Hey gems 💎, I’m back with another controversial piece of written art. Have you ever wondered why the “whore” on one side is praised and then on the other side she’s demonized by the very same community that secretly praises her? As I maneuver through this lifetime I’m constantly looking for ways and finding tools that help me tap into a better version of me and the woman that I see myself to be. Femininity has many layers and there are some deep rooted traumas within these layers. Let’s dive into some of the history of Femininity.
THE HISTORY:
I’m not gonna go step by step into the history of our femininity because I would be talking forever. However I will use symbols and names to help you understand the points I’m trying to convey. Femininity is an energy that we were all born with. Both man and woman, as well as, people alike and not so alike. But, women in particular came from a place during Ancient Egyptian culture ( as well as others ), where women were praised for being “whores”, sacred prostitutes, courtesans, and qedeshas. These were women who possessed great power within their womb that healed, sensualized, protected and to nurtured those they allowed in their temples ( or bodies ). Women of this caliber were held to a higher standard because there is power in our sex. Women hold great power in their sex. If you’re a woman reading this, you need to know that. This is why I don’t agree with giving your body away to “everyone” that makes your body feel good outwardly. You need to give your temple to people who make you feel valued and adored, because they genuinely want to take care of you. Not what’s just in between your legs. Once women fully understand and accept that one of our greatest gifts is what we have in between our legs, you won’t want to give that gift away so freely and loosely. When our sex has been robbed from us due to sexual assault, traumas, self inflicted abuse, and patriarchy, we as women will most definitely lose ourselves because we are connected to our womb. We give life, create life, and without us, this cycle would die.
( Referring to ancient history )
Sacred prostitution or sacred sex were held in temples where a woman, aka a goddess, would have sex with both men and women for an offering. Usually money or some form of offering that could be of use to the “whore”. This was seen as a spiritual/sexual religious or magical practice for everyone involved. Absolutely no one was allowed to enter without a proper offering. These offerings were needed because women would get pregnant and needed resources for their offspring. Men during this period praised and worshiped women of this caliber because she was able to maintain their lineage and legacy. Their wives, during this period, also didn’t have any issues with their husbands sleeping with sacred prostitutes because there was a need for maintaining offspring, legacy, and the amount of spiritual healing that a man could benefit from after the act was done would be a great advantage to the wives. Wives during this time never really considered this cheating because men naturally will procreate and have the desire to have sex with different women throughout their phases of life. In modern times this is a huge issue for many different reasons that I won’t discuss, but monogamy is very unnatural to human existence.
Goddesses such as Astarte and Aphrodite were symbolic of war, feminine power, sex, sensuality and fertility. Feminine energy can create a nation as well as destroy it because that’s how much power we hold. Our feminine energies are calming, soothing, and soft, while also being expressive, dark, and seductive. These goddesses symbolized what true beauty meant to the people at the time that worshiped them. Take a look at these statues below.
Do you see how they all look? Their body types are different, their shades are different, their bone structure is different but they all have one common denominator. They were all admired for their beauty. This shows that there are people that will admire and praise you from head to toe, and generally, if they’re a man, I highly recommend that these are men who worship the woman you are.
DID WOMEN PARTAKE IN THESE RITUALS?
Absolutely. Women also adored and respected Sacred prostitutes. They loved them and they love what these women were able to provide for their families. When they allowed their man to sleep with the women at the temple, this naturally inspired men to work harder for their community. Women partook in these sacred sexual rituals because women needed healing from other women as well. When life became daunting the sacred prostitutes provided nurturing to other women through sex and tantric therapy as well. This wasn’t just for men, and their men weren’t upset about it either. Because if they could trust the sacred “whores” with themselves, they could most certainly trust them with their wives.
Whores are adored and praised and I actually enjoy reading many different studies that talk about this. It changes my perspective on the “other woman”, the side chick, or the mistress. None of that was ever a factor during ancient time periods. Everyone healed each other through a woman and by a woman. But it all went to shit, and why?
PATRIARCHY was developed through jealousy.
When women became so powerful over men, men started resenting them for it. We call them incels. Men who didn’t have anything to offer wanted to benefit from a woman’s essence and became jealous because she chose to reject him because he didn’t have what she needed. These men and even in modern times should be avoided at all costs. This was the beginning of disrupting the feminine energy in women and why we have so many women competing with each other today. Competing over body types, competing over a man’s love, competing over degrees and jobs. This has all disrupted women in its entirety and once again the focus has become so male centered and less centered on the true beauty of women.
Now being called a whore is a derogatory word used to describe a woman who wants to experience pleasure. She’s only a whore up until the point she no longer wants a man or rejects him. Women are being killed because men are now jealous of a woman’s beauty and the attention she gets. Because women aren’t safe to operate in their sexual nature, women have turned more masculine and have dominated the educational opportunities and career paths. Because we “have to” excel in something that takes us away from ourselves because men have told us that we are worthless without these “things”, we have now shifted into working as hard or harder than a man to compete with them as well. Women are now not being allowed to be women from her own people. It’s sad that we went from a time where we were praised for our sex to now being abused for it. Sisters my heart bleeds for all of us and I want you ladies to take heed in rediscovering your womb and your love for self. Your sex is so powerful and that’s why men want it so bad and will do anything to get it. Other women are jealous of the “whore” because she knows her power. There’s power in sacred sex, prostitution and whore activity. Because these types of women know EXACTLY what they want and how they want it. They have control over their bodies and boundaries. Their standards are so high that you can’t even see them.
As I end part 1, in part 2 I will discuss how you can tap back into your goddess essence. This is not going to be easy, and there is a lot of unlearning but we’ll get there together!
Ciao until next time 💋
