The interview brings us closer to understanding a spirituality that honors femininity as sacred and mysterious. Maman Fiokpo embodies an ideal of balance, purity, and inner power, and her cult offers a vision of femininity that transcends traditional social roles, instead rooting itself in a cosmic and divine order, where every woman is perceived as a manifestation of the sacred. In this conception, one can trace, though with all the necessary cultural distances and proportions, an echo of the poetic tradition of the Dolce Stilnovo in 13th-century Italian literature, particularly in Dante’s works, where the figure of the woman becomes a symbol of a transcendent and almost divine ideal, blending with spirituality and the sense of the universe.
