From goddess to harlot — Dr. Joanna Kujawa ballbusts the patriarchal myths that strip women of their sexuality, and ultimately, their spiritual power. In her scintillating scholarship, The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge, the spiritual detective unravels ancient esoteric traditions honoring connections between female sexuality and divine power — and how they were pushed to the shadows. For Joanna, religious portrayals of women were too idealized, desexualized (or debased), and incomplete; this spurred two decades of research to recover a long lineage of priestesses who invoke the primordial alchemy of eros. Learn how “bliss consciousness” forms a path to cosmic consciousness, our greatest creative prowess. Discover what it means to live at your “highest octave” and operate from your highest self. Go beyond archetypes. Dr. Kujawa insists: honor yourself, you are the other goddess, and embrace transformative power.
4 Things you’ll learn in this episode:
There is no scriptural evidence that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Gnostic gospels do reveal Mary Magdalene to not only be Jesus’ most advanced disciple, but also his erotic partner.
Sexuality is not sin. Sin is a consequence of choices based on acting from our lowest self – jealousy, fear, insecurity…
Creative paths require creative practice. Make yourself available. Get up, show up, invoke the powers, and plunge in.
Claim your path, whatever that may be. Claim yourself.
