A FORMER stripper has reinvented herself as a SEX WITCH - and is now an expert in orgasm-boosting spells.

Shaney Marie, 31, has swapped her sleazy career for a new life helping couples and dissatisfied singletons have more fulfilling sex lives.

The New Zealander was inspired to make the change after realising her male customers at the strip club weren't looking for boobs to ogle, they were looking for a deeper meaning of their own life.

She said: "When I was a stripper, I noticed most men were coming to me in search of deeper connections and had nowhere else to turn to.

"I looked back to ancient times. There were once temples where men would seek counsel and healing from erotic dancers. This has been distorted.

"Modern strip clubs are a power play. Men objectify women, but women objectify them with their wallets.

"It is no longer a place of love and there is not a lot of respect on either side of the sexes. I decided to return to the older roots and bring on an awakening.

"Phenomena like porn have also desensitised us.

"Spirituality is the best way this helps to recondition ourselves with erotic subtleties."

Shaney, who classes herself as both pansexual, which means not being limited by gender, and eco-sexual, which means finding nature and the earth sexual, claims a gust of wind can turn her on.

She said: "I'm in a heterosexual relationship but I'm open to explore life so I could be described as pansexual. I'm also eco-sexual, which is about being turned on by the elements.

"It can mean surrendering to pleasure such as the winds blowing on your skin. The elements are important to witches and shamans alike.

"Spell crafting can involves boosting pleasure. It is is one of the most powerful forces you can experience.

"It's like rocket fuel for manifestation."

Shaney is now based in Melbourne, Australia, and she says business is booming, and she's getting even more clients thanks to the power of the internet.

Her clients are taught rituals like praying at love-altars, erotic dance workshops and using crystals and sex toys to heighten sexual climaxes.

She also casts spells – known as sex magic – to deepen feelings of sexual pleasure.

Shaney's services also extend into face-to-face sexual coaching and even Skype consultations - a modern twist on ancient traditions.

She said her mostly-male clientele – who span the ages of 20 to 70 – are in the hundreds, but that number is rising as people trade religion for spirituality.

Shaney said: "Australia has a big movement, especially in Melbourne and Byron Bay, of spiritual sexuality. More and people are starting to dip their toes in it.

"There is a history of misinformation about witchcraft and paganism, but people are curious and spirituality is slowly replacing religion.

"Sex witchery involves using ancient pagan ways of being to unlock greater pleasure pathways."

Shaney said beyond the bedroom, her services can offer therapeutic qualities to victims of depression and trauma.

She added: "Some people can definitely use spiritual pathways to cure trauma. But it must be done tenderly.

"We are ultimately sensitive and gentle beings.

"One of my clients was suffering from severe depression. He said after six sessions, he felt more growth than he got from years of psychiatric therapy."

Shaney is bringing her new age sex counselling to Europe this month, and will be visiting London and Irish cities as part of her international tour.
