Fierce Yoni Shield
One of the most terrifying and vicious shields, the Fierce Yoni Shield is used to protect fertility and sensuality. It is often used to confront a history of sexual abuse. The soft, pink, and inviting inner side of this shield is presented to the one being protected as a reminder of the vulnerable beauty that has been harmed. The outer side of this shield is wicked and fierce, capable of slashing, puncturing, and driving down the perpetrator of the attack. Soft and resilient within, harsh and dangerous without, this shield holds the key to understanding the power of sexuality. When returning from battle with the Fierce Yoni Shield, one has become emboldened with sexual vitality, empowered to stand in the strength, joy, and pleasure of a mature sexual being.
