Tied Up in Art: The Sensual History of Shibari Rope Tie (Now at Pink Blush Boudoir!) -
Explore the empowering and sensual history of Shibari rope bondage in this blog post from Edmonton boudoir photographer, Pink Blush Boudoir. Learn how Shibari evolved from ancient Japanese martial arts into an intimate art form now offered as a boudoir add-on with red or tan rope. This post celebrates one brave client's first shoot and her courage to go live, while highlighting how Shibari can transform your boudoir experience into an unforgettable expression of beauty, vulnerability, and strength.
Let’s get tied up in something deliciously bold and beautifully empowering, shall we?
I’m so excited to share a brand-new offering in the studio: Shibari rope tie sessions—now available as an add-on to your boudoir shoot here at Pink Blush. Whether you choose the deep, passionate hue of red rope or the natural, earthy tone of tan, this addition adds a level of sensuality, power, and artistry that is unlike anything else.
But before we dive into what this experience looks like in front of the lens, let’s talk a little about the roots of this ancient and intimate art form.
The Story Behind the Knots: A Brief History of Shibari
Shibari, meaning “to tie” in Japanese, traces its origins back to Hojojutsu, a martial art used by Samurai to restrain captives with rope. Over time, this evolved into an erotic performance art known as Kinbaku, which literally means "tight binding." What began as a method of control and discipline was eventually transformed into a deeply expressive and emotional practice—one that emphasized beauty, vulnerability, and connection.
In modern-day Shibari, the ropes become an extension of emotion. Every knot tells a story. Every bind is a conversation between trust and surrender. And within the world of boudoir, it’s a stunning way to explore both your softness and your strength—your wildness and your worth.
From Bound to Bold: A Muse’s First Time in the Spotlight
The client featured in the images from this session is one of my incredible Muze Call babes. This was her first time ever posing—and let me tell you, she owned it. Not only did she step into a completely new style of shoot with grace and sensuality, but she also had the courage to go LIVE on Facebook and share her story.
That kind of bravery? That kind of vulnerability? That’s what this work is all about.
It’s not just about pretty pictures—it’s about transformation. It’s about taking up space in your own body again. It’s about letting yourself be seen, in all your rawness, beauty, and power.
Why Add Shibari to Your Boudoir Experience?
Empowerment Through Surrender: There’s something uniquely freeing about letting go and letting the rope hold you. Shibari isn't about being overpowered—it’s about claiming a deeper part of your power.
Stunning Visual Art: The lines and symmetry created by rope tie elevate your session into fine art. It’s sculpture. It’s story. It’s sensual poetry for the eye.
Body Connection: Many women report a deeper connection to their body during and after Shibari sessions. The rope becomes a guide—not just on your skin, but in your soul.
Let Me Tie You Up, Babe
If you’ve ever been curious about rope play, or if you’re simply craving a shoot that pushes boundaries and redefines intimacy, this might just be the moment to say yes to something new.
Shibari rope tie is now available as a boudoir add-on at my Edmonton studio, using either red or tan rope to match your vibe. Sessions are completely customized, and your comfort is always priority number one.
To my stunning Muze Call model—thank you for your trust, your courage, and your beauty. You’ve inspired more women than you know.
Ready to get tangled up in your own transformation?
Let’s tie you into something unforgettable.

The Erotic Art of Resistance: How Feminist Artists Use Sensuality to Challenge Objectification
Explore how contemporary feminist artists use sensuality and eroticism to challenge misogyny. Learn how these powerful works reclaim women's bodies and sexuality as tools of empowerment and social critique.
In the world of contemporary art, one powerful movement is shifting the gaze from passive objectification to active reclamation. Feminist artists are taking control of sensuality and eroticism, using them as tools of resistance to challenge the often deeply ingrained misogyny that has shaped the narrative of women’s bodies for centuries. Through their provocative works, these artists are not only reclaiming women's sexuality, but also critiquing society’s restrictive and often harmful views on female desire, power, and identity.
Reclaiming Women's Bodies
For too long, women’s bodies have been seen through a lens of objectification, most notably in art history. Classical works often depicted the female form as a passive, alluring object, framed for male pleasure. However, feminist artists have turned the narrative on its head. They are using sensuality and eroticism not as means to objectify, but as powerful expressions of control, freedom, and autonomy.
