We delve into the theme of overcoming spiritual programming, drawing insights from the "Spirit of Rixipyle" chapter inEntering Hekate's Cave. We explore the concept of liberation through Hekate as a chain breaker, emphasizing the importance of trusting personal experiences over rigid spiritual norms. The discussion highlights the journey from feelings of sinfulness to recognizing one's sacredness, advocating for self-empowerment, authenticity, and the need for affirmations to combat internalized shame. The conversation concludes with a call to embrace personal truth and explore unique spiritual paths.Gratitude to our fabulous guides for this conversation: Kira, Meagin and Melinda.Get to know them and deepen your practice of Modern Hekatean Witchcraft inCovina.Discover more about the teaching and writing of Dr. Cyndi Brannen, including special editions of her books and more in the Keeping Her Keys ShopHERE.

Hi Witches This is possibly one of my favourite interviewees on the podcast and in my humble opinion one of the most important topics to delve into! Neesheta talks us through her role as a death doula and ultimately the topic of death. Neesheta carries the role of Oracle, Death Doula, and Movement Witch. She grew up with both sides of her family practicing magic, and many of these practices built the foundation for her magic today. She is also a Hekatean initiate and graduate of The Covina Institute under Dr. Cyndi Brannen, where she also serves as the Institute's Seasonal Movement Guide. Neesheta is also a retired cultural and aerial dance studio owner with over 14 years' experience teaching various dance styles including cultural, aerial, sensual, and esoteric movements. She believes that her experiences and her studies in Anthropology and End Of Life Planning have helped blend cultures and traditions into her teaching, dance, magical and mindfulness practices, and in helping others prepare to live the life, they desire, before their earthly death. Socials (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads) : @NeeshetasMagick I must of course issue a trigger warning with this episode but I hope it will bring you some comfort too!

Cyndi Brannen and Amy Blackthorn discuss the intersection of witchcraft and social media, focusing on Amy's new book, the Social Media Spellbook. They explore the collaborative process behind the book, the importance of rituals in the digital age, and how to share magical practices online while maintaining personal boundaries. The conversation also touches on the significance of vetting sources in the witchcraft community, the use of online magical names for safety, and the liminal nature of social media as a space for connection. Finally, they introduce a fun spell called 'Candy Corn Creativity' that encourages practitioners to weave their magic into social media posts.

Erika Robinson https://www.instagram.com/divine_withme/ joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to share about her new book, The Language of Lenormand (which is the first on the topic written by an American), as well as her journey into creating the deck, ‘Erika's Lenormand of Hope'. Erika explains how divining with Lenormand deck is different from working with the Tarot or other popular systems, and about how each card in the deck will have a different meaning depending on what cards surround it. Also discussed are the ethical considerations regarding reading for third parties, and Erika shares how she handles these types of situations with clients. Luxa also shares updates about The Green Mushroom Hyphosigil Project and Void House (our new experiment creating a consent-forward magical space for group work both in person and online), a conversation about astrology with Chelsea https://www.instagram.com/wyrd.road/ and some listener mail, including thoughts about Simulation Hypothesis and the concept of NPC's.

Hail Hekate Triformis, The Triple Goddess. The Unifying The Three Selves Meditation is a foundational practice for connecting with Hekate while aligning our personal energy field consisting of The Three Selves. These three selves represent the lower self (root), the middle self (heart), and the higher self (crown). The meditation process involves connecting with one's breath, relaxing the body, and focusing on the root, heart, and crown selves. By contemplating Hekate Triformis, we perceive our own tri-fold nature mirrored in her three forms. The Unifying The Three Selves Meditation can be found in Keeping Her Keys: An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft, Entering Hekate's Garden: The Magick, Medicine and Mystery of Plant Spirit Witchcraft, and Entering Hekate's Cave: The Journey Through Darkness To Wholeness.

From close relationships to our beloved goddess, it is only through having the courage to open up that we deepen these connections. As we communicate with the deeper world, while navigating everyday life, we face specific challenges in being open, but it is only through such that we can truly walk with our beloved goddesses and practice our craft. How then do we navigate this need for trust, which is the essence of vulnerability, with the necessity of protection through our boundaries?

