Feminist Cosmogeny – The Myth of a New Beginning

Reclaiming Origins or Rewriting Truth?

Feminist cosmogeny presents itself as a liberating revision of traditional creation myths—those it calls patriarchal, oppressive, and male-centered. Yet, this narrative is not only historically and theologically inaccurate; it is a myth of its own making. What it opposes were never truly patriarchal myths, but rather gynocentric or dualist metaphysical narratives that placed the feminine at the center of the cosmic story—both as sacred source and seducing force, as divine light and fallen matter while presenting the masculine as inherently evil and flawed.

In Gnostic, Kabbalistic, and other esoteric systems, the feminine principle—Sophia, Shekhinah, the Womb, the Matrix—was not marginalized. She was the axis of divine tragedy and redemption while the masculine was it source and reason. In fact, these myths often exhibit a primordial misandry, portraying the masculine as chaotic, fallen, or enslaving matter, while the feminine is split between transcendent spirit and the temptation of incarnation.

Feminist cosmogeny, in its modern ideological form, flattens this metaphysical complexity. Instead of recovering the original archetypes of the Sacred Feminine—both pure and impure, creative and fallen—it identifies femininity entirely with matter, body, and power. The divine is no longer transcendent but immanentized into flesh, sex, and identity. Spirit is collapsed into soma.

This represents not a progression but an inversion—what we might call a heresy of a heresy. The ancient heresies (Gnosticism, Manichaeanism, Bogomilism, etc.) already reimagined cosmic origins in dualistic or subversive terms, often challenging orthodox theology. But feminist cosmogeny goes further: it denies the vertical metaphysical structure entirely, erasing transcendence and installing gender ideology, desire, and historical grievance as the new sacred order.

From Light to Flesh: The Tragic Reversal

In these modern myths, creation is not the emanation of divine light into being, or the exile of spirit into matter—it is the glorification of embodiment, of identity, and of material liberation. The sacred feminine is no longer Shekhinah self - exiled to be with her dispersed children and awaiting salvation and reunification with the divine; she is the goddess of indulgence, hedonism, and power, celebrated not for her inner light but for her outer form.

Thus, the feminist cosmogeny becomes a tragic reversal of sacred gnosis. Rather than freeing the divine spark from the husk (Kelipah in Kabbalah), it worships the husk and calls it divine. The womb is no longer the site of mystical genesis, but the battlefield of political identity. Sexuality is no longer the veil to be pierced on the path to unity, but the very substance of "material enlightenment"

Cosmic Reengineering as Ideological Narcissism

By removing transcendence and spiritual telos, feminist cosmogeny entraps itself in the very materiality that ancient myths warned against. It no longer aims to rise above the flesh, but to reengineer cosmology through the lens of power, resentment, and self-worship. Instead of Sophia falling in sorrow, we have the goddess rising in pride. Instead of the Shekhinah mourning in exile with her children, we have the "liberated" woman demanding her throne in the marketplace of flesh.

But what masquerades as empowerment is a metaphysical regression. The sacred is inverted, not resurrected. The light is not retrieved from matter—it is confused with it. Feminism claims to reimagine cosmic origins, but in truth it severs the cosmos from the divine and leaves only fragmented narratives of power, matter, flesh and hedonism.
