The Spiritual Design of Sex Work
by Alexander Formos

Nature has created two female archetypes of sex work, and they are different in their essence. These are essentially two distinct professions, but simultaneously, two necessary polarities, like two sides of one coin. We are calling one of them a “sexual priestess” and the other a “sacred prostitute.” As my soul lived both experiences, I can attest from my memories that even the bodies of these two women are designed differently on physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual levels. Both women perform different societal roles yet fulfill complementary psychological, spiritual, emotional, and sexual needs. Both have equally valuable and important missions, but these roles have entirely different challenges, so these women received distinctly unique personal skills and talents upon birth to be successful in their work. Nature also designed these women to walk a spiritual path as they learn how to practice their craft in the most empowered way. Through sex work, they gain supernatural powers like clairvoyance, heightened intuition, energy-healing talents, and oracle powers.

 

Both women are created upon birth to be the channels of divine, universal love, but if we try to explain the core of their essences in simple words, I would say that a sacred prostitute sells love through sex, while a sexual priestess sells love through relationships. In the ideal world, these two professions coexist and empower one another. Say, if we are building a temple for sexual healing arts, there should be a sacred brothel erected right next to it. 

 

In our present reality, we can say that commercial sex work of escorts, somatic bodyworkers, and intimacy coaches employs sexual priestesses, while sacred prostitutes work on the streets and in brothels, massage parlors, or strip clubs. Part of the experience of living the archetype of a sacred prostitute requires a woman to be driven to this work for survival. Such motivation is an integral part of her fate that she can’t avoid, but her challenges on this path and conflicting emotions associated with being dependent on this work or her clients temper her essence and nobility. They empower her to embody her highest truth through her unique spiritual journey. Being a whore is an initiation of a sacred prostitute into her second profession, which she is destined to assume later on her path, as she is essentially designed to live two different lives, and both careers are her highest purposes on Earth in such a life. She learns about people and herself through sex work so she can shine brighter in her other profession.

 

Sexual priestesses usually have a fate with a lifelong dedication to the craft, either as a provider or a teacher. In contrast, sacred prostitutes always have limited time in their sex career (with the period usually outlined on a soul level), as it’s a more energetically draining craft. Sacred prostitute processes more masculine darkness in her work, but the spiritual void in her womb was gifted to her at birth specifically for this challenge, allowing Nature to eliminate dark masculine energies through her to prevent any violence or destruction. The destiny of a sacred prostitute implies experiencing more instances of abuse and submission compared to a sexual priestess, as well as enduring sex against the will in order to survive. In the life of a sacred prostitute that my soul experienced, even the instances of rape that Astarte experienced were designed by Nature as a part of her initiations into the full power of her psychic abilities.

 

The saddest thing about present-day sex work is that this consumerist society produced a third archetype that is not supposed to exist in the world. Now, we have women who engage in sex work because they believe they need luxury shoes and purses to discover themselves or magically become better than others. Only these women are not authorized by Nature to perform sex work. Their bodies are not designed to process the energies that accompany this craft. If the body of a woman, for example, was created to live the life of an archetypical mother, then her womb doesn’t have a void to absolve masculine darkness, and her psyche can only handle intimacy with one man at a time. Therefore, she can’t process the emotional reality of having multiple lovers. So, these complicated emotions would be suppressed in her subconscious mind, leading to psychological and emotional traumas and, most likely, to a soul dissolution. 

 

Such women burn out and destroy their aura very quickly because they don’t understand that sex work is a calling of a soul, not an opportunistic choice to elevate their social status or receive validation from powerful men through sex and access to special or secret events. They naively think that sex work is an easy profession that brings easy money, but they only damage their souls and their energy bodies in the process. These women also taint society’s perceptions of sex work, as they are prostitutes in the worst meaning of this word. They are not interested in understanding their essence and using this profession to escape the natural purposes of their souls. Society mainly perceives sex workers in negative ways because of these women. They are trying to hijack reality and bypass their destined challenges in life with the help of corrupt men.