Join me and Christen Bennett (she/they) - Coven Key Bearer as we review how Goddess Witchcraft has evolved over the past five decades and how we are creating our own religion, both as a movement and personally.  I'm calling this The Goddess Liberation Movement, as the Spirit of Rixipyle has certainly liberated us spiritually. The Goddess Liberation Movement celebrates the freedom to practice spirituality without fear of punishment. It focuses on creating one's own religion and embracing personal spirituality. With a history spanning five decades, the movement has seen significant changes and progress. From the rise of feminist theology and goddess worship in the 1970s to the recognition of Wicca as an official religion in the 1980s, and the mainstream popularity of witchcraft in the 1990s, the movement has evolved. In the 2000s, online communities and resources for witches emerged, and in the 2010s, organizations like the Temple of Witchcraft and increased political and social activism by witches became prominent. While witchcraft has become more mainstream, there are concerns about consumerization and a focus on material objects. The movement encourages individuals to create their own spirituality and embrace their sacredness. Watch with CC and transcript HERE. Join the COVEN.

Entering Hekate's Cave: The Journey Through Darkness To Wholeness by Cyndi Brannen, PhD, can be purchased wherever books are sold. This is a guided class and meditation that introduces the listener to Soul Retrieval. Join my soul school, The Covina Institute, for the in-depth eight week journey that takes place between the first and third new moons of the calendar year. If you missed this course, consider joining for The Rebirth Journey that runs from the third to fifth new moons. Learn more at keepingherkeys.com Psychopomp, which translates from Greek as “Soul Guide,” is one of Hekate's most ancient roles. Certainly, she guided Persephone through rebirth out of the cave, yet we can envision Hekate helping her call back the missing soul shards that shattered during her great trauma at the hands of those powerful men who brought about the end of her innocence. As Persephone learned to sing her soul once more, so do we. Our chorus becomes a beacon to the missing pieces of the soul in this lesson as we experience Soul Retrieval. The Soul Guide is much more than the one who helps the earthly dead cross over the river to the other side, she is the midwife who assists new souls as they are born into flesh, and she reunites us with the fragments we lose along the way. Hekate calls us to take care of our own souls, and to see the soul in all things. Caring for our own souls and seeking to understand the soul in all things, draws us closer to Anima Mundi. It is to Hekate as Psychopomp, and to our own ability as the guide of our own souls, that we turn to in this lesson as we experience soul retrieval. A shamanic practice as well as a psychological one, soul retrieval is the process of calling back pieces of our soul that were lost due to trauma. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keepingherkeys/message

Join me on this meditative journey to the heart of Hekate's Cave where we meet The Cailleach for unburdening our "stones," on the Winter Solstice (or anytime we need to let go our heaviness). I adore The Cailleach. She connects me to my Celtic roots, and always welcomes the weary traveler, offering shelter from the winter's storms.

This episode expands on the Skotia Chapter in Entering Hekate's Cave by Cyndi Brannen. From Entering Hekate's Cave: The Journey Through Darkness To Wholeness The Cailleach[i]is an expression of The Crone, a healing spirit that offers respite along the journey through the cave. There are stories regaling The Cailleach as the eternal wise woman healer. Sometimes denigrated as a mean-spirited hag, The Cailleach of various locations, such as the Cailleach Béara (Cally Berra)[ii], were Goddesses of Winter to ancient Celts. The importance of place is central to the tales of The Cailleach, where she typically be based in a specific location, such as Béara. Being linked to places signifies how deeply she is connected to the land and its people. She is of the earth itself. This connection of place also speaks to her message of reconnecting to the land, of treating the earth well so that we can be nourished. [i] Sorita d'Este and David Rankine.

There is a light so deep inside of meThat nothing can extinguish.It has burned through a thousand lifetimes, Always leading me back to Hekate's Cave. Christen Bennett (She/Her) - Coven Key Bearer, Coyote Mae (they/them) apGovannon Guide-Key of Lampadia and I sat down for an illuminating conversation about Hekate Lampadios, The Torch Bearer. Perhaps there is no more iconic contemporary symbol of Hekate than her torches. There are several references to Her torches in various ancient texts. In ancient rituals, spells and tales Hekate is seen as lighting the way with her blazing torches. Perhaps the most commonly known is The Homeric Hymn to Demeter where Hekate's torches light Persephone's way to and from the underworld. We light up the history, and how we connect to her sacred fire in this spirited discussion.

