Mapping the Descent: Crown & Chalice - A Descent into Darkness, a Return to the Divine with Amy Ray

What happens when the dark night of the soul isn’t just a chapter… but your whole life?

In this final episode of Mapping the Descent, Amy Ray joins us to share her extraordinary journey from years of addiction and despair to a near-death encounter that awakened her to the Goddess—and to her true self.

Amy shares her experience of being shown a vision of divine feminine love, and her initiation into a new path of purpose, healing, and deep embodiment. What followed was a 10-year spiral of recovery, remembrance, and reclamation.

Together, we explore:

• The underworld experience of addiction and the alchemy of awakening

• Mystical experiences, nervous system healing, and synesthesia

• The return of the Goddess and feminine face of God

• Tantric views of suffering, desire, and the purpose of incarnation

• Why embodiment is the true path of integration

• The importance of rites of passage and the rebirth of sacred ritual

This episode is a rite in itself—a transmission of tenderness, courage, and divine remembrance.