 

Nature is actively working to weed out such sex workers in one way or the other, as these women make the life of authentic whores more challenging by ruining the natural balance of offerings. Nature can do it in many ways, but for example, my job is to be the eyes of the Spirits on the ground. If I encounter such a provider, I always report my observations to the Spirits, who decide how they would like to punish such a woman. But these women usually punish themselves because they sacrifice their highest destiny and their mental health (as the unprocessed emotions in the form of nightmares and anxieties would hunt them for years to come) for some meaningless trinkets they can brag about on social media. And any wealth they may have accumulated through this work, bypassing their destined path, would be inevitably taken away from them in one way or another.

 

If we are talking about my spiritual initiations performed in the ancient traditions of temple arts, they were only possible through commercial sex work. The arrangements that can be potentially built with escorts or intimacy coaches are the closest representation of the traditional temple work of ancient civilizations. Selling relationships was the highest art practiced by sexual goddesses because relationships are the fastest way for people to grow spiritually. Every type of sex work has its inner complexities, dynamics, and challenges. There’s a certain element of privilege in these kinds of sex work, but that privilege comes with more demanding professional integrity and higher responsibility for the well-being of a client (obviously, the price of engagement should reflect that). The natural challenges and complications of building a relationship start to get involved. Yet, the complexities of communication and explorations of different types of sessions become an essential part of the sexual healing journey both for a client and a provider.

 

People on the path of spiritual development crave complex and authentic relationships in different forms and with various people because they know how much they advance in their truth through building relationships with the divine polarity. In that sense, relationships can be seen as the highest commodity on the path of spiritual awakening, and sexual priestesses were aware of that at all times.  Sexual energy exchanges occur in many different forms during the healing journey with a client, not only through the act of sex. Creating authentic relationships and teaching how to build them was one of the main programs in temples of sexual healing arts. It is a true definition of intimacy coaching. Such settings imply a certain level of trust and respect, as there's a possibility to explore the complex dynamics that always emerge between two unique people when they engage in relationships and discover a deeper level of intimacy beyond sex itself.

 

People who present sex work as a fun way to escape everyday troubles, secretly cheat on their spouses, or make it only about physical pleasures devalue the magic of this craft, embolden critics, and push away noble clients who seek true growth through the exploration of subtle, spiritual human bodies. It’s pretty disrespectful to assume that men see sex workers only to have sex. There are too many reasons why seeing an escort may be the only option for a man to connect with a woman. 

 

Men seek companionship in hopes of receiving the energies of female nourishment, care, and inspiration so they can discover more confidence in their destined work and energize themselves to continue on their highest path by honoring the perceptions and advice of a woman. Men might not be able to talk through their emotions with their friends or a regular therapist but may find it easier to work through their issues in the sessions with a sexual priestess. It’s also often the case when a man doesn’t have a single woman in his life who can provide him a non-judgemental space to discuss his ideas for work, challenge his truth in empowering ways, or help him understand himself better through explorations of desires or fulfillment of certain erotic or sensual needs. Or, like in my case, a man may be required to walk a part of his masculine journey alone and have to be spiritually initiated through the magic of sexual healing arts.

 

I’m arriving at a session with a sexual priestess, having an aspiration to discover myself through openness to life and intuitive, devotional interactions with a unique woman who hopefully honors my truth like I’m honoring hers. I enjoy such settings as I don’t need to pretend to be someone I’m not, and I don’t need to lie. I would claim that any lies remove the sacredness from the bedroom. So, in that sense, an intimate encounter with a sexual priestess is more sacred in nature than any casual sex or one-night stand (as such arrangements can be only secured with lies) because both lovers can clearly state their intentions for the interaction before proceeding with any intimacy.

 

I believe that the highest sexual healing is only possible when I can be emotionally open and vulnerable in exploring the intricate complexities of our personal, evolving relationship, uniquely created for only two of us. ​The rules of engagement with a sexual priestess could only be determined through honest dialogue, as the bedroom is her territory, and she should invite a man into her temple only on her preferred conditions, boundaries, and pacing. The explorations of relationships could be more nuanced when both partners work on emotional connection and clear communication over several sessions while building trust and learning about each other’s personalities and bodies. Conversations and social interactions in such settings may provide deeper healing. Learning to honestly talk about personal perceptions of intimacy and clearly express arising sensations becomes part of the healing journey for a client. So there’s an aspiration to be met in your truth, accepted for who you are, and maybe even have some room to fail if the feelings become too confusing for one of the partners. Therefore, avoiding damaging a client is the only ethical aspect that truly matters in this work.