She teaches and writes from the crossroads of psychology, spirituality and traditional wisdom, merging ancient knowledge with modern practices.  Her work explores the journey through darkness to wholeness using the archetypes of the witch and Hekate. Her teaching focuses on personal healing through herbalism, rituals, meditations, and exploration of the deeper self. She founded The Covina Institute, a soul school dedicated to the pursuit of wholeness through structured programs of study and transcendent experiences.  After years of a successful career in academia and healthcare, she transitioned to teaching and writing about reclaiming the sacred feminine through spiritual practices after she became convinced that mainstream psychology was not sufficient to lead to personal wholeness.  The Archetype of The Witch Merged With Modern Psychology Her writing explores the archetype of the witch as a mechanism for healing from trauma, and as a font of personal sovereignty. She examines the many faces of the goddess, through mythology and personal experiences, as a reflection of the feminine principle, the anima, within. Added to her work is her years of professional experience in developing and evaluating self-directed programs based on modern psychological evidence. Notably, the roles of attachment, coping skills, and stress management. She draws heavily from certain modalities, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keepingherkeys/message

Descend into the mysteries of these enduring goddesses of the deeper world. "None of the immortal gods or mortal folk heard her cry, nor the Olives shining with fruit—  except the daughter of Perses,tender-hearted Hekate, veiled in light, heard from her cave…"-   From The Homeric Hymn to Demeter The Homeric Hymns: A Translation, with Introduction and Notes (Joan Palevsky Imprint in Classical Literature) by Diane J. Rayor "Chthonia (usually pronounced "ka-thon-ee-ah," but also as "thon-ee-ah") is one of Hekate's most ancient titles. A deity is considered chthonic if they abide in the Underworld, as opposed to ouranic deities, who reside on high. Hekate and Persephone are chthonic queens, while Demeter has strong ouranic characteristics, too. It is Hekate's chthonic energy that often presents to us when we are at our lowest. This is a symbolic representation of our own "earthiness," an indication that we feel deeply when our internal Underworld calls us to deep healing. Chthonia comes at these moments and especially during autumn, when all is returning to the earth." - from Entering Hekate's Cave by Cyndi Brannen, PhD You can watch this on The Keeping Her Keys YouTube. keepingherkeys.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keepingherkeys/message

This episode guides you through Entering Hekate's Garden: The Medicine, Magick, and Mystery of Plant Spirit Witchcraft by me, Cyndi Brannen. I begin by answering a listener's question about mugwort. Rooted in plant spirit witchcraft, Entering Hekate's Garden: The Magick, Medicine and Mystery of Plant Spirit Witchcraft guides the reader through exercises, practices, and rituals, teaching respect and gratitude for the plant world and embracing spiritual, physiological and magical properties of plants. Hekate's Garden is a mystical experience that offers transformative effects through plant spirit witchraft, drawing wisdom from Hekate, Medea, and Circe as The Triple Goddesses of Witchcraft. Hekate's Garden is a sacred space filled with plants associated with Hekate, the goddess of witchcraft and magic. The most extensive list of plants associated with her is found in the fourth-century version of the tale of Jason and the Argonauts, which describes a sacred grove in the innermost recess of the enclosure shaded by green trees, where Medea performs her spells. 1.

Especially splendid for the Witches' May Eve Sabbat, often referred to as Beltane today. Beltane was a traditional Celtic fertility festival, while the May Eve Sabbat comes from folklore about witches' gathering to celebrate the season, such as the stories about Walpurgis Night. Around the time of May Eve, Cyndi hosts an annual retreat drawing inspiration from the tales of the May Eve (aka High Spring) Witches Sabbat, focusing on the splendor in Hekate's Garden. The meditation attunes to the mythic witch, Circe, and others as well as ancestral spirits. Recorded during The High Spring Sabbat of 2022, this meditative journey draws us to the secret Witches' Realm, through transforming into Circe's hawk. Through relaxation and breath, the portal to the deeper world opens, awakening us to the mystical powers of The Witch within. Shapeshifting into hawk unlocks the power of transformation, a key skill of all witchcraft. Dr. Cyndi Brannen is a witch and psychologist, who teaches and writes from the crossroads of modern life and the deeper world. She's the founder of Covina: The Coven of Hekate, an online school that merges psychology with the esoteric, centered around the magick, medicine, and mystery of The Goddess Hekate.

Witch, heal yourself. If there is one key that has unlocked my own soul more than just about any other (besides mother and teacher), it is embracing that I am a witch. With all it's glory and pain, to me, being comfortable with one of my core identities has healed me like no other. In this recording, I discuss my own journey from being so in the broom closet that I was behind the brooms to being a public figure, as well as share tips for navigating different spaces, and reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of both staying in the closet and coming all the way out. Of course, Hekate, Goddess of Witches, is a KEY part of this journey, so let's Hail Hekate and claim The Key of Witch.

