Have you ever wondered how I became a water priest

Have you ever wondered how I became a water priestess and more about what I do in that particular role? I’m so excited to share a written interview I did for @annwynavalon series 'interviews with a water priestess'.She asked some wonderful questions that I haven’t been asked before in other interviews, and so I share a few things you won’t find anywhere else. I hope it inspires you on your path!If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend checking out Annwyn's work. The water magic she does with charms and spells is very beautiful and unique. She also has two beautiful books on water magic, The Way of the Water Priestess and Water Witchcraft.You can read the interview at the link in my bio💦🧜‍♀️💕

When you make love with someone, it is not just bo

When you make love with someone, it is not just bodies that mix. It is not just flesh, and bone. Nor just DNA and ancestral waters. There is a mixing of souls. There is a communion of the unseen realms that compose you.For no one is only what can be seen. We are all great mysteries of infinite depth. When you make love with another, you have the capacity and honor to touch places no one else can.Not just in the body, but in the soul. This is why to me sex can never be casual. For causality implies that something is simple. Yet, sex is the most complex of mysteries. The potential formation of another body to house another soul.It also helps us to remember that yes, while your body does belong to “you”, you are also borrowing it from the earth for maybe 100 years if you are super healthy/blessed. Then it slips off you and decomposes to alchemize into something new.Your lovers body does the same.Your lover can never fully belong to you. Lovership is not ownership. Just as being “you” isn’t an ownership.We are all borrowing these precious bodies.Yet love, oh yes love, is the greatest of all virtues for it transcends death and the body. It is our golden key to immortality, so if you can cultivate more love and ecstasy and build great frequencies of energy, you support your beloved to be empowered beyond the body and beyond death. To live on eternally. That energy of love is not just localized to this body. The soul builds and grows through many experiences in many different dimensions. What a gift. What a joy. To live. To love. To breathe. To play. To experience the fullness of what it means to be a human.Your lovers soul and your soul may know each other again, another day, another body, another age, another stage in the great play of what it means to be human.We are love playing with itself. You can never be separate from God.No love ever is wasted. We all come home in the “end”. The spiral never loses.So the next time you make love I invite you to, pray that the orgasmic energy uplifts their soul. Focus not just on your partners body, but on the deeper unseen realms.Simple ways to do this 👇💕

It’s grand adventure time! 🥰 After almost two years of rebooking due to you know what 😉 The Azores Europe water priestess retreat is happening and there was so much interest that I’ve decided to book a second one. The new dates are October 2nd - 7th 2021.The last time I announced this retreat, it filled up within a week, so I recommend getting your application in asap if you are interested.IMAGINE THIS:🧜‍♀️ a hot spring waterfall cascades into a natural pool where your body is gently being submerged underwater. You’re learning the ancient priestess art of baptism.🧜‍♀️ The still cobalt ocean spans endlessly around you as your body helps create a sacred geometrical human water mandala with 13 other sisters. Singing bowls send angelic vibrations to your heart. You melt into love.🧜‍♀️ You’re holding a woman in a private hot spring pool, feeling the essence of the divine mother caressing you both with pure presence as you learn how to safety float another body through the water.🧜‍♀️ Every sense is adored with exquisite reverence as you lay on your back receiving handfuls of rose petals, touch, treats, essential oils and more to awaken your sensual innocence.🧜‍♀️ Amrita orgasm workshop, ecstatic dance in the pool, picnics, hikes, water scrying, water rituals and SO MUCH MORE!These are just a few of the experiences we will be sharing in the upcoming Water Priestess Retreat in São Miguel island, Azores off the coast of Portugal💎ALL DETAILS AT LINK IN BIO 💎São Miguel is referred to as the “Hawaii of Europe”. It sparkles as a vibrant emerald island gem in the Atlantic Sea. Legends say it is one of the 9 islands in The Azores which are the remains of the lost continent of Atlantis. Sometimes it can feel as if you are on the majestic beaches of Hawaii, and other times, hiking through the Irish foothills.I am beside myself with excitement to be able to travel again!

