That ancient knowing that you've walked this path before… that your soul remembers the sacred vows, the devotion, the divine service. This episode will awaken that remembrance. In this transmission, Athina reveals the true meaning of The Priestess Path, what it really means to carry the Priestess Template versus embodying the archetype. You'll learn how to recognize if you hold this lineage within your soul, how to activate it, and how to walk the path of sacred service with integrity, devotion, and divine alignment. She shares her own experiences walking the Isis, Magdalene, and Pythia lineages and how each woman who carries the Priestess Template is here to restore ancient wisdom and serve humanity through divine love. If you've felt a soul-deep pull toward Isis, Inanna, or the Magdalene lineages, this conversation will feel like homecoming. You'll understand why you're being called, how to navigate the death-and-rebirth process that initiates you into higher levels of service, and what it truly means to embody the codes of the divine feminine.   What We Cover: Discover the difference between the Priestess Archetype and the Priestess Template and how to know which one you hold. Learn how to recognize if you've lived as a Priestess in past lifetimes and are now being called to restore that lineage. Explore the sacred Priestess lineages of Isis, Magdalene, Inanna, and the Vestals and how each holds unique teachings of service and devotion. Understand why the Priestess Path requires initiation, integrity, and divine service beyond personal healing. Learn how to clear old vows and oaths from past lifetimes so you can walk this path in sovereignty and freedom. Experience how reactivating your Priestess Template unlocks deep remembrance, spiritual gifts, and divine mission clarity.

It is both a sacred remembrance and a professional certification, a living mystery school where you are initiated, activated, and trained to embody, channel, and serve through the original frequency of Goddess Isis. This is a temple of transformation, a reclamation of your priestesshood, your power, and your purpose. Across three sacred portals, you are initiated into a full energetic rebirth that unites your body, soul, and service. Portal One: The Path of Remembrance — Priestesshood Initiation & Feminine Healing Your journey begins with your initiation into the Isis Priestess Lineage. Here, you reconnect with the ancient current of Isis herself, the lineage of healing, power, and unconditional love that you have walked across lifetimes. Through energetic transmissions and deep healing, you will dissolve the layers that have silenced the feminine: the mother and father wounds, the sisterhood wound, the distortion of the masculine and feminine within. You will awaken the Ka Body, your divine energetic architecture, and begin to embody your soul gifts, psychic abilities, and feminine essence in ways that feel both grounded and transcendent. You step into the energy of the Priestess, whole, sovereign, radiant, and ready to serve. Portal Two: The Path of Embodiment — Isis Ka® Practitioner Training & Sacred Business In this phase, remembrance becomes mastery. You are trained and certified as an Isis Ka® Practitioner, learning to facilitate Ka Activations and energy healing sessions for others. You'll be guided to offer one-on-one or group Isis Ka® sessions, weave in Blue Lotus and temple-arts ceremony, and lead as a confident channel of the Isis frequency. You will also receive high-level mentorship on feminine-led business, creating offerings that are birthed from your womb, pricing from power, and structuring your sacred work in ways that honor your energy and amplify your abundance. This is where your gifts move from personal transformation into divine service, where you begin to lead, create, and be compensated through devotion, not depletion. Portal Three: The Path of Creation — Sexual Alchemy & Womb Magic The final initiation brings your full embodiment online. Here, you enter the mysteries of Isis Sexual Temple Arts, learning to work with sexual energy as a force of healing, manifestation, and creation. Through womb alchemy, yoni activation, and the integration of the sacred masculine and feminine, you will clear ancestral imprints, ignite your life-force energy, and open new channels of pleasure, power, and divine creativity. This is where you learn to manifest through your body, lead from your sensuality, and create your life and business as living art, an extension of your sacred essence. You are initiated into a living lineage. You leave this temple changed, anchored in your purpose, embodied in your gifts, and equipped to serve as a professional practitioner of the Isis Ka® frequency. Your energy will expand. Your gifts will come online. Your life will begin to reflect the truth of who you've always been, a Priestess, a channel, a healer, and a leader of light. This is Isis Ka®.

AI, UFO's, Ascension... Alien Goddess: Dr. Joanna Kujawa What if the beings we call “aliens” are not invaders from other worlds, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are currently racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote to both challenges resides not in technology, but in wisdom we abandoned long ago? What is the nature of UFO experiences?' Is there a connection between AI, UFO, and the esoteric Goddess Traditions of Inanna, the Eleusinian Mysteries, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and the Pistis Sophia? Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation?

