Last week I set my sights on escaping my current reality and retreating in the mountains of Georgia with a group of women that I have never met but was in a 13-week course by Rev. Kimesha of BlaqFire Nation, Self Realization of a Goddess.
I didn’t think I was going to make this retreat, because I was sick earlier in the week, my daughter was coming off the tail end of being sick, and like clockwork, a close family member attempted to pick a fight with me the day before I was set to leave- this seems to be a negative pattern that I experience with this person, but more on that later. There was so much energetic pushback, that I knew there was something that needed to be released; so I prevailed and went anyway.
I am so glad that I did! Although this was my first time meeting Kimesha, BlaqFire and the other women; I didn’t know what to expect, but I did remain open to what God/dess wanted for me to receive. The whole trip was the most relaxing, fun, and insightful experience that I had in a long time, with complete strangers! We came in as strangers and left as Sisters of a secret order LOL!
What came up for me was unveiling the root of this toxic pattern in my relationship with my family. I had developed an inability to trust myself and be free in my expression; not because I didn’t like myself, but because I learned to minimize myself so that I could “feel safe” to be around people who didn’t care for me or about me. That was such a freeing realization. And unbeknownst to me, I freed myself from that pattern when I stood my ground on a boundary that was important for my safety and emotional/mental well-being.
The following day we went to a zip lining course. I have never zip lined before and frankly I don’t care for heights. Our guides were Jacob and Gabe. Jacob means to circumvent, supplant, and assail. Gabe means God’s able bodied one or Hero of God. I was terrified and almost backed out of going on the zip line cord. Kimesha reminded us that we are here to choose faith over fear, and completing this ritual, zip lining, would represent that. Understanding symbolism, I took the leap and went forward. It was NOT fun at all, but I did accomplish conquering or supplanting Fear with Faith and became the Hero that God called me to be for me! I showed up! I was peer pressured after all 😂- just kidding…
Me regretting my life choices…lol
Prior to this trip, I did stand up for myself: I showed up for myself when I left my corporate job, I stood up for myself when I stood my ground against a sexual predator, and when I did not cave in to the emotional/mental abuse that a family member tried to place on me the day before my trip. All my experiences was ritualized in the simple act of completing a 7-course zip line. I proved to myself that I am worthy of devotion, commitment, and loyalty. I revealed to myself that I am an able body of God that deserved to be cared for and loved on, without pretense.
As my Goddess sister Marla’s coworker exclaimed before she came to the retreat, she will leave a Queen and return as a Goddess! That was what this retreat ritualized for me, an entering and enabling of my own Goddess-ship and the gaining of sisters. I supplanted fear with belief and faith and rose up abled to be my Own Hero. There is so much more I will be sharing about my trip… so far this was just Day One! Stay tuned for more realization!
Sexuality encompasses more than just sex. It is a positive expression of prana energy that connects us to our personal power, desires, drive, and creativity. Sexual energy is interlinked with the conceiving power of the universe—it brings forth life in all forms. All human life has incarnated through a sexual exchange. The power that birthed us also flows through us, so that we can create and cultivate our goals and manifestations in the world.
For these last few centuries, sex has become a taboo topic, viewed by many as a shameful, sinful, dirty, and embarrassing act. These misconstructions have led us to detach from our sexuality and disconnect from our inner sacredness and divinity.
We need to reconnect with our sexual energy opening, freely, and non-judgmentally. When we explore the depths of our bodies and release the trauma, emotional wounding, and cultural conditionings that reside internally, we will re-establish the free flow of life force energy within us.
Sexual Transmutation
Thevital sexual essence contains high concentrations of life force energy and when harnessed and transmuted, it produces immense healing for our physical health, mental capacity, and spiritual development.
Our sexual energy is always oscillating, but since most of us are detached from it, we inadvertentlydirect this force into negative outcomes. We must learn how to wield this potent energy consciously so that we canexperience morezestand joy in all aspects of our life.