So often we ask how to keep ourselves from becomin

So often we ask how to keep ourselves from becoming pregnant. Yet, I feel an even more important question is how do we protect our sacred fertility?I have never been pregnant. I am so thankful. The excitement I have to be a mama outweighs anything else in my life, but it hasn’t yet become time.If you look at my fertility method by what I don’t do, it may seem impossible. I only took birth control for a few months when I was 16. I despise condoms. I don’t implant hormones into my arm. I don’t have copper in my yoni.I track my cycle. Simple. Easy. Effective.We are only fertile for an average of 6 days of our cycle.Most modern birth control is marketed as “freedom” for women. But it can be harmful to our hormonal cycle and long term fertility.I had a woman request I write a post on what I do for natural birth control so I felt inspired to share.However, I feel it’s also just as important to speak about the importance of protecting our fertility and building our fertility, so I’ll share about that as well.✨MY PERSONAL BIRTH CONTROL FORMULA✨🌸I personally use the Clue App on my phone to track my cycle. It is incredibly accurate.🌸I only let my partner release his seed inside me right before my moon or on the first day.🌸I know when I am ovulating based on mucus/tracking, and I’m extra careful.✨WHAT I RECOMMEND✨🌸I recommend you also check your temperature and check cervical mucus as extra precautions.🌸I highly recommend you listen to the incredible podcast my Medicine Stories, #63 with Dr. Elizabeth Wade. You will learn all about the most effective pregnancy prevention methods and dangers of hormonal birth control.🌸Don’t have sex in your fertile window or use a condom and have them pull out.It’s important to look at how we can increase our fertility! So many things in this modern world actually harm our fertility.I recommend the wonderful book ‘Awakening Fertility’ by heng ou.There are so many insightful gems but my favorite tip I got out of the book was to wear socks more and not let my feet get so cold! 😂👇CONTINUED BELOW👇

I’m 29 today! It’s so surreal to be entering t

I’m 29 today! It’s so surreal to be entering the last year of my 20’s.This has been the best birthday weekend ever! From horseback riding to a private waterfall, to friends house warming dance party, to my babe making me rose cheesecake, to a biodynamic Hawaii garden workshop, to a stack of books on tree houses, labyrinths and gardens and more to come. Truly a dream come true.What an honor to have a body and be alive at this potent time on the planet.Heaven on earth is being created. Even though we are fed stories of massive chaos and destruction there is a new world being born. A golden age is coming.The message I keep hearing is this:“Weep not only tears of grief, but also of gratitude. For every tragedy there is a triumph.”I then see a list of everything hurting humanity and the planet with a wonderful solution next to it.Although we may have gotten ourselves into a lot of messes as a humanity, I fully believe in our ability to clean them up.There are incredible miraculous technologies that are being created right now.Stay true to the highest vision for yourself and humanity.It’s important to choose the frequencies of heaven on earth inside ourselves to the best of our abilities and circumstances.Remember to ask for help! There are so many unseen helpers.Being human is about tending the tenderness.And there is a lot of tenderness to tend in these times!My birthday wish is pretty much the same every year. Heaven on earth for all life. I don’t know the timeline of how fast it will happen or if it will in my lifetime, but I’ll keep creating it in my life and serving others however I’m divinely guided.And I want to thank YOU! For being here, reading my writing, taking my courses and creating heaven on earth with me!

“There was this one partner years ago who could

“There was this one partner years ago who could give me amrita orgasms. It was amazing. But no one’s been able to do it since then.” This seems to be a common story around female ejaculation.It is not that this person had some kind of magical power. It’s a function happening in your precious body and you have the power to generate it for yourself. Learning how to give myself amrita orgasms was one of the most empowering things I ever learned to do. No longer was I dependent on someone else for this experience. It was especially life changing because at that time I hadn’t had much of a solo self pleasuring practice, as I was always in long term relationships. I embraced a whole other universe of relating to myself!However, it is vitally important that we do not cultivate female ejacuIation to please another person or fulfill someone else’s fantasy. It is not okay for a man (or woman) to ever put pressure on you to ejacuIate or orgasm. That is actually the worst thing they could possibly do! These kind of orgasms happen in the depth of surrender. Pressure is on the opposite spectrum of surrender.The amount of women who have had traumatic female ejacuIation experiences is staggering. I’ve had women tell me that their lovers have made them bleed before. Most men learned how to give their partners amrita 0rgasms through hard fast stimulation too soon. This is completely wrong. There should be no pain. There is a beautiful pressure and rhythm but only from proper warming up and opening. There are so many elements. This is why in my Amrita Orgasm course all about teaching women about female ejacuIation, we learn the tools to first call forth our orgasmic waters through self pleasure first.Your orgasm is YOURS. Someone else did not GIVE you an orgasm. They may have encouraged orgasmic energy, but it was your body that had the experience.“This course is a great investment for anyone wanting to heal shame around their sexuality and feel empowered to experience the pleasure they have always wanted to, but didn’t believe they could."The Amrita course begins May 28th.

