The Black Erotic Feminist

Where has the Erotic Spirit Gone? 

In antiquity she was present EVERYWHERE! There was no shame and guilt associated with female sexuality. It was celebrated and encouraged. Pleasure and Desire were normality and every women knew exactly what she liked in every aspect of her life.

In 2015 moving into 2016...where has the Erotic Spirit Gone?

The Erotic Spirit of the Great Whore Goddesses now lives in a very peculiar space. She is pushed underground and hidden in code words and stories involving talking snakes and witches. She also lives in the mainstream...right in our damn faces. I guess one could say she is hidden in plain sight.

I must admit...back when I was child and didn't know better I didn't too much care for Beyonce' but as she began to transform and embrace the Erotic Spirit that lives in her, she grew on me. 

The release of her un-promoted self titled album showed the world not only that she was a fucking Bo$$ but that the Erotic Spirit had returned home to a place where it naturally belonged:

FEMINISM.

Yes, I can relate to Black Feminism totally! But what is femininity and feminism void of sexuality, desire and pleasure but a mutilated version of patriarchy?  

To infuse Feminism with Eroticism brings a degree of self-awareness, autonomy and freedom to black women that has been missing for centuries!

Bey (whether she knew it or not) has ushered in or better yet, welcomed back, an ancient archetype:

                                 
                     The Black Erotic Feminist

And dammit...I'm all about that life.

Until next time Sistar-Friends...Keep your head in the Stars!
