Hapi was Egypt. The life-giving waters of the annual flood (inundation) were his work; and thanks to these waters, Egypt flourished, its people were fed, the gods received their offerings, and the social order was maintained. From the New Kingdom, papyrus and ostraca record songs/poems to the river god, called "Praise (dua) of Hapi." From the days of Ramesses II, we also have elaborate proclamations to the god and his blesings... A Hymn to Hapi (excerpt) Hail to you Hapi, who comes forth from the earth, Who arrives to give life to Egypt (Kemet), Hidden of nature, like darkness in the day, Whose followers sing to him, Who floods the fields, created by Ra, Who causes every herd to live, Who satisfies the desert, which is far from water, He (Hapi) is the moisture, descending from the sky… ... Egypt is awakened; its exhaustion has gone! All the creatures celebrate, when (Hapi) makes the Two Banks green. When he pours forth abundance, among the old and young alike. How lovely the lotus, whose blossoms dot the flood, that they may tell the happiness to come. ... Come, O god (Hapi)… do not be slow! Do not be cruel, reducing what we have, for you might do wrong to the innocent… May you (Hapi) give breath to the nose, when you come. O Hapi, do not sink into the ground… Your perfection is here before us, so that we may turn back to your keeping; and the gods are near… ...

At Styx and Bones, we don't just study the goddesses—we teach how we see ourselves reflected in them, speak their names, and develop archetypes based on their historical epithets to help us reflect, reconnect, and remember.In ancient Greek religion, goddesses weren't abstract. They were complex, multifaceted beings known through their epithets—names like Areia, Paphia, Enodia, or Soteira. These titles held real meaning in temples, rituals, and the lives of worshippers. Today, we research and reconstruct these forgotten threads—not just to recover history, but to reclaim our own stories through them.These archetypes, developed through our research at the temple. are more than categories—they're mirrors. They help us see ourselves reflected in the divine, and understand how each aspect of the goddess teaches us something about power, love, war, beauty, protection, and more.Intro: (0:00)Greek Goddess Archetypes Boxes, Readings and Myths:(4:00)Aphrodite, The Adonia and More on Extra Members: (5:55)Why We Developed Greek Goddess Archetypes: (10:09)Breaking Down the Greek Goddesses into Our Archetypes: (15:22)How We See Ourselves Reflected in the Greek Goddess Archetypes: (56:12)Check out our Patreon, Styx and Bones Temple's Store, Blogs and more! ⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/styxandbonessFOLLOW STYX AND BONES ON SOCIAL MEDIA⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonestemple⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@styxandbonestemple ⁠⁠FOLLOW HIGH PRIESTESS CHELSEA⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/highpriestesschelsea⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@highpriestesschelsea⁠⁠FOLLOW DR.

In this episode, we go deeper into the ancient feminine power they tried to bury.Before patriarchy rewrote the narrative, women were seen as sacred. Goddesses like Inanna, Hathor, Lilith, Aphrodite, Oshun, and Shakti weren't just symbols, they represented fertility, sensuality, leadership, wisdom, and divine authority. But over time, their stories were distorted or erased altogether.This episode is a reminder that your power has ancient roots. We're not reclaiming anything new, we're remembering what they tried to make us forget.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of Spiral Deeper, our host, Gaby Azorsky, speaks with Makana Barnes. Makana is a native Hawaiian from the island of Kaua'i connected deeply to her ancestors and the world around her. She walks in both worlds. Her love for her island and its people is strong. Makana loves spending her days with her daughters making lei, herbal medicine, art, as well as finding shells and acorns. During her second pregnancy she remembered the innate wisdom our bodies hold, and reclaimed how she wanted to birth her lineage. That journey led her to the path of birth tending, helping other women reclaim their power in their birthing journey. Together, they dive into Hawaiian Spirituality, Makana's story, ancestors, gods and goddesses, myth, mana, motherhood, and visiting the islands.

