She is his inner feminine — his anima.”

But the sacred never left. It was hidden — under layers of conditioning, guilt, and survival. To reclaim your temple, you must return to the ground of your own being. You must anoint your own body as holy. You must light your fire from within.”
― Ava Sol, Holy Fire: Reclaiming Desire, Shakti, and the Sacred Self
