For thousands of years, women have been cast into one of two roles: the virgin or the whore.

Most people see them as polar opposites, as two parts that could never be one. On one side is a woman who is “marriage material.” On the other side, a seductress who elicits fantasy and desire but lives outside the bounds of respectable society.

But in this episode, we’re going to illuminate the truth – we are both of these all at once, and so much more.

Tune in for a history lesson in the virgin and the whore and find out which parts of the story have been left out.

Listen to this episode to hear about:

• The root of the words, “virgin” and “whore” and what they tell us about women’s sexual power
• Steps people can make to heal the divide and embrace a full range of sexual expression
• Our personal experiences with being labeled one or the other, and how we broke out of those one-dimensional cages
• Why the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene were both misunderstood in their expression of the virgin and whore archetypes
• Different types of experiences that people can attend to expand their expression of sexuality and embrace more of their wholeness, including our own Worshipper erotic ritual theatre (our next show is on October 19 and will cover the story of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the Virgin Mary)
