Dark feminine energy is a term that has been created to describe a woman’s powerful nature. There may be something inherently intimidating about her, as she is alluring, strong, perplexing, and domineering at times.

She is not all about love, light, and lollipops, but rather she embodies the devouring energy of darkness, death, destruction, rebirth, and the mystery of the shadow.

Dark feminine energy is often feared or confounded, and can also be very seductive and captivating. Those who do not know or understand both sides of the complementary and contradictory aspects of Goddesses, mistake dark feminine energy for evil and even masculine energy.

Dark goddesses and dark femininity are modern concepts. Our ancient ancestors understood that dark goddesses could be all things without the idealization of love and light. They wanted the “dark” goddesses like Sekhmet, Kali, or Oya on their side when they needed to win the war, revolutionize change, and protect themselves, the children, and their homes from evil and danger.
