DARK VENUS // GABRIELA

DARK VENUS (ALSO KNOWN AS GABRIELA) IS AN AUTHOR, SEX WITCH, SUBMISSIVE, AND DEVOTEE OF THE GODDESS OF LOVE. SHE IS THE PRIESTESS OF KINK COVEN. HER WORK EXISTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE ESOTERIC AND EROTIC, AND EXPLORES THE OVERLAP OF MAGICK, THE DIVINE FEMININE, SEXUALITY, AND GLAMOUR. SHE IS THE AUTHOR OF “INNER WITCH: A MODERN GUIDE TO THE ANCIENT CRAFT”, “BEWITCHING THE ELEMENTS: A GUIDE TO EMPOWERING YOURSELF THROUGH EARTH, AIR, FIRE, WATER, AND SPIRIT”, “EMBODY YOUR MAGICK: A GUIDED JOURNAL FOR THE MODERN WITCH” , AND “SACRED SEX": THE MAGICK AND PATH OF THE DIVINE EROTIC.”

DARK VENUS’S RELATIONSHIP TO KINK IS ROOTED IN WORSHIP OF SELF AS AN ACT OF DEVOTION TO THE GODDESSES OF LOVE AND LUST SHE IS DEDICATED TO. BY SEEING HER BODY AS AN ALTAR, BY SEEING THE EXCHANGE OF POWER AND ENERGY AS AN OFFERING, DARK VENUS APPROACHES BDSM AS ANOTHER AVENUE OF GNOSIS, MAGICK, AND EVOLUTION.
