📜 The King James Bible: A Tool for Power, Not Liberation

Let’s tell the truth.

The King James Version of the Bible is not the pure, untouchable word of God that many believe it to be. It’s a state-sanctioned translation commissioned by a monarch with a personal agenda—and that agenda came at a great cost, especially to women.

King James I wasn’t just a ruler. He was a man gripped by fear, superstition, and a desperate need to control. Known for his obsession with demonology and his paranoia around “witches,” he authored Daemonologie in 1597, a text that didn’t just feed the flames of fear—it poured gasoline on them. This work wasn’t fiction. It became the ideological backbone for one of the most brutal and widespread witch hunts in history.

🧙🏽‍♀️ From Healers to Heretics

Before the King James version, Christianity—particularly in its early, grassroots form—wasn’t what we see today. Women were leaders. Women were prophets, healers, spiritual teachers. The Divine Feminine was honored in sacred partnership with the Divine Masculine. The teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) emphasized inner connection to the Divine, love, and self-realization—not domination and fear.

But King James wasn’t having it. His mistrust of women, his fear of their power, and his obsession with “order” led to an intentional erasure of their role in scripture. The Bible he approved was translated and edited to reflect his vision of control. Words were changed. Passages were restructured. The tone shifted. Women were reduced. Their roles were buried under layers of patriarchal narrative.

The KJV and its ripple effect didn't just shape Sunday morning sermons—it rewrote spiritual authority for generations.

🔥 The Witch Hunts Were State-Sponsored Terror

Let’s be clear: what followed wasn’t just spiritual repression. It was genocide.

Midwives, herbalists, doulas, seers, and women who simply knew too much or spoke too boldly were hunted, tortured, and burned at the stake. This wasn’t about righteousness—it was about power. The church and state were in bed together, and the womb became the battleground.

By labeling feminine wisdom as “witchcraft,” they dismantled entire systems of healing, intuition, and connection to the Earth. The message was simple: obey or die.

This fear got passed down through bloodlines. We carry it in our bones. Generational trauma is real, and it often starts right here—with centuries of spiritual suppression, cultural gaslighting, and violent erasure of feminine wisdom.

✨ Reclaiming the Inner Temple

The good news? We’re remembering.

We are in an age of mass awakening. The old systems are crumbling, and truth is bubbling to the surface. More and more people are stepping away from inherited beliefs and asking: What is real?

We’re remembering the power of our ancestors. We’re reconnecting with the sacred feminine and sacred masculine within all of us. We’re honoring intuition, ceremony, plant medicine, and Earth-based wisdom. We’re taking back the language, the ritual, the power.

The time of silence is over.

🌀 Final Reflection

If something in this post stirs something in you—it should. We didn’t come here to stay small. We came here to remember. The King James Bible may have tried to erase the sacred feminine, but we are her voice. And we’re speaking loud and clear.

Let us reclaim what was stolen—not just for ourselves, but for every generation that follows.
