In deze aflevering deel ik hoe ik werk met godinnenenergie – in mijn leven, mijn business en mijn creatieprocessen. Hoe de godinnen op mijn pad zijn gekomen en hoe ik dagelijks met hun energie werk en hun om guidance vraag. Zij zijn mijn gidsen.  Acht jaar geleden kwam de eerste godin in mijn veld. Sindsdien ben ik niet meer gestopt met luisteren, voelen, en creëren in verbinding met het collectieve veld van godinnen. Ik vertel over hoe ik hun guidance ontvang, hoe ik de downloads herken en hoe deze energie verbonden is met Divine Feminine Energy. Ik deel over het energieveld waarin godinnen als Brigid, Cerridwen of Danu elk staan voor een eigen set aan wijsheid, heling en kracht. En dat deze energie ook in ons leeft.  Ook neem ik je mee in mijn persoonlijke visie op het moderne priesteressenschap: geen functie, maar een frequentie. In deze aflevering vertel ik over GODDES een programma van 4 weken waarin jij zelf ook met godinnen gaat werken en erop gaat afstemmen. In deze reis ontmoet je de godin (of godinnen) die nu bij jouw pad passen en ga je hiermee werken voor je persoonlijke pad en voor je creaties en manifestaties. Maar dat is niet alles want je reist met mij mee terwijl ik in Engeland ben op eeuwenoude krachtplaatsen vol wijsheid, die energie ga ik met je delen. GODDES is een initiatie en sacred journey in 1.

Navigate the cycles of time and break free from the trap of certainty—balance is the key. --- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ This episode of _Creation's Paths_ explores cycles of time and their influence on humanity, spirituality, and modern society. Charlie and Brian delve into themes of uncertainty, the repetitive nature of history, and how we can navigate life's cycles by embracing balance and relinquishing certainty. They reflect on the transition from old societal structures like the divine right of kings to modern ideological cycles, including nationalism and religious devotion. Drawing on pagan traditions, calendars, and metaphors, they emphasize the importance of oscillating perspectives and breaking free from deterministic thinking. The episode concludes with a prayer inspired by Cerridwen, honoring the cyclical nature of life.

Send Catherine a text Message"It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope." –Ursula K. LeGuin This episode revolves around the Welsh myth of Cerridwen and the Birth of Taliesin. I've worked with this story a number of times. It comes to mind this time of year because Cerridwen is both a goddess and a witch, and this story includes potions, cauldrons, shapeshifting, and poetry. A different theme emerged for me this time in response to our collective uncertainty and questions about action, control, and faith.I hope you find something of value in this meditation.Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Blessings of Spring! We have a wonderful interview with Water Priestess Annwyn Avalon, author of the newly released Celtic Goddess Grimoire!

This book also explores the Ladies of the Lake, including the original Lake Lady from The Mabinogi. It shines a spotlight on the most prominent Celtic female divinities but also includes a section devoted to lesser-known goddesses of the Celtic world, such as the mysterious Nehalennia, who was nearly lost before her shrine was recovered from the depths of the North Sea. A practical guide to working with these sacred beings, this book includes exercises for celebrating, honoring, and serving them. Author Annwyn Avalon provides chants, rituals, spells, and meditations. Learn how to build altars, craft charms, and actively invoke these Celtic goddesses so that they become a living, vital presence in your spiritual life.

Merry Met One And All,Today was my last full day of storytelling before the festivities of the season commence. It is also the winter solstice, traditionally celebrated between the 21st and 23rd of December, a chance to pause and honour the shortest day of the year and the coming light. I'm sharing a minute of quietude with you this evening. This is a moment I had whilst I prepared for storytelling sessions at The Weald & Downland Living Museum, a place and space I'm incredibly grateful to tell in. Tomorrow is the shortest day and from that point forward the days will gradually get longer. Imperceptible at first but gathering momentum until we eventually reach the vernal equinox, when balance returns once more. Take a moment to pause with the fire and the flickering flame of the parafin lamp as we welcome the return of the light this solstice.Blessed be and a merry winter solstice to all Get full access to Cerridwen's Cauldron at cerridwenscauldron.substack.com/subscribe

With the importance of the story of Cerridwen and Taliesen in Druidry, I thought the story deserves it's own episode to look at the various levels of symbolism in it. Like any other spiritual story, we can look at it from a topical, simple angle, or we can look deeply into it to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for it.

Cerridwen is a sixth century sorceress who becomes a well-known historical Welsh goddess. She is married to a giant and has two children when she decides to create a potion of all-knowing omnipotence and magic. Intended for her son, she brews this potion in her magic cauldron, Awen.    However, the potion does not go as planned when a young boy who is stirring the potion accidentally splashes three drops on his thumb and instinctively licks the potion and becomes a powerful shapeshifter with knowledge and insight. The run for his life begins as Cerridwen chases him down through shapeshifting magic and eventually consumes him while in the form of a hen. She becomes pregnant and gives birth to a third child, Taliesin who later becomes the most famous Welsh bard in history.    This episode is rich with discovering the importance of the cauldron and how it connects to your womb, to your magic and to the All That is. Explore the relationship to The Fool in the Tarot with the womb of creation. Could the tale of Cerridwen been a reference to the Lady of the Lake and the tales of Avalon and King Arthur?

Described as “the maddest fairytale film ever made” Tale of Tales is a fantasmagorical retelling of three ancient Italian Faerytales from the perspective of Maiden, Mother and Crone. Mad? Well, it is, but in the best possible way according to Lucy, who explores the film, Faerytales and why they mean so much to so many Witches. She also offers up her favourite Faerytale films - and shares why they resonate so much. If you’ve ever been enchanted by these long-ago tales and their beating pagan hearts, this episode of the Witchcast is a treasure trove of witchy wonders and surprising discoveries of their modern day relevance. Lucy turns the cards for three listeners with poignant questions - what will the Oracle cards reveal? And as always this episode of the Witchcast features Magickal songs from an eclectic mix of bewitching troubadours, bards and sonic storytellers. Music is from:Cerridwen and Taliesin - Damh the BardGrey Stone - Emily PortmanLove it is a Killing Thing - Sheila ChandraThankyou to Shayne (for making this all sound so magickal) Georgia (for creating imagery that captures the enchantment) to all the sponsors - Kohli Tea and Primal Healing, Hemlock and Dagger and Blue Angel Publishing - you’re all treasures and because of you, well, the Witchcast lives and breathes. Huge heartfelt hugs to the Patreon Family and gratitude also to everyone who has left a review or rating - it is so so so appreciated! Blessed be!

In the Welsh myth of Cerridwen, the elixir of Awen had to be cooked and stirred and tended for a year and a day. This meditation is a gift that has brewed for a year and a day since the publication of this podcast. May this guided meditation lead you to the inner temple of wisdom, the home of the Sacred Fire, and the cauldron of Awen within. 

On episode 37 of the Magick and Alchemy Podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew explore the archetype of the Crone. They discuss the Crone as the stereotypical Witch-in-the-Woods, but also the Wise Woman, the waning moon, and the third phase of the Triple Goddess. They speak about Cerridwen, Baba Yaga, the Grey Sisters, cauldrons, shapeshifting, and embodiment as a form of devotion. Created by Tamed Wild.