After watching this entire recording of the Women of Earth Project Empowerment Call #8, please register the Matrix Code NCRADIO3.75 in your free account at StartOver.xyz. This Experiment is worth 1 Matrix Point. -------- The land holds a heartbreaking beauty that pulled the old Gods and Goddesses to appear here in their many shapes. Function follows form. This got me thinking. If I shape myself in a form attractive to the Archetypal, I might entice it to bless me with its intense caress of Love and its unshakable clarity of empowerment.  What if I can shape an entire gameworld in such attractive form? What if I can remind my fellow women that their natural shape is one that the Archetypal cannot resist? What if I interact with my sisters as if they were already so irresistible? Wouldn't that be quite something? This was our territory of exploration yesterday in the #8 monthly Women's Project Empowerment Call.  A longing for "More" is a call towards the Archetypal. "More" does not come from other people meeting you where you want them to be. "More" comes from allowing yourself the Radical Love of Consciousness pour through you. The bigger vacuum you create, the more life will be sucked into your wake. We started defining new Archetypal Conversations in addition to the Possibility Lab Process of the Archetypal Women - Men Conversation (The Masculine meeting the Feminine for healing). Archetypal Conversations are first meant as a profound healing to complete, integrate and place in the past a Low Drama that has lasted for hundred or thousand of years. We are talking here about the abuse of men on women, but also the abuse of white people on black and indigenous people during colonization time. Yesterday the conversation centered on the Jewish / Arab, Israeli / Palestinian war extending to any conflict happening now on Planet Earth.  What if instead of having Women and Men healing, we would bring Women and Women raging, grieving, completing their abuse with each other? Maybe at the end, they would stand panting, staring at each other, both side with their heart crack-opened and be able to truly SEE that the Women across from them are EXACTLY like them: Women, in pain, feeling, loving fiercely, and wanting to heal, but who also just like them have let their children being caught in the crossfire of psychopathic warmongers. Could this happen? I think it could. I think the women could do this.  -------- Women carry seeds for projects that are in fact bridges to regenerative cultures. It is time for these seeds to sprout, but obsolete thoughtware often interferes. If you think, 'I need to have it all figured it out before I start.', 'I do not know how it goes.', 'I am alone.' These patterns keep patriarchal structures in place. Something completely different from this is possible right now. The Women of Earth movement specializes in transforming old thinking and feelings patterns and weaving effective team collaborations.  Each month we will select two or three women's projects to amplify.  Your project does not need to be contexted in Possibility Management. The requirements are that your project is: 1. Source by one or more Women.  2. A Bridge to regenerative culture: we are interested in project that empower edgeworkers to reclaim their authority, regain their dignity, become the source-person of their life by exiting the Patriarchy, and occupying next culture.  Projects range from training programs, half-way houses, single mom's centers, permaculture projects, gameworld consulting, and more. You are invited to join without a project as an amplifier for your sisters' endeavor.  In monthly online Project Empowerment meetings we will distill next steps and immediately practice them.  SPACEHOLDERS: Anne-Chloé Destremau & Vera Franco WHEN: on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from @7.30-9pm CET Next meeting: Tuesday 17 June, 2025 INVESTMENT: monetary free. REQUIREMENTS: You already had a first contact with the Women of Earth movement through a WoE Possibility Team, WorkTalk, or Rage Club; or you have participated in an Expand The Box Training or a Possibility Lab in the last year. The Women of Earth context is centered on Radical Responsibility, Nonmaterial Value and Authentic Adulthood Initiations. We will apply Archan thoughtware. REGISTRATION: Please fill in the form at https://forms.gle/dijFk5wB8Tm5Wag57

Here we present the audio from our fifth book club meeting discussing the book Goddesses in Everywoman by Jean Shinoda Bolen

it gets a big dodgy here. Juno wasn't just Jupiter's wife. She was also his sister.

