Twigs, in much of her work, appears as many manifestations of the Divine Feminine, in all Her benevolent, alluring, and cruel forms. She appears in M3li55x most strongly as the Mother Empress and the Triplicate of Aje Pupa, Aje Dudu, and Aje Efun, Red, Black, and White Iyaami Archetypes, also known as the sanitized “Triple Goddess” or, whitewashed as the Wiccan “MotherMaidenCrone”

The Triple Goddess throws on one of her Robes, like Santisima Muerte of the Red, White, and Black, to depict or portray whichever guise She pleases as necessary to guide and teach the Spiritual Supplicant; as the Red Goddess, She often teaches of bravery, courage in self-confrontation, the Will to Live, the fuel of aggression and rage, transmuting pain and anger into Divine Action, igniting Change and Creativity through Sensuality and Sexuality, all things and lessons in the realm of the Red Goddess or Red Queen Archetype, as we tentatively conceptualize it in Unverified Personal Gnosis.

The Mothers, Like Oshun, rule over the Women’s Mysteries of Blood and Birth, the processes of orgasm and conception, and even digestion and consumption (of the lungs).

The Moment the Goddess Descends into her body #possession as she is mounted in the Channeling, like the caboclo or the “horse” in African traditions, “ridden” by ancestral spirits and dieites who speak and act out blessing or warning and bring transformation through the body of the willing Vessel
