Oversexualizing the Goddess.

There is nothing radical about over-sexualizing The Goddess.

Oversexualizing the Goddess is a symptonm of patriarchy and colonialism, plain and simple.

“Goddess” culture and lifestyle in the new age is rooted in misogyny and being pleasing to the male gaze.

Same old story, new packaging.

We must be discerning with where we learn about the Goddess and Feminine / Masculine energies. Particularly, "tantric" practitioners.

is it Polarity or is it Patriarchy?

Is it Tantra or Capitalism? 

Is it authentic essence expression or the wounded maiden crying out in desperation for help?

is it inclusive to and liberatory for all bodies, all women, all people? Look around the room to see.

Is it rooted in lineage and rooted in something True?

Is it upholding Dharma or creating Karma?

Reducing the Goddess down to a thin white woman looking "sexy" is like reducing the ocean down to a single drop. Or less than a drop.

Kali cackles and then she growls.

No shame - I did this, lived this, and believed this too. The irony is not lost on me.

Reducing ourselves down to fit a “Feminine” mold according to the new age rhetoric is the same oppressive recipe that made us feel like we had to break out of the cage in the first place.

The goddess is everything. The Absolute. The Great Mother. The birther. The seed of all creation. She is the inseparability between life and death. She is beyond words. she is Pure Truth, Alchemy, and Power.

She who was never born and will never die. The darkness that we come from and return to. She is All That Is.

She is life force and chaos. She is bliss and She is wrath. She is liberation. She is the absolute. beyond comprehension.

Sexy has nothing to do with it. And it never has.

Jai Ma.