Narrator: Thomas Jones

Dead or alive? Today, we feature one of each: two exquisite female singer-songwriters from the 70's - one a heroin casualty, and the other a remarkable example of patience rewarded. Judee Sill could have been a Laurel Canyon diva on the order of a Joni Mitchell, but, an unquenchable, self-destructive thirst put a stop to her success; and, Linda Perhacs, a name lost in the archives of time, until a fluke, third-generational cult of folky weirdness reopened her long dormant chrysalis of talent. JUDEE SILLThere is a recent documentary, LOST ANGEL, that covers the tragic spiral and conflicted soul of the artist Judee Sill: reform school alum, heroin addict, prostitute, prisoner… followed by the release of two widely admired albums, then, tragically, her untimely demise at 35 from an O.D. But, it's her music that matters and endures: startlingly original, quirky, deeply felt folk rock, tinged with ironic humor and pain, in a mix that elicits complex emotions. As Jesus loved the sinners and rejects of this mottled world, Judee, fearing that she would be lost, longed for the salvation that the Savior would bring. And, in the persona of the  “Phantom Cowboy”  (also the title of a 1935 Western movie), Judee evokes that ever elusive “Action” hero that will come, rescue her, and carry her safely to heaven.LINDA PERHACSIn this, our internet age, it's been posited that everyone has the potential to be a star - but in 1970 there was a different algorithm working, and for a dental hygienist with musical talent… what were the odds?Linda Perhacs's brilliance had a shot at being acknowledged when the dental hygienist gave her demo to a patient, the noted film composer Leonard Rosenman. He got the message, and produced her first record, Parallelograms. It was released and sank, and Linda resumed her quiet life. Cut to 2014 - 44 years later, and Linda's record is rediscovered, thanks to “The New Weird America” folk music movement. It was repackaged and released on CD, and what a blessing to hear that ethereal, crystalline voice reanimated.  And, at 81, with a couple more albums out, Linda is a dental hygienist no longer. She's an inspiration to aspirants everywhere. 