What happens when you stop analyzing the eighth house and start walking into it? We invite you into a guided descent—part myth, part meditation—through sex, death, shared resources, and the hidden currents that shape intimacy and power. Recorded close to midnight, this journey leans on feeling more than theory, letting the night world rewrite how we meet fear, trust, and desire.We unpack the anxiety around “empty houses” by showing why no house is truly empty and how the cusp and its ruler speak volumes. From there, we cross the threshold with stories: Persephone pulled below, Inanna choosing the descent, Hercules learning that force fails underground, and Orpheus softening the gates with song. Each myth becomes a method for real life—how to let go, how to be guided, how to bring music to heavy doors. Along the way we visit the Necromanteion, an ancient temple of the dead, and reflect on ancestor contact as a form of practical divination.This house is where intimacy strips our persona, where shared finances and entanglements test honesty, and where the body's quiet signals tell the truth before our minds can. We explore Reich and Freud on eros and death to ask whether life force is fighting an enemy or simply frees itself when we stop blocking it. Paradoxically, by facing mortality we recover appetite—a warm, steady desire to be here now. And when we come back up, the ninth house opens with clearer meaning because we earned our perspective below.If you're ready to feel into the eighth—beyond clichés and fear—press play, bring a journal, and let a slower rhythm lead.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Carly Mountain. Carly is a sought-after psychotherapist specialising in sex, embodiment, rites of passage and relationships. A seasoned initiatory guide, yoga teacher, breathworker and writer, her work has evolved over twenty years of sacred mythopoetic practice and space holding. She is author of Descent & Rising: Women's Stories & the Embodiment of the Inanna Myth. She lives in Sheffield, England with her husband and two daughters. In this episode we explore how descent becomes a sacred initiation into the Feminine - and how death, shadow, and rebirth are required for the Witch to fully embody who she is. Carly shares the medicine of descent and rising - and what it means to embody naked power - shedding the old skins of shame and fear to reclaim our body, pleasure and powerful truth. Together, we speak about how darkness is a calling, the Witch's descent into the underworld, and how these initiations become portals to remembering who we truly are. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Descent is sacred - a journey of initiation that strips away what is false and reveals the truth of who we are beneath the surface The Inanna myth reminds us that the underworld isn't punishment - it's a descent into the body, the shadow, and the truth that waits in the dark The body is the oracle - when we listen to its trembling, pleasure, and pulse, we find the wisdom that's been buried beneath shame Naked power lives in surrender - when we stop performing and meet life with presence, love and eros begin to move freely again The snake teaches us to shed what no longer fits - each skin we release becomes an act of remembering Descent and rising are inseparable - the more we're willing to descend into truth, the more powerfully we rise in love.

Join host Sue Rose Minahan and special guest Jen Sachs for a potent fireside chat: "PLUTO MYTHOS." Rather than simply an astrological discussion; it's an invitation to explore the profound, metamorphic journey the soul is often required to undergo to evolve. Pluto is the cosmic architect of endings and powerful new beginnings—the planet that demands we shed what no longer serves us to make way for the brilliant, undeniable new evolved experience. As the modern ruler of Scorpio, Pluto mythologically stands as the third brother to Neptune (the oceans) and Zeus/Jupiter (the heavens). He rules the underworld, where the deceased dwell and where treasures reside. (Mars remains the traditional ruler of Scorpio.) This conversation aligns perfectly with potent November 2025 transits. Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio to join a four-planet stellium with the Sun, Moon, and Venus. Furthermore, the November 20th New Moon in Scorpio will form a grand water trine with Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. This is a powerful, collective invitation to drop within and shapeshift inner darkness into guiding light. Essentially Pluto signifies profound endings and powerful new beginnings that accelerate our evolutionary journey. Expect a spontaneous and thought-provoking collaborative discussion that will illuminate these potent moments of transition!

Ever felt the ground give way beneath your life and, somehow, found renewal waiting in the dark? We go there with astrologer Melanie Reinhart as we explore the Eighth House—where loss, endings, and the mysteries of descent turn into a deeper kind of aliveness.We begin with a radical reframing of “death” as the series of mini-deaths that define a lifetime: the mask that falls away, the role that ends, the image we can no longer carry. Melanie brings in Asclepian dream rites to show how healing arrives when we stop managing and start listening. Dreams don't just offer messages; sometimes the dream is the medicine. From Persephone and Inanna to Hermes the psychopomp, myth becomes a living map for honoring thresholds, accepting uncertainty, and noticing the signs that mark true initiation.Intimacy takes center stage as a gateway into the Eighth House. Not all sex is eighth-house, and not all eighth-house intimacy is sexual—what matters is transformation through real energetic exchange. We contrast this with polite arrangements that function but never descend. Along the way, we tackle death denial through the story of Sisyphus: chain up death and you lose meaning. Accept the descent and something winged rises—Pegasus from Medusa's body—foreshadowing the Ninth House's authentic meaning-making that cannot be faked or fast-tracked.This is a guide for moving from the illusion of separateness toward the radiance of love. It's practical, too: don't dig aggressively for shadows; let the underworld emerge. Create sacred space, honor fatigue, keep a journal, and treat dreams as sacred visitors. If you're navigating grief, midlife, or a season of deep change, this conversation offers language, myth, and gentle practices to help you walk on the soul's terms.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's in transition, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.

