MY NAME IS ODILE

Teacher of Antique Sacred Sexuality Rites

I impart personal male sacred sexuality rituals and esoteric gnosis to select individuals for self-realisation, sensual fulfilment and liberation at an elegant retreat in historic London and Athens. My rituals emulate the ecstatic initiation rites of the ancient mysteries – an erotic-mystic experience of sacred sensual adoration expressed through ritual drama, the reenactment of archetypal myths.

Such rites were led by the Serpent-Priestess who would invoke the primordial Goddess to take possession of her, whilst a male initiate representing the mortal virile hero, valiantly encountered the otherworld to partake in sensual joy. For the initiate who remained steadfast and proved himself liberated, he would be granted passage to the supreme ritual, hieros gamos, to become the Sacred King, solar-year-God.

Antiquarian & Sensualist

I am drawn to the ancient mysteries of pre-history and the great civilisations of antiquity, their knowledge of astronomy, sacred sexual alchemy and ritualistic use of entheogens and aphrodisiacs, such as during the time of the fertility cults of Sumer, Minoan Crete and Anatolia, the secret devotees of left-hand-path tantra, and the hedonist Hellenic cults of Aphrodite, Adonis, Demeter and Dionysus.

Equally at home in a retreat in the forest, gazing into a roaring fire or in a vintage hotel, appreciating breakfast on a balcony overlooking the city rooftops, I enjoy the pursuit of beauty and pleasure in all its forms; some of my favourite experiences include:

Bathing in hot springs or relaxing in a hammam, admiring the ornate antiques at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, viewing the ancient art and sculpture in the Acropolis museum at night when the crowds have departed, walking the candlelit Hall of Mirrors at Versailles in the late autumn, watching a ballet performance at a grand opera house, intimate afternoons in bed with a lover escaping the heat or the cold of the day, tasting Greek/Anatolian coffee with dates, figs and assorted baklava, savouring a full-course dinner of exotic cuisine with many dishes of distinct flavours, swimming among the ocean bioluminescence after a night dive, and dancing wildly under the moonlight until sunrise.