One of the key methods that these artists employ is the exploration of the female gaze and its reclaiming of sexuality. Works by artists like Judy Chicago with her groundbreaking installation The Dinner Party or Betty Tompkins and her controversial pieces that openly explore sexual acts, challenging the idea that women should be demure or passive in the face of desire. By showcasing sexuality without shame or inhibition, these artists boldly question the patriarchy’s control over how women’s bodies are portrayed and experienced.
Sensuality As Social Critique
Feminist art isn't just about sexual liberation—it's about using sensuality to challenge social structures. Many of these works force the viewer to confront uncomfortable truths about gender inequality, objectification, and violence. For example, Cindy Sherman’s series of photographs, where she assumes various roles of hyper-sexualized women, uses the concept of performance to show how gender identity is socially constructed. Her work reflects the fluidity of sexuality and identity while also illustrating how women are often forced into predetermined roles by a male dominated society.
Carolee Schneemann’s Interior Scroll’s performance art from the 1970s is another iconic example of how eroticism and sensuality can become powerful forms of protest. In this work, Schneemann’s body is both the subject and the medium, as she reads from a scroll that emerges from her vagina. Combining nudity, eroticism, and feminist critique into an unflinching statement against the objectification of women’s bodies.
Eroticism As Empowerment
At the heart of these feminist artistic expressions is the concept of empowerment. For these artists, eroticism is not something to be shamed or repressed, but something to be celebrated as a vital part of human experience. It’s a powerful tool for reclaiming agency over one's body and one's narrative.
Lorna Simpson, for example, has explored how race, gender, and sexuality intersect, often focusing on Black women’s experiences of sensuality and their struggles against objectification. Her work, through still photography and video, highlights the complexity of sexual identity while also critiquing the cultural forces that have historically marginalized Black female bodies.
By presenting eroticism in its raw, unapologetic form, feminist artists are challenging the status quo, redefining the way women’s bodies can be seen in art and society. They are pushing back against centuries of male supremacy and creating a new visual language where women have the right to express their sexuality on their own terms.
A Cultural Shift: From Shame to Pride
The era of shaming women for their sexuality is slowly coming to an end, thanks to these trailblazing artists. Today, there is a shift toward embracing sensuality as a form of self-expression and empowerment. As more women reclaim their bodies and their narratives, the boundaries of art, sexuality, and feminism continue to evolve.
Contemporary feminist artists remind us that sensuality, when used intentionally and with agency, is not only an expression of individual freedom but a critique of the societal systems that seek to confine women’s roles. These works ask us to reconsider the boundaries of eroticism, and in doing so, challenge our understanding of power, identity, and resistance.

Embrace Your Inner Glow this March
The full moon is a magical time to reflect, release, and recharge. Each month, the moon carries a unique energy based on its position in the sky, and March’s full moon is no exception. Known as the Worm Moon, it marks the promise of new beginnings, growth, and awakening after winter’s slumber. Let’s dive into the significance of March’s moon and how you can create your own empowering full moon ceremony at home.
The March Full Moon: The Worm Moon
The Worm Moon gets its name from the time of year when the soil begins to thaw, and earthworms reappear, signaling the start of spring. This moon is all about rebirth, fertility, and transformation. It encourages you to shed the old, stagnant energies of winter and step boldly into a season of growth.
Astrologically, the March moon often falls in Virgo or Libra, bringing themes of balance, organization, and harmony in relationships. It's an ideal time to align your intentions with the blossoming energy of spring and let go of anything that no longer serves you.
How to Host Your Own Full Moon Ceremony
Whether you're new to moon ceremonies or a seasoned moon goddess, crafting a personal ritual can help you harness the Worm Moon’s energy. Here’s a simple yet powerful guide to creating your own ceremony at home:
1. Set the Scene
Choose a quiet space where you feel comfortable and connected to yourself.
Gather a few items to enhance your ceremony:
Candles: White for clarity or green for growth.
Crystals: Clear quartz, citrine, or moonstone.
Sage or Palo Santo: For cleansing your space.
Flowers or plants: To honor spring’s rebirth.
A journal and pen: To reflect and set intentions.
Play soft, soothing music or enjoy the silence under the moonlight.
2. Cleanse Your Energy
Begin by cleansing yourself and your space. Light your sage or Palo Santo, and with intention, wave the smoke around your body and the area. Say aloud:
"I release all that no longer serves me. I invite in the light of the full moon to cleanse and recharge my energy."
