Alex Tsakiris: On this episode of Skeptiko. A show about the darkness and light of sexuality.

[00:00:09] Dr. Joanna Kujawa: I just decided to focus on sexuality because there is so much darkness around it. So I said, okay, why don’t I address it? Why don’t I bring it into light? Like they wanted to demean, for example, Martin Mandela and on other goddesses. And then the, my question is why there must be some liberating power in it and we have to claim it, but in our own way, not for darkness, but for love.

Alex Tsakiris: And why we might want to be suspicious. Of spiritual intermediaries.

[00:00:38] Clip: I, as an ordained person with an indelible mark can make. Holy communion is what separates you from me. So for instance, . If you’re gay and you’re not absolutely chased and celebrate you, can’t go to. If you vote for somebody who, uh, approves of abortion, you can’t go to communion according to some. So it’s become a kind of a politicized.

For thinking the right way. Stick around for my interview with the very excellent doctor Joanna Kohavi.

[00:01:12] Alex Tsakiris: Welcome to skeptical where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers and their critics.

I’m your host, Alex Securus. And today we welcome Dr. Joanna to skeptical. She’s here to talk about this book that I’ve pulled up on the screen, Mary Magdalen, and the goddesses of arrows and secret knowledge.

Joanna. It’s awesome to have you here. Thanks so much for joining me on skeptical.

[00:01:41] Dr. Joanna Kujawa: Thank you, Alex. I’m delighted to be here reviewed

[00:01:45] Alex Tsakiris: well, you know, we’ll see what you say at the end.

I’m sure we will. You know, I’ve been looking forward to this and the more I’ve dug into the book, the more I’ve really thought about so many things that I’d love to share and talk, and we’ve had some good emails back and forth, and I think we’ll have a fun spirited discussion, but a positive one. It’s like I said, you are my Dharma sister, man.

You’re into, you know, God, you’re into spirituality. You’re into all this cool stuff. Tell us a little bit about your background. I’m going to read a little bit before you do. I’m going to interrupt that I’m going to short circuit that. Excellent. Bye. People can check out your website and if they do, they’ll check out this very cool bio about.

Dr. Joanna and read a bunch of stuff. And there’s a little bit that I pulled out of there that I thought was really cool.
