OLD WISE WOMAN

Flakitah Obey

WORDS OF A GRANDFATHER:

The pretense of sensual excellence, or poses suggesting understanding of the ultimate lover pales against the truth, the ardor of a mature and seasoned woman who has found her way, and is within herself a mystery, who is the initiatory steps, and process towards Womanhood and knows the value of gaining the ‘right’ Knowledge that leads a young woman towards the wisdoms that separate the mundane from the Divine, the profane from the Sacred.

Young women’s awkward steps into sexual experiences are clumsy, at best. In high heels, or barefoot they don’t and cannot know where to place their trust, or how to identify the love they need, or correctly discern the guidance that comes their way. Young untutored women’s unlearned spirits, undeveloped minds, and their awkward steps into the ancient spiritual sciences, and into the ancient art of seduction, and expansion of the soul, which a woman has the power and capacity to do for a man, is marked by their immature responses. They have no teachers. The Old Wise Women are not in their lives to protect their virginity, and teach them about the sanctity of their Wombs. Without the Elders, the Old Wise Women teaching, and guiding girls-to-Womanhood there is no voice telling them, "Scent marks a woman-child for extinction by the Predator forever on the prowl for weakness, blame and self-deception." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories  (January 2013)