What if descent wasn't something to fear, but a sacred invitation — to soften, to surrender, to remember who we truly are beneath the noise? This conversation with Carly Mountain felt like sitting beside a fire, slowly warming the parts of ourselves we've hidden away. With tenderness and deep wisdom, Carly guides us into the mythic, sensual, and often-forgotten terrain of the body, of feminine cycles, of descent and rising. This is a conversation about remembering — not just with the mind, but with the whole body. It stayed with me long after we stopped recording. I hope it touches you, too.Carly Mountain is a writer, author of the book Descent and Rising, psychotherapist and initiatory guide. She facilitates women and the people who love them, to remember, reclaim and reconnect with their sensual, emotional, embodied aliveness and instinctual knowing that is rooted in the earth. She draws on twenty years of embodied practice, training and space holding and has a trauma informed approach.In this conversation we explored:

Junto a Sophia exploramos la menopausia como un rito de paso iniciático hacia la sabiduría. A través del antiguo mito sumerio de Inanna y su descenso al inframundo, descubrimos cómo esta etapa vital nos invita a desprendernos de roles caducos, a limpiar el río subterráneo de los duelos acumulados y a cuestionar los valores de una cultura de constante productividad. Sophia también comparte su trabajo como doula de la muerte y la importancia de los rituales comunitarios de duelo. Una conversación necesaria sobre madurez colectiva, ciclos naturales y la valentía de descender para renacer transformados.¡Activa tu membresía hoy!: ⁠⁠www.radiosemilla.com/membresia Notas del episodio:Retiro "El mito de Inanna" en Ecuador y Argentina: mujerciclica.com/inanna-menopausia-retiro/Sigue a Sophia: www.instagram.com/mujerciclicasophiastyle/www.facebook.com/MujerCiclicaProyecto Aliado: Cultivando paz en tiempos de conflicto (Resuena y Casa Semilla): Retiro presencial de comunicación noviolenta en Cotacachi con el equipo de Resuena, 21-23 de noviembre 2025, reclama tu descuento como miembro de Radio Semilla! resuenacolombia.com/cnv-ecuador----------------Escucha Radio Semilla en:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7r8Nb90iI52NzP7dPTHrbw?si=qOncz7SZR16oLFSYeue6iwYoutube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpTL1798UT7oe35ORA1i_8wRedes:⁠⁠instagram.com/radiosemillapodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠x.com/semilla_radio⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/radiosemillapodcast⁠⁠

Let's get ready to rumble against that wickedness in high places. Dr. Joanna Kujawa joins me to discuss her new book, Alien Goddess: UFOs, AI, and the Goddesses of Ascension. We'll discover if the beings called aliens are spiritual entities, visitors from the stars, or possibly ourselves from the future. These anomalous encounters frequently involve a female, goddess-like figure who conveys an alarming message about humanity entering a perilous path. The warning concerns the dark temptation of Artificial Intelligence, which promotes ideologies suggesting that consciousness is akin to computer programming and promises (bullshit) mechanical immortality. The gnosis-antidote to this situation is encoded within ancient wisdom, specifically the mythologies of descent and ascent—such as The Descent of Inanna, the Eleusinian Mysteries, and Pistis Sophia—which offer tools for spiritual ascension.