Creating my dream life was not “easy”. It was

Creating my dream life was not “easy”. It was not handed to me on a silver platter. But it was and is so deeply rewarding. The calling in my heart has been what I’ve followed even when it didn’t make logical sense, not what society told me I should.From going backpacking for 5 months in NZ by myself at 18, to moving to Hawaii with a suitcase and $500, to not going to college and choosing to certify in alternative healing modalities instead, to becoming an ordained water priestess, to making my first few thousand dollars from an online course, to generating 5 figure months.Now, I live in my favorite place in the world with my incredible beloved and generate flowing prosperity through doing what I absolutely love.I share this not to portray some image to you, but because I truly hope this inspires you.I want YOU to know that YOU have wings of love supporting you every time you have the courage to leap off that cliff and follow your dreams and the unique destiny that the universe has for you. Even if you don’t immediately see results, keep going!!YOU are a precious and unique drop of water that will never again be replicated. You carry gifts that this planet needs.If your gift is selling clothes at a boutique or cleaning houses or being a lawyer or doctor. They are all equal under God because it doesn’t matter as much what you do as HOW you do it.What do you do that puts you most into a state of divine grace and love for life? Being in that emotional energy state puts you in touch with the quantum field of infinite possibilities.If I knew what was on the other side of taking the hard leaps of faith, I would have done it without a second thought. But there is no bravery in that.Take the leap of faith.Keep going. Don’t give up. Make “mistakes”.Live. This. One. Precious. Life.Be courageous.You are infinite.Act like it.Act like you have a legion of angels at your back.Act like there is no way you can fail because you are aligned with the divine.Act like the universe wants you to succeed.Act like life loves you so f*cking much.Because it does 💕

Why I don’t believe in twin flames: If I listene

Why I don’t believe in twin flames:
If I listened to every man who told me they were my twin flame, the one, Jesus to my Magdalene, I would have been married over 5 times by now. In my teens & early 20’s, it was very hard to distinguish my true soul’s voice from that of outer reflections. I loved so easily and deeply that it took YEARS to realize that just because I clearly have a soul connection, past life, and deep love for someone it does not mean that I am meant to be with them or that we are compatible.Practical compatibility is just as important as passionate quantum s.ex activations. It is also dangerous to believe you need another half for your soul to be whole, which is what a lot of twin flame stuff is about.Interdependence is beautiful and necessary. Believing you can’t be complete or exist without another person is unhealthy. You are whole, holy and worthy without another person.Yet, I do deeply believe in love & sacred union.That we can be stronger together than on our own.Throughout time, there have been love stories so great that they are still talked about today.
Solomon and Sheba
Isis and Osiris
Christ and Magdalene
Guinevere and LancelotYet, in a lot of these famous love stories, they can’t be together or are rife with tragedy. One partner dies, or they are banned from seeing each other. We need to create new living love stories.Love stories of thriving families & cultures.We are at a huge moment in history where we are witnessing the collapsing of a civilization resulting from being deeply disconnected from the earth.It can be overwhelming to look at all the problems in the world.However, what we can all do, is zoom in to address our own lives.How can we create an even more beautiful love story in our immediate reality?It’s a constant daily practice to choose the love story instead of the fear story.The kind smile you share walking in the park past a stranger.
Love story.The sweet note you leave for your partner to find in their car.
Love story.The time you create for yourself to follow a dream.
Love story.Life wants to love us. Life wants to romance us.CONTINUED 💕👇

