Red Hot and Holy Description
When one person dares to speak her truth, it challenges us all to live our own. With Red Hot and Holy, Sera Beak offers a provocative and intimate view of what it means to get up close and personal with the divine in modern times.
With a rare combination of audacious wit, scholarly acumen, and tender vulnerability—vibrantly mixed with red wine, rock songs, tattoos, and erotic encounters—Sera candidly chronicles the highs and lows of her mystical journey. From the innocence of her childhood crush on God; through a whirlwind of torrid liaisons and bitter break-ups with Christianity, Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism, and the New Age; and finally into committed monogamy with her own Red Hot and Holy Goddess, Sera shares transformative insights, encouraging us all to trust our unique path and ignite our own spiritual love affair.
Sera Beak's luscious writing and renegade spiritual wisdom that slices through religious and new age dogma made her debut book The Red Book a breakout success. With Red Hot and Holy she offers a far more personal book—an illuminating, hilarious, and above all utterly honest portrait of the heart-opening process of mystical realization. This hot and holy book invites you to embrace your soul, unleash your true Self, and burn, baby, burn with divine love.

Sera Beak quotes from the Swiss Analytical Psychologist Carl Jung at the beginning of the second part of Red, Hot and Holy. Jung wrote those words around 100 years ago in what he called his Red Book. It is an uncensored document of one man's search for, encounter and reunion with his Soul. Only recently published, 50 years after his death, it shows us the deep work required to retrieve our Soul and to become what he called, an individuated Self. It involves facing the dark Shadow of our unconscious wounds and projections, while reclaiming and embodying ourselves in all our fullness. Ultimately this journey helps us embody our very own Essence, the gift that we've come to share with the world.
It takes immense courage to go on this journey. But to stand up and reveal it to others (while you're still in your 30s) is brave beyond words.
That is why I feel immense gratitude for Sera Beak and her own Red, Hot and Holy book. Here, in language we can relate to, even though it's richly woven with scholarship on the world's psychoanalytic, spiritual and mystical traditions, a girlfriend sits down with us over a glass of red wine and has the courage to share in the most intimate, heartfelt, soul searching, gut wrenching, deep belly laughing, and Real way her own incredible Love Story with the Divine. It's her life's search for an authentic and individuated way to honour what she comes to know and embody as herSelf: the Red Lady of her Soul.
As Sera's story reveals, the Soul's journey is a wild ride. And she shares it with us in all its messy and mystical detail. Holding. Nothing. Back. Because of this I couldn't put this book down.
I am a man, and I am so grateful to have had this book come into my life. I have been on a spiritual path since before I met Sera (where we went to college together), and have been on the yogic path, in and out of the new age scene since, and done my best to keep it real and authentic for myself all these years. I have read so many uplifting sacred non-dualistic, buddhist, tantric, kabalistic, self help texts, and tried my best to live up to these ancient lineages as a modern western man, with varying degrees of success. As inspiring as all the mythology around enlightenment is, nothing compares to honesty. Brutal and brave honesty. And for this, my inner divine feminine curtseys to Sera Beak. Her story is personal, yet universal. It is written for women, but as a modern man who has embraced his own shakti life force, I can see beyond the distinctions of male and female, and take away so much wisdom from Sera's journey of her own soul re-connection. Ultimately Sera is exposing her own struggles on this spiritual path (which is marketed to us as so shiny and fluffy and positive), and showing the true path home into our heart and sense of fullness isnt always sugar coated, and the fact that she is sharing this publicly is giving us all permission to acknowledge our own struggles, and not feel there is something wrong with our own tears of feeling separated from our soulmate (our very own soul), or feeling frustrated of having connected with it and loosing it, yet coming back to it (us) with an even deeper appreciation. So I say Bravo, and I wish all my sisters, and ex girlfriends, and strangers out there needing to taste something authentic with-in this superficial matrix we live in (and are seduced by), can be blessed to have this book come into their path.
