as a modern revival of the pre-patriarchally originated Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of Mago\, the Creatrix)\, which largely remains demonized as sea-monsters/dragons/serpents today. Chiseled by Goma better known as Ungnyeo (Bear/Head Woman) among Koreans\, the Magoist Mudang Queen Mother in the early fourth millennium BCE\, the matriversal (of maternally perceived universe) consciousness to be revived transforms feminist spirituality into its destination\, Matriversal Soteriology. We restore the bond between the natural world headed by cetaceans/whales and the human world bequeathed by our matricentric ancestors across cultures. The core course topics (Magoist Cosmology\, Ceto-ecofeminist Spirituality\, Ceto-Magoist Soteriology & Patriarchy\, Matriarchal Histories and Practices) will be discussed.

SUMMARY:S/HE Forum Course #4 Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:Forum 4             \nRegistration Here                                                                                   \nTitle: Introduction to the Bear/Shaman Queen Mother\, Goma\, and Her Manifestations \nTime: 8AM to Noon PT December 13 (one session with 15 min break) \nOrganizer/Instructor: Helen Hye-Sook Hwang\, Ph.D. in USA \nBiography: Dr. Hwang is the founder of Mago Academy and the programs of Graduate and Continuing Programs in Creatrix Studies. She is a born poet\, student\, and advocate for Life of ALL and has encountered Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of the Creatrix) through her doctoral research on Mago\, the Cosmic Mother/Creatrix. Dr. Hwang received an M.A. and a Ph.D. degrees in Religion with the emphasis on Women’s Studies. To support her research on Magoism (the Way of the Creatrix)\, she enrolled in an M.A. program in East Asian Studies and specialized in Korean Buddhism in UCLA. Authored\, edited\, and published many books and essays by Mago Books and the peer-reviewed academic journal\, S/HE: An International Journal of Goddess Studies\, and Return to Mago E-Magazine. \nSummary: This forum offers a deeper understanding about Goma\, the Bear/Mudang Queen Mother. Goma\, popularly known as Ungnyeo (Bear/Head Woman)\, stands for one of the original triad divine together with Mago\, the Creatrix\, and Gorae (Cetaceans)\, the terrestrial divine. Goma in the 4th millennium BCE foresaw the arrival of patriarchy and carved out the matriversal consciousness of the Cosmic Mother or the Nine Mago Creatrix as a means of salvation for humans to come in the patriarchal era. Founding the nine-state confederacy of Danguk (State of the Living Tree)\, Goma implanted the Ninefold Cosmic Music\, the creative force of the Matriverse\, in her socio-politico-religious institutions\, which we moderns inherited. It is not accidental that we have the legacies of Nine Mothers\, Nine Muses\, Nine Mountains\, Navratri\, and Novena etc. across cultures. Hwang hypothesizes that Goma is the originator of Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of Mago\, the Creatrix)\, which remains demonized in major patriarchal myths and religions in the form of the sea-monster/dragon/serpent. Major themes to be discussed include: The cave initiation (the Goma Myth)\, parthenogenesis\, the living tree (axis mundi)\, the color black\, the bear constellations\, the Ceto-Magoist Mudang lineage\, and/or the Ninefold Cosmic Music. \nGuest Presenters: Judy Grahn Ph.D. Kaarina Kalio Ph.D.\, Kirsten Brunsgaard Clausen (Independent Scholar) \nShare this:\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email