Dumuzid, the oldest known exemplar of the dying and rising king, is also in many ways the most exceptional. Lover of Inanna, he was apparently quite done with her passionate antics and celebrated when she died, only to be dragged into the underworld for his impiety. But what does it really mean and why has the image endured? James Bleckley of the Oldest Stories Podcast sits down with Nathaniel Heutmaker of the Grail Sciences Podcast to discuss this ancient tale from both an historical and an occult perspective. The Grail Sciences Podcast covers the deeper meaning of the Holy Grail and a variety of occult topics. Nathaniel is deeply read in a variety of world traditions, and expertly weaves it all together over at grailsciences.com/The Oldest Stories Podcast covers the history, myth, and culture of ancient Mesopotamia, from the invention of writing until the fall of Nabonidas. James has been filling out the story of the oldest civilization for over 6 years at oldeststories.net

Inanna, queen of heaven, who descended into the underworld. It is among the oldest stories of the mythology of the world, but also one of the most significant. James Bleckley of the Oldest Stories Podcast sits down with Nathaniel Heutmaker of the Grail Sciences Podcast to discuss this ancient tale from both an historical and an occult perspective. The Grail Sciences Podcast covers the deeper meaning of the Holy Grail and a variety of occult topics. Nathaniel is deeply read in a variety of world traditions, and expertly weaves it all together over at grailsciences.com/The Oldest Stories Podcast covers the history, myth, and culture of ancient Mesopotamia, from the invention of writing until the fall of Nabonidas. James has been filling out the story of the oldest civilization for over 6 years at oldeststories.net

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit der lieben Clara über unsere eigenen Erfahrungen der verborgenen Schattenseiten der spirituellen Szene und unsere Ausrichtung heute.Wir tauchen ein in die antike Göttinnenreligion rund um Inanna und fragen uns: Wo lebt diese Urkraft der Weiblichkeit heute noch – und wie wird sie in modernen Kontexten verzerrt? Wie trägt das Patriarchat dazu bei, dass Frauen von ihrer Sexualkraft abgeschnitten sind?Gemeinsam beleuchten wir:.. Die Falle der Polarity-Szene – wenn Hingabe und Männlichkeit/Frauenbilder ins Ungesunde kippen.. Gaslighting & Manipulation im Namen von Spiritualität.. Was wir aus den Mythen der Göttinnenreligion für eine neue, bewusste Spiritualität lernen können.. die Kraft die im weiblichen Schoßraum liegt.. wie Frauen wieder zurück in die Verbindung zu ihrem Schoßraum kommen .. und so viel mehr!Du möchtest dich mit Clara und ihren wunderbar tiefen Texten verbinden?

Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr. Kate Lister to take us on a journey through the fascinating history of Innana, an ancient goddess of love, war, fertility, and political power. They delve into her evolution from a humble agricultural deity to one of the most powerful and complex figures in ancient mythology, revered in Mesopotamia and beyond. This one goddess influenced millennia of religious and cultural history, possibly extending even to Persephone and the Virgin Mary.MOREPersephone: Queen of the UnderworldSex Work in Pompeii with Kate ListerPresented by Tristan Hughes.

R.F Kuang's Katabasis has reignited the discourse around journeying into the underworld as a storytelling device. We've covered many stories in the past with the theme of Katabasis (namely Inanna and Persephone), so why not deep dive into the various versions of Orpheus' myth especially with Supergiant Games' Hades II coming out! Join us as we trace Orpheus and Eurydice's story from Pindar to Virgil and Ovid all the way to Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Hadestown as we ask the age old question- why did Orpheus turn?  Show notes for this episode can be found on our website at: https://talesfromtheenchantedforest.com/2025/09/24/katabasis-the-myth-of-orpheus/ You can also find us on: Bluesky Mastodon Instagram   TikTok

Happy Autumnal Equinox! Today on the show, Jennifer Mulak and I share our conversation with Dr. Catherine Svehla @drcsvehla ✨ a storytelling scholar and consultant in the field of mythology/depth psychology, artist, creativity coach, outdoorswoman, lover of the Mysteries, mentor in the mythic life and host of the Myth Matters Podcast. She helps people reframe their questions or their story, and explore the connection between being true to oneself and spiritual growth. She believes there's an inner knowing, a source of direction and truth in your psyche that's waiting for you to rediscover it. Dr. Svehla will be at the Arts Society of Kingston this Thursday, September 25th from 7-9pm for a workshop supporting folks to go deeper into the myth of the Transformation and the Myth of Inanna Workshop where folks will be invited to "EXPLORE THE ROLE OF TRANSFORMATION IN YOUR LIFE THROUGH A GUIDED JOURNEY INTO THE ANCIENT MYTH OF THE GODDESS INANNA AND SEED YOUR PSYCHE FOR DEEPER ENGAGEMENT WITH THE GREATER MYSTERIES RITUAL-PERFORMANCE AT WIDOW JANE MINE." Previous knowledge of the myth is not required.During our conversation, Dr. Svehla takes us through her own journey from confusion to creativity and how myth and consciousness helped to shape her own clarity and the way in which she now supports others. Her dissertation on the archetypal exploration of The Law of Attraction in American self-help culture folds into our conversation as we unravel some of the myth of unlimited human potential. Two hours was not nearly enough time to explore these rich topics that she surfaces for herself and others in her work. We're still in deep contemplation...Jennifer and I close the show with some sharing on the Equinox and the transition into and through this new season.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

 "Not just about crowns and glitter and farting unicorns"This episode is a dark conversation for the dark half of the year.

