In today’s episode, Lisa, Head Priestess of Temple of Divine Radiance, is back to talk about biblical womanhood from the perspective of El Shaddai, Goddess of Abraham. In our modern culture, women are often taught that subservience to the patriarch is the meat of biblical womanhood, however, Lisa presents a counter argument. We talk about the King-Goddess lore of the Bible, the fertility covenant that Abraham makes, & how the Dark Goddess is also portrayed in the Bible through Job. We discuss how the King-Goddess dynamic shows up in our intimate relationships & how women can act as the Goddess to their king lovers.
This episode (& Lisa’s work) is pivotal to the women who have deep yearning for the wisdom of the Bible, yet know throughout their whole body that the original teachings were not patriarchal.
Here’s the link to our first episode:
About Lisa:
Lisa Moriah is a priestess, shamanic practitioner, writer, drummer and ritualist originally from the United States, who divides her time between Harran in southeast Turkiye, and the lands of Central Asia that call to her nomad soul.
Her work and life are devoted to remembering Shaddai (often called El Shaddai by Jews and Christians), a Bronze Age goddess whom she believes was the original divinity of the Abrahamic covenant.
Her devotional specialities include frame drumming and vocal sound prayers; drawing religious “herstory” from traditional sacred texts; and facilitating inner alchemy and sacred union between the feminine and the masculine.
Each year, Lisa Moriah offers priestess activations and goddess initiations for people who want to recover the goddess roots of their Jewish, Christian or Muslim religious heritage. Currently her events and experiences are available online. In-person events in Harran, and hybrid opportunities, are coming soon.
Lisa Moriah is the author of four books: SHADDAI: Goddess of the Abrahamic Covenant; a book on Jewish chant as shamanic practice; and two on the Jewish origins of Maryam Magdalene. Learn more at schoolofdivineradiance.com or email her directly at hello@templeofdivineradiance.com.
