Longing to unlock your next level of raw feminine power—and experience a flood of money, pleasure and well-being—from the most wild, forbidden places of your soul?
If you are ready to dive beneath acceptable feminine archetypes (like Mother, Beloved and Queen)… and descend into the wet, primordial “Dark Wisdom" of the hidden Goddess in Genesis … join me in SHADDAI: A Biblical Goddess Initiation.
Is this you?
-
You were raised in an Abrahamic religion but are now on a quest to reclaim the feminine in your tradition.
-
You feel called to a shamanic path that prioritizes direct divine experience over texts and traditions.
-
You have done years of feminine healing, yet you still struggle with patterns like people-pleasing, hiding your gifts, and playing small (more often than you’d like).
-
You are ready to experience and express the depths of your sexual power and pleasure.
-
You feel hungry for a deeper connection to sacred land, one in which it plays a role in your growth and story.
- You feel connected or attracted to things dimissed as “witchcraft” or “magic” by your birth religion.
If any of this resonates, then I invite you to join me in Shaddai: A Goddess Initiation.
The truth is . . .
Our biblical lineage is anchored in the primal womb power and raw feminine energy of SHADDAI, a forgotten Mesopotamian Goddess.
Featured in the oldest biblical books of Genesis and Job, SHADDAI calls us to an earthy, shamanic spirituality:
one rooted in natural rhythms, body wisdom, and those primal feminine archetypes often called “dark.”.
SHADDAI was worshipped as a Dark Goddess by our first patriarchs and prophets. Among Her devotees we also find Sexual Priestesses and Wild Women. Her presence in sacred text invites us to shape a new portrait of who and what a “devoted spiritual woman” can be.
Yet today, if you ask a pastor or rabbi about Shaddai as a Goddess, most will stare at you like you’ve lost your mind.
The problem is . . .
We were taught that the Bible doesn’t have any Goddess or “good” Primal Feminine figures — and that the dark aspects of femininity are somehow evil.
In earlier eras, women were honored for their ability to hold these powerful mysterious energies. Yet somewhere along the way, after the rise of Abrahamic religion, this fecund zero-point of creativity got labeled “satanic.”
You and I have paid the price.
Raised to emulate biblical women who are Mothers, Lovers and Queens, we identify more easily with “light” archetypes.
But if you're like me, you've come to realize that without embracing the “darker” aspects of yourself—you will never know your full power.
Now, you long to descend DEEP into your lower three chakras and embody everything that is magical, erotic and feral — three words that strike fear in the heart of your Sunday School mom!
Until now, you’ve been afraid that in “going to the dark side,” you might wander into the realm of witchcraft or satanism.
But the thing is ... "dark" doesn't have to mean the "against God."
It can also mean "mysterious, like the womb."
Now imagine yourself ...
-
Integrating your inner Dark Goddess, Sexual Priestess and Wild Woman without any sense of conflict.
-
Sensing that the most primal feminine energy flows through you—that you now live fully and deeply from your pelvic region, and know who you are.
- Knowing for certain that while religious text and tradition are welcome in your life, your ultimate source of authority is safely held in your womb.
- Naturally incorporating simple, powerful shamanic rituals that connect you with older forms of feminine power — rooted in the Bible’s Mesopotamian origins.
-
Looking at your bank account, sex life, and/or your latest health report—and feeling pleasantly surprised how truly well your life is becoming.

"... For the first time, I was actually able to see myself breaking the chains that have bound me ... which is so beautiful and a perfect metaphor for this season in my life."

SHADDAI: A Biblical Goddess Initiation is for you ...
if you’re ready to integrate your safer, more communal and more nurturing Goddess energies with your raw feminine sovereignty that demands to be reckoned with.
Shlama, I'm Lisa Moriah.
Growing up in a strict Baptist household, I was taught the Hebrew Bible from back to front, and the Christian testament as well. I also knew instinctively that "Goddess talk" was the biggest no-no of all in my childhood.
How amazing to experience Shaddai years later, as Her Presence "invaded" my life and patiently drew out my primal feminine power. At age 40, I found my way onto Her sacred land of Harran, Türkiye, where Abraham and Sarah lived.
Here, the Primal Feminine of SHADDAI gripped my heart and body. Through many encounters amid 5000 years of ruins, She pulled me down into my pelvic power—and never let go.
Ready to ...
Ready to feel like you’ve finally, at long last, hit “ground zero” with your feminine power, and you’re operating in full sovereignty from your soul?
I called this program an “initiation” because it is not primarily about information, though there is teaching.
Rather, it is about activating latent energies and wisdom within you that will set your primal feminine power in motion.
The program has three core components:
(1)
A series of three potent energy transmissions, recorded live on sacred land in Harran, the origin of the biblical tradition.
