We are an organization dedicated to female led relationships, female led communities and female led projects of all kinds.
Our focus is on art, education and community by and for Dominant Women and those who love us.
Our projects include movies, books, classes, podcasts, and NFT art collections, as well as physical meeting spaces such as Cathexis House and the Temple of the Dark Goddess, and their virtual counterparts being built in the metaverse for our growing online community. We are also working in collaboration with related projects like a FemDom museum and archive that is the repository of historical FemDom publications and artifacts.
What is gynarchy? It is a society led by women, but more than that it is a kind of underground religion with its own norms and moral guidelines - one that combines the kinky sexuality of FemDom with the social and political fire of feminism and the spiritual zeal of Goddess worship and witchcraft. Gynarchy is for those who think feminism doesn’t go far enough.
The I/O stands for input/output. Women input our plans, visions, desires and needs, and our submissives feed those through their own sets of skills, knowledge, resources and willingness to serve in order to output results.
Take a look around at what we’re working on now, and join us on a mission to celebrate the leadership and power of women.
Viola Strepsata Voltairine opened her professional writing career with her tour de force, 150 Years of Gynarchy, exploring the intersection between FemDom and feminism. An accomplished filmmaker, she has participated in many illicit occupations to support her artistic habits, from being the program director of the Z Film Festival and festival director of the 72 Hour Feature Project in Chicago to running a commercial BDSM studio/art space and later becoming a kink educator for in-person and on-line workshops.
Voltairine founded the production company Artvamp in 2000, and has since produced several award-winning feature films. These include the experimental narrative film Profane, which won Best Feature at the Boston Underground Film Festival and Best Film of the Year in the Underground Film Journal, as well as the Creative Capital award-winning documentary Nice Bombs, shot in Baghdad a few months after the beginning of U.S. occupation. Her work has appeared on the Sundance Channel, and many of the films she has worked on have been distributed internationally and shown in festivals and on television worldwide. For her short films, she has received grants from the Princess Grace Foundation and the Film Society of Lincoln Center. She was also given a full merit scholarship to the School of the Art Institute Chicago where she received her Master's in Film and Video.
After earning her MFA she dove into the study of Indian philosophy and Sanskrit via Oxford’s Hindu Studies program and Maharishi International University. She recently launched a private international organization called The Company, where Women have their desires served by a well-screened and carefully selected group of men. She is currently working on a new film called Finding Love, based on the popular FemDom romance by Renee Lane with a screenplay by Guinevere Turner of American Psycho fame. She teaches courses on female-led relationships for men, and mentors a small group of students in her Succubus Tech hypnosis and mind control program. Viola is also a mom and a grandmother who spends her spare time reading, gardening, meditating, and creating podcasts. She lives in Colorado with her two beloved submissives, Drum and Robbi..
Our current roadmap includes many exciting projects.
Phase 1: The Art- The Viola Voltairine Collection is a small collection of NFTs featuring four women artists from the U.S., Venezuela, and Ukraine, creating portraits of Ms. Viola Voltairine (based on two photos). Proceeds support Cathexis House. Collectors get access to our online Cathexis House Discord server, and priority access (pre-sale list) to any future collections. Finding Love is a feature film in progress based on Renee Lane's FemDom romance Finding Love through Female Domination, with screenplay by Guinevere Turner (screenwriter of American Psycho, The Infamous Bettie Page, Charlie Says, and more)
Phase 2: The Books - We begin with 150 Years of Gynarchy (now available), which is an overview of how to use D/s and FemDom to improve your life and make the world a better place. On October 21, 2023, we will see the release of Ms. V’s new book The Pillars of Gynarchy, which gives a thorough explanation of the philosophy of Gynarchy and how it is implemented, and detailed instructions on how to make networked Gynarchic communities work. Excerpts from the books are sometimes included in the Obedient Love podcast.
Phase 3: The Courses - Ms. Viola Voltairine has created two distinct courses of study. The first is the Obedient Love FLR course for men. This teaches men to become the best, most authentic submissives they can be, training them in practical skills, as well as the best way to find and approach Dominant Women. The second course currently offered is Succubus Tech, a mind control and hypnosis program. Intense psychological edgeplay allows the submissive to split himself into various personality states, be it the ideal submissive self who surfaces to take over his actions as needed, or an ideal Dominant who will rule his mind 24/7. Dominants can also use the program to install their voice inside their submissive’s head permanently, in order to guide and instruct them.
Phase 4: The Company - The Company is an active private international society of Dominant Women and thoroughly pre-vetted submissive men who obey them. The organization is run by a select group of Oracles - a handful of women who decide on the direction and activity of the Company. Male members are referred to as Company properties. A collection of keys allow collectors to find real hidden treasures locked at specific latitudes and longitudes around the planet (from Australia to Netherlands to the U.S.), and gain access to The Company. This includes online access as well as future events at the Temple of the Dark Goddess. Access can also be gained by finding the five word passphrase and numeric passcode.
Phase 5: The Temple and Retreat - The long term goal is to create both a physical and on-line Temple of the Dark Goddess attached to an in person voluntary community and a private retreat which practices Gynarchy (as described by Ms. Voltairine’s books) 24/7 and 365 days per year. It is to be a spiritual center, getaway, and home to several Oracles and their attendant submissive properties. The Pillars of Gynarchy will be the foundational philosophy to set an example for future offshoots and networked communities like it. Nodes in a global web-like Gynarchic system that operates parallel to and overlaid atop mainstream society. The in-person and online Temple will host regular rituals honoring Living Goddesses.
The Obedient Love podcast and Ms Viola's training has been enormously helpful for me. Without her advice and insights, I would have made terrible mistakes. Her experience, objectivity, and sincere care for her trainees has made an impact on my life I won't soon forget. My life isn't "easier" but it's certainly better. I have better communication skills, more confidence, and a support network for when I face challenges. Most of this comes from her guided introspection. I only wish I had started sooner.
This is a spectacularly well-written (manifesto? Can I use that word?) book, that offers a beautifully complete and compelling view of a potential world of the future, with a realistic approach to making change in the here-and-now. For the male submissive, this is required reading. For Female Dominants, well, you probably already know all of this information, but I recommend it all the same. If you want to show your support, then it's required buying, at the very least. Then make it required reading for one of the men in your life. They will be grateful!
Have questions about a project, or want to get involved somehow? Send us a message and we'll get back to you within 48 hours. Just a note, this is not the place to announce your undying love and devotion to one of the Dominant Ladies. Let's get to know each other before you do that, ok?
