What does it mean to worship the Divine Mother in Her red form?

🌹 What does it mean to worship the Divine Mother? Why does the Divine Mother appear in a red form, and what does Her “redness” signify? What does Śrīvidyā Tantra have to say about the Red Mother, and how has the Red Mother shown up across cultures, not just Tantra?

The co-hosts and co-producers of Red Mother Rising, Meenakshi and Ruby Magdalene, who are both devotees of the Red Mother and also follow the yoginī / priestess paths, discuss these questions in the introductory episode of Red Mother Rising.

They discuss the Mother as She appears through Śrīvidyā Tantra and Gnostic Christianity, Her form as Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, and how She is the liberating power in every being.

Meenakshi and Ruby Magdalene discuss:

✧ Śrī Lalitā Tripurāsundarī and Sophia
✧ The Kali Yuga, or the dark ages prophesied in Hindu scripture
✧ The power of Kuṇḍalinī Śakti
✧ Dakṣiṇācāra, Kaulācāra, and Vāmācāra paths
✧ The meaning of the “red path”
✧ Hedonism vs. liberation, and why hedonism is NOT Tantra
✧ Embodiment of wisdom on the path to liberation
✧ The dark night of the soul that comes with worship of the Divine Mother
✧ The importance of direct experience, which is facilitated by Śakti
✧ The discomfort in claiming the title of yoginī / priestess
✧ How the spiritual path differs for women
