What if the most essential part of the Christmas story—the part that holds the key to your own transformation—has been hiding in plain sight all along? This episode explores why silence isn't just peaceful, it's holy, and how the winter solstice reminds us that after the peak of darkness, light returns. 

But there's also a deeper truth woven through both priestess traditions and Christianity that's been quietly overlooked: the feminine principle that made the birth of light consciousness possible. Without understanding this, we miss the entire blueprint for how transformation actually happens—not through chasing more light, but through becoming a clear vessel that can hold this expansiveness of love.

What You'll Discover:

• Why silence has become a "simple treat" we've been conditioned to avoid—and what happens when we reclaim it
• The difference between the darkness that causes more pain, and the darkness that expands love.
• The soil principle: what every crop knows about darkness that we are being guided to embrace
• How spiritual superiority and righteousness actually disguise fear, hate, and avoidance—and how to catch yourself in this pattern
• The golden age awakening that happens when you see with "the eye of your heart" instead of judgment

From a priestess and psychotherapist perspective, Mary wasn't chosen because she was a virgin in the way we've been taught to understand it. She was chosen because of her pure heart—her willingness to be a vessel through which consciousness could enter the world. And yet, the feminine principle she represents—the devotion to go into the darkness, to clear what stands in the way, to purify the vessel with love—has been largely unrecognized. 

This matters for your transformation because it reveals the truth: light consciousness can only be born through the feminine path of descent. You must go into the darkness, into the silence, into the crevices where fear remains, and transmute it to greater love. This is what prepares you to hold more light. Without the feminine's willingness to descend, to sit in stillness, to meet the darkness with the eye of the heart, the light you're chasing will have nowhere to land. The Christmas story, of course, is about the light consciousness Christ brings to the world.  However the story is incomplete without including the feminine who made it all possible.

And how the whole point is that the same process is your invitation as well.