Book 3 in a 4-volume library.The Resort along the way to the SageBased on the work of BradentonLarry, in 6 parts.  Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Toshia found riding on the Wizard's flying carpet strangely arousing. She had heard or read somewhere that dreams about flying were supposed to be about sex, and pretty much everything in Eros made pretty much everyone, and some things, aroused. Still, there was something particularly wonderful about sailing over the countryside with the wind whipping through her hair and over her bare skin that Toshia was finding extremely stimulating. She looked out and down at the forest beneath her as she reclined on one side, half leaning back against Victor who sat closer to the center of the carpet. Nicole, still very much uncomfortable with flying on this open vehicle, huddled up next to the big, muscular man's other side. Amy and Don were up at the front of carpet piloting and looking for a tower at the head of a river, respectively. On the back part of the carpet, Shelonda seemed to be napping. Toshia was coming to think of this merry little band as something of a family – a happily incestuous family, of course, with Don and her as the patriarch and matriarch, naturally.Watching the landscape floating past below, thinking warmly about her companions, and feeling the delicious tingling in her loins signaling the inevitable return of her lust, Toshia rested her head on one hand, while letting the other hand move slowly down the front of her body. She caressed the curve of her breast through the thin fabric of the short dress she had gotten from the Wizard. Toshia thought back to how she had met the Wizard and his beautiful wife, Madeleine for the first time. True to Don's word, they had left the Sisterhood the morning after the big orgy in their honor. Daphne had agreed to "give them" Victor and Nina, but the little serving girl protested that she wanted to stay with the sisters. Victor, however, was quite happy to join Toshia and Don's little band. Then, the sextet.That's perfect! Toshia thought to herself with a smile as she gave her breast a squeeze. The sextet then climbed aboard the flying carpet and flew back to the Wizard's spacious estate. After they were bathed, in wonderfully warm water, and clothed, the Wizard and Madeleine fed them and made them welcome. At first, as something of an odd formality that made the other's chuckle and grin, the Wizard fucked Toshia with surprising vigor while his wife enjoyed Victor's hard cock. Don and the girls actually managed to wait until Toshia had her first shuddering orgasm and Victor filled Madeleine's pussy with his cum (after she had at least two orgasms of her own) before they joined in the party. That evening was a wonderful blur of sex. Toshia pinched her nipple through her dress as she thought back to the moment when she had mounted the Wizard as he lay on the floor, Victor pushed his wonderful cock into her ass, and she had taken Don into her mouth and throat. With each of her orifices truly and delightfully filled, Toshia had let the boys use her body as she rode a long series of orgasms to near oblivion.Toshia smiled to herself, as her hand slipped lower, pressing against her belly, as she thought of the easy, happy atmosphere of the Wizard's home – so comfortable after her days with the satyrs and the sisters. She thought of the strategy meeting, at which the Wizard offered them the continued use of the magic carpet as well as more clothes. It was at that meeting that Madeleine noticed that they had made an unwarranted assumption about what the Crone had told Don. They had all assumed that when she had said, "Go down into the valley and follow the river there to its source..." she meant the valley they were currently in, or at the top of. In fact, though, she might have meant only the valley of the river she was talking about. Of course, this meant that they probably had much more searching to do than they had expected, and they were now on their third day of flying along rivers looking for towers. Madeleine's observation naturally enough cast a pall on the group's mood. Seeing this reaction, Madeleine had quickly added, "Since this might take some time, and you've already been through so much, why don't you come with my husband and me?" She explained that the couple was planning a little trip to visit the Manor for the first time. Toshia found herself eagerly agreeing to take a couple of days' vacation from the quest to get home.As her hand caressed the skin of her thigh, just below the hem of her short dress, Toshia remembered how happy she had been to return to the Manor again. Making the Wizard and his wife the guests of honor, though Victor had never been to the Manor either, Toshia and the others made a point of showing them a good time. Toshia was surprised at how comfortable she was in the Manor. In spite of everything that had happened, it was actually Toshia who suggested that they split up for the first night, into girls and guys. Toshia pushed the hem of her skirt up and raised her leg as she moved her fingers up along her thigh as she thought of the fun the girls had shown Madeleine that night. It had been party night in the disco again, and Madeleine threw herself into the revelry with abandon. At some point, it became a competition to see how many men each of the women could make cum. Toshia's fingers traced lightly over her moist lips as she remembered the playful frenzy of that night. As before, things started out in the foggy pit, and all five of the women began to fuck and suck in the smoke and pulsing music. Toshia parted her lips and ran a finger up between them, spreading her juices over her eager little clit, as she remembered being on her hands and knees in the "slow dance" room pushing back on her seventeenth cock of the evening. Only a little bit in front of her Madeleine was sprawled on her back getting fucked vigorously by one guy as three others stroked their cocks over her, spraying cum all over her beautiful face and tits.Toshia was now playing with herself in earnest, her fingers stroking against her clit and occasionally pushing into her pussy. All the while, she remembered the wild, playful events in the Manor. She thought of how Don and the other guys had found her and Madeleine cuddled sleepily in the black light room covered in cum. Don had kissed her lovingly, took her in his arms, and proceeded to make love to her passionately, while the Wizard did the same with his slutty wife. Toshia shuddered a little as she thought about how she had later lived up to her promise to herself and managed to take on both the Player and Igor – a double-teaming that had left her spent and adrift in a delirious sea of ecstasy.Toshia's memories were interrupted then as Victor's big hand reached around to cup her breast and squeeze it. She sighed and rolled back a bit more to look up into his smiling face. She felt Shelonda's hand moving up along the inside of her leg and parted her thighs further to let the girl have access. Shelonda rested her head on Toshia's lower inner thigh and promptly sucked Toshia's clit into her mouth. Toshia gasped and began to work her arm around so she could get her hand on Victor's cock. Unlike the rest of the group, Victor remained naked so Toshia was easily able to take hold of his stiffening