   Each of those descriptions above are fitting in a sense of what my writing will reflect.
   
   As the Moon has risen, so have I.
   
   Over the last few years I have been on quite a journey of self discovery.
   
   Not one to adhere to social norms for the sake of keeping up appearances I sought to explore myself Physically, mentally, spiritually and sexually and on my path to self discovery found my place as an individual and a member of society.
   
   At the center of this I have learned to embrace my femininity as I experience it.
   
   I have found deep spiritual connection between my Physical, Mental and spiritual aspects through embracing all of who I am.
   
    My light, my dark, my happiness, my pain, the joy, my fears and my love and through it I have become significantly more aware of who I am, where I am, what I am.............I am Woman. I am Mahina. I am maddona, I am the whore, I am a Priestess and I am Divine.
   
   
   My blog is a thought catalog of many things, among a main theme of exploring and expressing life experiences of death, pain, grief, power, happiness and freedom  and how sexuality opened me up to healing.  I will also be taking a broader view on the  impacts of sexual energy on self, on society and on relationships and its power in suppression and growth.
   
   I hope you enjoy coming along on this journey with me and i hope you too find your own divinity.