When I finally entered into a union I felt was “

When I finally entered into a union I felt was “the one”, I yearned to do deeper honoring ceremony with him, but was so nervous. I have studied the priestess arts for 8 years now and teach them to women, but when it came to sharing with my beloved, I felt intimidated and hesitant. It took me around 5 months to finally create a sacred ceremony for us.It’s not necessarily an easy or natural thing to do.It takes courage and commitment.There is a delicacy in doing this work with a man you love.For me, it felt way more vulnerable than sharing with women, even those I didn’t know.Because the rejection potential is way higher.If a women I don’t know that well doesn’t like my most sacred offerings, it’s fine.But if my beloved, the man I share my body and bed with doesn’t like it.That’s a heart break.When I finally overcame that fear and did it, not only did he love it, but the reward of what it brought to our relationship is priceless.Then there is also the factor of actually making time.Sometimes we are tired. There’s too much work to do. We just want to “relax”.But it’s like any spiritual practice. When you put in the work, the reward is profound.Prioritizing our relationships take commitment.My beloved and I have a thing called Temple Tuesday. This night, we set ceremonial space and take turns giving each other sacred tending. Then often move into exquisite lovemaking.Sometimes, we skip a week (or two). That’s why we all need accountability.I’m sure with kids it’s even more challenging to make the space!And yet it’s so important.Our intimate partnership is a treasure that must be honored.I created WORSHIP, a 10 week group mentorship for women, because I believe our men need us to show up for them in this way. If not us, who? If not now, when?Growing in love requires tending.Link in bio for details & to apply.Only 11 spaces left. We begin April 21st.

We were making love the other night and afterwards

We were making love the other night and afterwards in the most delicious snuggle bubble were talking about how even though we have been together over two years now, the s.ex is way more amazing than when we first got together and all the hormones and fireworks were happening.I feel like there is this myth in relationships that being with one person might get boring after a while. I find the opposite to be true. The longer I’m with him, the more I love him, and the more we know each other’s bodies. We are still exploring and discovering new things together! And there is a foundation of ever building love and trust which helps both our bodies open even deeper.Our mantra: best lives ever keep getting better. And the love making is definitely included in that.LOVE is the most important element of s.exuality in my opinion.A lot of modern neo tantra actually disgusts me. I feel a deep repulsion because I do not feel purity and sacredness in the teachings.My body opens when my heart opens. Sometimes I can have an instant heart opening with a man, but truly, the best s.ex for me has been when I feel the most in love and safe which happens with time.Most people don’t just want s.ex. They want connection. They want love. They want true intimacy. There is nothing like the deep soul revelry that happens when you are in deep loving presence.Something that has been incredible to deepen into with the love making in this relationship is stillness. Stillness during lovemaking is just as important as movement. Coming back to “stillness” makes you realize that you can never be perfectly still. It’s so potent to feel the subtle current of breath pulsing between you and your lover. By putting attention towards the micro-sensations, we can allow them to become even more pleasurable. This makes orgasms even more potent!Making love is like ocean waves. After a deep build and orgasmic crash, I love to pause and come back to stillness. From this place, feeling the subtle sensations and how much pleasure is in the stillness and little micro movements. Breathing deeply. Snuggling.I call it snuggle lovemaking.👇👇👇

I am not everyone’s cup of tea. You can never be

I am not everyone’s cup of tea. You can never be everyone’s cup of tea. Some people love earl grey, some don’t. Some people love peppermint, some don’t. It’s so important to realize, especially in the expanded world of social media, that you can never be everyone’s cup of tea, but you are always someone’s and to focus on just being yourself.As a little girl, I was obsessed with tea parties. I had a whicker basket style suitcase that I could carry around with me and open to reveal fancy tea ware for spontaneous tea parties. I’ve always been a tea over coffee person and drink at least one cup a day.Since meeting my beloved, I’ve been immersed in Asian tea culture. Drinking pu’erh, red, or oolong almost every morning as our start the day ritual together. It’s something that makes my inner adult and inner child super happy.Although tea is not super hydrating water as it is no longer structured due to boiling. It can be a powerful medicine. Water being a solvent and carrier of the herbs properteas 😉 Tea is referred to as the empress of all herbs in China.I also love to make healing herbal tea.I prefer buying bulk organic herbs and making the tea blends myself over buying them premade at the store. You can fill a glass coffee press with tea herbs, pour hot water over it, and you have a potent blend of tea.Some favorite combinations:💦Nettle, Licorice, Horsetail, Red Raspberry Leaf, Oatstraw
💦Peppermint, Licorice, Astragalus, Echinacea, Yarrow
💦Ginger, Turmeric, Lime, HoneyTea is one of my favorite kinds of daily water magic that greatly improves my well being. Although we can’t be everyone’s cup of tea, we are always someones.What cup of tea are you? 😉P.S. Side Note, I am honored that you let me into your life.If my time off of social media taught me anything, it is this. To be allowed into someone’s reality, even via the screen, is a huge energetic responsibility.My favorite thing I did in my break was start learning the harp. Never in my life have I loved an instrument so much that I practice without trying to.Grateful to be back with renewed energy and appreciation 🙏💕Photography: @rachelshilah