member. Victor bent down to kiss Toshia's yearning mouth. Toshia was twisted there on the flying carpet, making sure she didn't keep Shelonda from her pussy and clit, but hungrily sucking and biting at Victor's tongue as his strong hand squeezed her tit. Soon she was shaking and moaning as her first airborne orgasm swept through her body.Without letting go of Victor's thick shaft, Toshia caught her breath and managed to gently push Shelonda away from her pussy. She smiled down at the other woman's impish face, and then twisted around to face Victor, who also turned so that he was kneeling on the carpet facing Toshia. Nicole was alarmed by all of this sudden commotion, and grabbed at Victor's bicep as she took in what the others were up to. She opened her mouth to object, but immediately realized any protestation would be futile. Instead, she peered around Victor's shoulder to watch as Toshia pulled herself up into Victor's lap and got her mouth on his cock.Toshia eagerly began sucking on the thick, dark shaft, savoring the feeling of the hard, warm flesh sliding past her lips and over her tongue. She was delighted to feel Shelonda's persistent hands moving up between her legs again. Soon Toshia had two of Shelonda's fingers pushing up into her as she sucked on Victor. After only a minute or two of this, though, Toshia knew that she wanted more. She gently pulled away from Shelonda again, and clambered up so that she was straddling Victor's lap. Shelonda saw what Toshia was doing at once and quickly reached into Victor's lap to take hold of his straining cock. Holding onto his broad shoulders, Toshia lowered herself down onto the organ Shelonda aimed into her pussy. Toshia threw her head back and sighed as she felt herself wonderfully filled. She sat there, impaled, with her head back and eyes closed for a few moments, just enjoying the feeling of that cock inside her. Then she slowly began to grind and ride up and down on Victor. The big man's hands held her waist snugly, and she leaned down to kiss him. She gave herself up to the sensations her body was sending her way: the wind in her hair and on her naked arms and legs, the strong chest pressing the fabric of her dress against her breasts, the strong thighs underneath her, the mouth on her own, the tongue against hers, and most of all the thick penis sliding in and out of her grasping, wet pussy. Then she felt Shelonda's hand on her butt, squeezing and caressing it. Toshia turned to smile at the adorable young woman, who leaned in to give Toshia a quick kiss.Then Toshia watched as Shelonda turned her attention to Nicole, who obviously thought that these in-flight shenanigans were madness. Looking to the front of the carpet, Toshia saw that Don was watching her riding Victor. He smiled encouragingly and she responded by grinning back at him and increasing the tempo of her fucking. She decided that she wanted to make Victor's big cock fill her up with its cum, and then that she would have Don add his. She slid up and down on Victor's shaft, squeezing her pussy around him, and looked out to see the countryside flying by beneath them.Toshia saw that Shelonda had managed to distract Nicole enough that the two women were lying down behind Victor making out. Shelonda had her hand up under Nicole's skirt, and Nicole had one hand on one of Shelonda's perfect tits and the other squeezing Shelonda's no-less-perfect ass. Toshia heard Amy say, "Oh, now this isn't fair at all!" Don said something in response, but Toshia was preoccupied with working herself toward a second orgasm and her determination to make Victor come.She felt the thick phallus inside her swell and then Victor was shaking and shoving up into her as he pumped his thick cum into her pussy. This pushed Toshia over the edge and she threw her head back and cried out as she trembled and came, clenching and milking Victor's cock as they climaxed. When the trembling subsided and she could think again, Toshia sagged forward on Victor.Smiling, Toshia kissed Victor's forehead and turned to Don, saying, "Your turn love."Don didn't respond but kept looking ahead, in frantic conversation with Amy. Looking beyond the two of them, Toshia saw what seemed to be a walled town or something spread out on a shelf on the side of a mountain. Then, high up the mountainside by a large lake Toshia saw a pinkish tower. While she had been fucking, Don and Amy had found the tower! Then she noticed that although Don and Amy were obvious excited, they seemed more panicked than enthusiastic. Without taking the time to get off Victor's still-hard cock, Toshia called forward, "What's wrong?""We're losing altitude," Don said brusquely."Fly higher?" she offered weakly."I'm trying!" Amy said with obvious exasperation."We're going to hit the mountain!" Nicole gasped."No, we're not going to make it that far," Shelonda said. "It looks like we're going to hit that wall.""No we're not!" Amy said with more determination than confidence.Toshia had a moment to look beyond the wall in question, and saw the town she'd noticed a moment earlier consisted of several rather large buildings of multiple stories, and a bunch of smaller structures. In the center of "town" was what looked like a very large pool or fountain, and it now looked like that was where they were headed – rather too quickly, Toshia thought.They were over and past the wall then, and people in the town noticed them and there were outcries from below."Can't we just stop?" Nicole asked in a panic."I've been trying to do that!" Amy shouted.Toshia realized they were about to crash and she was still kneeling there with Victor's prick up her. She laughed and said "Damn!" at the same moment, and then they hit the water.Victor held her in his arms as they went tumbling forward and under. Toshia felt her back brushing the hard stone bottom of the pool and then Victor let go of her. She pushed away and opened her eyes, which had been closed tightly since the moment before impact. There were arms and legs everywhere in the water, all flaying about wildly. Trying to keep her wits, she pushed up from the bottom and quickly broke the surface of the water; it was only a little over chin deep. She wiped the water out of her eyes and looked around. She saw the others bob to the surface, and noticed that their few packs were floating around. Don found her and asked, "Are you all right?"She smiled at his concern and said, "Yes, I think so. Are you?""Yeah," he nodded. Then he was hugging her tightly. "It's all fun and games until your flying carpet runs out of gas, eh?"Toshia laughed and said, "Let's check on the others."They quickly found that everyone was fine, if very wet. They were scattered in a swath from the point where they had hit the water, with poor Nicole having travelled the furthest. They saw that they were in a truly humongous swimming pool, which was fortunately not too terribly crowded. No by-swimmers had been hit by the carpet or its riders. The sextet gathered up their belongings, and Victor, who had none of his own, took up the slack by hauling the sodden, heavy carpet out of the water. As they made their way to the closest side of the pool, naked people began to swim out to them with concern and curiosity. The bottom of the pool rose as they went, until they were able to wade on out. A large crowd of onlookers gathered around. Toshia, Don