What does it mean to be
a women to follow the goddess Babalon? To me its all about the
refusal of none, of nothing. To do and accept everything in life, to
live free from the repression of the Christian world. Woman has not
had an easy ride. In the last aeon she has been classified into too
many boxes, we have been torn apart and stripped down and put into
shackles. Punished for something that might not have happened.
Punished for our wanting of more, basically been put in our places.
To me Babalon is my freedom, she is the breath in my lungs and the
passion in my loins, she is my lust and sexual power! My unstoppable
need to be free!
We live in a world
where free women are called names like slut and whore. What for?
Being free expressing our own sexual power, giving into desire? The
word sex is not a dirty word, the act of sex is not a sin it isn't
something that we should feel ashamed about. Those days have gone and
if they haven't, well they shall. Sex is as natural as taking a
breath, it's a need like sleep and a heart beat. We are, all of us
created in that moment of passion, in the true moment where we are
truly alive and one with that divine spark. Who in that one moment
has not forgotten themselves totally, and given in to that roar? Who
has not given in to that animal inside them, in that pure moment of
orgasm?
But let's not be
animals, let's strive for more. That energy I create in that moment
of passion is to me Babalon. I clear a space, I see the goddess and
then in that moment I become the goddess. I become one with her, my
pleasure is hers, my delight is her delight.
Women are changing we
are becoming as strong as men; we are sharpening our swords ready to
stand side by side in battle. We are ripping apart these “boxes”
and standing on our own two feet. We are woman, we are free and
equal! Highly driven and always wanting more, we don't need to be a
wife or a mother to find our place in the world, we are doing it off
our own backs. It always takes me back to see how far we have come,
how many miles on the journey we have walked together. I am so
thankful for everyone that took a stand and in doing so took a risk,
all so I can be here today writing this in freedom.
I am not ashamed of
what I am, I am proud of my body, my tempting ways, I am a huntress
on the prowl with needs that need to be fulfilled. It is not just
love I am seeking it is force and fire. I am Babalon!
I am not afraid of the
power of myself, of the driving force of my sex. It is strong and
powerful, it is my own bench mark. I am not maddened by the
repression of the feminine, I have chosen the path to walk down with
power, my freedom on this plane is my own. I am not a slave to the
machine but make my own path, carve out my own steps up this mountain
to enlightenment. I hear the call of the wind and answer, I feel the
power of the moon stir me in my own cycle and I feel alive. It is not
a curse but a symbol of what I am, a women. This power is mine and
also yours, no person can take this away from you, it's in your DNA.
You have the right to be free, you have the right to give in to lust
and sex without feeling the shame of our forefathers. We are the
children of this new Aeon, we do not feel shame, we don't not feel
restriction, we feel love, light and liberty!
So to me, to be a
Scarlet Women is to be me, to try new things, refuse no point of
view, no action, to feel everything that this world has to offer and
in doing so feel none of the shame and restriction that is meant to
go with it. I do not judge in the hope that you do not judge me, but
if you do that's okay. Call me a whore and I will smile, call me a
slut and I will be filled with joy, these are your words not mine. I
have taken them back and in me I have made them strong again!
