💌 Cast a Pleasure Spell with Us!

Published: Fri, 05/20/22

What does your soul crave, babe?

Embracing pleasure is a reverent act of self-love. When we pause for a moment of deep awe, notice a pull towards a joyful sensation, or intentionally invite energies we adore into our space, we're casting a spell of affirmation: that our soul's deepest cravings are sacred, and our bodies will always guide us back towards profound joy.

The stars are aligning, babes, and now is a particularly magical time to set intentions around your pleasure. On Saturday, May 28th, the Moon and Venus swirl through the constellation of Taurus. These two nocturnal planets shape our relationship to comfort, desire, and intimacy. In Taurus, these planets offer us an opportunity to super-charge rituals of connection, beauty, and embodied sensuality.

While the Moon and Venus are languishing in Taurus, so too is the North Node—an astrological point that tells the story of your soul's travels, desires, and deepest aspirations. As the North Node sails through the glimmering waters of Taurus, ask yourself:

What is my current relationship to abundance, sensuality, and pleasure?

What are my soul, my heart, and my body most hungry for now?

What nourishment is missing now, and can I offer myself the gift of gentle support while I seek out the tools I need?

Anchor yourself in exquisite, pleasure-full rituals during this time. We're here to guide you on this journey babe! On May 28th, we're gathering in community with astrologer and Venusian witch Taylor Ursula for a luxurious ritual-crafting intensive. Together, we'll be charging ritual tools during Venus and the North Node's transit into Taurus, exploring our own North Node and Venus placements through tarot, and grounding our collective intentions for this new season of abundance and pleasure through ritual-craft.

If you're feeling called to join us for this shift towards pleasure magic, we'll be gathering together from 12-2pm PST on Zoom.*

*10 FREE tickets available for our BIPOC community members on a first-come, first-served basis. Email us at events@seagrapeapothecary.com to reserve your spot!

*7 day workshop replay sent to everyone, whether or not you can make it LIVE!

Cultivating Pleasure Through Ritual

an excerpt from Taylor Ursula's guest blog

Ritual—the act of performing our desires for the spiritual or unseen realm we connect with—plays upon the divine notion that, that which we desire must be made known. There is magic to assigning words or gestures to our most treasured instincts and yearnings. There is alchemy when we create tangible gestures that connect with the space and time around us. While expressing what we carry so tenderly within ourselves can feel vulnerable, engaging in this practice strengthens our awareness of all that we carry, and supports our efforts to reach those dreams outside of ourselves. Much like a practice in gratitude, it is often the simple act of acknowledgement that allows the invisible fibers of our inner vision to begin to root into reality.

The beauty of ritual is that, while it has been adopted by various institutions, it is truly inherently individual—ritual need only speak to the person performing it, and need not be expected to fit all. Just as unique as each of our inner realms may be, so may be how we explore and anchor them for ourselves. One person’s practice may look wildly different from another’s, and the gods, no matter which you believe in, would want it no other way. To practice your unique divinity is to celebrate how you were created in this lifetime. With this in mind, crafting personal ritual can be cathartic and liberating! In fact, the very rituals we shape around the pleasure we crave can, and should, incorporate the experiences of pleasure we have now—the way to recognize we are experiencing incoming pleasure is by creating intentional pleasure for ourselves in the present. Each time we practice this, we actively build the roadmap to our destination.
