Today I get to sit back and have a conversation with a good friend of mine—fellow South African Jasmine Rose. As we dive into the duality of sexuality between the masculine and feminine, we break down the journey of the feminine to awaken both sides of her sexuality, from the forbidden to the wild woman.
We’ll also explore some of the challenges, and look at the work with cacao. Jasmine shares its essential components and how this sacred plant can support embodiment and heart-centered awakening. Jasmine runs the Mystical Temple Dance.
“Sacred sexuality is not about being desired—it’s about being divine in your own skin.”
“The dark feminine is not something to fear—it is the root of power, mystery, and manifestation.”
The feminine path is inherently mystical, intuitive, and aligned with the left-hand path traditions.
True sexual sovereignty arises from the integration of both light and dark aspects of the self.
Sacred sexuality is about embodiment, not performance or manipulation.
Cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine that facilitates emotional depth, self-awareness, and ritual presence.
Our emotions are a sacred guidance system—neither good nor bad, but meaningful.
Ceremony amplifies transformation by providing a container of safety, intention, and energetic holding.
Magic is the act of making life sacred through presence, intention, and reverence.
“When we repress one side of ourselves, the other emerges distorted. Wholeness is integration.”
“Sexual sovereignty begins the moment you stop making anyone else responsible for your pleasure.”
A lot of Jasmine’s work carries deep Egyptian symbolism. She shares that this isn’t just aesthetic, but an ancient connection—particularly the Isis lineage and the path of the rose. This connects to feminine sovereignty, magick, and the body as a divine portal. Her vision is a return to the sacred temple—the remembrance of women’s innate divinity and power.
This aligns beautifully with the draconian arts, which also trace back to Egyptian mystery traditions. In this lineage, the matured Kundalini is the dragon—awakening through the body, the shadow, and sexual power. The feminine, often misunderstood, was always the magical force of manifestation in ancient esoteric systems. The masculine is pure consciousness, but it’s the feminine that materializes.
Jasmine affirms that the feminine is the left-hand path. It is the path of the hidden, the dark, the mystery. True sovereignty isn’t about repression or indulgence—it’s the alchemical fusion of wildness and devotion, of the red river (primal sexuality) and the white river (pure devotional current). Both must flow together, like the caduceus of Kundalini. This is where sacred seduction becomes a spiritual act, not manipulation but magnetism.
In the tantric view, left and right hand paths weren’t about good or evil but position—the woman sat to the left. Any path centering feminine energy was thus considered left-hand. This includes working with sexuality as a spiritual force. The problem comes when distortion enters—when repression or manipulation replaces authentic embodiment.
True sacred sexuality is not performance—it is presence. It is choosing your partner from a place of sovereignty, not seeking completion or validation. Jasmine speaks about the difference between seductive manipulation and embodied magnetism. The latter arises when a woman has fully met and integrated her wild and devotional selves. She walks differently, lives differently, relates differently—not to gain power, but because she is power.
Women have long been trapped in the “white Shakti” mold—submissive, pure, owned. This repression causes the darker aspects to emerge distorted—through seduction, emptiness, control. But when both polarities are integrated, true power is born.
This isn’t an easy journey. It takes radical self-love and daily devotion. Jasmine emphasizes that wholeness arises from meeting every part of yourself and saying: I see you. I welcome you.
We discuss how this mirrors the masculine journey too—men often manipulate with money or status, women with sexuality, when disconnected from their essence. Real seduction is heart-led, an offering, not a bargain. It uplifts both, rather than playing carrot-and-stick games. Sexual sovereignty, in both men and women, is marked by the refusal to make anyone else responsible for their alignment or pleasure.
We then explore practices. Jasmine blends the sacred arts with tools like Taoist energy practices and cacao ceremony. She explains the difference between raw sexuality and manipulation. Embodied sexuality empowers every area of a woman’s life. It’s not about “getting” a man—it’s about radiating wholeness and choosing consciously.
We touch on the importance of ritual and discernment in partnership. Random or disconnected sexual encounters can damage your energetic matrix—especially during climax, when beliefs are deeply imprinted into the nervous system. The path of sacred sexuality involves psychological healing, intentional choice, and honoring the self.
Jasmine beautifully explains that sexual energy is not a transaction. It’s an invitation. And the sacred temple opens only to those in resonance.
We then delve into the sacred plant medicine of cacao. Unlike other psychedelics, cacao is a heart opener and embodiment ally. It doesn’t take you out of your body, but deeper into it. Jasmine calls cacao a gentle handmaiden—one who walks with you to the edge of your truth and softly asks, “Are you ready to jump?”
Cacao brings buried emotions to the surface and encourages us to feel and listen. Emotions are the soul’s compass—they reveal when we’re aligned and when we’re not. Depression, she says from her own experience, is often about powerlessness. But with cacao, emotions become a dialogue. A sacred ally, not an enemy.
Ceremonial cacao is not just a drink—it is a medicine. Preparing it is a ritual, like crafting a sigil. The intention, the space, the reverence all matter. You can drink cacao alone, but working with a spaceholder or facilitator amplifies the depth, helping you access layers you might not reach alone. The ceremonial grade cacao is unrefined, potent, and full of magnesium and theobromine—activating your physical and energetic heart.
Adam reflects on how magic itself is a form of sacred meaning-making. By bringing intention and presence into the ordinary—whether sex, cacao, or simple acts—we transform the mundane into the sacred.
Jasmine agrees: the magic is in the ritual. The energy you bring. The reverence. Sacred sexuality, like cacao, is about activating the God and the Goddess through presence.
As the conversation closes, Jasmine offers guidance for beginners: Be gentle with yourself. Slow down. Don’t rush to the goal. The journey is the magic. The emotions, the setbacks, the desires—all of it is a sacred unfolding. The key is to be present, embodied, and trust the greater intelligence moving through you.
Masculine structure creates goals. Feminine wisdom flows. Together, they create the dance of manifestation. Trust that something greater is always working in your favor—and let your magic move through the body of your life.
“Cacao is not a drink—it’s a key to the temple of the heart.”
“To make love is to awaken the God and Goddess within. It is an act of divine remembrance.”
“The journey is not about reaching the destination—it’s about learning to dance with the unfolding.”
