Intimacy



“Intimacy is seen as a sacred act and must be treated as such; it must happen within a sacred context. Intimacy is not just about pleasure. It is also about creating a healing energy from which the world can benefit — or from which you and your family can benefit.
In the Dagara tradition, we do a ritual called the “Ash Circle”. Take some ashes and say some prayers for what you would like to have happen in your intimate space. After making this circle, call on all spirits who can help you keep your intentions clear. Prepare this space so it truly may be a healing space. Then create a shrine and invite your partner to see it”.

What kind of ashes do you use?
You can use any ashes you have taken with respect from nature and that you have made prayers over. It could be from a piece of wood you have burned for another positive purpose.
