Did you grow up calling your genitals some variation of va-jay-jay or some other gibberish? Maybe you didn’t even have a singsong word to refer to your genitals as. Maybe you just motioned and said “down there.” So, of all the words and gestures available to us, why say “pussy”?
Well, my beautiful radiant goddess: naming matters. How can we take seriously what we don’t have a proper name for? And, most importantly, one that we can use with respect, love, pride, ownership, and endearment… AND one that isn’t scientific or only refers to a portion of the female genitals and not the whole.
In today’s episode, I’m taking a deep dive into nomenclature and sharing exactly why I choose to say “pussy” and not other words like “vagina,” “vulva,” and “yoni.”
Saying “Pussy” Heals
Saying “pussy” isn’t just a part of the healing process, it drives the healing. If you choose to step out into the wilderness with us wild goddesses, especially if you had an upbringing like mine (check out my full story in episode 5 – From Chastity to Tantrica: My Ascension into Wildness), saying “pussy” will completely rock your world. Everything that you had neatly tied up in a pretty bow will be cracked wide open. What you thought you desired and what you thought you knew will be flipped on the head.
This is a journey back to YOU, Dragoness. And this is the first step. It’s simple. It’s profound. It may even scare the shit out of you. It’s this: Say “pussy.”
