The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception with Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso
04 Aug 2024
01:00:03
What if virgin birth isn't simply a story, but a real and documented ancient phenomenon? This is the topic I explore in the latest episode with my guest today, Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso. Marguerite is the founder of Seven Sisters Mystery School, a world-renowned teacher of sacred knowledge, and the foremost authority on the history of virgin birth. A trusted mentor to people on healing and spiritual paths, she draws on her decades-long research and experiences with Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene to help uncover their hidden, timeless teachings and apply them to our present-day needs. The award-winning author of several books including "The Secret Life of Mother Mary: Divine Feminine Power for Personal Healing and Planetary Awakening," and "The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception: Mary and the Lineage of Virgin Births."
In this episode we discuss:
Marguerite's introduction to the Sacred Feminine, first through her interest in Mary Magdalene during her upbringing in the Catholic Church, and later through classes and Goddess pilgrimages which eventually led her to academia
Marguerite's research into the history of virgin and divine births in Ancient Greece, and how this eventually led her to studying the story and history of Mary's birth of Jesus
Why the practice of virgin birth existed and how it was practiced by divine priestesses
The work of the late Sri Kaleshwar and his teachings on the holy womb chakra
Why Marguerite feels this information is coming to the forefront of consciousness at this moment in time

Feral Church with Byron Ballard
05 Jul 2024
00:59:52
My latest guest, H. Byron Ballard, joins me on this episode for her second visit to the Home to Her podcast. Byron is a ritualist, teacher, gardener, and author of multiple books, including "Staubs and Ditchwater: A Friendly and Useful Introduction to Hillfolks’ Hoodoo;" "Earthworks: Ceremonies in Tower Time;" "Seasons of a Magical Life;" and the forthcoming "Feral Church." Known as Asheville, North Carolina’s village witch, Byron specializes in folk magic and folkways of the surrounding Appalachian Mountains where she and her family have hailed from for four generations. Byron is also a senior priestess and co-founder of the Mother Grove Goddess Temple, a nonprofit church with a focus on the many forms of the divine feminine.
On this episode we discuss:
What it means to live in deep relationship to place - both the gifts and the challenges
How the work and the death of the late thealogian Dr. Carol P. Christ inspired Byron's forthcoming book, Feral Church, and why she feels it's so important that we have new books of thealogy (spelling intentional) that celebrate the Goddess
Why it's important that we understand that the Goddess and her many incarnations represent much more than patriarchally lauded values such as softness and femininity, but also ferocity and immense power.
The linkage between the concept of begin feral and the Divine Feminine.
The need for "hearth church" and other homegrown, emergent practices for engaging with the sacred that can continue to exist and flourish as patriarchal systems crumble around us
Byron discussed the late Carol P. Christ, and the importance of her work. Her essay "Why Women Need the Goddess" is an excellent introduction to her work: https://www.goddessariadne.org/why-wo...
Byron mentioned the Unitarian Universalist curriculum, "Cakes for the Queen of Heaven"

The Paradox of the Goddess with Damascena Tanis
26 Dec 2023
01:17:59
When we begin to learn about the Sacred Feminine, many of us quickly realize that She is much more than we have imagined Her to be - and that Her nature is fundamentally contradictory. As Damascena Tanis, my guest for this episode, says, to work with the Goddess is to be repeatedly invited into paradox. Damascena is a writer, astrologer, and a recently bereaved mother, living on the shores of Lake Erie with three earth bound children. She is currently learning how to be the mother of a child who has journeyed beyond the veil. She is also the Founder of the Planetary Priestess Mystery School, devoted to Venus.
In this episode, we discuss the paradox of the Goddess, as well as:
Damascena's spiritual awakening as a pregnant 15-year-old, and what it taught her about the Sacred Feminine
How living in Palestine as a young mother initiated her into a deeper understanding of the feminine
Damascena's work as an archetypal astrologer, and why she thinks it's important to explore what she considers the dimension beyond archetypes
The Venus cycle, its connection to the myth of the Inanna, and how it can guide our own inner journey of self-discovery
The lessons offered by deep grief, which Damascena experienced through the death of her son
Understanding the current conflict in Gaza through the lens of astrology

