Black Goddess

"The age of the Mother was first of all ...
One of the great symbols which ushered in the age of the masculinist Father-Son conflict was that of Laius-Oedipus".
['The Black Goddess', P.Redgrove]

Doors singer Jim Morrison's mantra, "fcuk the mother, kill the mother", describes the triangular nature of this conflict. The Blond Beast did not annihilate the Black Goddess, he rather conqered her; out of conquest arose a New Order, an Order of Rank where Pre-aryans and Pre-aryan worship was assimilated within the Aryan Order.

The roaming Blond Beast both created culture, and was changed by his own creation. It was the Hegelian dialectic of thesis (Black Goddess), antithesis (Blond Beast), and a resultant synthesis (Aryan Aristocracy).

The soundness of this outline can be seen by the identification of the Black Goddess with Nietzsche's idea of the Slaves;
"It is among the out-castes and outsiders that the Black Goddess has lingered through recorded history".
[Redgrove, ib.,]

This is for Nietzsche a Chandala culture of the lowest and therefore darkest castes. Such dusky and musky beings became an underclass in Greek life;
"It should be recalled that the Delphine oracle which gave all that bad news to Oedipus, was pronounced by a priestess, who inhaled trance-inducing and prophetic vapours from a deep cleft in the ground ..."
[Redgrove ib.,]

This reminds me that among the Vikings, the dark-haired Finns were often cast in the role of She-Seers.
This question of Race difference cannot be divorced from Nietzsche's political outlook, particularly as the darker Races usually have a more pungent body-odour;
"The Goddess Isis was often depicted as a Sphinx, or a black woman".
[ib.,]

The stench of alien flesh is a primal discouragement to the Blood Crime of miscegenation.
The crafty Black Goddess [like the name-changing Jew] tries to change her smell to ensnare the Aryan man;
"The Black Goddess is the great pre-Oedipal Sphinx, sitting on her mountain of es. The riddle is literally under our noses ...
The non-Biblical legends say that the Queen of Sheba was black, and came from Abyssinia, 'along the road of es'...
Some say she was Lilith; she had a cloven foot and hairy legs, so was a kind of Sphinx, and posed difficult riddles to Solomon".
[ib.,]

And of course, miscegenation was the sin of Solomon, a sin jealousy guarded against by Aryan man - by using his nose!

Nietzsche was always emphasising the sense of smell, and how it should too, be employed in philosophic work.
This relates to Nietzsche's love of the Presocratics;
"Heraus says:'In Hades souls perceive by smelling', and that, 'Nature loves to hide' - this is the riddle of the Sphinx".
[ib.,]

Nietzsche sees the philosopher as a sort of Riddler [see his Thus Spake Zarathustra] - again this is a nod to the Oedipus archetype.


The Negro Woman symbolises the opposite pole to our Aryan Masculinist philosophy as found in Nietzsche.
She represents the great danger, and the great disgust ...

Redgrove allows himself to touch upon this;
"But what of blackness in its literal sense, of 'negritude'? ...
We should expect to find in negritude those qualities ... described as Romantic-Gnostic .."
['The Black Goddess', P.Redgrove]

In Romanticism and in that Platonic-Christian mysticism called Gnosticism is found the dank, dark stench of the Black Goddess; she has now become the mistress of the Aryan poet who flees to the East like Byron to write tales of the Giaour ...
Some may want to salvage the Aryan genius found in Romanticism and Gnosticism, but Nietzsche knew such things must be left alone as damaged goods. They speak both of the LOSS of Blondness, and of the decline of the Blond Beast, - not of his regeneration.

It is the Greeks who are the great example of the Aryan victory over Darkness in the philosophy of the Presocratics and in the myth of Oedipus.