3. Meditate Under the Moonlight
If possible, sit where you can see or feel the moon. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Visualize the moon’s light washing over you, filling you with calm and radiant energy. Let it illuminate your heart and guide you toward clarity.
4. Reflect and Release
Take your journal and reflect on these prompts:
What am I ready to release this month?
What areas of my life are ready for growth and renewal?
What lessons from winter can I carry forward with gratitude?
Write down what no longer serves you and burn the paper (safely) to symbolize releasing it to the universe.
5. Set Your Intentions
Now, write down your intentions for the season of growth ahead. Be specific and positive, framing them as affirmations. For example:
I welcome balance and harmony into my relationships.
I embrace new opportunities with courage and confidence.
I am ready to grow into my full potential.
A Full Moon Prayer
Use this prayer to close your ceremony with gratitude and intention:
"Dear Moon, keeper of light and wisdom,
Thank you for illuminating my path and helping me release what no longer serves me.
I honor the lessons of the past and step boldly into this season of growth and renewal.
Guide me as I embrace my potential and move forward with love and intention.
So it is."
Journaling Prompts for the March Full Moon
What emotions, habits, or fears am I ready to let go of?
How can I create more balance in my life?
What is one step I can take toward a goal that excites me?
How can I honor and celebrate my growth this spring?
Final Thoughts
The Worm Moon is your cosmic cue to step into the light, shed the layers of winter, and bloom into your radiant self. Take this time to honor your journey, celebrate your growth, and plant seeds for a beautiful future. A full moon ceremony is more than a ritual; it’s a moment to connect with your inner power and remember just how magical you are.
Empower yourself. Release the past. Glow into the future. 🌕✨

The Patriarchy’s Grip on Women’s Health and Pleasure: How to Break Free and Embrace Our Bodies
Discover how the patriarchy has shaped women’s health and pleasure, and explore ways to break free from these societal constraints. Reclaim your body, your pleasure, and your health with holistic practices that empower and inspire.
For centuries, patriarchy has dictated not just the way women are perceived in society, but how they experience their bodies, their pleasure, and their overall health. From unrealistic beauty standards to shame around sexual desires, women’s bodies have often been seen as objects to be controlled, manipulated, and judged. But it’s time for a radical shift—a movement toward reclaiming our bodies, our pleasure, and our health on our terms.
The Patriarchy's Influence on Women's Health
Patriarchy has shaped societal views on women’s health in a way that often overlooks our true needs, desires, and the importance of self-care. The medical community, for much of history, has been male-dominated, which has led to a lack of understanding and empathy regarding the unique health needs of women. The symptoms of conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, and other gynecological issues were often dismissed or misdiagnosed for years, with women being told that their pain or discomfort was "all in their heads."
Additionally, women have been taught to focus on external appearances over internal health. We’ve been sold the idea that thinness equals beauty and health, equating our worth to how we look instead of how we feel, function, and thrive. This narrow view of health has led to a disconnection between women and their bodies, as we’ve been conditioned to constantly strive for an unattainable ideal instead of embracing our natural forms and diverse experiences of health.
Reclaiming Pleasure and Sexual Health
When it comes to sexual health and pleasure, the patriarchy has often left women in the shadows. Women’s sexuality has been historically stigmatized, with society shaming women for expressing desire, enjoying pleasure, or owning their sexual identities. From virginity tests to slut-shaming, women’s sexual autonomy has been suppressed, leaving many to feel disconnected from their own sexual power and pleasure.
This narrative has created an environment where women are often reluctant to explore and understand their bodies. We’ve been conditioned to believe that pleasure is something for men, or that our desires are secondary to the needs of others. But women’s pleasure is just as important, valid, and deserving of attention and respect.
Breaking Free: Embracing Empowerment and Holistic Health
To break free from the patriarchal grip on our bodies and pleasure, we must take a step back and reconnect with a holistic view of health. Holistic health takes into account the entire person—body, mind, and spirit—allowing us to explore and nurture our physical, emotional, and sexual well-being in a way that feels true to who we are.