(2)
Biblically-inspired shamanic practices that follow each transmission to further entrain your energy and shift your thoughts, feelings and action.
(3)
Practical, specific life actions for each transmission that will transmute these energy shifts into real-life results in your wealth, love life and health.
Here is what our program looks like ...
Introduction:
Our Ancestral Goddess
We'll start by reframing the story of Abraham and Sarah -- and re-understanding the "Abrahamic covenant" as a Mesopotamian fertility contract.
Are you ready to discover the wild, paradoxical and surprisingly untamed personality of the "ancestral goddess of Abraham's house" -- who was known and loved until after the Exodus?
Her story offers us the permission and context to re-understand what womanhood can mean.
Take a look at what we'll experience together:
- Explore how the feminine Shaddai differs from Y-H-W-H of the Mosaic narrative.
- Tap into Her energy through altar-building, Hebrew chant and embodied movement.
- Work with Her sacred letter -- the double breasted Aramaic / Hebrew / Arabic "Shin" 𐡔 -- as a tool for visualization and ritualcraft.
- Open ourselves as vessels of Her primordial energy.
Phase 1:
The Dark Goddess
(death, destruction, survival, wealth, womb rites, earth connection, liminal spaces)
Are you ready to shed the egoic layers between you and your full truth, and allow all the obstacles within you to “die” to old patterns for good?
The Dark Goddess guides us through death, destruction and liminal spaces that prepare us for rebirth. Together, we’ll encounter Her and invite a “shamanic death” that disrupts old patterns.
Take a look at what we’ll experience together:
- Reframe the “Dark Goddess” as a loving agent of release and transformation—not as the Big Witch or Enemy of God.
Undertake a supported “shamanic death” experience, to release what is ready to go.- Drum and make offerings for rootedness and prosperity.
- Apply Dark Goddess wisdom to your sense of safety with money, your spending habits and abundance.
Phase 2:
The Sexual Priestess
(eroticism, sexual flow, fertility, creativity, yoni rites, and masculine union)
Are you ready to shed the layers of hesitation or shame around sex so you can fully enjoy erotic flow, and allow yourself to be deeply pleasured?
The Sexual Priestess guides us through yoni rites, erotica, and the mysteries of pleasure and fertility.
Together, we will encounter and open up layers of pleasure, receptivity and confidence in bed.
Take a look at what we’ll experience together:
- Reframe the “Sexual Priestess” as a vessel of pleasure that heals and transforms—not as the Big Slut or Unholy Whore.
- Undertake supported self-pleasure experiences and shamanic yoni rites.
- Explore movement practices and Sound Prayers to keep your sacral energy flowing.
- Apply Sexual Priestess wisdom to your current love life, both your self-pleasure and your experience with a partner (if you have one).
Phase 3:
The Wild Woman
(sovereignty, autonomy, courage, forging your own life path, evolving past social norms)
Are you ready to shed pesky layers of people-pleasing. self-editing or conventionality, so you can unleash your authentic self?
The Wild Woman guides us to develop a life that is sovereign, 100% original and free—with the confidence that in doing so, we’ll actually serve our community and loved ones better.
Take a look at what we’ll experience together:
- Reframe the “Wild Woman” as the courageous pioneer who serves outside of norms—not as the Untamed Savage or Selfish Barbarian.
- Identify areas where you still do “what’s expected” and evolve more sovereign choices
- Explore drumming and dance to turn on that wild “animal” energy and sacral/root energy.
- Apply Wild Woman wisdom to your physical well-being, making small changes that impact your reproductive system and gut.
Conclusion:
Her Sacred Land
We'll wrap our experiences by taking a visual tour of sacred land in Harran, Turkiye, where Abraham likely met Shaddai for the first time.
Woven throughout this will be teaching and exploration of how to build a relationship with sacred land either live or at a distance.
Some sites include Rachel's well, the temple where Sarah may have served, and the place where Abraham and Sarah were married.
Take a look at what we'll experience together:
- A video tour of the sacred land in Harran, along with narration and teaching on the significance of the various places.
- An exploration of how to tap into the "spiritual origin energy" of Harran even when at a distance.
- Tips, tools and guidance on how to honor sacred land.
- A method for entering into covenant relationship with certain lands.
“For years, I’ve had pain in my sacral chamber, but after listening to you play the frame drum and guide me to chant in Aramaic, the pain shifted. It’s been gone ever since! This practice has helped me to release something emotional that was holding me back.”
~ Emory B., Colorado
“I haven’t found many voices bringing your scholarly insight and background to the table. There have been so many shifts unfolding and so much life proceeding! It’s been such a joy to let go of old frameworks through this reading and energy work.I feel equipped to move forward into leadership.”
~ Elizabeth S., Indiana USA