Yesterday, I had a potent cry in my beloved’s ar

Yesterday, I had a potent cry in my beloved’s arms. We had a magical adventure day, but had our #1 relationship trigger came up to be felt and released.After the intimacy of clearing the block and crying, we had the most delicious lovemaking we’ve had all year.Crying is an essential part of having orgasms. Yep! The mind is like how why does not compute but the heart says oh ya I totally know that!One of the blocks to experiencing pleasure is not letting all the other emotions move and flow.If you can’t let your tears flow, chances are you’ll have a lot harder time letting your female e.jaculation flow.Blocking our feelings blocks all feeling. We need to feel it to heal it!Being a lover is not just about accessing bliss together it’s also about tending the fullness of the garden. The compost, the weeds, the flowers.A garden needs shit to thrive! Literally!To be a true lover, we must care for the whole garden. Not just admire the flowers when they bloom, but be present for the whole process. Actively honor the compost (shadow work), rain (emotional releases), sun (light), moon (dark), worms, birds, you get the picture.An orgasmic blooming flower bloomed because it had a lot of other support. Same with our yoni flowers. I believe the fullness of sexual pleasure happens when the heart can fully bloom in the safety of true loves embrace which is the nurturing of the whole garden.The first place we must find that embrace is within. The inner alchemy I actively did marrying my feminine and masculine brought me to a healthy external reflection with my beloved.My partner is really good at supporting my orgasms. He also is good at holding space for me when I cry.I feel safe to express all of me. Not just orgasmic feelings, but full expression.If you find yourself saying you want that with a partner, do it with yourself first.Expressing authentic emotions safely is a portal to ecstasy. This is why in my Amrita 0rgasm course all about teaching women about female ejaculati0n, we learn the tools to meet whatever emotions are there.Today is the last day to join us as we begin tomorrow.

In ancient Sumerian, the word Buru means “vagina

In ancient Sumerian, the word Buru means “vagina” and “river”. In Babylonian, the work pu means “vagina” and “source of a river”. It’s so beautiful that in these cultures, the connection between our yonis and river of water was so similar that they used the same word. I like to call female ejaculation my inner ocean because I always think of orgasms being like a wave with the building and crashing of energy, but it does flow out more like a river.Being wet is different than having an amrita orgasm. This is a common inquiry I receive. In the most basic explanation, lubrication involves the bartholin glands while female ejaculation comes from the skenes glands. They also have different make ups and textures.The most important distinction though is not in the chemical composition, but in the energy. The magic of water is in the crystalline structure and the electromagnetic frequency. Even if the composition of ejaculate and lubrication shared similar measurements of physical compounds, the actual make up of the water is completely different based on the information its crystal matrix holds.Amrita emanates the light of divine pleasure, orgasmic rapture, and love. The amount of magnetic life force energy that is released at the height of orgasms and imprinted into the amrita waters has the potential to make it a healing elixir of eternal life. In the Magdalen manuscript book, Tom Kenyan states how important it is to “nest in the magnetic fields” after lovemaking or self pleasure. That the energy generated is very healing and good to bathe in.In fact, I believe this may be the fountain of youth within the holy grail. The holy grail being the chalice of our womb and our amrita being the fountain. The deep symbology hidden within our bodies.In Daoist texts, female ejaculation is referred to as moonflower medicine and an elixir said to imbue immortality.The word amrita itself means immortality.There is nothing that activates, centers, grounds, elevates and blisses me out like amrita and this is why it’s part of my life work to share this with women around the world, especially at this time.Link in bio for all the juicy details 💦💕

We need good news, reminders of the magic of life.