The three witches discuss the themes of sacrifice, symbolic death, and of letting go to make room for something new when the light returns.Prepare to be challenged, comforted, and called inward as Ness shares insights on spiritual death, ancestral healing, and the fierce power of dark goddesses, even when wounded.

“Pleasure held in presence becomes a doorway to the divine.” – Maya Luna Maya Luna is a mystic, poet, and teacher whose work bridges embodiment, eros, sacred rage, and the deep feminine. For over 15 years, she walked the path of the sacred prostitute, offering not just erotic touch, but portals into the ineffable through reverent presence. She now teaches embodiment practices, spiritual transmission, and the ancient mystery religion of Inanna through her podcast Forbidden Fruit, her Substack Naked Fruit, and her devotional gathering Venus Church. Maya's teachings are a fierce reclamation of the sacred within the erotic, the angry, and the unseen. Her work invites us into radical intimacy with the moment—and ourselves. In this episode, Maya shares: How embodiment practices can open gateways to divine presence. Her 15-year journey as an “undercover priestess” in the world of sacred sex work. The difference between agenda-driven pleasure and sacred eros. Why she believes sacred rage is as vital and misunderstood as sacred sexuality. The power of self-led transformation and why she hands authority back to the student.

The Great Mother is one of the most primordial archetypes, and one today that has lost some of her original potency. We either tend to wash away her intensity by reducing her to "creativity" or "nurture" or project her power outwards, turning it into the witch, the monster, the devourer.In this episode, Mariana is joined again by Alyssa Polizzi to explore the true potency of the Great Mother, both in her majesty and terror. They draw from a host of stories and mythic figures including Demeter, Tiamat, Inanna, Vasilisa, and Psyche to trace the outline of the Great Mother in her true archetypal complexity.In our dream interpretation section, we explore a listener's dream of encountering a woman in white at the edge of a forest.ANNOUNCEMENTSMariana's ARCHETYPAL TAROT SCHOOL is still open until September 6th: https://persephonessister.com/archetypal-tarot-schoolRegister for Alyssa Polizzi's upcoming workshop The Empress Reimagined: https://alyssapolizzi.substack.com/p/monthly-empress-reimaginedAnd join her Substack The Artemisian w/ a 15% discount: https://www.theartemisian.com/sorormysticaCheck out Mariana's upcoming class Princess, Priestess, Goddess, Witch: A 4-part exploration of the archetypes of Feminine power in Western consciousness: https://persephonessister.com/ppgw/

Send Catherine a text Message“You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.”-- Joseph CampbellIn this episode we explore the mythic theme of leaving home as a central part of answering the call to transformation. Drawing from myths such as Inanna's Descent, Valemon the White Bear King, Psyche and Eros, and The Odyssey,  we reflect on the symbolic and literal meanings of “home,” and how leaving it often initiates deep personal change.Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

In this deeply personal episode, Eleonore opens the door to her inner world and shares the raw, unfiltered truth of her past two years. What began as a call to step into greater purpose became a sacred initiation through collapse, surrender, and deep inner transformation. From burnout and identity shedding, to motherhood, priestesshood, and mystical rebirth, Eleonore reveals how the journey of the feminine leader is one of cyclical death and rebirth. This is a story of healing, remembering, and rising—and it may mirror your own.Inside This Episode:What it really means to be initiated as a feminine leaderThe four stages of the Death-Rebirth journeyLetting go of the overachiever, over-giver, and old identitiesThe winter season of surrender and the return of the lightWhat it means to walk the Priestess PathHow the Mystery School mirrors this journey and why it begins at the Fall Equinox

