When I look down at your face, My heart is filled with elated grace An eternal connection, Never to be replaced When I look down at your face, And hold you in deep embrace A feminine rite of passage our souls make Forever guided by this space, A love that can’t be displaced Totally wrapped and encased, In a mother daughter embrace A deep and tender space, A feminine bond is our base… I’m binded to you by blood, Maternal lineage in our veins And in that blood runs deep, Gender bound in chains I walk this path of subversion, Show you the strength that we bare Show you the power of that blood, Our gender is fierce yet fair Suppressed for our sexuality, Feared for sake of sin The female sexuality will help you rise, Feel its power deep within Never let anyone tell you different, Or censor your feminine force The female is the sustainer of life, We are the very source… When I look down at your face, I see me in you, I never have thought of disgrace, And I see you in me An eternal connection, Never ever can be replaced When I look down at your face, I see me in you, My heart is filled with grace, And I see you in me A feminine rite of passage is our fate When I look down at your face, I see me in you, And hold you in deep embrace, And I see you in me Forever guided by this space, A love that can’t be displaced Totally wrapped and encased, In a mother daughter embrace A deep and tender space, I see me in you, A feminine bond is our base, And I see you in me Totally wrapped and encased, In a mother daughter embrace A deep and tender space, A feminine bond is our base A deep and tender space, A feminine bond is our base… I’m binded to you by blood, Maternal lineage in our veins And in that blood runs deep, Gender bound in chains I walk this path of subversion, Show you the strength that we bare Show you the power of that blood, Our gender is fierce yet fair Suppressed for our sexuality, Feared for sake of sin The feminine sexuality will help you rise, Feel its power deep within Feminine sexuality will help you rise, Feel its power deep within The feminine.

about

Divine Affliction, experimental electronica with raw, introspective, brooding, emotive music. A musical expression of the divine feminine and the afflictions she faces. She finds strength in her vulnerability and turns her affliction into a virtue. Divine Affliction, Vol. 1 contains the lyrical versions of the songs. Divine Affliction, Vol. 2 contains the instrumental song versions.

My craft is female-centered. Worshiping the feminine, her feminine difference, her divine femininity, her feminine aesthetic. Produced from the embodied feminine and based on female stories. Some of the musical incantations convey the realities of womanhood in a patriarchal world. Challenging her afflictions of under-representation and misrepresentation, of censoring and silencing. She is defined as the alter gender and suffers suppression of her sexuality. Other songs conjure empowerment of the female from these afflictions. Honoring the feminine sexuality, the personification of the divine, the only portal from the spiritual realm to the physical. She has the power to create life, representing the cycles of nature, of birth and death. She is a mother, she is a lover, she is an artist, she is a poet, she is a creatress, she is a dreamer, she is a visionary, she is a mystic, she is a partner, she is a friend, she is a daughter, she is a bruja, she is a diversity, she is women. She has embraced her feminine intuition, reconnected with her feminine spirituality, her maternal genealogy, healing and empowering herself and others through intersectional feminism, music, and community.