Sexual energy is akin to creative energy—it fuels passion, imagination, and inspiration within us, and when cultivated and properly channeled, this motivating force can become our superpower. When we attune to this vital life force, we can direct the energy upwards throughout our energy centers and outwards into the universe through our creative purists, passion projects, and healthy sexual relationships.
Establishing Boundaries
Sex is a sacred energy exchange that connects us to the highest creative and healing power in the universe. When you master sexual energy with your partner through the compassionate, unconditional exchange of love, together you will unleash one of the most powerful forces out into the world.
We must pay attention with whom we share this intimate and potent energy with.During sex,the aural energy between two people is entwined. Your partner’s thoughts, feelings, pleasures, and desires will leave an impression on your aura unless you establish proper energetic boundaries before and after this exchange.
Setting up a boundary around your body and within your intimate relationships will protect you from absorbing the energy of your partner and everyone else your partner has had sex with prior to you. To establish an energetic boundary, visualize a white light shield surrounding your auric body, protecting you from all eternal energy. Reapply this white layer each time you are intimate with someone (especially with new or casual partners)to ensure continuous protection, strength, and purification.After sex, you must practice auric and spiritual cleansing techniques to avoid energetic debris from lingering in your personal field and space.
The Sibyls were lastly received as the oracles in Ancient Greece/Rome, however, their story predates these empires as they were all over the planet; from the Amazon, Asia Minor, Northern and Eastern Africa, and India were the Matriachals Mamas. These women were representatives of the Mama Universe and they were revered as Prophetess, Goddess, Priestess and the Daughters of Mami Wata (The Divine Cosmic Mother). These Daughters, sometimes referred as The Lulus were the mothers that seeded humanity and civilized them into tribes. The Patriarchal order have done well in attempting to erase or hide the truth, but the truth is hidden inside of the 0 blood type and it is out now.
According to Mama Zogbe, author of The Sybils: The First Prophetess’ of Mami Wata, the name “Sybil” is of mixed origin derived from the Ethiopian/Cushites as a title of sacred initiatory and term of endearment for Mami known as “Cybele”, (Cybella, Cybylle,Kybrle) loosely meaning Queen of Heaven; Mother of Gods.
In short, the Sybils, often referred by the Greeks as The Muses, were literally the “light of divine wisdom” and offered the world their gifts that specified in music, art, science, philosophy, law, astronomy, architecture, husbandry, and literature/language. The are even notated as the mother that seeded the diversity of humanity.
These ancient oracles were the priestesses and mystics that served their community by entering trance states as multidimensional mediums. They held many divine prophecies that would entail the cyclic fate of birth, maturation, death, and regeneration of societies and civilizations. These women guided the societal, economic, and political order of matriarchal societies. Because of their understanding of cycles, science, metaphysics and more, they were able to predict and outline the rise and fall of a patriarchal order. They understood the necessity for cycles of human destruction and rebuilding. They foretold of a sun/thunder god to eclipse the lunar goddesses (patriarchy usurping the matriarchy) where darkness will cover the face of the earth (rise of negative accumulation of karma) and the slaughter of the first Divine Calf and the rise of a new sun/thunder god from the depths to be acclaimed as “the holy one” to restore and liberate as a sacrifice .
This story or prophesy very well may have been about the changing of ages from Taurus to Pisces age, as it foretold of Annuki a fish deity would be sent to liberate and redirect the rebellion of the rising patriarchal order into its fall. And restore the reign of virtue and justice on earth. Some scholars claim that these Sybil prophecies were referring to either Buddha, Krishna, or Yeshua/Jesus Christ of myth and history.
Whatever the stories of these oracles, the Sybils were highly revered prior to their self foretold overthrowing. These women reignedfor centuries and ages in peace and harmony with nature and cosmic cycles. They spread their wisdom on all corners of the earth, from modern day Africa (ancient Kemet/Cush/Mizarim), India (Peloponnesus/Mesopotamia), Asia (Turkey/Ionia/Minoa), Europe (Mycenea/Delphi) and the Americas (Olmecs/Amazon). They were known all over the world as Queen Mothers, or titled as Queen Mother of Heaven. This time was known as The Golden Age.
