I love that Akasha continues to be portrayed by a black woman.
I have such an affinity for Divine Feminine resonance in an antique form and portrayals of it through art and theological history.
To me it feels like a deep nostalgia for a time passed spent despite my present commitment to Islam which was a natural theological progression for me. I made the choice to reintegrate and accept Islam into my life after having been born into a Muslim family. But this experience and resonance feels fairly new to me energetically and intuitively whereas the energetic experience of divine femininity seems much deeper and intuitively rooted.
There’s plenty of reverence for the divine feminine within Islam and its practice and I see Islam as a final form of monotheism and a final decree. To accept Islam is to accept that I see a new technological advancement and I’ve found a better way to worship despite what feels like my roots.
It’s like the feeling of having grown up somewhere and experiencing attachment to tradition.
(Continuing thought/edit)
It’s basically like a feeling or acknowledgment of ancestral memory. I do come from a people who were able to hold onto the last threads of matriarchal belief/worship and who are whimsical and believe in older forms of worship and theological expression.
I feel as though I’ve spent one lifetime as a Muslim, and a much older one as my genesis having understood or come from a different theological expression or way of life. Interpret that as you will (as I can take into consideration differing spiritual beliefs).
I can almost say that I am every woman. That I’ve been all the things. But, a long standing interpretation of mine (which is personal) is that a person manifests as whomever is critical for their life path. I see my own choices and commitment to tawhid as means to continuity and a firm hold on an aligned and enlightened way of life.