Send Catherine a text MessageSpecial episode with guest singer-composer Kelli Scarr!Scarr released her new album Greater Mysteries, a musical journey through the spiraling cycle of transformation, last month. The Sumerian myth of Inanna is one of the touchstones in this beautiful work, and I'm grateful to Kelli for taking the time to talk with me about the making of the album, her engagement with Inanna, and our collective transformation."What I hope that this album does is brings solace and inspiration, and holds people's hands through their ears to say it's worth the risk. It's worth the risk of dying in all of its forms. Because even when what is on the other side isn't what you thought it was going to be, it's so much better."-- Kelli ScarrThanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Song: Get Up Music by: Barbara McAfee Additional vocals by: Lia Falls   Notes: Barbara McAfee describes herself as "A nice Minnesota girl -- I like things that work!" -- and in her framework of the Full Voice, she has shaped the teachings of skilled choir leaders and the Roy Hart vocal work, as well as her own discovery of her voice into just that -- a framework that works! She says, “I've never believed more in the need for people to find their own voice…” and observes the deep courage of people coming to community sings for the first time after vocal wounding. The work of Angeles Arrien inspired Barbara in her own journey, and this song pulls in the grittiness and determination needed to keep waking up. Barbara adds a surprise bonus song in the middle of the episode -- "May It Go Easy As You Go" -- as we talk about singing as a way of saying what's hard to say. So much more in this conversation -- "twisting on a meathook", scheduling "workity-work" things, doing laundry before listening to the muse -- enjoy Barbara's Full Voice, and let it help you find yours!   Songwriter Info: Barbara lives on the wild and scenic St Croix River about an hour from Minneapolis/St Paul. She is a master voice coach, songwriter, song leader, hospice choir director, long distance swimmer, poet, and author of Full Voice.

It is a deep and profound honor to welcome my teacher, Shannon Port, onto the podcast, who shares generously with us about the path of the true Divine Feminine. This episode is not to be missed and is a potent stream specifically for our listeners.In our conversation, Shannon shares how she came into this work from an early age, the unfolding of her life's work and magnum opus, and how this path has been one of leaning way in to relationships, love, heartbreak, and living and learning all of it.She makes important distinctions between the feminine and masculine spiritual paths (honoring all of it), and brings this work squarely back to relationships of the heart.Shannon Port has been teaching and sharing with the world a profound body of Feminine Archetypal Wisdom for the past two decades through the Divine Feminine Wisdom Teachings in Light Body Yoga and Light Body Woman. Art of the Feminine is a Cosmic Feminine Stream received by a true Female Initiate who has been working in the frequency of the Goddess since birth. Shannon has lived these Mysteries and has traveled the deep feminine path of Goddess Initiation, working closely with the Divine Feminine Spiritual Hierarchies, to restore and regenerate The Inner Mysteries of Divine Love on Earth. Through her heart and her Word, she shares this transmission as her soul's mission. The work here has been lived, tasted and fully integrated and digested. It is beyond sacred and holds the Divine Feminine Impulse for the coming Age of Venus and The Goddess Epoch.In this episode, Shannon covers:- the trajectory of her life's work since childhood- her embodied initiations, and the path of the solar feminine- why spiritual growth is about alchemy, not bypassing - especially within love and sexuality- why the feminine mysteries have been left out and are a critical missing piece- how the woman's heart is the mothership that births, sustains, and redeems life- why Shannon's work is an expression of a living lineage—not theory, but transmission through embodimentI can't wait for you to listen.

Synopsis: Sargon of Akkad forges the world's first Empire. “After Enlil's baleful glare Had slain Kish like the Bull of Heaven, Had slaughtered house and land of Uruk in the dust,      like that monster bull, And Enlil had then and there given Sargon, king of Agade, Lordship of Uruk, kingship of Kish, From the lowlands to the upper regions, Then did holy Inanna busy herself to build Agade, the temple city, as her sublime dwelling, In Ulmash let her throne be set.” – The curse of Agade Map of SW Eurasia: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/A5_Map.png Map of the Akkadian Empire (by Simeon Netchev, World History Encyclopedia): https://www.worldhistory.org/uploads/images/15457.png?v=1748640186-0 Episode Images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/75506172@N07/albums/72177720326959608/ References and Further Reading: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/A5_References.pdf Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com if you would like to advertise on this podcast.

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.

Her fourth album, Greater Mysteries,is out on this Friday, June 13, and marks a new creative chapter which draws on timeless mythic journeys to the underworld, and it is pulsing, potent, and sublime. This album serves as an invitation into the initiatory cycle of transformation—where endings become beginnings, and something new is ready to emerge.Though Kelli's work has spanned format and musical style, all of her projects embrace a sense of experimentation, improvisation, and sacred seeking through song. On this episode, Kelli discusses how the myth of Inanna inspired her new album, the power of song channeling and sonic embodiment, and the transformational way music connects us to the universe.Pam also talks about the divine link between songs and spells, and answers a listener question about using magic to rekindle her creativity.Songs featured in the episode are all from Greater Mysteries by Kelli Scarr:“Knowing is the Call”“Pneuma”“The Yes That Leads”Check out the video of this episode over on YouTube (and please like and subscribe to the channel while you're at it!)Our sponsors for this episode are UBU Skills, Mixed Color, Sister Temperance Tarot, Mineralogy Project, BetterHelp, LOGOS Candles, and Black Phoenix Alchemy LabWe also have print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here, and all sorts of other bewitching goodies available in the Witch Wave shop.And if you want more Witch Wave, please consider supporting us on Patreon to get access to detailed show notes, bonus Witch Wave Plus episodes, Pam's monthly online rituals, and more!

