Sexual Shamanic Priestess Tenets
The Sexual Shamanic Priestess is an ancient archetype that is returning to our consciousness to be reactivated. The Sexual Shamanic Priestess nourishes the cycles of orgasmic energy and inner rhythms and cycles of herself, her community and all of creation. In stepping into this archetype, we step into the wholeness of our power and repair our fragmented connection with Mother Earth and the fragmented connection between our sexuality and our spirituality. Through pleasure, love, ritual and Earth based wisdom and reverence the Sexual Priestess holds the wisdom of oneness with all of creation. In this powerful all women-retreat, we will journey to awaken the Sexual Priestess within each of us, reclaiming our individual and collective sexual power, opening to our authentic creative and sensual self-expressions and entraining our dance with the cycles of nature and the cosmos. I’ve been crafting a list of tenets of the Sexual Shamanic Priestess. This is the beginning. I’d love to hear yours!
Sexual Shamanic Priestess Tenets
The sexual shamanic priestess…
Is one with nature.
Honors and celebrates all of nature’s cycles and all of the cycles and phases of womanhood.
Maximizes these natural cycles to direct energy with intent for personal transformation, perfect health, abundance and manifestation of her desires adhering to the shamanic principles of right relationship.
Nourishes her sexuality and sensuality with the governing principles that her body is her own to share and celebrate as she desires and that all acts of love and pleasure are her rituals.
Celebrates and honors her body and the bodies of others and connects and shares from a place of generosity, fullness and love.
Practices self-inquiry.
Knows and honors that her sexuality is hers and is also an extension of the Earth’s macrocosm of sexual life force energy.
Serves as a conduit of an essential sacred energy that exists within nature and a translator of this wisdom.
Sexual shamanic priestess is an embodiment of the Goddess and bringer of sexual joy by which animal instincts are transformed into the art and practice love and love-making.
Reinstates sexuality in its fundamental position as our birthright and a holy body blessing
Seeks to support and empower other women in accessing their sexual sensual life force for pleasure, creativity and health.
She brings her soul gifts to service her community.

‘Tis the holiday season and it’s also the season for stress, which could lead to contracting a cold or flu. I myself just experienced a doozie of a cold that put me out for almost a week. Rather than looking at this cold as a hindrance, I take any injury or illness as an opportunity to go deeper into my explorations in herbal medicine. In playing in the herb cabinet over the past week, a powerful remedy was revealed to me that has now established itself as my healing holy trinity. This trinity of herbs turned my two-week cold into a five-day cold by accelerating my body’s healing process.
Ill tell you about three herbs, two of which you probably know and one of which you might not. First I would like to say however that I am a simpler at heart with my herbs – meaning I like to use one herb at a time to really get to know it. With this cold through, I also realize that there is power and numbers and sometimes it takes a team rather than any one individual to complete a task properly.
The plants are our allies in taking care of our and I encourage you if you’ve never explored plant medicine there is no better time than the present to begin. Read below to find out my Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh so to speak that keeps my body holy, healthy and sensuous embodied health.
Groggy and rolling out of bed with a sore throat and a headache I stumbled to my herb cabinet on Monday morning and pulled together these three herbs that leapt out from the shelf when I asked for help.
Elderberry is a grandmother medicine and holds an entire medicine chest in her healing properties including being an excellent anti-cold and anti-flu tonic. Her powers support a healthy heart as well as being anti-viral and anti-bacterial. http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-elderberry.html
Echinacea – I use to help boost immunity and increase my white blood cell count to support my body’s natural ability to heal itself. Echinacea is like putting ones body in an express lane of healing rather than going on the local route. It accelerates the overall healing journey. Avoid Echinacea if I had an autoimmune disorder like MS or rheumatoid arthritis. http://www.3fatchicks.com/8-benefits-of-echinacea/
Osha Root – is a new discovery for me. I generally use plants that are easy to harvest and I have collected myself. However, I ordered some dried Osha root last year which I made into a tincture (plant steeped in vodka alcohol for a minimum of 6 weeks) incase anyone in my presence went into anaphylactic shock or had a severe allergic reaction because I was aware Osha root stops histamine receptors for a short time. However, on my groggy morning Osha kept leaping of the shelf asking me to use her as a support. Osha Root grows in the Rocky Mountains but it is however an endangered plant due to over harvesting. I use it seldom because there are other plants that can take its place for more regular use. Osha is also called Bear Root and sometimes bear medicine. Bears after awakening from hibernation will dig up this root and rub it all over their bodies. It is a diaphoretic which makes the body sweat, but is also said to stimulate the appetite after a bear has awakened from a winter slumber. Bears respond to it like cats to catnip. Sometimes even male bears are seen digging it up and offering it in courtship to female bears. Having bear as my spirit totem, I’m not surprised after this research that Osha wanted to step forward and help me with this cold. Osha is great for upper respiratory support and clearing congestion on the body. Osha is also antibacterial and antiviral and relieves coughs and inflammation in the throat and bronchial tubes.

To keep your body healthy and happy this holiday season I’ll have a few of my holy body trinity tincture blends available. Please email me if you would like to reserve yours. I’m making special blends of this tincture to be available at the Sensual Woman’s Soiree and Holy Body Worship this season for $10, less than you would pay in a store and all handmade homemade tinctures.
Happy to Heal and Help Heal,

Energy Orgasms ~ A Romp with Queen Anne

After spending seven months with Queen Anne and graduating my herbal apprenticeship, I feel like my relationship with her has only just begun. As a sacred sexuality teacher, I’m not surprised that Queen Anne chose me as an ally when so much of her energy teaches about healthy sexuality and reproductive choice, something that our religious and political climate still attempt to usurp control over. Queen Anne reminds me how to listen to the seasons and cycles within myself and to honor my body, my sexual energy and my reproductive choice as my own intuitive right as a woman. My relationship with Queen Anne brings me deeper into my own inner rhythms around conscious conception and personal sexual power. As a sexual shamanic teacher, my wish is for each woman to align with and feel Queen Anne’s support on the rapturous road of their lives.
Herbalist Robin Rose Bennett has researched and written substantially about the effects of Queen Anne’s Lace as herbal contraception. For more information on Queen Anne’s Lace as herbal contraception Click Here