Embrace Self-Love and Body Positivity The first step in breaking free from patriarchy’s influence is to learn to love ourselves as we are. This means rejecting society’s narrow definitions of beauty and embracing the diversity of bodies, shapes, and sizes. Take time to appreciate what your body can do, not just how it looks. Engage in self-care practices that nourish your body, like eating nourishing foods, moving in ways that feel good, and giving yourself grace.
Take Ownership of Your Sexual Health Reclaiming your sexual health begins with education and awareness. Learn about your body and its needs—understand your anatomy, your menstrual cycle, and your pleasure zones. Speak openly about your desires with partners and medical professionals. You deserve pleasure, and you should never feel ashamed of that. Take control of your sexual health by seeking out resources, support groups, and therapists who can help you explore and celebrate your sexuality.
Focus on Mental and Emotional Well-Being Women's health isn't just physical—it's mental and emotional too. Practice mindfulness, therapy, and self-compassion to develop a deeper connection to yourself. Identify and work through any internalized societal expectations or shame related to your body or desires. The more you understand and accept yourself, the more you can live freely, embracing the full spectrum of your health and pleasure.
Break the Silence and Normalize Conversations Patriarchy thrives in silence. Let’s normalize conversations about women’s health, pleasure, and self-care. Share your experiences, listen to others, and advocate for more open discussions about women’s needs and desires. The more we speak out, the more we break down the walls of shame and create space for empowered, holistic health.
Conclusion: Reclaim Your Power
It’s time to reject the limiting, harmful narratives imposed on us by the patriarchy and redefine what it means to be a woman in today’s world. Our health and pleasure are ours to own, and when we reclaim our bodies, we reclaim our power. By embracing a holistic view of women’s health—one that includes self-love, sexual empowerment, mental well-being, and open conversations—we can break free from the constraints of the past and step boldly into our future.
Rebirth & Revival: 2025 Is Our Year to RISE
2025 is the Year of Transformation—are you ready to rise? In this deeply personal blog, I share my journey of healing, self-discovery, and stepping into my power. Introducing The Rebirth & Revival Project, a life-changing boudoir experience designed to help 10 incredible women shed what no longer serves them, reconnect with their divine femininity, and unleash their inner seductress.

Wow! We are already two months into 2025, and International Women’s Day is tomorrow.
This past year has been one of deep transformation for me—painful, eye-opening, and, ultimately, liberating.
I am preparing a project designed to help a women like you step into your power and reconnect with your true self with a mind-blowing, life-changing boudoir experience.
To start:
When I first began my boudoir journey, I felt compelled to hold back on who I really was. To hide my past and play it safe with my clients. I was so worried if clients knew I was once a Stripper that I would scare them all off. It has taken many years of growth, acceptance & trial and error for me to come to see that the more I show up as who I truly am for my clients, the better my work and my ability to help other women gets.
I have chosen to be authentically vulnerable with you, with the hope that, if this resonates with you, that you can heal, too.
A year ago I made the difficult decision to go no contact with four family members, including my parents and two siblings. It wasn’t a choice made lightly. It was a realization that after years of doing the work—digging into my trauma, healing, and growing—I was the only one trying. The only one flipping around like a circus monkey, desperately seeking validation, an apology, or even the smallest sign that my family wanted to heal with me. Instead, I was met with dismissiveness and gaslighting.
I feel the need to share this because many of us who experienced things like physical, sexual, or emotional abuse as children are afraid to talk about it because we think the shame is ours. It is not! You were a child and you were abused. It is part of your story, and that is all it will be. It may be a painful chapter of life, but it is not who you ARE. The only ones who are to blame, and should feel shameful, are the ones who caused you harm.
Let’s be real—if someone refuses to take accountability, dodges meaningful conversations, or expects you to forgive without any effort to change, that’s a red flag. It doesn’t matter if it’s a family member, a friend, or a romantic partner. The bottom line is this: we deserve healthy, loving relationships. Relationships where communication is welcomed, feelings are validated, and boundaries are respected.
However, society tells us a different story, doesn’t it? We’re fed this idea that “family is everything,” and that we should never walk away, no matter what. The same toxic message is pushed for marriages and even long-term friendships. But here’s what I’ve learned: not everyone is meant to stay in our lives forever. Some people are lessons, some are catalysts, and some are soulmates for a season.
This past year, as I truly opened my eyes to this, I saw how I wasn’t fully loving or honoring myself. That hit hard. Here I am, a boudoir photographer, constantly telling women to practice self-love, set boundaries, refuse to tolerate bad behavior, and always show up as you are—yet, I wasn’t fully embodying those words myself.
