They say that the bedroom is where the magic happens, but one woman named Shaney Marie is trying to bring literal meaning to that old saying by using spells and other pagan rituals to unlock a better sexual experience, the Mirror reports. After working as an exotic dancer for years, Marie is now exploring the art of witchcraft and its applications in our sex lives. The Melbourne, Australia, “priestess” serves as a sexual guru to a wide range of clientele who are apparently seeking greater fulfillment and better orgasms in their intimate lives.
Marie, who identifies as not only pansexual but also eco-sexual, made the professional pivot due to feelings of disillusionment she experienced while working in a strip club.
“Modern strip clubs are a power play,” she told the Mirror. “Men objectify women, but women objectify them with their wallets. It is no longer a place of love and there is not a lot of respect on either side of the sexes. I decided to return to the older roots and bring on an awakening.”
By bringing us back to a more natural, intimate approach, Marie hopes to reconnect us with our more erotic selves. How, exactly, will she nurture those identities, though? Erotic dancing, sex toys, crystals, and prayers at “love-altars.”
“Sex witchery involves using ancient pagan ways of being to unlock greater pleasure pathways,” she explained. “Spell crafting can involve boosting pleasure. It is is one of the most powerful forces you can experience.”
Though she’s only offering her services in Australia at the moment, Marie reportedly plans to visit Amsterdam, London, Berlin, and Ireland in the near future. However, if you’re geographically locked-out from meeting her in person, she apparently also offers Skype consultations, as well. If you take Marie at her word, it sounds like you’ll start believing in magic in no time.
