Dark feminine energy is a term used to describe the "shadow side" of divine feminine energy, which represents the fiery, transformational side of femininity that fuels the death and rebirth cycles. It is a movement that encourages women to question the bounds of conventional femininity and reclaim their power. The dark feminine is not necessarily the "naughty" or "negative" aspect of femininity, nor is it always the embodiment of the Whore. It is the expression of the dark, positive, and necessary energy that captures the mysteries of womanhood and magic, the chaos of creation and destruction, death and birth, transformation, rage, fierce compassion, seduction, and pure spiritual ecstasy.
Traits associated with dark feminine energy include being dominant, assertive, and taking control in the boardroom, but doing so in a sultry, feminine way. It also involves reclaiming the same tricks and tropes that have been employed by men for years to keep women guessing, drawing boundaries, refusing to over-explain emotions, and communicating needs assertively. Dark feminine energy is everywhere in nature, including the earth beneath our feet, where death, decay, and rebirth are in a constant state of flux.
It is important to note that the dark feminine is not a separate entity, but an integral part of the whole. It is not a negation of the light, but a necessary complement that adds depth and complexity to the light. While it can be a powerful force for women to tap into, it is important to harness it in a healthy way and avoid being controlled by it.
