In this soul-stirring episode, we journey beyond the Easter we know today and into the ancient, feminine roots. Long before chocolate eggs and Sunday services, cultures around the world honored the Earth's reawakening in alignment with Goddess traditions - Eostre, Ishtar, Inanna, and hundreds of others - who embodied life itself, renewal, fertility, the sacred power of the body, and the great turning of the seasons.We'll explore the mythic origins of Easter, before Christianity, the rise and fall of Goddess Cultures, the symbolic significance of Spring, underworld journeys and how they show up in our lives, as well as what it means to reclaim the sacred feminine in a modern world.This episode is both a remembrance and a reclamation, a call to akaen the goddess that lives within all of us and listen for the song of the Earth as she rises again into a new cycle of life and fertility.In this episode you'll hear:00:22 - Introduction 03:15 - Grounding Practice04:32 - A Peek Into Ancient Goddess Cultures 07:07 - Every Woman Carries The Echoes of the Goddess07:39 - Feminine Rites of Passage08:23 - The Destruction of Goddess Traditions11:35 - Christianity's Co-Opting of Ancient Celebrations 12:45 - Why Eggs + Bunnies Represent Easter14:03 - What Easter Was Really About15:25 - The Goddesses of Rebirth: Ishtar, Oestre, Inanna, Persephone, and More17:52 - Death and Rebirth Stories Have Always Been A Part of Human Consciousness18:19 - The Story of Inanna's Descent Into The Underworld27:51 - The Three Stages of a Rite of Passage and How They Show Up In Our Lives As Women and Mothers31:19 - Rites of Passage as a Part of Female Biology and How Our Feminine Cycles Mirror The Cycles of Nature33:27 - The Ancient Symbols of Easter: Eggs, Hares, Water, + Fire40:06 - May We Remember: A Wish For Us All at the Turning of Spring40:50 - Closing Meditation: Awakening The Goddess Within Send me a text!

Welcome the Spring season and true New Year with this short guided meditation (pulled from our most recent Spring Equinox episode).We'll take a few minutes to ground and settle, connect without breath and sense of proprioception.Then we'll turn our attention toward Winter. Are there any loose ends to tie up? Anything that arose during the season that still needs our attention? Finally, we'll turn toward the warm glowing door of Spring, ripe with possibilities, vision, and an entire new year of living and loving.If you'd like more ways to honor the arrival of Spring (and the close of Winter) you can find more rituals from me here.In between episodes you can find me on Instagram and Tik Tok.

As the wheel of the year turns, the Spring Equinox arrives as a powerful portal—inviting us to step out of winter's reflection, dreaming, and fortification, and into early Spring's integration, release, and ultimately, inspired action. In this episode, we explore the profound energetic shift of this sacred threshold.•Closing the door of Winter and walking forward into a new season•The shift from Yin to Yang, clearing stagnation and harnessing rising inner fire•The Astrological New Year & what the Sun in Aries means for all of us Through deep reflections, seasonal wisdom, and a visualization meditation, this episode will guide you through the meaning of the Equinox.

In this 2-Part episode, I begin telling the story of my son's painless, pleasurable, joyful, transcendent home birth. I believe that every good birth story starts with the conception and pregnancy story. In this episode, I share the details surrounding his conception and birth, which wasn't nearly as wonderful as his birth.While I loved being pregnant, my personal life was falling apart. I hope that in sharing my story of this pregnancy, it helps those who are also struggling in their marriage, with their care provider, or are otherwise having a less-than-ideal pregnancy. It doesn't mean a less-than-ideal birth.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:0:00 - Preview01:22 - Intro and Reflections 8 Year Out05:05 - The Importance of Positive Birth Stories09:26 - A Releasing, Ground Breath11:20 - An Unexpected, Planned Conception26:33 - Processing The News With 12 Other People29:00 - Holy Shit, I Have To Give Birth Now29:50 - Processing With The Support of Mother Nature31:08 - You Can't Be Bothered By Morning Sickness When You're Overflowing With Joy33:10 - My Feminine Spiritual Connection Blossoms35:28 - The Happiest and Loneliest I've Ever Felt40:11 - Doubting My Midwife - Am I Going to Give Birth Unassisted?44:11 - Due on Mother's DayGo to Part 2 to hear the story of the birth!To connect more with Carina, you can find her at:www.carinadevi.com https://www.instagram.com/carina.devi/ https://www.tiktok.com/@carina.devi