Fostering Intersectionality: A Panel Discussion
12 Dec 2023
01:02:18
What does it mean to foster intersectionality in traditions that honor the Sacred Feminine? How do we make space for the differences we find in each other in spiritual community, and also within ourselves? This rich inquiry was the subject of a panel discussion presented at the Parliament of the World's Religions in August 2023, and on today's episode, all five panelists reconvene to provide an overview of our presentation and our experiences at the Parliament.
This episode includes a conversation between Home to Her podcast host Liz Childs Kelly; pagan priestess Gina Martin; Creatrix of the Goddess Ministry Lettie Sullivan; Divine Feminine App Founder Caryn MacGrandle; and Mambo and Iyanifa Marie Nazon.
This episode includes:
An overview of each our backgrounds in terms of race, ethnicity, class and spirituality/religion, and how they've shaped each of us
Discussion of what intersectionality means to each of us, and our experiences exploring this at the Parliament
Our process of working together, and its relevance to holding space for intersectionality overall - and how that process has also continued to shape our relationships and how we show up in the world
The importance of nervous systems regulation in intersectional work, exploring the differences between edges and boundaries, and much more
PLUS a special closing song offered by Gina Martin

Artemis: A Goddess for Our Times with Carla Ionescu
13 Nov 2023
01:04:22
When we spend time with the herstorical record of the Sacred Feminine, we might be surprised to find that some of the most well-known Goddesses are far more complex than we've been told. Such is the case with the Greek Goddess Artemis, who is the subject of my discussion with this episode's guest, Dr. Carla Ionescu. Carla’s research centers on the influential nature of Artemis across Anatolia, the Mediterranean and the Balkans. As one of the leading experts in the worship and ritual of the Goddess Artemis, Dr. Ionescu spends most of her time teaching in the field of Ancient History and Women’s Studies, and/or applying for grants to support her research travels. In the summers she scavenges new locations and cities worldwide, digging through the remains of grave sites, ruins, and abandoned buildings, trying to uncover the long-lost mystery that is Artemis, The Great Mother. She is also the author of the book, She Who Hunts: Artemis – the Goddess Who Changed the World.
On this episode, we discuss:
Carla's ongoing spiritual journey, and why it's only been fairly recently that she's begun identifying as a pagan and Goddess worshipper
Her evolving relationship with Artemis, and how it spans research, academia, and more mystical experiences
The challenge of deeply exploring the spiritual nature of the Sacred Feminine within the confines of academic institutions
The unknown and more complicated aspects of Artemis - and why this complexity is exactly what we need right now

Death and the Divine Feminine with Rev. Angie Buchanan
28 Oct 2023
01:12:15
On this episode I'm joined by Reverend Angie Buchanan, Founder and Spiritual Director of Earth Traditions, a Pagan church, and of Gaia's Womb, an interfaith spirituality group that has been producing spiritual retreats for women since 1998. Angie is a life-long pagan, an animist, and has been an experienced magical worker and ritualist for over 40 years. She served on the Board of Trustees for the Parliament of World Religions from 2002 – 2010, offering programs internationally at convenings in Barcelona, Melbourne, and Toronto, and nationally in Salt Lake City and Chicago. Rev. Buchanan is currently a Spiritual Advisor for Pagan students at the University of Chicago, Campus Ministry, and a Certified Death Midwife.
During this episode we discussed:
Angie’s experience growing up in a pagan, animistic household, and how it gave her a grounding in the Sacred Feminine from an early age
How she relates to the Sacred Feminine via archetypes as opposed to through specific deities
Why she views birth and death as the two most important human rites of passage, as well as the similarities between them and how the Divine Feminine intertwines with both
Angie’s own practices for honoring the dead
Why she feels strongly that the “veils” between the living and dead are thinner at certain times of year, such as Samhain and Beltaine

