This month in the Shakti Sisterhood, weâre studying and embodying the fierce, holy story of Thecla, guided by Meggan Wattersonâs powerful new book, The Girl Who Baptized Herself. (I highly recommend both the printed and the audiobook!!)
Theclaâs story was beloved by early Christiansâespecially womenâbut later buried by the institutional Church because it threatened the rising patriarchal order.
Why? Because Thecla preached, baptized herself, refused marriage, and followed divine love over social expectation. She embodied spiritual sovereignty in a time when women had no rights, no property, and no power over their own bodies or lives.
Itâs important to understand the world she was living in because that context makes her transformation even more potent and relevant today.
In the 1st century...
Women were their husbandsâ property.
They couldnât own land.
They had no legal power.
A womanâs worth was determined entirely by men.
And yetâThecla becomes a template of transformation for any of us who have ever been told, or led to believe, that we are not worthy to be divine.
Meggan Watterson writes,
âWe are only ever as far from our power as we are from our own embodiment.â
Thecla shows us that true transformation doesnât begin with some heroic external journey.
She begins simplyâby going inward.
She stops. She listens. She asks herself:
⨠What are my deepest desires?
⨠What choice have I been making again and again, hoping for different results?
These are the questions we are living into this month, and they are the perfect questions to ask as we approach the peak of the Lionsgate Portalâa time of heightened energy, clarity, and cosmic support for heart-aligned transformation.
To honor this portal, Iâm offering a FREE Lionsgate PranaShakti Dance Activation Class on Friday, 8/8 at 9 am CDT (online).
Letâs move together. Letâs shift old patterns. Letâs activate our deepest desires in the light of this powerful cosmic gateway.
And if Theclaâs story stirs something deep in youâjoin us here in the Shakti Sisterhood. Weâre diving deep into her story all month long, embodying her courage, sovereignty, and divine connection through story, movement, meditation, and sisterhood.
With love,
Deb
