the whore and the holy one

making 'sex work' sacred again. it's not about diminishing your power. it's not about shielding your sexuality. it's the aiding of creation by using the magic inherent to you. in the renaissance era, alchemists were deemed to be witches. a life-threatening accusation. we were murdered for our "secrets." it was never a secret at all. it is our nature. always has been and always will be. the most powerful goddesses were called whores. communities paid in diamonds and gold for their mere juices. the power of a woman. we look down on a mechanism that is ingrained into our essence. our energy is the exchange. its not performative. it's not facades. it's raw. sensual. enigmatic. primal. womb spaces have been corrupted by entities , siphoned and minimized to 3D establishments (physical pleasure, home and children). sex work or 'sacred prostitution' has always been a gateway to spirituality. an initiation of sorts. we are the initiation.

sometimes expansion is re-integrating old aspects of yourself. sometimes it looks like "going backwards." it's like going backwards in time in the present and rewriting the script.

i went to a magic show last night and now i truly understand the quote "lean not on your own understanding" because the mind is so fickle. so fragile. able to be deceived by its own perception.

when my tears refuse to come yet my heart pangs with melancholy...nature cries for me.

lust can be fleeting but oh so saturated

I find it fascinating how society creates all these little bargaining chips with death.

i wonder if caterpillars know they will become butterflies. or if they just listen to the cues. they don’t demonize the cocoon stage. the growing pains. nature's pressure cooker. they just know when it's time to move. when to surrender to life’s natural process of evolution.

i discovered true beauty in the perceived absence of it. like a flower prior to its bloom. or the butterfly prior to hatching. chrysalis. still in the cocoon. wrinkly. shelled. suspended in the air. it doesn’t make it any less a butterfly. it doesn't make it any less beautiful.

i kind of like when my mascara runs and gives my eyes a dark shadow

somebody said "intellectualization takes the nutrients made for growth and gives it to your ego" PRECISELY. you gotta feel your way through it. the ego can be so insidious. it lingers in the shadows until you face it. until you face everything that you've been subconsciously running from. intellectualizing it only tricks you into believing that you are growing when really you are intellectualizing a process that is supposed to be deeply intimate.

the dark feminine was never something that needed to be discovered. she was never lost or hidden. she's always been here. she shows up in the most shadowy forms because women haven't learned who she really is. women still hold shame around what they're exchanging. still hold shame around sexuality. and where shame is present, sovereignty is relinquished to something outside of you. this often causes the dark feminine to "act out" spontaneously because women haven't learned how to yield her from a place of awareness. so she's caged....only able to be unleashed by force, delusion and violence.

if the garden of eden was so perfect then why was there a snake there anyways? why was the apple even available to be eaten by adam and eve? why was temptation there? because temptation isn't evil. it's holy. desire isn't separate from god.
