Shakira's Gnostic Feminism

In the coming months Shakira will release the music video for her current single "She Wolf".

The clip above is a 20 second preview of the music video. In the clip we see Shakira caged and wearing a leotard. The song will be featured on her upcoming album Loba. The title of the album was inspired by a 1965 Mexican horror film about a female werewolf titled La Loba. In a recent interview Shakira explained the themes featured on the album.

"Loba has been the reflection of my own individual freedom,as a 32 year old woman that feels it has the right to defend her desires. Loba is also a man of that kind and also the gays, is the human being who has its right to defend what it wants." - Shakira

This explanation reminds me of Shakira's previous album Oral Fixation.


In explaining the title and cover art for Oral Fixation Shakira revealed that "Vol. 2 is more of a Jungian sort of thing, since the reference is to a universal archetype of Eve (Adam and Eve) and the original sin. I think that is something that is really subconsciously in our minds. On the cover of Vol. 2 I wanted to add another reason for Eve to bite the forbidden fruit - that would be her oral fixation."

Jungian psychology places an emphasis on exploring the psyche through dreams, art, mythology, religion, and philosophy. His ideas include the concept of psychological archetypes. For the cover of Oral Fixation Shakira uses the Adam and Eve scenario and the forbidden fruit as an archetype.

Shakira positioning herself in the role of Eve and a werewolf and changing the perception of these archetypes from wrong doers to icons of freedom of expression raises question about Shakira and her agenda.

Shakira's interpretation of Eve's story is more along the lines of the Gnostic philosophy than it is with the traditional Christian version of the story (yes, I am aware that Gnosticism predates Christianity and I'm not choosing sides here). While Christians believe that it was a sin for Eve to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Gnostics believe that the serpent took Adam and Eve out of the tyrannical constraints of an overbearing God they refer to as the demiurge. Gnostics often refer to God as Godhead which basically means God is not a separate entity to them but rather a spiritual ascension to be obtained through self. The debate over which version came first is far too complicated for me to address in this little blog but it's worth exploring on your own time.

Shakira's biggest hit from Oral Fixation was "Hips Don't Lie" featuring Wyclef Jean. The music video for "Hips Don't Lie" features many of the themes that I've already been exploring on this blog.

First of all the song it self has the theme of dancing which is becoming so obvious. Clearly these songs are not just about dancing. Why would Shakira use symbolism so heavy on the cover of her album if the songs were simply about dropping it like it's hot in the club? Also there is the theme of duality heightened by the presence of the male, Wyclef, and the female, Shakira. This is yet another example of the fusion of male and feminine energy. Notice the use of the word "perfection" which I will get into with Shakira's song "Pure Intuition".

"Why the CIA wanna watch us?"

They sing "no fighting" as Shakira balances out the energy at the end.
Reminds me of this...

No fighting...

Another song and video worth noting is "Pure Intuition".

Let us be wrong and let's begin
A mistake that turns into perfection
I want to see you sliding in
my underworld

This time I plan to let you win
I'll be a victim of my own invention
Let us be wrong and let's begin
Once and for all

What heaven weaves and braids
no man shall undo
I've been custom-made for no one but you
You know it's now or never

I have a feeling inside
( Despacio, despacio, comienzas a caer )
And intuition's always been a woman's guide
( Te siento, te siento, desde antes de nacer )
We've been wanting each other since before we were born
( Adentro, adentro te vas quedando )
And I will love you even after I am gone
(Asi, estoy dispuesta a todo amor)


This time I plan to let you win
I'll be here in false/full subordination
I'll be devoted to your will
Once and for all

Love is only pain disguised as a kiss
So make me feel it now
Let's get on with this
and the sooner the better

I have a feeling inside
( Despacio, despacio, comienzas a caer )
And intuition's always been a woman's guide
( Te siento, te siento, desde antes de nacer )
We've been wanting each other since before we were born
( Adentro, adentro te vas quedando )
And I will love you even after I am gone
(Asi, estoy dispuesta a todo amor)

I have a feeling inside
( Despacio, despacio, comienzas a caer )
And intuition's always been a woman's guide
( Te siento, te siento, desde antes de nacer )
We've been wanting each other since before we were born
( Adentro, adentro te vas quedando )
And I will love you even after I am gone
after I am gone...

Shakira's subversive deconstruction of Christianity sheds light on her role in what many consider to be Illuminati organizations. First of all Shakira is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Shakira was also honored at a United Nations ceremony. Besides that Shakira has performed at Live Earth and is involved with Clinton Global Initiative. The stated mission of rhe CGI is to "strengthen the capacity of people throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence." So basically he is preparing people for the NWO.