Between the disconnection from my family and losing both of my beloved dog children this January, I feel like I’ve been stripped down to my rawest self. But, through time, I feel reborn. Stronger than ever. Ready to shed the shame that was never mine to carry. Ready to step deeper than ever before into the depths of my true strength, and help other women do the same.
So, I’m launching something powerful. Something that will help you rise.
Introducing: The Rebirth & Revival Project
10 incredible women will be chosen to go on this next-level journey with me. Through a new video series, we will dive deep into shedding what no longer serves us, embracing our divine femininity, and stepping into the fullest version of ourselves. The video series will include videos on how to pose, while helping you learn to drop in and connect to your own body, intuition, creativity, and personal power.
When women learn how to connect with their bodies in the deepest, most feminine ways, we get to tap into our intuition, our creativity, our deeper knowledge. We can then start to uncover our true feelings. We can sort out the negative clutter in our heads and identify where is comes from and then we can let go of it. Once you know your truth, then you can start to use your voice. Women often play caregiver/peacekeeper roles, which is all fine, but not if that means your needs are never met and your boundaries are always being trampled.
I will also include videos on breath work, mirror affirmations, and other self-love rituals to help boost yourself up so high that you feel ready and empowered to slay during your shoot.
The photos in this blog are self-portraits. They are a representation of how I want all my clients to be able to express themselves during their time with me. I want you to feel free to express the pleasure and joy of being in your body. We all come in different shapes and sizes, so sure the photos will all look different. But we all have a cosmic seductress within us, My job is to help you find her, bring her out of the ashes, and witness her in all her glory.
2025 is the Year of the Snake—a year of transformation, shedding old skin, and stepping into new personal heights.

The Forgotten Goddesses: Reclaiming the Sacred Feminine in Art and History
Explore the lost stories of powerful female deities and how the rise of patriarchy has diminished the sacred feminine throughout history. Reclaiming these forgotten goddesses is an empowering journey to rediscover women's strength, wisdom, and divine power. This blog delves into the impact of these erasures and offers a path for embracing the sacred feminine in today's world.
Throughout history, women have been celebrated as goddesses and revered as symbols of fertility, strength, and wisdom. Ancient civilizations across the globe recognized the divine feminine in a way that elevated women beyond the boundaries of mere mortal existence. From the nurturing mother to the powerful warrior, goddesses were seen as embodiments of both creation and destruction—forces of nature that shaped the world around them.
However, as patriarchal systems emerged and took hold of societies, these once-venerated female deities were diminished, hidden, or outright erased. The divine feminine was stripped of its sacred status, and the portrayal of women in both art and religion shifted toward passive and submissive roles. This erasure of the goddess and the sacred feminine has had profound implications on our collective understanding of women and their power, both in spiritual contexts and within society at large.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the forgotten goddesses of history and explore how their erasure has shaped our perceptions of women, and how reclaiming the sacred feminine can empower us today.
The Sacred Feminine: A Global Tradition
From the very beginnings of human civilization, goddesses have played pivotal roles in the spiritual and cultural practices of various societies. Across continents and cultures, female deities were central to rituals, creation myths, and divine worship.
In ancient Egypt, the goddess Isis was revered as a goddess of love, magic, and motherhood. Often depicted as the ideal mother and protector of the dead. She was seen as the mother of all creation, a symbol of life and rebirth, and a goddess who could transcend the boundaries of death itself. In Greece, the goddess Demeter, symbolized the cycles of the earth, particularly agriculture and fertility, and her grief at the abduction of her daughter Persephone embodies the seasonal changes of nature. In India, the goddess Durga, represents strength, power, and protection. Often depicted riding a lion or tiger, wielding weapons, and conquering demons.
The role of these goddesses extended far beyond religious worship. They were often at the heart of social and cultural life. Women as goddesses were celebrated not only for their nurturing qualities, but for their power, wisdom, and independence. They were not passive figures but active participants in the forces of creation, destruction, and transformation.
The Rise of Patriarchy and the Suppression of the Sacred Feminine
As civilizations grew more structured and patriarchal systems took hold, the central role of female deities began to shift. Ancient religions that once celebrated the feminine began to demote or replace their goddesses with male gods who were positioned as supreme rulers. In patriarchal societies, the divine feminine was seen as a threat to male dominance, and women’s roles were relegated to domestic and subservient spheres.