 

A sexual priestess is confident of meeting their clients in everything that they are. If we are talking about empowering temple work, there’s an expectation that a client may fall in love with a priestess to achieve the goals of his healing or receive the initiations into destined spiritual talents. There are two main requirements that any woman needs for sex magic to work - she has to feel absolutely safe in her everyday life and surroundings (that’s why the personal temple space is so essential for a sexual priestess to feel empowered in this craft) but also feel loved or at least appreciated by a partner. So, it’s impossible to expect the highest result from sex work if a client does not have some honest feelings for a provider (at least a crush or admiration). A sexual priestess knows that she is lovable for every facet of her being; she expects clients to be infatuated by her essence, personality, and body. She is a goddess of love, after all, so surely she should be aware that men easily fall for her.

 

When meeting with a sexual goddess, I always hope to hear her honest opinions, insights, testaments, perspectives, and passionate disagreements during our time together. I aspire to experience a genuine interaction with a woman who is confident in her truth. I wish to be challenged by a free and empowered woman, as that’s how I discover hidden parts of my being, grow in my talents, receive new spiritual knowledge, and learn to avoid the pitfalls of my masculine ego. I only discovered the most profound truths about the essence of life through open dialogue and inspiring debates. 

 

It’s a pity when a goddess thinks she should silence her opinion, pretend to be an object, or say what she believes a man wants to hear from her. It is not her job to create a fantasy for clients (only if they both decide to explore their connection through role play and agree on such a path in advance). Men visit her because she knows more about life, love, relationships, and sex than most women. A goddess respects herself too much to lie and manipulate her clients, as she also intends to grow and heal through any relationships that Nature blesses her (and Nature loves challenging sex workers on their path for their highest growth as she knows they can handle it). 

 

A true magician can receive spiritual seals through study and practice, but there’s also a way to embody these divine energies through sex magic based on true love and explore them through inner awareness. This magic doesn’t work if partners are not in love with each other. The embodiment of divine, heavenly deities or ascended masters is the highest purpose and the primary pursuit of sex magic. Through a spiritual and erotic adventure with a sexual priestess over a series of sessions, a client embodies a specific archetypical light of a particular God-Goddess. Any highest spiritual explorations of sex imply learning about such a path if we are talking about sexual alchemy, either in Tantric, Egyptian, Celtic, Toltec, or any other ancient traditions. 

 

Allowing gods to take over the body through lovemaking rituals is the highest aspiration of sexual exchanges and the most advanced spiritual work available through sexual healing arts. The main benefits arrive through integration after sexual rituals, which may take months of personal work through explorations of another essence and personal acceptance. An initiate observes life from a completely different point of view, almost like becoming an entirely different soul for a period of integration.

 

The love story of two physical people actually becomes a love story between divine deities. So, for an initiate of the temple arts, the sessions with a sexual priestess turn into a love affair with the Goddess that lives through her. Therefore, it doesn’t matter what kind of a session a client would have with a sexual priestess - a sexual encounter, a dinner date, or just a friendly walk in a park - each of these dates would unfold by natural design in the ways that gods would choose to live through these two particular lovers, who have unique souls. 

 

A sexual priestess also follows the natural flow of the connection (allowing a client to highlight different facets of her essence), as each client embodies a different divine archetype and, therefore, would interact with her in the ways that his essence commands, consequently making her shine differently with every client. Gods overtake the bodies of initiates, but partners can observe, digest, and embody the facets they find empowering for them. Any spiritual seal contains both feminine and masculine energies of the same light, as they co-exist in union and essentially represent one divine frequency or essence, experiencing separation only to complement each other.

 

That’s why a magician can’t complete all spiritual initiations with one woman: a mystical initiate must experience what it’s like to live as various gods (as if becoming a soul with an entirely different life purpose and embodying another divine light). Therefore, an initiate would need to find a woman with a soul that carries the light of the consort Goddess of any ascended deity or master they are required to work with on their path of self-mastery into any craft they are destined to pursue in life. For example, if a man has a fate to govern others, it’s important for him to work with Horus; for a military man, it may be valuable to work with Seth; if he is destined to write or share knowledge, then he might explore the connection with Thoth and so forth (of course these can be deities from other lineages representing the same divine skills or essences).