and the others looked back at them, trying to sort out which questions to ask first.Before anyone could make any progress, though, a tall blonde woman with cowboy boots, cowboy hat, a pleated skirt, and a light denim vest complete with a six-pointed star badge. The only thing she was missing was a six-gun at her hip. Instead she carried what seemed to be a heavy baton, which naturally enough looked a bit like sex toy to Toshia. Of course, she was pretty, though she had a stern expression on her freckled face. This fully-clothed woman fixed a coldly serious blue eye on the bedraggled newcomers, and said, "What's the meaning of this?"Don stepped forward and said, "Well, we crashed, ma'am.""Crashing into the pool is not allowed," the woman said."Is it specifically against the rules?" Don asked."As a matter of fact, it is," the woman said crossly. "The pool is to be used for swimming and sex only. I'll have to arrest you all for breaking that rule as well as reckless operation of a vehicle and careless endangerment of resort guests.""Resort?" Toshia asked, as she looked around at the large buildings she could see over the heads of the crowd. They did look a bit like hotels or casinos."Look, ma'am..." Don began."Sheriff," she asserted."Sheriff," Don smiled, "I assure you this was a terrible accident. If we come with you peacefully, will you give us a chance to explain the situation?"The Sheriff scowled at Don and the others and then nodded curtly. "Come this way. Mike, make sure they didn't leave anything in the pool. Bring anything you find to me."Mike was apparently a young woman with short, bright red hair, who nodded and promptly waded into the pool.As the curious crowd parted and then began to disperse, and the party of resort crashers followed the Sheriff, Toshia looked around more carefully. Sure enough, the poolside was lined with chaise lounges and umbrellas. Scattered about were little tent houses. Further from the pool were little bungalows and about half a dozen much larger buildings. The Sheriff led them between two of them, each with a bold sign out front. The one on the left was called "The Jungle Room", even though there must surely be many more than one room in the building. A grinning ape with a raging hard on swung from sign's "g". On the right was the "Clockwork Club", whose sign showed off gears and pistons. Not surprisingly, along the way, they passed a number of people who were busy with a variety of sexual activities. Toshia also noticed, here and there, a man or woman moving about in what seemed to be uniforms, carrying towels or beverages.The Sheriff led them to a smallish building in the shadow of the Clockwork Club. Pushing a wooden door open, she admitted them to an outer office straight out of a typical western. There was a single desk, a perfunctory wall to screen the office from the two cells in the back, a chair for the Sheriff and that was about it. After hanging her hat on a peg by the door, the constable sat on the edge of her desk, crossed her long legs in front of her, and said, "OK, let's hear your explanation."If Don was distracted by the woman's obvious physical charms, Toshia couldn't tell. He simply smiled and said, "Thank you, Sheriff. You see we were trying to reach the tower in the mountains above your ... resort.""The monastery tower?" the Sheriff asked."I don't know about the monastery," Don shrugged. "We're trying to find the Sage, and were told to look for him in a tower at the source of a river.""I believe there is a sage of some sort up there," the Sheriff nodded."Well, we were trying to get there when all of a sudden our ... vehicle just stopped working.""It 'just stopped working' right over the resort?""Well, not exactly," Amy offered. "It started losing power some distance downriver. I didn't notice at first, but then I couldn't get it to cooperate. It just kept going in the same direction, but lower and lower."The Sheriff looked at Amy carefully, and then said, "Well, you seem to be telling the truth, and nobody was hurt, so I suppose we can let this one incident pass. I'll be keeping an eye on you, though. Don't cause any more trouble or you'll end up in one of my cells.""Thank you, Sheriff," Don bowed a little."Excuse me, Sheriff," Toshia interrupted. "Can you tell us the best way to get to the tower?""There's a road up the mountain. You'll want to go out the East gate." When it became clear that they had no idea where the East gate might be, the Sheriff stepped back outside, pointed them in the right direction and gave a few basic instructions.As they continued on their soggy way, Victor made the slightly surprising announcement that the carpet was already dry, and proceeded to roll it up for easier carrying."What do you think happened?" Nicole asked."I have no idea," Amy shrugged."I do," Don said. "Remember that candle the first day we were here, Toshia? The one that went out in the secret passage?""Yeah," she nodded."And the Wizard said his power was centered on his house, or something like that. I think we finally flew the carpet too far from the Wizard, or his house, so it ran out of mojo.""Why didn't we just crash, then?" Toshia asked."What?" Nicole gasped.Don shrugged, and said, "I really don't know. Maybe it's just the kind of thing that fades out, like sound or light; it's not like you hear someone in the distance until you go one step too far – they fade out. And maybe the thing that uses up the most power is steering, then altitude and finally forward motion. I don't know; I'm just guessing here, but it does seem to make some kind of sense."Toshia and the others puzzled this over, but only for a short time, because they now came to the high wall that surrounded the resort and the very large metal gate that was set into the wall. They could look through the heavy bars and see the rocky terrain and a path outside the resort. In the center of the gate was a large impassive metallic face; it was quite out of character with the rest of the resort as they had seen it.Don stepped forward to look for a handle. Finding none, he took hold of one of the vertical bars and tugged, and then pushed. The gate didn't budge."Excuse me," said a deep voice. "Do you always walk up to people and grab them without so much as a 'good afternoon'?"They all looked around in confusion, until Shelonda pointed up at the face on the gate. It was now obviously looking at them with a deep frown."Oh, uh," Don stammered. Toshia chuckled. Even after everything they'd been through Don kept expecting things to be more mundane than they were here."We're terribly sorry," Toshia said to the metal face. "We're not from around here.""Yes, I know," said the face with an exasperated expression. "You're the folks who crashed into the pool.""Ah, you heard about that?" Toshia smiled."Heard about it? No. I experienced it.""Hello," Don blurted. "How's that?""I experience things like that," the face explained with apparent strained patience. "Things that happen to the resort happen to me.""Fascinating," Don mused."Well, we're terribly sorry about crashing into the pool... or into you, if that's more accurate," Toshia pressed. "We were just going to continue on our way up the mountain path through there, er, you.""But you just got here," the face frowned."Well yes, but we weren't trying to get here, but to the tower," Toshia explained.