Rewriting Eve with Ronna Detrick
14 Oct 2023
01:09:48
If we exit a repressive faith tradition, does that mean we have to leave all the related stories behind? According to Ronna Detrick, my latest podcast guest, the answer is no - and in fact, there may be very good reasons why we shouldn't. Ronna is the author of the new book "Rewriting Eve: Rescuing Women's Stories from the Bible and Reclaiming Them as Our Own,"and while she left the church and religion nearly twenty years ago, she took the stories of women with her. Her career has included human resources, training, and executive leadership, but these days, she is a spiritual director, coach, speaker, and writer. In addition to her book, she also gave a provocative TEDx talk on an Eve who inspires and empowers women instead of shaming and silencing them.
On the latest episode we discuss:
* How Ronna's experience in seminary ultimately led to the end of her marriage and her decision to leave the Christian church
* Why she feels strongly that the deepest connection we can have to Divinity is the one we find within ourselves
* Why, as she says, it's important not to leave the stories of Biblical women behind, especially considering how they've been misinterpreted by patriarchal institutions
* The secret power and messages inherent in the Biblical story of Eve, as well as the stories of other Biblical women

The Tangible Divine with Kay Louise Aldred
29 Sep 2023
01:07:01
How do we locate divinity within our own bodies, and within the ordinariness of our lived experiences? On the latest episode I explore this topic with Kay Louise Aldred, a researcher, writer, and teacher who catalyzes individual, institutional, and collective evolution through education, embodiment, and creativity (and not to worry, we break this all down in this episode). Kay is the author of several books, all published by Girl God Books: "Mentorship with Goddess: Growing Sacred Womanhood;" "Making Love with the Divine: Sacred ,Ecstatic, Erotic Experiences;" "Somatic Shamanism: Your Fleshy Knowing and the Tree of Life;" and "Embodied Education: Creating Safe Space for Learning, Facilitating, and Sharing."
On this episode we discuss:
The nature of Kay's work, and why she's passionate about using cognition, intuition, and instinct to access deeper, more holistic wisdom
The importance of turning toward the wisdom of the heart when in doubt or confusion
Kay's long journey out of mind-based religion and into a spirituality that fuses mind, body and and spirit
What "tangible divinity" means, and why it matters
How we can make love with the divine through a variety of "ordinary" experiences available to all of us
And much more!

Multiplicities of Magic with Risa Dickens and Amy Torok
14 Sep 2023
01:16:01
The witches are back! On the latest episode I'm joined again by Risa Dickens and Amy Torok, who first appeared on the show in 2021. They're back this time to discuss their latest book, "New Moon Magic: 13 Anti-Capitalist Tools for Resistance and Re-Enchantment." Risa and Amy are also the co-authors of “Missing Witches: Reclaiming True Histories of Feminist Magic”, both from North Atlantic Books, and the co-hosts of the podcast Missing Witches.
On the latest episode we explore:
The nature of sacred activism and the constantly flowing journey between personal evolution and its outward expression in the world
The importance of holding multiplicities and paradox, and how this work is essential to witchcraft
Why differences shouldn't divide us but rather invite us to expand
Risa and Amy's process for collaborating and writing their books together - and in doing so, how they've joined a lineage of powerful women who write together
Our shared loved of dirt, and why it's much more than a metaphor for both the medicine we need AND what's ailing us

The Dance of Water with Juliana Mendonca
30 Aug 2023
01:09:51
How might we connect more deeply with the Divine via dance? What can water teach us about the flow of life? And what happens when we combine the two? On the latest episode I explore this rich topic with Venezuelan contemporary dance performer, choreographer, and teacher Juliana Mendonca. Juliana is an innovative bodyworker influenced by Latin Traditional Dances, Butoh, Contact Improvisation and Physical Theater. In particular, water has represented a very important element for her to understand herself, and Juliana has dedicated many years to creating projects and performances inspired by the element of water. These include the music and dance company Raíz de Agua, La Naciente, Drop & Drought, Sono Somatic and most recently, Liquidanza – a relaxation and dance practice based in the water.
In this episode we discuss:
Juliana's early, formative experiences with nature, and why they made a deeper impression on her than her experiences within the Catholic church
Juliana's journey through formal dance training and into more experimental, flowing forms of dance, such as the Japanese Butoh dance method
Her relationship with water, including what it's taught her, and how she understands it as holding feminine energy that can benefit us all
How we can all deepen our awareness and understanding of the sacred nature of water

