ILU BINRIN- The Town of Women

If we accept the oral history of our ancestors as fact there was once a place where women did not have to live in fear
There was once a space in time in which women took full responsiblity for their own lives and their own choices
In this space and place women did not allow others to control them, define them or catergorize them
In this place and space women did not compete with one another for the favor of men but instead united and used their collective magick to create
Beauty
Peace
Harmony
and
Absolute Divine Power
Here women did not hide themselves for fear of intimidating men
Here women did not censor themselves to protect men's egos
Here women did not cover their juicy parts so as not to be too provocative
Women in that time were deliberately provocative
Women in that time were adroit seductresses
They were attractive on purpose
And therefore they drew what they needed to themselves and repelled that which was destructive
According to the oral records of our ancestors, the women of this time and space were so powerful that even the deities ( called Orisha by our ancestors) were unable to control them, oppress them or punish them
The one orisha who garnered the respect of women in that time was....
The Munificent Mother, the Source, the Bringer of Love, Beauty and Harmony to the Physical Realm...
The One we call Yeye "Sweet Mother"
Oshun
The time in which this occurred was called the Time Before Time by our ancestors, or the Land of Beginnings
and the place was Ilu Binrin
