Series: The Sacred and the Sensual
by Rosalind Green
“The sacred is not what we keep apart — it’s what we dare to feel fully.”
The Thread That Binds
Every story in this series began in a different place — a temple, a tomb, a dream — but each spoke the same language.
The High Priestess held it in silence.
Lilith screamed it into freedom.
Isis whispered it through devotion
Hathor danced it into joy.
Freyja wielded it through magic.
Mary Magdalene anointed it into memory.
Aphrodite painted it across the world.
Inanna descended to find it in the dark.
Each woman carried the same thread: the understanding that creative, erotic, and spiritual energy are the same current wearing different faces.
The Rupture and the Return
When the body was exiled from holiness, the world forgot how to listen. Spirituality became ascension — up and away, leaving behind the pulse of the flesh, the weight of grief, the rhythm of breath.
But the sacred never left the body; it waited there, quiet.
These women — gods, archetypes, and saints — are not separate myths. They are memories of the same truth told through different mouths:
that touch can heal, that desire can guide, that knowledge can come through pleasure as easily as through pain.
To reclaim them is to reclaim the self as temple.
The Artist as Priestess
To create is to join their lineage. Every painter, writer, lover, musician — every person who lets feeling become form — steps into their circle.
Art is modern ritual. The canvas, stage, or screen is the new altar. The offering is presence.
Through creation, we re-enact the same mystery these women embodied: turning longing into meaning, and beauty into prayer.
The artist is the contemporary priestess of sensual truth — unafraid of contradiction, willing to hold ecstasy and ache in the same hands.
The Living Continuum
Sacred sensuality didn’t end with mythology; it continues in the modern imagination. It moves through relationships, music, movement, and altered states — through everything that makes a person feel more alive.
To walk this path is to practice remembrance: that holiness is not a state of purity but a state of presence.
The divine feminine is not a category — it’s a pulse, a frequency that keeps remaking the world. It’s what happens when the heart, the mind, and the body stop fighting and start listening.
The Invitation
The circle is open, not closed.
The next stories will not only belong to goddesses, but to the creatures that surrounded them — the guardians, the monsters, the angels — the beings who carried the weight of our projections about desire and divinity.
Because where gods and humans meet, mythic beings always appear — half human, half animal, half light, half shadow.
They show us what happens when the sacred refuses to stay in one shape.
This work continues there.