 

An initiate must commit to an intimate journey with a woman who carries the light of Isis if he wishes to receive the seal of Osiris-Isis. Obtaining the seal of Horus-Hathor would be only possible through a woman with a Hathor’s soul, and so forth… So, if we are talking about a temple of sexual arts in its ultimate design, it should employ women with archetypical souls of every important Goddess so that any initiate has an opportunity to experience an intimate journey in one safe space instead of searching through the city or even province to find a goddess they need. That’s why people in ancient times revered sexual healing artists as goddesses; they knew that the souls of such women represented and embodied the divine energies of different Goddesses. Again, there was no shame or judgment of this craft because there was no spiritual ignorance.

 

While an initiate experiences a spiritual journey with a sexual priestess, the soul receives the magical talents of a particular deity to advance in their spiritual growth. Through my explorations, I learned that it requires a series of sessions and at least six months of personal spiritual work to receive and fully embody any spiritual seal. The Spirits requested that I embody six spiritual seals as part of my shamanic education to receive the talents that would get me where they wished me (and make me the best version of myself). But even a journey with two or three different Goddesses would advance any man on their path to noble empowerment and higher purpose.

 

Sexual priestesses are in the business of selling relationships because a man needs time to experience any divine Goddess so he can understand her essence and observe the facets of her truth in his being while opening himself up to experience the masculine light of the same nature. He must spend time with her in different ways, on different days, and when she’s in different moods, as that’s the only way to face the Goddess in all of her glory. She becomes his true consort and challenges him as if she is his destined wife for the time they are together. Of course, we have to understand that a sexual priestess should be initiated into her natural, archetypical goddess energy of her own soul to perform this work (if she is honest with herself and walks her spiritual path with integrity, then Nature would present her with these initiations even without her awareness as it happened with my soulmates). That’s another reason why the temple spaces are essential for the empowering future of sexual healing arts, as, without initiations, this magic can never be truly embodied, and a sexual priestess may stay only a woman who sells sex or her company.

 

In ancient Egypt, during the most advanced period of that unique civilization, sexual healing artists were considered nobility and had their own magical temples to perform this sacred work. Whores were reverenced and admired for their unique talents because people still believed in the divine order of Nature and honored life in all of its manifestations. Sexuality and spirituality existed in the balanced union to assist people in reaching divine planes of consciousness and elevate them on their paths toward their highest purpose.

 

In the temples of sexual healing arts, sexual priestesses initiated men into their king's energy and transmuted negative vibrations through the magical void of their supernatural wombs. They alchemized the harshest pains, released stress, resolved emotional distress, and absolved masculine darkness to protect the world from destruction. They healed wounds of past lives and charged the energy bodies of their clients through sex magic. They revived marriages, empowered merchants, advised politicians, uplifted traumatized soldiers and inspired artists and engineers with incredible creations. They illuminated the world with magic, beauty, and joy. I simply knew that in all of human history, whores magically enriched the world with their sacred wombs and radiating hearts, so the spiritual ignorance and religious prejudice of Canadian society meant nothing to me.

 

​The way society perceives sex work shows its level of spiritual awareness about the nature of life. One can understand everything about the maturity of a nation by learning the opinions on sex work and general perceptions of sexuality, as well as by studying the personal stories of sex workers. Sexual energies are the most powerful energies available to humans, and they can either enrich or destroy us. In any genuinely advanced culture, sexual healing arts are always at the forefront of society and are always accessible to everyone for healing, spiritual awakening, and personal empowerment. 

