For millennia, we were told to repress our sexuality and were conditioned to see it as a shameful and dark part of ourselves. Traditionally, women were divided into ‘mothers’ or ‘harlots’ which left a permanent scar on our psyche. Dr Joanna Kujawa uncovers the lineage of goddesses who celebrated their erotic wisdom and were seen as portals between death and life, lower and higher consciousness. Find out how Mary Magdalene is at the center of her investigation, along with the goddesses of ancient Sumer, Egypt and esoteric Hinduism.
DR. JOANNA KUJAWA is the author of the bestselling book The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge’, scholar, and spiritual detective. She received her BA and MA from the Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada, and her PhD from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. As an active academic for over 20 years, she uses her scholarly training to investigate topics other academics often pass over, such as: Can spirituality and sexuality be experienced as one? Who was the real Mary Magdalene? Is there a lineage of Goddesses now resurfacing in our collective experience of spirituality?
Apart from her writings for academic publications on spiritual travel, Joanna has also had her short stories and essays published through various media and in many prestigious anthologies, including Best Australian Stories, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, She Rises and Rebelle Society. She is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Goddess Studies.
