Surviving a 75 Foot Fall: My Priestess Initiation with Isis, Lilith, & Kali | S1 Ep.11

Season 1, Episode 11: The Fall—An Initiation of Old, Philosophy of Near Death Experiences Seven months ago, I fell 75 feet while rappelling. My equipment failed leading to a near death experience. I held onto the rope with both hands and sustained third-degree burns requiring 22 skin grafts. My partner caught my falling weight from the bottom—something that has a 1-2% survival rate for both people. We both walked away alive with changed views on the philosophy of life and death.This is the story of a modern initiation. The complete death of the maiden and the painful birth of the mother.Content warning: This episode contains detailed descriptions of a traumatic accident, medical procedures, and physical injury.
