Welcome to another episode of the Fierce Feminine Rising Vodcast, where we learn about the Threefold Goddess at work in the Cathar faith. We are once again joined with Richard Stanley who is a South African film director and screenwriter, who lives in the Cathar region of Southern France. His recent movie, Color Out of Space (starring Nick Cage) has restored his 'Hollywood' title, and rightly so, for this man, has many a tale to tell.
In this episode, Richard is speaking about "The Three Esclarmonde's" of the Cathar faith. In the guise of an innocent child, a fierce young warrioress, and a mystical High Priestess Crone, the Tripple Goddess makes her timeless appearance unmissable.
Many of us researching the Cathar History could overlook this piece because to really get it, you have to zoom in real close - and this usually, means - living and breathing here.
Both Richard and I have been drawn to this region, and have spent many days together exploring, climbing and crawling our way around what is affectionally named 'The Zone'. There is no other who could tell this tale, quite in the way that Richard does...
The purpose of these dialogues is to bring together the clearest and most genuine way-showers of our time to hear and heed their message. Their words and the spirit in which they deliver them could lead us toward a trail of breadcrumbs that inevitably guides our way home.
Vanessa Jade is a survivor of systemic child sex trafficking and ritual abuse within an elite network of paedophiles including well-known figures. She survived these experiences mainly due to a very strong connection to the spiritual realms starting in early childhood through several near-death experiences. Her healing journey has spanned many years, many mentors, and a lot of powerful and deep transformational inner work and alchemy!
Today she is an initiated Priestess and Transformational Coach, supporting women on their healing journeys. Her work focuses on supporting women to reclaim sacred sovereignty over their bodies and their lives, by deep transformational healing of past trauma and connecting deeply into their divine feminine essence.
She is currently writing a memoir of her journey to forgiveness.

Lalita is a Galactic Shameness Astrologer like no other. She has utterly dive-bombed into my life and brought a light, like no other!
On May 13th Venus, we shall enter the Venus retrograde at Alnilam. As Innana, the Queen of Heaven will Station for her retrograde descent at the Star Alnilam. This Star the White fire of Transmutation... will guide Innana’s journey to the underworld to meet the Dark Sister, Erishkigal who is crying the Funeral Lament.
I think that translates as... 'It's only going to get worse, much worse, and much more honest, much more broken.'
You might think I'm mystical and fully animated - we all need to check out Lalita - for this one is Next Level!
Richard is a South African film director and screenwriter, who lives in the Cathar region of Southern France. His recent movie, The Color Out of Space (starring Nick Cage) has restored his 'Hollywood' title, and rightly so, for this man, has many a tale to tell.

Stephen is a teacher, author, storyteller, spiritual activist, and founder of Orphan Wisdom. He makes books, tends farm and mends broken handles and fences, succumbs to interviews, teaches and performs internationally. Our topic includes how to die well in a death-phobic society, especially poignant during this Coronavirus pandemic. I first come across Stephen when I watched his Griefwalker documentary and saw the staggering and sterile emptiness in which so many people die today in the modern world. Stephen's approach to death is alive, honest and so desperately needed. During our conversation, we talk about Elderhood, asking the question - where is it and how to be one?

Puivert is famed for its Troubadour's, Romance, Grail stories and Cathar alliances.

Sanctuaire de la Sainte-Baume, Plan-d'Aups-Sainte-Baume, France
This is going to be a gorgeously mystical retreat! Sainte Baume is a cave in the South of France where Mary Magdalene ended her earthly life. It is said that she lived the last years of her life as a hermit. However - she is still there today for all those who come to this grotto. It is known by the mystics that Sainte Baume carries a 3-stage initiation. There is a common phrase that says “Mary was lifted up seven times a day by the angels”. These are the kinds of things that shall be revealed over the 5 days of our retreat together, and much much more!

There is a Cathar Prophecy that was spoken by the last known Parfait, Guilhem Belibaste, moments before he was interrogated and burnt at the stake in the Occitan region of Southern France,1321. This prophecy spoke of how 'we shall return again, in 700 years when the laurel turns green'. That was 699 years ago. 2021 will be the fulfilment of that prophecy - and this week together will be a pure transmission, experiential and culminating in a self-baptism (if you feel to). Taking our inspiration from Thecla, we will submerge ourselves into The Way/Church of Love, just as she did.