In the Greek and Roman pantheons, female deities like Artemis and Athena were overshadowed by male gods like, Zeus and Apollo. The nurturing, powerful, and independent qualities of goddesses were replaced with qualities of submission, passivity, and chastity. The image of women as divine beings was not only diminished but redefined to fit patriarchal norms. Women in mythology were no longer depicted as creators of life and death. Instead, they were shown as objects to be protected, owned, or controlled.
The erasure of female deities from the mainstream religious and artistic consciousness was not just a result of religion, but of cultural shifts as well. Art, literature, and philosophy began to reflect these changing attitudes toward women. The portrayal of goddesses as powerful, sexual, and autonomous beings gave way to depictions of women as passive objects of male desire. The rise of Christianity in Europe further diminished the divine feminine. The Virgin Mary, while revered as the mother of Christ, was a symbol of purity and chastity, traits that limited her potential to reflect the full spectrum of womanhood.
This shift didn’t just affect the portrayal of women in religious contexts. It affected the way society viewed the very essence of womanhood. The divine feminine, once seen as sacred and vital, was reduced to a secondary, passive role, and in many cases, disappeared from collective consciousness.
Reclamation of The Sacred Feminine
In recent decades, there has been a renewed interest in rediscovering and reclaiming the sacred feminine. The feminist movement, along with a growing awareness of the importance of spirituality and self-empowerment, has sparked a reawakening of the divine feminine. Women are beginning to recognize that their power, wisdom, and creativity are not only rooted in their physical bodies but also in their connection to the divine.
This reclamation can be seen in various forms. From the rise of goddess spirituality and neo-paganism to the use of art, literature, and popular culture as mediums for celebrating the feminine divine. Writers, artists, and spiritual leaders are exploring the mythology of goddesses who have been forgotten or overlooked. Figures like Kali, Hecate, and Aphrodite are once again being honored as embodiments of female strength, beauty, and wisdom.
Goddess-centered spirituality has gained traction as women seek to reconnect with their inner power and divine essence. By reclaiming the stories of goddesses, women are reclaiming their right to be whole, powerful, and sacred. This movement also acknowledges that the divine feminine is not just for women. It is a force that can inspire and empower all people, regardless of gender, to connect with the deeper aspects of their humanity.
Art As A Tool For Reclaiming the Sacred Feminine
Art plays a crucial role in this reclamation of the sacred feminine. Through visual and performing arts, women are asserting their right to define their own narratives and express their divine power. Contemporary artists are creating works that reclaim goddess archetypes, challenging the stereotypes and limitations imposed by centuries of patriarchal influence. Artists like Judy Chicago and her famous installation The Dinner Party, or contemporary performance artists like Ann Hamilton, are revitalizing the goddess archetype and empowering women to see themselves as creators, warriors, healers, and lovers. These artists, among many others, are using art to show that women’s divinity and power are alive and vibrant in the world today.
Reclaiming Our Power
Reclaiming the sacred feminine is not just about rediscovering the goddesses of the past but about reconnecting with the divine power that resides within all women. It’s about shedding the layers of societal conditioning that have kept women in subservient roles, and embracing the full range of our identities as both creators and destroyers, nurturers and warriors.
It’s about acknowledging that the divine feminine is not just a relic of ancient mythologies but a living, breathing force that exists in all of us. Whether through our creativity, our sexuality, or our capacity for love and compassion, women can create and transform the world in profound ways.
By reclaiming the forgotten goddesses, we are not only honoring the divine feminine, we are also honoring ourselves, our strength, our wisdom, and our place in the world. It is time to bring the sacred feminine back into our consciousness. To embrace the divine power that has always been ours. To celebrate the richness and depth of womanhood as the world’s most sacred force!
The forgotten goddesses of history offer us more than just stories—they offer us a roadmap to reclaim the divine feminine within ourselves. By remembering these powerful female deities, we can rediscover the sacredness of womanhood and redefine what it means to be a woman in today’s world. It’s time to honor the women who have come before us. Who shaped art, spirituality, and culture. To continue their legacy of strength, wisdom, and divine power. The sacred feminine is not forgotten. It is alive, and it is ours to reclaim.
