Tales of a Reincarnated Delphic Oracle: How the Plants Have Informed My Life & Given Vision to My Work
In this daringly revealing talk, scholar Marguerite Rigoglioso, Ph.D., talks about the genesis of her own use of plant medicine. From her early days as a graduate student to her recent and ongoing ceremonial work, she discusses how she’s gone from a “bad trip” case to a channeler of cosmic wisdom for the planet. She shares how plants kicked her butt, helped her heal, opened her to dimensions of knowing that have informed her evolutionary books, teachings, and work with private clients, and set her on planetary healing missions at major power sites. She also considers how the repression of plant usage corresponds with the general suppression of women’s knowing and oracular power, and the denial of the Sacred Feminine. In particular, she talks about the operation of a “taboo trauma field” that is often activated for people who wish to step out with their knowing through the triggering of deep past-life memory trauma responses. Finally, she speaks optimistically about the Great Awakening happening on the planet as people open their consciousness through plants and other means, and how participants in conferences such as ours are way showers. Marguerite Rigoglioso [pronounced REGAL-yo-zo], Ph.D., is the founding director of Seven Sisters Mystery School and a scholar/practitioner of the ancient Mediterranean mystery traditions. She is the author of The Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece and Virgin Mother Goddesses of Antiquity, pioneering books with strong entheogenic themes that explore women’s shamanic abilities in an evolutionary new light. Through her mystery school, Marguerite offers live and online courses and private mentoring designed to help women and men develop their unique spiritual path. She has taught leading-edge courses on the sacred feminine and women’s spiritual leadership at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Sofia University, and numerous other places, including Canterbury Christ Church University in the UK, where she helped create the MA in Myth, Cosmology & the Sacred. She combines lifelong study of the religious history of the ancient Mediterranean world and beyond with her own spiritual growth work and intuitional skills, which have been cultivated through years of ceremonial practice as well as intensive clairvoyant study.
