In this episode, we walk with Inanna as she chooses to descend into the Great Below.
You’ll hear about:
What it means for a Queen to give everything away, willingly
The Seven Gates and the sacred stripping of power and ego
The figure of Ninshubur, the sacred monster who holds the memory of us
How the descent is not a punishment, but an initiation
Teachings from Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés on death, shadow, and renewal
Personal reflections on the times we must allow ourselves to die a little, in order to live more truly
We end in the dark. We let the silence hold. And we remember: death is not the end, but a becoming.
Come sit with me there.
