The Gospel of Jezebel

This episode dives into my recent post THE GOSPEL OF JEZEBEL and how dangerous beauty has been demonized throughout history in many mythologies and religious texts. Jezebel was not a harlot, an idolater, a cautionary tale—but a sovereign queen whose power threatened the patriarchal order. We explore how her story was weaponized to silence true beauty and how reclaiming her and many others  is part of restoring our sacred right to sovereignty, desire, and voice.

Themes We Explore

• The biblical and patriarchal propaganda machine: how white supremacist writers rewrote Jezebel, Aïcha,, Medusa and The Siren's story to demonize rebellious noncompliant sovereignty. 
• Jezebel as archetype: the sovereign woman who refuses to bow, and the cost of standing in defiance.
• Why the terms "ugly" and "beautiful" are not true. 
• The weaponization of shame and beauty: how narratives of “whore” and “idolater” still echo in purity culture, media, and modern misogyny.
• Reclaiming Jezebel, Aïcha, Medusa and The Sirens: what it means to embrace them as patroness' of outlawed beauty in all of us. 
• The broader lineage: how listening to your own siren song holds the code of rebellion, sovereignty and TRUE beauty

Why This Matters
Reclaiming Jezebel, Aïcha, Medusa and The Sirens is not about sanitizing their story but about cutting through centuries of distortion. In doing so, we name the truth: that the sovereign, beautiful, and sensual have always been outlawed—and that to embrace them today is a heretical act of liberation.
