info_outlineWelcome to another powerful episode of the Snake Priestess Podcast.
Today, you’re connecting with the fabulous Phoenix Amara—Author, Artist, Sacred Sexuality Teacher, and steward of a gorgeous white ball python, Stella.
My experience of Phoenix is as a Divine feminine leader, priestess, and tantrika devoted to bringing union into the world.
You’re going to love this joyous conversation, filled with lots of giggles since we had an extra surprise guest live with us: Stella!
We start off the episode with the fascinating synchronicities that brought snake, and specifically Stella, into her life and what it’s been like for her to steward such a sensual, beautiful creature.
As with all of the episodes, we weave along a sinuous path in our conversation together … from the sensitivity of snakes, shedding, kundalini, the Divine Feminine, symbolism, and movement.
You’re definitely going to want to hear a couple incredible stories—such as what happened with Stella when Phoenix ended a long-term relationship…
We also delve into the lessons that snake teaches us about trusting our instincts, discernment, and letting go…
You’ll want to be sure, towards the end, to listen to Phoenix’s suggestions on how to grow, through snake medicine, this year.
One of my favorite quotes in this episode from Phoenix is, “A snake Priestess befriends her fears.”
YESSSS.