Coyote Mae and Dr. Cyndi explored the intersection of spiritual programming and liberation through witchcraft. Focusing on their personal journeys and observations, they discussed the insidious nature of spiritual conditioning, from how it shows up in pagan practices to the unconscious restrictions on personal practice. Respect for varying spiritual paths by seeking to understand rather than dominate, and how self-discipline is a key of personal liberation are also covered. This chat goes well with "Rixipyle: The Liberator," in Entering Hekate's Cave: The Journey Through Darkness To Wholeness by Cyndi Brannen, PhD. Available wherever books are sold.

So much has changed since then!This is the first episode in a series on working with specific deities and spirits. I knew I wanted to do this series because of how much my own relationships with deities and spirits has expanded. Of course I had to start with Hekate.

Dr. Cyndi Brannen and Angela Natividad discuss the history and mythology of Drakaina, which translates as She-Dragon and/or Serpent Queen. We discovered this as a title of Hekate (Hecate) in a few ancient texts, and then found art that supports this ancient goddesses' association with dragons and serpents. Interesting, just like everything to do with women, snakes and god(dess). From Medusa to Game of Thrones, and all looping around those fateful events in the Garden of Eden, women's power has been connected with serpents, be they flying or slithering. Some of the books mentioned: The Dragon in The West The Greek Magical Papyri The Chaldean Oracles Ovid's Metamorphoses The Goddess Versus The Alphabet NOTE: We're giving Medusa a full episode that will air later in June 2022.

Hi WitchesThis episode starts off with a book review for The Sin Eater written by Megan Campisi - a witchy fiction book and we delve into the historical Sin Eater tradition. We also have the wonderful Kirsty on the podcast today who is the creator of Mindfully Crafted which blends her lifelong passion for craft with a keen interest in mindfulness practices. Inspired by folklore and the stories our ancestors would have shared while stitching together; among the kits you'll find selkies, deities and symbolism connecting us to the divine feminine. Each kit contains an affirmation to work with as you stitch to help infuse your mindful intention into your art. Unlike traditional embroidery patterns, the focus is not in perfecting the image but in embracing mistakes making the experience an act of self-love and compassion. Just like so many practices within witchcraft stitchcraft is alchemy. Its our way as witches of taking the ordinary and making it magickal.Traditional Spell of Nine KnotsBy knot of one, the spells begunBy knot of two, it cometh trueBy knot of three, thus shall it beBy knot of four, 'tis strengthened moreBy knot of five, so may it thriveBy knot of six, the spell we fix,By knot of seven, the stars of heavenBy knot of eight, the hand of fateBy knot of nine, the thing is mineFind Kirsty over on Instagram - @mindfullycraftedEtsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/mindfullycraftedkitsEmail - sewmindfullycrafted@gmail.comFind Kirstys podcast here - https://open.spotify.com/show/4lHPTOICgDfVS3pOp7YjVs?si=2525aef6a74a45d1Books I reference in our chat regarding the poppets are Entering Hekate's Garden by Cyndi Brannen and Wellness Magick by Sophie L Robinson Please join me in supporting creative beautiful small witchy businesses this Yule but through the rest of the year - these business owners do happy dances when we make a purchase, not like our big conglomerates.

Neste episódio falo sobre o trabalho com as sombras e Hekate. Começo falando sobre os cuidados que devemos ter quanto o trabalho com as sombras e nossa saúde mental e sobre usarmos a bruxaria como muleta. Dou também algumas indicações de textos sobre as sombras e finalizo contando as minhas experiências pessoais: como eu vejo as sombras e como é o meu trabalho com as sombras no meu caminho com Hekate.

Today we have something different than usual. This is an episode all about our Goddess at the crossroads, Hekate. This information also includes a ritual with mudras to use during the evocation and I have attached the article this comes from by Cyndi Brannen below so that you can print it if you like and see the diagrams of the hand positions. Hail Hekate! I felt like seeking the Goddess of the crossroads at a time like this as we endure a crisis in the world might be appropriate if you are feeling lost, confused, upset, worried and all the natural feelings that go along with the world today. Perhaps you are at a crossroads individually as well. I know we are as a global community. Let this ritual of evocation of Hekate bring you closer to the sacredness within and seek her guidance in your life and let it provide comfort to you. She is the goddess that lights the way! Blessings to you all and namaste'! https://www.patheos.com/blogs/keepingherkeys/2018/03/an-evocation-of-hekate-suitable-for-any-rite --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goddessmorningshow/support
