Ezili The Fragile of Dahaome
Many wanna claim Ezili and her Freda path are white mulatto light skinned or fair skinned lwas... none of which are true.... this is my Ezili of Dahaome...an irresistible image of the exotic and erotic Vodun princess of Sensuality and Youthful Femininity...
The rarely understood truth of Ezili - Freda of Dahaome is that she has always been and always will be a Vodun Lwa, meaning she is triple black like the rest that ascend to that divine position in the Vodun Pantheon. Her origins are not of a white, caucasian or mulatto genetic, but of West Indies-Africa, distinctly know for its NEGROID phenotype that has been disgraced by White Supremacy but honored by those with knowledge of Dominant Genetics and Traits. Since Vodun is only accessible by Blacks with a genetic bloodline connection to The Immortals (egungun) and The Orisa (forces of nature) and The Lwa (mysteries of The Orisa), it is nearly impossible for our Triple Godis of Vodu, Ezili, to have any origins with Crakkkas or recessive genetics alike.
The arcane mystery eye would like to reveal here is the reason Ezili Freda is considered lazy and doesnt like to touch the ground, has immense psychic ability and is the Lady of Sorrows, Tears and Depression...
While the name Freda is associate with Ezili it is more a verbal reference to her FRAGILITY, thus she has informed me this supposed Freda path is moor accurately entitled Ezili The Fragile, as opposed to Erzulie Freda- which in new age popularity connotes a FALSE Lwa of white femininty and recessive genetics.
Ezili The Fragile is a reference to the fragility she experienced when transforming from LaSirene to Ezili the Mistress of Agwe, Dambala, Ogun and also Legba and Gede. The painfulness of her fish tail becoming hueman female extremeties is why she is considered Freda or FRAGILE, as well as the youthful demeanor many of her paths carries, she is like a baby or more accurately a Lolita, youthful female with nymp like sexuality far before her prime or puberty. Furthermore, the heartache she experienced when Agwe didnt marry her and propelled her into a hueman female life of romantic exploration that often lead to heartach, depression and emotional uproar, among other sensualities and pleasures of the flesh that she rules. Her emotions are fragile as much as they are intense and sensual, in this Freda path which is directly related to LaSirene as opposed to more elder paths of her like Brijit or Mapyang. Ezili The Fragile is LaSirene who maintains the virgin freshness and innocence that she brought to hueman Femininity upon her Transformation.
To debunk the common myths lets start with the misconceptions of what Ezili is and represents. Freda is a Norse deity of another pantheon, and is related to the Underworld the way Ezili is related to The Barons and Black Crafts. The name Ezili Freda may have well come before the Norse Freda, as the Lwa Ezili certainly does, but because of such disrespetful new age syncrinizing of Ezili with White femininity it is much safer for an initiate or daughter of her to refer to this primary path of Ezili as: Zili, Ezili of Dahaome or Ezili The Fragile.
False New Age information often attributes traits of white recessive femininity to Ezili in efforts to support the false identity of a Mulatto Lwa and to further drive a wedge between White Femininity and Black Femininity by propogating Ezili Freda and Ezili Danto as fierce rivals instead of Sisters of similar yolk. In actuality, traits of Jealousy, Laziness, Royal Eiltism, Light Skin, Sexual Promiscuity, and Glamour are directly related to caucasian recessive femininity that is in AmeriKKKan culture very Insecure, Immoral and Racist, as well as in dire need of Cosmetic and Adornments to imitate the natural sensuality and fullness of facial featuresof a black genetically dominant female. The perpetuation of rivalry between Danto and Freda is directly related to Male Domination in modern society where pitting women against each other, often for the affections of a man, creates patriarchial chauvinism that benefits the men in the community. Pitting light skinned women against dark skinned women in efforts to Elevate the White Light skinned woman as supremely feminine, beautiful, elegant and idealistic while Demoting the Black Dark skinned woman to a femininity reserved for anger, wrath, protection and defense is the racist intention of modern New Agers and false traditions of our ancient Vodun Heritage ( false traditions like Lucumi and Palo Mayombe are infamous for their racist rheotric and conjectures toward dark black origins of the Spirits they claim, particularly the feminine Love ancestors). These false pretenses ultimately marginalize dark skinned Black women as a more masculine than feminine, as more ugly than beautiful, in the exact same way dark skinned Black women are viewed and portrayed in global pop culture in comparrisson to White women who are always portrayed as idealistic and uber femininie no matter how unnatractive and immoral they prove to be in character. It is imperative a practioner recognize the racism inherent in the myths of Ezili and of Freda vs Danto. These racist pretenses emerge from Caucasian and Spainard imperialism in Vodun traditions, from the infiltration of white supremacy into Vodun by syncrynizing of Vodun Lwa with Catholic Saints.Take responsibility for refuting these myths that are racist white supremacist propoganda directly attackting the originality and sacredness of Black women and Black femininity.
