Age of the Goddess

WE ARE DESCENDENTS OF THE GODDESS, THE DIVINE FEMININE ENERGY OF EARTH.
WITHOUT THE POWER OF WOMAN, THERE WOULD BE NO LIFE ON THIS PLANET.

She was celebrated in ancient times as a bringer of life, a deity of love, passion, and power.
The Goddess encompasses a respect for nature, uninhibited sexual power, and reason.
As a powerful natural force, the Goddess arrives in many forms:

She could be a lover, a healer, a warrior, or a destroyer.

THEN, AS FALSE RELIGIONS ARRIVED ON EARTH, THE LEGACY OF THE GODDESS WAS SLANDERED.
LONG-STANDING IDEAS OF FEMININE POWER WERE MUDDLED AND ALMOST REPLACED.

With the introduction of the Bible, what was once viewed as a natural woman became something sinister.

Women were forcibly given a new idol to emulate: a miraculous "virgin" who did no wrong.
The women of earth were brainwashed by this new wave of Christianity, and traditional
worship of the Earth goddesses was soon considered blasphemous.

Over the years, the idea of a true woman was mutated from a once strong, independent individual,
to a man's companion and a voiceless, sexless follower whose only purpose was to give birth and obey.

I AM KRISTINA KALI, AND I'M HERE TO TELL THE WORLD THAT TIMES ARE CHANGING.
WOMEN ARE NOT HERE TO PLAY NICE OR TO BE LITTLE PETS FOR THE RELIGIOUS BIGOTS.
OUR POWER HAS BEEN EVIDENT SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME, AND WE INTEND TO EXPRESS IT.

THE POWER OF NATURE, THE RAW POWER OF A WOMAN CANNOT BE TAMED OR DEFINED
BY A FALSE RELIGIOUS BOOK, OR BY FUCKED-UP POLITICIANS WITH SEXIST AGENDAS.

WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE REALIZING THEIR TRUE POWER,
AND ARE TRASHING THE IDEAS THAT SOCIETY HAS RIDDLED THEM WITH.

FEMININITY WAS UNCENSORED IN THE ANCIENT WORLD, AND WE ARE RETURNING TO THIS NORM.
PEOPLE OF EARLY SOCIETIES DEPICTED WOMEN IN THEIR NATURAL FORM WITH NO SHAME.

FAUX RELIGIONS DESTROYED MASS AMOUNTS OF ARTISTIC EVIDENCE,
BUT WOMEN OF THE MODERN WORLD ARE ESTABLISHING THEMSELVES
OF LIVING EXTENSIONS OF THE RAW POWER OF THE GODDESS.

I, FOR ONE, AM AN EXAMPLE OF NATURE'S TRUE POWER.
I AM A GODDESS ABLE TO TAKE ON MANY FORMS, JUST AS THE ANCIENT ONES DID.

THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE LIKE MYSELF WHO WILL RIP SEXIST VIEWS TO SHREDS,
AND WE WILL OBLITERATE ANY WHO STAND IN THE WAY OF POSITIVE PROGRESS.

THIS IS WHAT WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO BE:
EXEMPLARY CHRISTIANS, AND NOTHING MORE.

WHILE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A RELIGIOUS WOMAN,
THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE ALL DESTINED TO BE AND WE WILL NO LONGER BE
ATTACKED FOR BEING INDIVIDUALS WITH OPEN MINDS.

THROUGH MODERN ARTS INCLUDING MUSIC AND PHOTOGRAPHY,
WE ARE SEEING A WAVE OF WOMEN WHO ENCOMPASS THE SPIRIT OF THE GODDESS
AND WHO WILL SHATTER SOCIETY'S GUIDELINES FOR WHAT A WOMAN SHOULD BE.

THE WOMAN PICTURED ABOVE IS A NIGHTMARE FOR THE CHURCH,
BUT A BEACON OF TRUTH FOR THE BUDDING AGE OF THE GODDESS:
A STRONG-MINDED, TALENTED FEMALE VOICE UNINHIBITED BY SOCIETY'S RULES.

MORE WOMEN ARE TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO BREAK THE CHAINS OF MISOGYNIST RELIGIONS
AND UTILIZING THEIR POWER TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO A CLOSE-MINDED WORLD.

THROUGH CHANNELS OF METAL AND ROCK MUSIC, WOMEN ARE BREAKING INTO A
ONCE MALE-DOMINATED INDUSTRY AND MAKING THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN AND FEARED.

LIKE TRUE GODDESSES, THESE MUSICIANS UTILIZE THEIR NATURAL-GIVEN TALENTS
TO VOICE OPINIONS OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS AND TO CHALLENGE STEREOTYPICAL
IDEAS OF FEMALE ROLES AND CONVENTIONAL BEAUTY.

JUST AS KALI, HINDU GODDESS OF DESTRUCTION, TODAY'S WOMEN
SPARE NO MERCY FOR ANY WHO STAND IN THE WAY OF THEIR TRUE DESTINY.

NATURE IS OUR ULTIMATE SOURCE OF POWER AND WE WILL NOT BE SWAYED
BY FALSE RELIGIONS, CONTROLLING POLITICIANS OR SOCIAL STIGMA.

WE HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE AND TO DESTROY, SO WATCH YOURSELF.

IN THIS AGE OF CHANGE AND REBIRTH, WE ARE NOT ASHAMED TO INDULGE IN THE PASSION
THAT NATURE HAS ALLOWED US TO EXPERIENCE.

WOMEN ARE EMBRACING THEIR SEXUAL PROWESS, AND TURNING A DEAF EAR TO
THE SLANDER OF THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE SO "HOLY" AND CHASTE.

GAY MEN AND LESBIAN WOMEN ARE ALSO FEELING THE CHARGE OF THE GODDESS' ENERGY
IN TODAY'S WORLD, EMBRACING THEIR SEXUALITY WITHOUT FEAR OF JUDGMENT
FROM A DEFUNCT CHURCH OR A SET OF PRUDENT POLITICIANS.

NATURE DEFINES US, NOT A BOOK.

THOUGH MUCH OF OUR NATURAL POWER HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN THE DARK BY SOCIETY,
THE YEARS OF OPPRESSION HAVE ENDED WITH THIS NEW AGE.

THE GODDESS IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND ALL- - NOT JUST WOMEN - - WILL FEEL THE POWER.

THOUGH INITIALLY WE WILL TRAVEL THROUGH DARKNESS, THE POWER OF THE GODDESS WILL LEAD US TO A BRIGHT FUTURE
BUILT UPON TRUTH, CONSCIOUSNESS, AND THE VALUES OF NATURE.
