The Descent Part 3
The descent process is ultimately deepening our connection to the divine through the earth and our body. However when a sustainable descent is truly beginning, it can seem boring and disconnected – like not much is happening. This is because the descent does not provide the same high or relief like the upper realms…
Choosing the Descent as Rebirth
You cannot control when the Descent calls you; when the Holy Mother summons you into her murky depths below the Earth. By Eliza When it is your time to go down, you will know. The world around you will be breaking. Your body and soul will hurt. Old connections will cease to exist and…
Descent Illuminates the True Light
I love how spirituality is turning with a fuller focus to The Descent. We know it is crucially needed for eyes to move inwardly and experience a conscious perception that reality has been a shadow. And we certainly are in shadowlands. We have been there for a long time. The spiritual war of material…
Shamanic Journey with a Brown Recluse Bite
I was bitten last week by a darling Grandmother Weaver. She took form as a rare yet highly poisonous spider for the mountains I walk. It happened while I was sleeping. Out of my suitcase at the footboard of my bed and under my covers she crawled. She showed me the vision of…
A Student’s Descent Journey with Inanna
We are inspired to share a submission from a student in regards to our training on the Sophianic descent. We hope that this post shows how the teachings from the school integrate and weave in with the very real day-to-day experiences in our lives. Students went on a descent journey with Inanna, held by the…
The Sacredness of Wild Initiation
Psilocybin is one of the most sacred materials and spiritual existences on this planet. Removing the inherent spirituality and rightful keepers of psilocybin equates to a genocide of our greatest ancestors. The mushrooms are not ours to colonize, legalize, or control in anyway. To completely remove them from that conversation is a great…

Student Symposium
Celebrate with Us! Our ceremonial students immersed within intensive Plant-Taught Sophianic Devotions in January of 2021. Their training continues until May 2023; but during Lion’s Gate Portal of this year, we are called to take a moment to share and bathe in the medicine that is becoming them. The Symposium is an online recital! It is…
Self Directed Ceremony Reflections
As part of our year long attunement with the mushrooms, each student is holding her own solo mushroom journeys. This is a reflection from my self directed ceremony on my birthday in the Huron Mountains of Michigan. By Carrie Poe, Song of Sophia Pilgrim The whisper and whir of the White Pine song overhead…
Christ is a Wild God by Eliza Máora
I will keep saying it, Christ is a Wild God. Do you remember when the giant artificial laser-lights first started to penetrate into the earthen core from off-plant technology? Do you remember the gridding etched into the rocks for off-planet “magnetic” purposes, forcing the earth to spin for “their” benefit? Do you…