Send Catherine a text Message“The Church says: the body is a sin.Science says: the body is a machine.Advertising says: The body is a business.The Body says: I am a fiesta.”― Eduardo Galeano, from Walking Words In this episode I tell the second part of Inanna's story, the courtship and marriage between Inanna and her honey man, the shepherd Dumuzi. Ripe in every sense, Inanna engages in a passionate and symbolic union that celebrates physical desire, renews the life cycles of nature, and expresses the creativity  and eros of the cosmos. Her myth illuminates the sacredness of embodied experience and the transformative power of creative union, and challenges traditional dichotomies between spirit and matter.  Inanna invites us to reconsider the sacred through the lens of wholeness, integration, and reverence for life in all its forms.Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

In this episode of Gatherings, we welcome writer and mythic guide Carly Mountain, author of Descent and Rising. Together, we explore the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna, a powerful narrative of descent, embodiment, and feminine transformation. Carly shares how the myth mirrored her own personal journey and why it continues to speak to modern women facing burnout, identity shifts, or creative rebirth. We explore the myth's cultural resurgence, its symbolic contrast to artificial intelligence, and its call to reclaim erotic intelligence, surrender, and embodied wisdom. Carly reframes surrender not as weakness but as the courage to meet what's real—and sees descent not as failure, but as the doorway to collective healing. For those navigating inner thresholds, this episode may serve as both map and medicine. For more information about Carly's book and workshops: Writer, Psychotherapist and Women's Initiatory Guide.

Enheduanna was a high priestess, poet, and princess of ancient Mesopotamia. She is widely considered the world’s first known author by name. Her deeply personal hymns and poems, many dedicated to the goddess Inanna, mark the first time an author writes using the pronoun I. For Further Reading: World History: Enheduanna The Earliest Known Author Was a Woman from Mesopotamia The World’s First Named Author Was a Woman This month, we’re talking about Word Weavers — people who coined terms, popularized words, and even created entirely new languages. These activists, writers, artists, and scholars used language to shape ideas and give voice to experiences that once had no name. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.

While Truth Fairy is away, Dr. T hosts this episode solo, welcoming Scott Hill, author of “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, who completed his PhD with a dissertation titled ‘Building a Jungian Framework for Understanding Psychedelic Induced Psychotic States' at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Dr. Hill shares his early transformative encounters with LSD in 1967, which, though initially ecstatic, devolved into psychologically traumatic events. These experiences led him on a lifelong journey of self-exploration, academic inquiry, and healing.  Scott shares his journey very openly with Dr. T and they discuss how Scott's return to academia in Cailfornia, studying under Stan Grof and Ralph Metzner, deepened his understanding of his own experiences. They examine how Jung's concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes reflect in intense psychedelic states. Scott details how key reading, Holotropic Breathwork, a medicine circle. and an MDMA-assisted therapy session at Burning Man, and MDMA-assisted therapy all helped heal his ongoing flashbacks.  Dr. T and Scott Hill share a deep and revelatory conversation, at the end of which Scott expresses gratitude for the path he was forced onto in spite of how painfully it began. He describes writing and academic research as transformative tools and identifies scholarship as a spiritual practice in its own right. “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, Dr. Hill's book, is now foundational in psychedelic psychotherapy circles, and his insights are key to understanding much about psychedelic psychology. “As I read about the myths of Gilgamesh, Inanna,, Job and Christ, I was struck by the resonance between passages in those myths and my difficult psychedelic experiences. Given the Jungian view that myths are expressions of the archetypal unconscious, and given the resonance I experienced reading those myths, I started to wonder whether my terrifying trips, and perhaps those of others, might be understood, in Jung's words, as experiences of an archetypal nature.” - Scott Hill About Scott Hill:Scott J. Hill, Ph.D., lives in Sweden, where he conducts scholarly research on the intersection between psychedelic studies and Jungian psychology. He holds degrees in psychology from the University of Minnesota and in philosophy and religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies.Book: “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience” by Scott J.