We need good news, reminders of the magic of life. So I feel inspired to share with you how we found our perfect new home in under 3 weeks in a limited housing market through the power of offerings and prayer as inspiration for flow states of grace.“Sorry for the short notice, but you have to be out of the house in three weeks because the owners changed their minds and want to move back.”We had been living for 6 months in a beautiful home in my favorite neighborhood on Kauai. It was the best house we’d ever had, and we allowed ourselves to get so settled. We’d invested in big furniture, plant/trees, gardens. I let myself feel the grief. I was so tired of moving. We started looking online and asking friends. But there was nothing that was an upgrade. We went to look at a few spots just to make sure we wouldn’t be homeless but everything was worse than where we were.However, we kept claiming to the universe. Only upgrades! We trust life is always upwards evolution.Then I had a realization. I’d been looking for houses the normal way. My life doesn’t work best like that! I have always relied on magic, spirit, ceremony & miracles.So I gathered powerful DNA offerings: my Amrita nectar (female ejaculation) and yoni hair. I asked Chris to come do prayers with me. We went to the Banyan tree that I’d become friends with during our 6 months there. The prayers started with gratitude to this island. How grateful we are to be blessed enough to live here. How much we adore her, how much we want to do even more good things for her and the waters. We spoke to her as a dear elder friend (she’s one of the best). Then we asked for her assistance. That she would guide us to the perfect new home to support us in this next chapter of service. There was a lot more but that’s the energetic gist. Then we poured out the offerings together and got ready to go to yoga.After yoga class, we walked outside. Chris looked at the community bulletin board and said, “look honey at this beautiful house for sale by this legendary musician.” I glanced at it. It was gorgeous but over our budget to purchase and it wasn’t for rent. (CONTINUED IN COMMENTS👇)

Today during morning kundalini with my beloved, I

Today during morning kundalini with my beloved, I had a realization. I was thinking about how lately what’s been helping me most in these times is praising the creator. I get up and start praising the beauty of the creation. My thoughts sounding something like, “look at that tree. Wow god you really are an incredible creator. I’m so honored to be alive in this glorious creation.” I had the realization that this is why gratitude works so well. Gratitude is appreciating God (goddess source whatever you call the creator).Who doesn’t like to be appreciated and loved!? If I was God, I’d be so sad to see my creation suffering and polluting the earth and not enjoying it. I’d want to see them protecting it and stoked! It goes with the natural life current to be in a state of gratitude and praise for I believe this is our highest design! And that’s why magic and miracles manifest when we are in those genuine states of consciousness! That’s why water also makes the most beautiful crystal patterns when exposed to feelings of gratitude and love!This also applies with our loved ones. One of the most powerful things that Chris and I do every day to stay in a state of love with one another is verbal praise.For example, these are just a few of the sweet things my beloved said to me this past week (minus all the sexy ones 😉I can’t wait to have a family with you.
My heart feels so happy and at peace with you.
Wow, this meal you made is the best thing ever.
I went to 5 different stores to make sure I got everything on your list. I love providing for you.
You are the most beautiful woman in the world in every way.
I’m so grateful you’re such a snuggle bug.
You’re the best business advisor. You’re so smart.Receiving all these nourishing energies of love and gratitude from him makes me want to show up for him as much as possible! I think this is how the creator must feel. When we are expressing this praise, we are infinitely provided for in the stream of life.Here are 3 suggestions for cultivating this in your life:💕 Do as much as possible that generates authentic genuine feelings of gratitude and love💕 Tune your thoughts to the channel of praise (CONTINUED👇)