Temples, altars, and shrines were erected in their honor all over the world. Many of these scared sites are of the “Seven Wonders of the World”. These sacred sites were maintained by the Sybils and a contingent of vestal “virgin” (not owned by a man) priestesses and eunuchs.
Persian Sibyl – was said to be a prophetic priestess presiding over the Apollonian Oracle, she is said to have foretold the exploits of Alexander the Great.
Libyan Sibyl – was prophetic priestess presiding over the ancient Zeus Amon oracle at the Siwa Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt. The oracle here was consulted by Alexander after his conquest of Egypt.
Delphic Sibyl – was a legendary figure who gave prophecies in the sacred precinct of Apolloo at Delphi. The Delphic Sibyl was not the same as the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo who was also known as the Oracle of Delphi.
Cimmerian Sibyl – The Cimmerian Sibyl, by name Carmentis, was the prophetic priestess presiding over the Apollonian Oracle at Cimmerium in Italy, near Lake Avernus (i.e. Cumae).
Erythraean Sibyl – was sited at Erythrae, a town in Ionia. She is said to have predicted the Trojan War and prophesised to the Greeks who were moving against Ilium both that Troy would be destroyed and that Homer would write falsehoods.
Samian Sibyl – The Samian Sibyl was the priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle near Hera’s temple on the Isle of Samos, a Greek colony.
Cumaean Sibyl – this was the sibyl that most concerned the Romans, located near the Greek city of Naples, whom Virgil’s Aeneas consults before this descent to the lower world. It was she who supposedly sold to Tarquinius Superbus, the last king of Rome, the original Sibylline books.
Hellespontine Sibyl – or the Trojan sibyl presided over the Apollonian oracle at Dardania. The sibylline collection at Gergis was attributed to the Hellespontine Sibyl and was preserved in the temple of Apollo at Gergis. Thence it passed to Erythrae, where it became famous.
Phrygian Sibyl – The Phrygian Sibyl appears to be a doublet of the Hellespontine Sibyl.
Tiburtine Sibyl – To the classical sibyls of the Greeks, the Romans added a tenth, the Tiburtine Sibyl, whose seat was the ancient Etruscan town of Tibur. An apocalyptic pseudo-prophecy exists, attributed to the Tiburtine Sibyl, written c. 380 CE, but with revisions and interpolations added at later dates. It purports to prophesy the advent of a final Emperor named Constans, vanquishing the foes of Christianity, bringing about a period of great wealth and peace, ending paganism and converting the Jews. After vanquishing Gog and Magog, the Emperor is said to resign his crown to God. This would give way to the Antichrist. Ippolito d’Este rebuilt the Villa d’Este at Tibur, the modern Tivoli, from 1550 onward, and commissioned elaborate fresco murals in the Villa that celebrate the Tiburtine Sibyl, as prophesying the birth of Christ to the classical world.
As Christianity gained in strength, the purpose of the Sibyls shifted. Many of them were withered martyred or went into hiding. It is believed that the Dogon Tribe and Pygmie Tribes, the oldest tribes of matriarch order, still old the truths and wisdom, along with prophesies of The Sybils. These mystic women origins and stories are growing in resonance as more women Strengthen their spiritual gifts and foresight.
February 1st is the Start of Black History and what a wonderful way to commemorate by Honoring The Goddess Brigid on her Feast Day of Imoblc.
February 1st is the Irish tradition in both religious and mythological remembrance of Goddess Brigid by the pagans and St. Brigid by religious tradition. This Feast day is known as Imbolc which is in honor of Brigid, the Goddess of Muur Celts, who was later to be bestowed as a Saint by the Catholic Church. She is attributed as the elevated or exalted one. She in her ancient representation is that of a Black Woman or Moorish Celtic
In mythological texts, Goddess Brigid is the keeper of the eternal flame, which represents the essence of an inner dawn. She is the halfway of light and darkness. This is why her feast day is half way between winter and spring solstices.
It is said in ancient texts that at the moment between dusk and daybreak, Brigid arose into the sky with flames like rays of the sun blazing in her hair.
