Dominatrix as Hierophany

It may seem like an obvious or, conversely, ambitious claim, but I'd like to say it out loud and in writing - submitting to a Dominatrix is inherently a religious experience.

All the elements are there. Approaching the Goddess with respect, wishing and hoping. Carving out a special time. Arriving to a special space (a dungeon or another) or a space that will shift from casual to sacred once the Dominatrix arrives. There is a ritual (obvious or not), there is worship, rules and etiquette, there is a beginning and an end, there is mystery and vulnerability, a change. There might even be a transcendence.

Now, for the non-spiritual of you or those with bad religious experience, this may seem a little uncomfortable. But worry not, as it's in your nature and daily life already. According to Mircea Eliade (one of the most influential scholars of religion), the non-religious human has in fact made herself by desacralizing life. Even if one may claim that the origins of humanity where devoid of religion, it certainly has been ingrained deep into us and evident even through the most minor habits.

I'm writing this because I want to give permission to you, the reader, to behave in the manner of the sacred. Even to exaggerate it.

Ultimately, submitting to a Dominatrix is the opportunity to express through actions things that are fundamentally resistant to language.

Ultimately, the Dominatrix is the manifestation of the sacred (hierophany).

Ultimately, you know it already.

Do treat this as a heavenly gate of opportunity. Play with the tools that may bring you ecstasy even before meeting your Dominatrix, such as prayer, meditation and regular thoughts about Her. Be there with intention and see what opens up over time - after all, "access to spiritual life always entails death to the profane condition, followed by a new birth."

In other words, you may became closer to gods yourself.

With Heavenly Embrace,
Eve