In March 2025, NHPR's Rick Ganley sat down with legendary J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf to talk about his memoir, Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters, and Goddesses. Told with wry humor and heart-wrenching honesty, Waiting on the Moon offers an intimate look into the lives of artists, writers, actors, and musicians—their creative drives, personal struggles, and the complex ties that bind them. This conversation was recorded live at The Music Hall in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on March 18, 2025.

How does the energy of Jezebel feel to you? Is she spicy, sexual, ritualistic… And could you see yourself showing up with your ancient beliefs in the God, Baal and the Goddess Asherah at the doorstep of a monotheistic culture? And then converting them to your ways? Was the world open to sex magic, blood magic and the teachings of a High Priestess? Jezebel was a teenage Phoenician Princess who married Ahab, the King of Israel as the story in the Bible is told. Jezebel was also a Priestess of Asherah and showed up with hundreds of priests of Baal, priests of the grove, and a polytheistic religion. A political alliance could not have survived the difference between their spiritual beliefs, Yahwism and Baalism. As most powerful women in the Bible, she was vilified, condemned, and murdered by a powerful prophet. Jezebel is now a cautionary tale to not be promiscuous, powerful and in your own integral energy.

In this empowering episode, Morgan dives deep into the often-overlooked Queen archetype—the missing link between Mother and Crone in the traditional triple goddess model. She shares her personal connection to this phase, how it has shown up in her spiritual journey, and why it deserves to be embraced as its own sacred stage of life.  Morgan explains how the Queen archetype blends sovereignty, confidence, compassion, and boundaries into one powerful identity. She also walks listeners through how Queen energy differs from Maiden curiosity, Mother nurturing, and Crone wisdom, and why so many women find themselves floating in that in-between space, unsure where they belong.   If you've ever felt like you're not quite a mother anymore but definitely not ready to be called a crone, this episode is for you.  For Patreon members, this week's bonus content includes Morgan's favorite magickal helpers for embodying Queen energy, such as gemstones, oils, and tools to support you as you step into your power.