In Ireland, you can find a shrine near Kildare that is sacred to the druids for it is believed to have been the a place where Brigid’s priestesses tended to her eternal flame. The Priestesses were taught the healing properties of ancient practices that associate to Brigid. She is the keeper of all things sacred, elevated wisdom, and higher states of consciousness.
In 480 CE, Saint Brigid, who is believed to be the human incarnate of the Goddess, built a monastery in honor of her and consecrated it as a center of women’s religious learning and spiritual instruction to elevated consciousness. Saint Brigid is credited with organizing communal religious rites for women and later revered for founding the development of religious learning into a cathedral city.
Her message, whether as the Goddess or Saint, is to remind us to reconnect to our inner fire where our soul yearns to sprout forth. She reminds us to create sacred space within our home and bodies that allows full soul presence.
Brigid reminds us that there are always bridges between darkness and light; and that we are never alone in our journey of soul maturation. With each dark time comes dawn, reminding us that our light never leaves us and with each new day is bound to be brighter and fuller because we traveled through.

Currently we are witnessing the rise of femininity centric content. While I am pleased that women are coming together for connection and wisdom, unfortunately there is an overwhelming majority of this movement that has its base in women communing simply for the gaining “wisdom” on how to attract and attain a male favor through manipulating and presenting a false identity to “bag” him. There is an array of content that attempts to relay to women how she should look, Talk, and behave so that she would be chosen by a male sponsor or lover. Majority of this rhetoric centers women to attach their identity with each other through the male’s erotic or fantasy ideals of women. It is a sisterhood through the son/male rather than the sister/womanhood that premeditates pop culture and social media.
The problem with this narrative that women are being sold implies that women have no agency outside of men. And that our womanhood journey is solely for or centers around the male. To learn more about my “theory” watch my video on Patriarchal deception through the Triple Goddess here.
While I appreciate the company of a man, I did not want him to be the focal point of my connection with women, or a sisterhood. This led me to begin a search, first with myself and my womanhood journey, then that of my sisters. I found that women need women. We need true deep emotional connection, intimacy with one another. Studies shown that women who have a strong, supportive circle of friends had a much greater chance I’d survival than women who are socially isolated.
This is why I am called to build community of sisters. Women who are women-centered. A supportive collective of like minded sisters who are being seen, heard, and understood A sacred space to rediscover sisterhood and healing the sister wound. By establishing sister hood we are not just inspired to take action in our personal lives, but also empowered to stand in our truths and power. Sisterhood is where we strip ourselves from competition and fear, it’s where we find true connectivity, compassion, and transparency. We can retreat from the demand of life and the world and commune together in sacred space that shares similar values, uplifts, and allow you to be fully in your power unabashed.
Perhaps deep within, you know you are one of these women, yet you are paralyzed by fear of judgement, uncertainty of the unknown, or even failure. You have carried yourself this far, yet now your soul is yearning for something with more depth to remind you that you are not in isolation or alone. Join our sacred sisterhood Devine Tribe and experience first hand the courage it takes to step up and claim your personal power and awaken feminine support.
You are ready to release the stories of not being enough, you are ready to embrace the fullness of who you truly are in an environment that is nourishing, passionate, and purposeful. Then this space is for you! Join the Sisterhood today!
If you are ready to step into a magical and sacred space with other women then I invite you to join myself and other sisters Sunday, 11/ 29/2020 for the First day of The Emergence.
We are gathering in unity to develop our spiritual practice, attune our personal cycles, enhance our intuition, and connect in wholly Union with like minded sisters.
This is why The Emergence was born: to answer the need for sacred ceremony, ancient wisdom, and sisterhood for our personal and planetary evolution.

Developing a sense of agency is vital for finding emotional , mental, spiritual, and physical balance, thinking more clearly and advocating for yourself. My experiences has to taught and shown me the importance of this and I wish to share how I DID NOT have agency, to developing my own sense of agency.
To begin, having agency is your ownership of your own power and your ability to affect/create your future. It’s your ability to pilot your life.
