What happens when your love life becomes a spiritual initiation?
A Memoir & Guide to the Tarot,
Sacred Sex & Radical Awakening
After a Kundalini awakening in Hawaiʻi, a free-spirited lesbian falls in love with a man—and follows their erotic intuition through a 25-year kinky, queer, polyamorous Tantric marriage.
Perhaps you’re in the middle of your own erotic awakening.
Maybe your desires no longer fit the life you inherited. Maybe you’re discovering that sexuality can open questions about love, identity, spirit, and the nature of reality itself. Maybe you’re standing at a threshold, not knowing what’s waiting on the other side.
At a threshold like this, a mirror — and a mentor who’s walked into the mystery — can help you recognize your own path.
A 25-Year Love Story That Refused the Rules
This is a story of passion, Tantra, jealousy, ecstatic highs, devastating lows, motherhood, public visibility, and a love that kept evolving. Through it all, Michael has been my teacher, lover, and hero.
“This riveting memoir offers a privileged window into the emotional risks KamalaDevi took for the sake of true love, and how they navigated every twist and turn—including intense jealousy and profound compersion—with an unwavering commitment to growth and integrity.”

— Cain Caiyam Carroll Author of Mudras of India
“A sumptuous text that can help you in your own quest into Self.”
— Lee Harrington Author, Teacher & Ritualist

— Corey Lyon Folsom Author of Soul Statements
KamalaDevi McClure lays it all bare. One Fool’s Journey is a raw, honest, and deeply personal account from a veteran of polyamory and fierce explorer of the human heart. This riveting memoir offers a privileged window into the emotional risks KamalaDevi took for the sake of true love, and how they navigated every twist and turn— including intense jealousy and profound compersion—with an unwavering commitment to growth and integrity.
— Marie Thouin, PhD Author of What is Compersion? Understanding Positive Empathy in Consensually Non-Monogamous Relationships
“In the tradition of Joseph Campbell and Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD, KamalaDevi McClure takes the mythology of the Tarot as the structure for a remarkable account of personal transformation. Lyrical, beautiful, and mystical, their journey through deep love, sexual healing, and radical vulnerability is a great gift to the reader.”
— Bonnie Comfort, PhD Author of Staying Married is the Hardest Part
One Fools Journey is a beautiful work of synthesis. It combines the world of archetypes with the lived experience of being human. W H Auden has a beautiful line “We are danced by powers we pretend to understand”. Kamala Devi has provided a delightful bridge to a deeper understanding of those archetypal powers while staying firmly grounded in our personal lives.
— Bruce Lyon Author of Occult Cosmology
“For decades, I’ve watched KamalaDevi standing on stage reminding audiences that pleasure, art, sex, and spirit are not separate. This brave memoir is the deeply personal story behind that public work.”
— Veronica Monet Author of Sex Secrets of Escorts & Coach
“One Fool’s Journey is intimate, courageous, unconventional, entertaining, and full of the hard-earned wisdom that can only come from actually living the questions. KamalaDevi has long been an inspiration; when I first entered the sacred sexuality community nearly twenty years ago, they were already a leader, boldly speaking their truth and helping forge new paths for the rest of us to follow.”
— Destin Gerek Sexologist & Author of The Evolved Masculine
“Fearless, provocative, and radically alive, One Fool’s Journey is more than a memoir; it is an invitation to shed the identities we have inherited and discover what remains underneath.”
— Marni Freedman Award-Winning Memoirist & Founder of the San Diego Writers
“It is beautiful and rewarding to see someone with KamalaDevi’s depth of experience translate moments of psychological and emotional insights into the Fool’s journey through the Tarot’s archetypal symbols. In an honest and passionate manner, each card gives us learned lessons of a high priestess seeking to transmit a wider initiation of the mystical arts, sacred sexuality, and occult knowledge into embodied wisdom.”