I’m in love with columns. I used to wonder why I

I’m in love with columns. I used to wonder why I love them so much. Then one day, at the temples of Tulum, the answer came and has been deepening ever since. In the ancient goddess temples, columns were anchoring specific energies. Depending on what they were made of, they could radiate the energy generated in the temple into the room, down into the earth and up to the heavens. They could also store and amplify energy.Columns were originally made from trees. Trees are sacred beings. They not only release oxygen but they form the energetic ever renewing energy of the torus. They are anchors between heaven and earth. I believe that the temple builders had the ability to communicate with the tree spirit so it could live on in the column. Especially holy trees such as oak, yew or ash in Celtic tradition or almond, cypress or laurel in Greek tradition. In Greece, the tree spirits were considered female and called hamadryad, or tree nymphs. Dryah comes from the greek word for oak. In ancient Minoan culture, they used whole tree trunks as columns. Often, they were upturned on their trunks. In some temples, where stone pillars were used, there are indents in the floor beside them, suggesting liquid libations were offered.It became more common to make them out of stone and also use them as structural support. Many stones also have crystals and minerals in it. If they were made of stone that has crystal quarts in it for example such as granite, that would be an amplifier of energy and additionally have the potential of storing information like a computer.Columns are beautiful to me, but even deeper than that, I love what they represent and the support they offer to a temple space.I dream of one day having columns made from special stone & crystals. The columns I have now are made of fiberglass, but I ritually washed them, anointed them in sacred oils, and prayed intentions into them of the frequency and purpose I desire them to hold.Do you love columns? Do you have any special information about their deeper meaning/purpose in ancient times?#columns #goddesstemple #greektemple #priestess #priestesstemple

My great grandmother died from blood poisoning cau

My great grandmother died from blood poisoning caused by a back ally abortion. She was only 23. Married to an alcoholic gambler in a tiny middle of nowhere town in Montana. Two young children in tow, my grandmother only 2, I can imagine the terror she must have felt being pregnant again. Unsupported & in an abusive relationship, she must have been desperate.Abortion was illegal. That didn’t stop her. That rarely stops anyone.I believe that if abortion had been legal and safer, she wouldn’t have died from blood poisoning.But I don’t see that as the best solution.I wish she still had knowledge of our birthright as women regarding how to naturally regulate fertility and prevent pregnancy via herbs & cycle tracking, and if that didn’t work, how to release a pregnancy at home with the support of friends.But if that would have been the case, it means she would have lived in a different world. One where women were connected to the earth. To the depth of woman’s wisdom.She wouldn’t have just survived in that case, I believe she would have thrived. Maybe I would have even known her.But that is not the world she lived in. And that is not the world most of us live in.Yet, we are here to change this.We are remembering. The ancient streams of gnosis pulsing through our blood and bones.When birth control came out, it was sold to us as female empowerment. I don’t see it that way. I see it as a potential danger that can wreak havoc on a woman’s hormonal system that was created as a patriarchal substitute for deeper understanding of our female reproductive system.If you choose to use pharmaceutical birth control, you have no side effects and it works great for you, I honor your choice.The problem I have is when they tell you that it is your only choice and don’t educate on alternatives.There are other ways.There are more natural forms of birth control.And just like home births can be an alternative to hospital birth, releasing pregnancy can be done at home instead of a clinic.Choosing to end a pregnancy is a choice I’ve never had to make in this life for which I am deeply grateful.I am sure it’s one of the hardest choices a woman could make. 👇

“I release the unhealthy internal patterning that no matter what I look like, there is always something to criticize about my body.”“That’s exactly the same thing I wrote down to release!” My mom exclaims passionately.We had an intimate ancestral fire releasing ceremony and each wrote out what ancestral patterns we wanted to let go of.Of all 6 things I wrote down, my mom and mine were almost identical.I’ve always known and shared that patterns get passed down ancestrally, but I never witnessed it this clearly before. That out of all the patterns my mom and I could have chosen, we picked the same. In a lot of cases, I got the diluted version because my moms done a lot of internal work which I’m so grateful for. But wow the power of witnessing this first hand was eye opening.It’s reminding me that the healing and self love alchemy we do is not selfish. I believe it’s the most authentic selfless gift we can give. Because our energy and vibration doesn’t lie. And when we alchemize a pattern that wasn’t serving the highest, the healing ripples back through time blessing our ancestors and into the future. The whole lineage receives healing.Having my mama visit has been such a gift. I hadn’t seen her in over a year (longest ever) so it’s been quite a reunion.Lots of hours cooking in the kitchen, drinking wine, sharing stories, swimming, dancing. Spending sweet time together enjoying the simple things.It’s also been deep. I’ve already been in an internal and reflective transformation process and having her here has accelerated it. My motto this month is Tending the Tenderness.The other night my mama and I were making ravioli in the kitchen and she shared the sweetest thing that I had to write down:“If I’m feeling off, I go to the kitchen, call on my well ancestors and cook something. It’s magic. A form alchemy that gets to love people through feeding them that makes me forget about any “problems”.”My mama’s food is healing.Everything we do can be healing.Sweeping the floor, driving the car, pulling garden weeds.It’s the energy that we are being that is the most important thing.There are infinite ways to express love.