In this episode, I'm wrapping up my Goddess series by diving into the world of the Modern Goddess—what she meant to our Neolithic ancestors and how she still lives in us today. Inspired by my journey through Old Europe and the work of archeomythologist Marija Gimbutas, I explore goddess-worshiping cultures and the rich symbolism they left behind—like the snake, the egg, and sacred water—as guides for understanding cycles of life, death, fertility, rest, and regeneration.But this isn't just a look at ancient history. I share practical, grounded ways to embody the goddess in your daily life today—through community care, seasonal and cyclical living, everyday rituals, and even the herbal allies I keep close (sometimes literally in my pockets!). If you're longing to reconnect with the Earth, slow down, and live in a more regenerative rhythm, this episode is an invitation to awaken the goddess within and bring her spirit into the heart of your modern life.

Mystery cloaks this beautiful representation of the Goddess, Isis, or is she the Mother, Sophia? Representing the spirit of female wisdom, The High Priestess is the first Divine Feminine energy that is introduced in the Major Arcana of the Tarot. Sitting in between the worlds of spirit and matter, she divines messages from spirit. She is the keeper of the records of all knowledge and wisdom, the memory since the beginning of existence. The High Priestess rules the subconscious mind and she is able to receive the blueprint of manifestation which is foundational energy for a witch's practice. Join April and Maggie as they dive into her energy and the history of the illustration by Pamela Colman Smith. Pamela was gifted in her psychic abilities and her artwork has stood the test of time in the collective consciousness.

Siobhan Maguire returns to the show to discuss her work which is helping bring about more of a balance between the masculine and feminine aspects of our world.  We discuss twin flames and how we can all shed the vices and bring in the virtues in order to help restore more feminine balance in our male dominated society which has existed since the fall of the Goddesses from the time of Atlantis.  All we need to do is to stay in our Hearts, have Faith and Surrender!

In this episode, I explore ancient perspectives on death through the lens of the Goddess—especially as she was honored in Neolithic cultures. We'll journey into the cave as a sacred womb and tomb, examine burial practices, and consider the powerful symbolism of figurines, bees, butterflies, and the 'stiff white lady'—all expressions of transformation and regeneration. These stories remind us that death was once seen not as an end, but as part of a cycle of renewal. I also share the herbal wisdom of lemon balm, a plant long associated with the Goddess and healing rituals, and how we can use it today as an ally in our own times of transition and rebirth.———— MY ONLINE COURSES

Nyx, the primordial Goddess of Night, emerged from the void of Chaos. She may be the first incarnation of the Divine Feminine in the Greek and Roman tradition as her sentience thought herself into existence from outside of time and space.  Nyx is void of all light and her essence as an inter-dimensional being expresses the all powerful energy of the Goddess.  Nyx can provide a cloak of sacredness for protection when doing rituals. She is the ruler of the veil between the worlds of spirit and matter, and can assist between dimensions. There is a myth that Nyx laid a silver egg and from that silver egg would hatch and come forth all the rest of the Gods. In some of the old stories, Nyx can asexually reproduce and she gives birth to Eris and Nemesis. She is also the mother of the Graea, Moirai, and Ananke. Nyx is said to have birthed many primordial energies. Her nickname is Nurse of the Gods and may be the only force that Zeus is afraid of. Explore this primordial Goddess of Night and how you can work with her for your manifestations.

In this video, I explore the ancient presence of the Snake Goddess in Old Europe, drawing from the work of Maria Gimbutas and her groundbreaking book The Language of the Goddess. I share images of Neolithic goddess figurines—dating from around the 10th to 8th century BC—and point out the hidden or stylized snake forms that appear on these sacred sculptures. Together, we look at how these images symbolized regeneration, rebirth, and deep ancestral connection, linking the snake to the underworld and to the living earth beneath our feet.I also talk about the beautiful relationship between the snake and the bird—how one connects to the sky above and the other to the depths below—and how this polarity shows up in ancient iconography. We travel from the deep past into the folk traditions of Romania, where the house snake is seen as a guardian spirit, a bringer of happiness, and a vital force that keeps the energy of a home flowing.To anchor these symbols into everyday life, I share how mint and mint family plants can be used to connect with this sacred serpent energy. From their growth along stream banks—where snakes often dwell—to their uplifting, clarifying presence in the home, mint helps us reconnect with the snake's wisdom and keep our inner and outer spaces fresh, alive, and protected.————2025 HERBAL FOUNDATIONS APPRENTICESHIP
