Undercover Priestess: Secret Diary of a Whore
Part 2: The Shadow Politics of Love, Eros, The Feminine and Power

One of my intentions with this series is to take you through an awakening process into the truth of eros, the sacred feminine, spirituality, women and power through examining the collective shadows, blind spots and assumptions about prostitution. Because prostitution contains everything that can expose our hidden biases and beliefs about women, sex, spirituality and power. I deliberately took myself through an intensive PHD level inquiry and shadow alchemy through decades of prostitution. I confronted these biases, projections, judgements and assumptions as a living inquiry. I lived into them consciously and directly.
So, part of our journey is going to involve different thought experiments and contemplations where I will invite you to question your assumptions about prostitution. Because to get to the temple of the Holy Whore we also must travel through centuries of confusion, misogyny and shadow.
Most people carry a deep assumption that prostitution is a single type of experience that features a specific psycho-emotional context and relational dynamic.
This is not true.
