    The 4 Asteroid Priestesses in Astrology (And What Each One Means)

    Your birth chart can tell you a lot about your calling as a priestess and this episode breaks down how to read it. Tenae walks through Vesta, the asteroid at the center of priestess work, along with the sign, house, and planetary conjunctions that shape how devotion shows up for you specifically. She then introduces the four asteroid priestesses, Medea, Pythia, Phraene, and Iphigenia, each one mapping to a different expression of priestess work: shadow work, intuition, pleasure, and devotion to the divine. Key Placements to Explore: 🔥 Vesta is the single most important priestess placement in your chart, ruling ritual, devotion, and what you hold sacred🐍 Medea and the priestess of shadow work: reclaiming the rage and intensity you've been told is too much👁️ Pythia and the priestess of intuition: how you channel insight for yourself and for the people you serve🌹 Phraene and the priestess of pleasure: devotion to desire, beauty, and the erotic as sacred, not separate from it⚔️ Iphigenia and the priestess of devotion: why sacrifice and devotion are not the same thing, and how to be devoted without losing yourself Add all of these to your chart at www.astro.com in the Extended Chart Selection under Additional Objects.

    Why Pleasure Is an Essential Priestess Skill

    In the first official episode of The Sacred Pleasure Temple, Tenae marks the show's rebrand from The Empowered Modern Witches Show and lays out why pleasure is an essential priestess skill, period. She names that in our patriarchal society, we often believe devotion equals sacrifice, and reframes pleasure as a birthright rather than a reward. She walks through the four areas where she weaves pleasure into her own priestess practice: shadow work, intuition, ritual and devotion, and spirit work. Key themes: 🔥 Devotion doesn't equal sacrifice 🌙 Pleasure is a birthright, not something you earn after enough hard work 🕯️ Pleasure builds the resilience needed to do shadow work and move through the underworld 👁️ Trusting your body and your pleasure is inseparable from trusting your intuition ✨ Devotion to yourself first is how you deprogram patriarchal conditioning as a priestess Join Tenae for the Priestess Within Summit, August 3 to 6. Twenty free classes on claiming your priestess identity, facilitating ritual, and stepping into sacred leadership.

    How to center pleasure while living with chronic illness

    A personal and practical episode on what it actually looks like to center pleasure even when it feels like your body is working against you. I'm sharing about my IBS diagnosis and health journey, then breaking down my framework for the three types of pleasure: comfort, sensuality, and eroticism. I find that sensuality, specifically, is what makes it possible to live as both someone with chronic illness and someone who practices sacred pleasure every day. Key Topics: Why only talking about pleasure from a "privileged body" perspective leaves most people outThe three types of pleasure: comfort, sensuality, and eroticism as a spectrumWhy comfort is a radical, revolutionary act, not a consolation prizeThe distinction between sensual and sexual (it's in the word: senses, not sex)Sensuality as the bridge back to your body when your body feels like the enemyWhy dropping into your senses can sometimes open up access to eroticism you didn't know you had (if you want it to) Join us for the FREE Lover Within Summit on April 27-30, 2026 - it's a 4-day summit on pleasure, sensuality + sex magic to reawaken desire and reconnect with your body after grief, change, or burnout.

    I teach sex magic... but haven't had sex in over 2 months

    A raw, personal life update about the last few months - a big move, a breakup, living alone for the first time, and a 2+ month dry spell... all while deepening my work around pleasure and sex magic. (Whew!) I'm unpacking my own imposter syndrome around being somehow both too much and not enough to be teaching pleasure work while also redesigning my life, rituals, routines, and relationships from the ground up. I've been unraveling old desires, untangling what I thought I wanted, and redefining some of the words that have lost all meaning for me, (like romantic.) Key Topics: Moving into my own solo home for the first time everRealizing that my rituals weren't as much "mine" as I thought... even the one I've been doing for 10 yearsBeing in the creative, primordial goo and the overwhelm of making all the decisions for myselfWhy I haven't had sex in two months... and the imposter syndrome that has come with it as a "sex priestess"Join us for the FREE Lover Within Summit on April 27-30, 2026 - it's a 4-day summit on pleasure, sensuality + sex magic to reawaken desire and reconnect with your body after grief, change, or burnout.

    How desire strengthens intuition (and doesn’t undermine it)

    We're often taught that desire is something to mistrust - it's frivolous, selfish, and indulgent. But what if I told you that desire is just another form of intuition - a fiery inner spark of eros that's guiding you to your most honest and alive life? In this episode, we're letting desire lead the way! We're covering: ❤️‍🔥 Why the distrust of desire is rooted in purity culture (and not just in Christianity)❤️‍🔥 The difference between true desire and impulse or instant gratification❤️‍🔥 What desire actually feels like in the body❤️‍🔥 How erotic energy, (sometimes sexual, sometimes not), can be understood as intuition speaking If this conversation resonates, then the free Oracle Within Summit is for you. January 26–29, 2026 A free 4-day summit on intuition + divination Learn to connect with your intuition and cultivate self-trust so you can confidently make decisions that break the rules   📌 Link to join:  https://lupinehollow.krtra.com/t/hElbSwQ1DmCp

    4 times I thought I ruined my life... but my intuition was right all along

    In this episode, I'm sharing four personal stories of times I made an intuitive choice... and it seemed like it all went wrong. These are the stories we're most afraid of - the reasons we so often second-guess and doubt our own inner wisdom. Because we're afraid of making the "wrong" choice and losing stability, relationships, money, or comfort. We're afraid of having regrets. In this discussion, we're talking about why intuitive choices can sometimes feel so scary in the moment, recognizing the difference between intuition vs fear or anxiety, and my own examples of times I trusted myself... and it didn't go how I thought it would. We're covering: Choices about career and relationships Why intuitive actions sometimes cost us something (but they're still the right choices)How to step out of perfectionism and allow your journey to be your own - not a game you have to master or get "right"The Oracle Within Summit (FREE) January 26–29, 2026 A free 4-day summit on intuition + divination Learn to connect with your intuition and cultivate self-trust so you can confidently make decisions that break the rules   📌 Link to join: https://lupinehollow.krtra.com/t/hElbSwQ1DmCpAll-Access Pass (Optional Upgrade) Includes bonus resources, classes, and a brand new 7-day audio practice to help you learn to trust your body as part of intuitive trust.