This myth was recorded at the beginning of history and describes a pivotal time in human civilization. We're reckoning with the developments of this time, today. Inanna's myth can help us find a place-- as individuals, communities, and countries-- in the transformation that's currently underway.

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!

This week on MYTH, we're returning to the dawn of time for a tale from the very first city. You'll learn that you shouldn't trust a bad gardener, that cities make great hiding places, and that turning the seas to blood is a favorite pastime of pissed off deities. Then, in Gods and Monsters, the god of pestilence is going to risk a zombie apocalypse for a one night stand. Source: Mesopotamian Mythology

Christos Mysteries, Venus Codes & the Path of Devotional Rebirth Resurrection is not a return. It is a transformation. A transfiguration of your essence. A becoming. And in this episode, we walk the winding spiral of that sacred path—through myth, mystery, and the marrow of your own remembering. As resurrection codes light the sky and soil, we explore Christos consciousness beyond dogma, the Venusian rebirth that asks us to lead with fierce compassion, and the myths that mirror our modern-day healer's path—Inanna, Isis, and the ever-evolving Earth herself. In this episode, you'll receive:  A soul-rooted exploration of resurrection as the healer's path  What Venus' journey reveals about sacred will, spiritual leadership, and love with boundaries  A breakdown of Christos mysteries through esoteric + anthroposophical lenses  The healer's truth: Why you don't need to be “fully healed” to be fully effective  Resurrection stories of Inanna, Isis, and Jesus as mirrors for your own evolution  The spiritual significance of Venus + Earth's sacred geometry  How Venus initiates the heart as a clairvoyant organ of perception  Prompts for your own resurrection and embodiment of soul gifts Catch the replay of The Healer's Compass

Kelli Scarr is an American singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Kingston, NY. She is also the founder of Vera Jean Music, a pioneering record label dedicated to championing the talents of women artists over the age of 40.On May 12, 2025, she unveils Greater Mysteries, an immersive album and performance experience inspired by the ancient myth of Inanna. Born from a 2022 artist residency in Crete, and recorded in Iceland, the album invites listeners to connect with their own cycles of transformation. Transcendent piano and airy woodwinds intertwine with Scarr's otherworldly voice and the earthy pulse of the rhythm section, alongside contributions from an array of surprise musicians—creating a soundscape steeped in myth and mystery.Raised in Northern California, Scarr's musical journey began in church, eventually leading her to Berklee College of Music before settling in New York City. Over the years, she has woven her way through an eclectic range of projects, from fronting the bands Moonraker and Salt & Samovar to a significant collaboration writing, recording, and touring with Moby. Her artistry extends into film scoring, where her emotive and organic approach—favoring live musicians and improvisation—has set her apart. She earned an Emmy nomination for her score to the HBO documentary In A Dream (2008) and has composed music for dozens of films, TV shows, and commercials. Notable projects include the documentaries Advanced Style and Far Western, and the forthcoming After All (2025), for which she composed the score and contributed six original songs.As a solo artist, Scarr has released three albums—Piece (2010), Dangling Teeth (2012), and No Rush (2021)—establishing herself as a singular voice in atmospheric, deeply emotive songwriting. Her forthcoming fourth album, Greater Mysteries, marks a new creative chapter, offering music as an initiatory experience. The project will unfold through intimate preview concerts in the Hudson Valley, culminating in immersive cave performances this fall and beyond.Today we get to dive deep into Kelli's creative process in the making of Greater Mysteries from the seeds of inspiration that came from many sources such as Talk Talk by Spirit of Eden, Maureen Murdock's "The Heroine's Journey," and Dr. Catherine Svehla's mythical wisdom to the whisper from her psychic about Greece in her future. Kelli shares about the magic and mystery of her residency in Crete, how the voices of Odeya Nini and members of the Threshold Choir appeared to lend magic to the album, and we listen to three songs - "Knowing is the Call," "The Yes that Leads," and "Aphrodite" - as we meander through the myth of Inanna and how transformation happens to us..."she's not dying, she's flying free."Hudson Valley audiences will have an exclusive opportunity to preview Greater Mysteries before the rest of the world.

In episode 485 astrologer Elly Higgins joins the show to discuss the 8-year repetitions of Venus retrograde in Aries and how they tie into queer history over the past century. In this episode we start with the Venus retrograde in Aries of 1905, and then work our way forward in 8 year increments, discussing how important moments and turning points in queer history keep coinciding with this retrograde. In the process we ended up finding a bunch of repetitions, many of which give insight into the Venus retrograde that we are currently living through today.

“Voice is the most valued part of yoga. How you communicate and how you are received and heard as a student, as a teacher, as a divine human being.