I wonder if the oyster laments at the irritant in

I wonder if the oyster laments at the irritant in its shell or if there is no recognition of good or bad, just the deep impulse to make something beautiful out of what it’s given. We can all use the wisdom & symbology of the pearl in these times. Asking how we can transform the parasite in our shell and the collective humanity into a pearl of paradise.There are phrases like it’s always darkest before the dawn that feel extra meaningful right now. I don’t mean this as a feel good ignore the travesties happening on the planet kind of phrase. But I can’t help knowing in my bones that no matter what happens, there is the choice to see the beauty in the pain and to work with what we are given with grace.When I become quiet enough to go beyond the noise and dive down deep into the ocean of my soul, there is a stillness and perfection beyond the emotional waves or coming and going of culture. There is a recognition, that humanity has lived through the fall of many civilizations and will live through many more.Therefore, I do not place my pearl making in the fate of another’s shell. I craft what I am given and take refuge in a sacred rich fertile rapture within that is a void full of every infinite possibility. I trust that we are the children of the most beautiful love story in the universe. That I can choose at least to make my home, body, work, and everything I touch as filled with heaven on earth as possible. If you are reading this, it probably means you are blessed enough to have that choice as well.May we all remember the mystic beauty and majesty in every breath, in the blood swirling through our veins, in the colors glistening in the Maya, in the pulsing drum beat of our heart.The simplicity of the miracle it is to even have a body.WISOM OF THE PEARL 💎
Pearls aren’t made over night. They happen in layers. Be patient. Be diligent. Be kind.Practice non judgement when an irritant shows up. It’s an opportunity to alchemize and grow.You can’t make another persons pearl for them. You can’t “fix” another person.You are responsible for your own pearl. Have fun with the process. Celebrate!

“You almost got hit by a car taking that corner

“You almost got hit by a car taking that corner too wide!” My voice is a bit raised as my beloved and I drive home.“No I didn’t! They weren’t even close to hitting me!” He defends.It turns out that we have different definitions of “close”.One of our relationship conflicts (aka growth opportunities) is around driving. We have totally different driving styles. He’s more daring than me and doesn’t like to follow certain ettiquete which triggers feelings of not being safe which I tend to overreact to because trauma in my nervous system gets activated.Conflict resolution is essential to sacred union. In partnership, we have the joy of looking into the deepest mirror of our gifts and shadows. When wounds are triggered, how can we lay down our word swords and come back to tending and compassion?It is the hardest when trauma is activated and the defense shield is up.
It can feel so uncomfortable to stay in the body.
But being present with the body is the gift.
It’s the rewiring that happens on a biological level.We don’t have it all figured out, but are so grateful for the tools we both have.
I felt inspired to share in hopes that they may also be supportive for you.TIPS FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTIONTry not to have charged interactions in the car. It’s one of the worst places for it.
The energy is already chaotic from moving and one person is 1/2 distracted from driving.If you can, create an intentional space at home or in nature to have a conversation around a challenging topic.
Light candles, soft piano music, smoke cleansing, etc.
Water brings peace and reconciliation to a room, so if you want to go the extra step, gather a bowl of water from nature nearby or sit near a moving body of water.Start from Stillness
Breathe Deeply
Eye Gaze
Feel into your Heart
Ask these questions:
What’s true? Aka what actually happened.
What is trigger/trauma?
Where can you take responsibility? (Yes, be mature and do it first if needed)
Are they also able to take responsibility? (If not, that is a red flag)
Where can you support each other to see blind spots?
Where can you embrace shadow work?
Where can you grow in love?👇👇👇
