#37: "Reclaiming the Virgin" Solo Episode

Get in witches, we're reclaiming the virgin for Virgo season this week on "Love, Lust & Magick." It's true, actually! We're ditching the definition the patriarchy made up about giving your "virginity" away and looking to the ancient past. We are flipping purity culture on its head by remembering the innate power and beauty of pleasure. Inspired by Virgo's symbol as the virgin, we're remembering the definition of a virgin to mean unwed and belonging to oneself. We take a look at the Virgin Goddesses, the idea of sexual sovereignty, and the power of the Hermit- Virgo's associated tarot card- to weave a new narrative around sexuality, innocence, and empowerment. Gabriela reads from "The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets", and her books "Sacred Sex" and the "Goddess of Love Tarot" to inspire your journey into your sensual depths this Virgo season.