Not all information is false however, traits like youthfulness, uber-femininity and grief are accuratley attributed to Ezili The Fragile. Because Ezili is Vodun's virgin, she holds the traits of Virgin Femininity of purity, freshness, joy, readiness to experience and chastity. White is a color that Lacks and is absent of all, so white as freshness, purity and innocence can be attributed to Ezili, but not white as an ethnicity or genetic. When dealing with Congo spirits we understand they are of Black/Ancient origin, however like most deep dark water creatuers, it is known that their phenotypes tend to Glow in the Dark or have a pale compexion based on the element of dark water being their abode. Any paleness to her complexion would derive from her deep water origins of glowing skin, muh like Oshun who is no where near light skinned/mulatto but has a distinct Golden Glow to her skin that is still a mystery to Vodu. While it is true that Zili The Fragile loves her adornments and cosmetics this is more related to a young girls desire to imitate the mature femininity of her Mother (which in this case is seldom known to be Oshun herself, the mother of the Twins that are not only the Ibeji but also Ezili and TiJan, twins of Oshun and Chango) and related to her Myseries of Seduction and Youth that endows her with the Sexual powers of a Mistress, Mother and Crone alike. Ezili is far from Jealous of other women, because there is no competition once she enters any domain, however her Youtful mentality can make her jealous of the accomplishments of Mature women the way young girls hold envy of what Mature Wombmen are capable of socially and physically, but not the way other women envy one another competitively. She can be mildly jealous of ones happiness considering that she is often depressed over her past lover and her unfortunate Star-Crossed Lover's fate that follows this fragile path of Ezili. Her jealousy may only be directed at particular Lwa who are the Wives or lovers of her Lwa Misters. There is no envy in her Mysteries the way Freda is considered an envious enemy to Women, this is false considereing Ezili is one of the Most Fiercest Protectors of Women in our Pantheon and is the primary Lwa summoned to avenge a Vodun woman scorned... So lets think with Common Sense and not with White Supremacist idealogies when considering the Truth about our beloved Ezili.
Her primary Fragile path colors are Pink and Green, LaSirene Blues with Pearly hues, Pink and Black, or Red when agitated or in Petro modes. To reiterate from an earlier statement, White is associated with Ezili The Virgin because she has a youthful virgin femininity that brings freshness, innocence, purity and readiness that all virgins youthful nymphs embody. White is not to be used in Vodun unless for Death/The Dead, The Barons or Obatala.
If you are a woman who is worshipping Ezili Freda and has a caucasian recessive image of her as a saint or white woman then you are either a White Woman yourself and have No bloodline connection to the LWA Ezili and therefore are not practicing Vodun Tradition, or you are a misinformed Black Woman who is worshipping a deity of another pantheon and giving away your to black powers to White Women and White Supremacist Racism as a result of your misguided initiation and is likely taking on the recessive femininity of caucasian women to your own detriment. If Ezili Freda the Mulatto white woman is your goddess beyond all doubt then it would behoove you to immediately recognize You are NOT practicing Vodu or any Tradition of it and You are NOT worshipping the LWA Ezili but a completely different spirit that seeks to infiltrate, white wash and endanger the Sanctitiy of Vodun. Please do not associate Ezili of Dahaome with a White Lazy Jealous French Elitist Prostitute as these are insulting traits to Ezili The Fragile, LaSirene who became painfully hueman in efforts to marry Agoueh the Sailor, Pirate and MerMan.
Eye welcome all Vodun initiates who have been initated by Papa Legba himself into the Mysteries of Vodun to challenge this information in a civilized conversation with myself and others initiated by Legba, not by People...