I grew up in a very strict military, religious, and southern home. The old tale of children should be seen and not heard was the reigning value that my father held. In addition, I was raised or better yet talked down to by my “authority” that it is better to obey and if you do what you are told (obedience) then you will be rewarded with love, sustenance, and/or avoid being punished. Unfortunately there was nothing I could do or not do that was “good” enough to deserve provision or reward. I did not realize how that programming bled over into other areas of my life besides my desire to please and be loved by my parents, particularly my father. I adopted the notion that someone else was always in control of me and that I had no power to change or take ownership of myself. It wasn’t until I got married, had my second child, and entered my Saturn return that I started to see how my faulty belief system had hijacked my life, my creativity, and my power over myself. I have it all up to other people to decide what they felt was best for me, mainly out of what was best for their selves. I do not fault anyone who does and creates circumstances that is best for themself, in fact I encourage you to do the same. The problem was more so myself and not any one person, organization, or group; it was ALL me. I had to make the change in order to be for me what everyone was being for themselves, and that was having agency.
Below I share just the four principles that assisted me in developing and maintaining my agency.
Intentions- this will always be number One! Setting an intent that you are committed to take action to change your circumstances, environment to change your life. It starts with your heart. Being true to what you want even when you do not have the words or idea of how to create it. This is where the mind can now play. When the mind attunes with the heart, the mind will make the shift because you have set a clear intent to be the pilot of your life, even when you don’t know HOW to do it. Just knowing you are committed will open the next step.
Self Reflection and Control your stimuli- I’m always in a state of constant self reflection (a gift and blessing 😝) because it allows me to think about and evaluate my own motives, values and my life goals. This step is important because it allows you to address any conflicts in your motivations and choose acts and actions that are in favor with your values, goals, and motivations. This can come through journaling…I like making lists, or through quiet time alone…I typically like to record myself as I talk out my thoughts; I don’t always replay them because I’m quite judgmental but for the right reasons LOL. I have realized that when do listen to my old recordings I always gain new insights. This is a time to manage beliefs, emotions, discover new ideas, and enhance intuition.
Education- This step is typically overlooked because we may think that only formal schooling is “education”. I would argue that any intent and act you take to learn something new is education. I love resource books, interviews, and documentaries. I’m a natural librarian (Libra/Aries) and love to study people, philosophy, and spiritual development. Sometimes it’s best to start with someone you admire or feel a sense of connection to so that you may learn about how they became who they are and how you can adapt their life lessons in your own life. My two favorite people thus far I have studied were Dolly Parton and Coco Chanel.
Forethought and Strategy- NOW I BELEIVE THIS IS THE MOST SKIPPED STEP… but the most important as well. This is where you have to start figuring out the best way for you to get what and where you want to be. This step takes courage. The type of courage that Noah has whole building an Ark or like Daniel has when thrown into the Lions Den or like the Lion of The Wizard of Oz who helped save his friends when they were derailed and attacked. Courage is NOT the absence of Fear, in fact fear just may be necessary “block” that you are to go through to get what you KNOW you deserve. This is the phase of getting active mentally and physically, as well as spiritually.
Having agency is taking responsibility for YOUR life. It is the road least travelled because he requires discipline, paying attention, flexibility, and compassion for self and to self. As we practice agency, we will find that we have more influence not just over our own lives, but also in the lives of others. 😊💫
When comes to a spiritual journey, wisdom and knowledge is imperative in order to not be led astray. All leaders and guidance counselors should lead you back to you. What I have noticed within the spiritual or “new age” communities is the rise of “healers and teachers” converting back to religion or some form of monotheistic spiritual practice. While I have no issue with how one chooses to life out their path; I do take issue with how some come out as teachers or prophets of a spiritual system they have limited or no experience with.

Just like many women, I had been conditioned to not know my feminine power. It was bottled up and served to me as the “perfect, obedient daughter, then as either the “we don’t love these thots/whores/sluts” or the “virginal ever-giving wife/mother” and then to matriculate as the “unacknowledged bitter old lady or ever-
