Our Story
Cherish The Cunt began with a simple question: why does one small word carry so much shock and so little celebration? Our story is the answer we're still living into — a choice to meet an old word with new love.
Ancient Roots
The word "Cunt" is far older than its modern reputation suggests. Its roots trace back through language connected to women, goddesses, witches, and priestesses — figures once honoured for their wisdom and power. Long before it became a word to whisper or avoid, it named something sacred.
A Word Worth Reclaiming
We see "Cunt" as a sacred word, filled with potent power that has been buried under centuries of discomfort. Reclaiming it isn't about shock value — it's about restoring a lineage of respect for the body and the feminine that the word once carried.
We know this word can shock. We don't use it to cause offence — we use it because of its ancient roots, and because we believe love is a better response to it than fear or hate.
Choosing Love Over Hate
Our story is a dream for a Cunt loving future: a world where every woman can speak of and relate to her body without shame. That dream shapes everything on this site, from the Cunt Loving Quest to our Cuntcraft circles and events.