 

There’s no shame or judgment because there’s no ignorance. There’s a universal understanding that suppressed sexuality would inevitably turn into a destructive force and create unnecessary damage to individuals and society. People turn to perversions, hedonism, and inner corruption when their natural sexual needs are not explored in empowering ways. It was also self-evident that the highest advancement in knowledge, science, business, creativity, and spirituality can only be achieved through the magic of sexual alchemy, where two opposite polarities join in energy exchanges of sex magic so they can reach divinity and co-create something bigger than themselves.  ​

 

Throughout human history, tyrannical societies and oppressive ideologies shamed sex and, especially, female sexual pleasures, as that was the easiest way to enslave people. But men and women don’t need self-appointed, fanatical, and dogmatic intermediaries to connect them with the divinity when they have sex magic. People can access the God-Goddess energies and reach the highest planes of consciousness through explorations of female pleasures because Nature designed women to be actual, legitimate pastors for divinity. 

 

Orgasmic collisions empowered by love liberate humans and charge their auras so that fear and anxiety can never penetrate them. Sexual healing helps them to shine with their highest truth, embrace their essence, live in their power, and act from the heart. It’s impossible to control someone’s sense of sovereignty and inner feeling of freedom when their auras are spiritually enriched and energetically protected through sexual alchemy and empowered explorations of sexual desires.

 

Experiencing at least one life as a sex worker is an obligation on the path of any soul that embodies the archetypical light of any divine Goddess that governs the expressions of human sexuality, love, and death, like Isis, Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Nephtys, Hathor, etc. or Goddesses of the similar essences from other cultures and lineages. By following their spiritual path, sexual priestesses are destined to explore unique nuances of feminine experience through their craft, heal the burdens of their society, and help stranded souls embrace their essence.

 

Beyond the soul’s destined obligation to experience a life of a whore, it’s also important to understand that each body is born on a spectrum of sexuality,   with drastically different sexual needs, intentionally designed in such a way by Nature to fulfill special purposes. As most people embody sexual energies in the middle of the spectrum and closer to the asexual polarity, it’s challenging for them to understand the motivations of highly sexual people. Hence, they tend to perceive the natural sexual expressions of highly sexual people as promiscuity, lust, or a lack of inner discipline and morals. 

 

Only judging a highly sexual person for having multiple lovers is like judging an asexual person for not desiring sex at all. It’s completely impossible to explain the needs of one body when another person lives in vastly different sensuality, sensibility, and sensitivity because of the soul’s highest choices. People are born different because we all have our roles to play in this magical theatre of life, and like everyone else, both asexual and highly sexual people have a higher purpose in life behind their seemingly unordinary and complex nature.

 

Many shamans, energy healers, spiritual instructors, massage therapists, and other similar professionals are gifted with highly sexual energies to channel the required healing for their clients. They do not have sex with clients, but they do sex work on soul and energy body levels. My personal healing practices, like the art of dreaming, energy body healing, or death journeys, also require having a body with highly sexual energies. So, for me, it’s pretty amusing to observe how Christians comically fight for pretentious norms and morals to suppress natural human sexuality when the art of resurrection, the main talent of their supposedly worshipped deity, is only accessible with the help of sex magic. If Yeshua hadn’t been a highly sexual person and hadn’t charged his energy body through lovemaking rituals with his beloved wife, Mary Magdalen, he wouldn’t have been able to heal people, perform shamanic miracles, and return safely from death. 

 

Any oppressive society wins when they push sex workers into hiding, but a whore knows in her heart that she was born to be a whore, so there are no other arguments to be made. Most medical doctors, priests, teachers, lawyers, accountants, politicians, and journalists have less integrity than most whores that I know. People in those professions are real prostitutes because they will sell their truth, convictions, love, and even their souls to the highest bidder without even thinking. So why do we still listen to their pretentious morality and, more importantly, respect and value them more than sex workers?

 

For my soulmates and me, the fight for the divine truth would not end with the decriminalization of sex work or more acceptance of this craft. Nature designed sex workers as nobility and gave them more unique talents at birth than other women because they have higher obligations to Nature and humanity. So, I hope to see a day when sex workers will re-claim the superior rights and status that Nature granted them. And I hope to see the restoration of temples of sexual healing arts, where people can explore the middle path for sex and finally heal their broken nature. Both sexual indulgence and abstinence are manifestations of suppressed sexuality and imposed shame of human nature. Neither path brings empowerment to a human being. But we finally have a chance to remove those shackles of the destructive perceptions and norms of sexuality created by the old militant doctrines that were designed to turn people into slaves.
