“The Truth is Erotic.” - Ginny Muir

As much as we crave connection, I can assure you as a guide to the realms of intimacy it is awkward and full of tears and snots too.

Are you also wondering how to relate to men (forever) but now more than ever in ways that feel nurturing and soul enriching? Yeah, us too.

Across cultures, women’s and folks with vulvas bodies have been shaped by systems that regulate sexuality, emotional expression, and spiritual authority. But as devotees to the Shameless Goddess, we know we are here for something more.

Join Ginny Muir and I in this episode of Mother of the Sword to explore the themes of intimacy, right relationship and how to get what we fucking want and deserve, when it comes to loving. Ginny has a program for all lovers if your wanting support in partnership get over here.

Tomorrow Thursday April 2nd holds the full moon in the Indian mystical traditions called Hanuman Jayanti. Hanuman is the blessed lord of devotion, and my Dark Mother initiation is connected to his Mother and her temples on Anjaneri Hill in India. More on that some other time.

Today’s episode and writing is a big dose of devotion today, after a much needed break for me. Have a read and then listen to our interview on a walk to move some energy relationally.

Religious doctrine, colonial morality, and patriarchal medical frameworks have historically positioned female erotic intelligence as something to be controlled, silenced, or pathologized. One result of this long history is the pervasive presence of shame within the body, particularly within the pelvis, where sexuality, instinct, and creativity converge.

Intimacy, for some of us, was never meant to be casual terrain. It was always going to be an underworld journey. Especially those of us on the Rose path, reclaiming a God that has a vagina and a more embodied sense of Spirituality and a life devoted to being of service to feeling more, not less.

Ty to Audre Lorde for her immense contribution on the subject of the erotic and to Jeff from Cosmic Cousins for editing the pod go check out their astrology offerings!