When She Wakes with Gina Martin
16 Aug 2023
01:08:54
My guest on this episode is Gina Martin, founding mother and High Priestess of Triple Spiral of Dún na Sidhe, a pagan spiritual congregation in the Hudson Valley of New York. She is a ritualist, teacher, healer, mother, and writer of sacred songs. Her When She Wakes series, which includes the titles Sisters of the Solstice Moon, Walking the Threads of Time, and She Is Here, are published by Womancraft publishing. She is the curator and composer of WomEnchanting: a Compendium of Sacred Songs and Chants. Gina is also a practitioner of Classical Chinese medicine and a Board Certified licensed acupuncturist. She lives as a steward of the land that previously held a village of the Ramapough Lenape where people can come together now to remember the Old Ways. On this episode we discuss:
How Gina's early experiences in the Catholic church informed and shaped her views on ritual and ceremony
Gina's relationship with the Sacred Feminine, and why she feels like despite it all, she often needs to be dragged out into the light as a celebrant of the Goddess (plus some of her experiences in doing so)
Gina's "When She Wakes" series, including her inspiration behind it, and the often ephemeral line between fiction and reality
Her understanding of time, and how this appears in her book series, particularly book two
How the language we speak defines our reality
And much more!

Journey to the Goddess with Annalisa Derr
21 Jun 2024
01:00:58
On the latest episode I'm joined by Dr. Annalisa Derr, a goddess educator, Sacred Feminine embodiment teacher, and ritual theatre creatrix. Annalisa completed her doctorate in Mythological Studies with Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She also holds a BA in Theater with specialized training in masked and physical theater from international master teachers in Italy, India, and NYC. Annalisa's work explores the impact that negative cultural menstrual “myths” have on women, which her forthcoming book will explore in more detail. Annalisa offers an affirming alternative in the form of an ancient myth, “The Descent of Inanna,” which she re-visions as a sacred menstrual narrative and ritual rite-of-passage.
During this episode we discuss:
Annalisa's experience growing up in a Lutheran church, including the connection she made later between devotional Christian hymns and the Bhakti yoga tradition
The near total erasure of the Sacred Feminine in Protestantism, and why discovering Her can feel like such a revelation for many of us
How discovering Mary Magdalene sparked Annalisa's ongoing journey to the Goddess and led her to her current research
What Annalisa refers to as the menstrual mysteries, and how the Inanna myth teaches us about them and the nature of the Goddess Herself - as a gateway through the lessons of birth, death, and rebirth
Annalisa's pending move to Greece and her vision for supporting the reemergence of the Sacred Feminine in patriarchal strongholds
And a bonus - Annalisa becomes the third guest in the history of the show to bring me to tears (in a really good way)! Tune in to find out why.

Nature, Culture and the Sacred with Nina Simons
02 Aug 2023
01:14:58
On the latest episode I'm joined by the inspiring Nina Simons, co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers, an innovative nonprofit organization that highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and planet. Nina has worked with nearly a thousand diverse women leaders across disciplines, race, class, age and orientation to create conditions for mutual learning, trust and leadership development. She co-edited "Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart," and authored the book "Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership," which won Nautilus awards in the categories of Women in the 21st Century and Social Change & Social Justice. During our conversation we discuss:
Nina's awakening to the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, or "Mother Life," as she says, via the groundbreaking documentary "The Burning Times"
Why she feels like so many of our cultural problems can be traced back to an imbalance between the masculine and the feminine
How her work through her 30+ years of co-producing Bioneers has been informed and guided by Indigenous allies, and what's she's learned in the process
How her own understanding of gender bias has helped deepen her understanding of racial bias
How deepening with the wisdom of Sacred Feminine has also invited her home to herself

A Journey of Grace with Hannah Wallace
17 Jul 2023
00:58:27
What does it mean to experience grace? As guest Hannah Wallace shares in this episode, it's often in our most challenging times that the gifts of grace present themselves to us. Hannah is the host of the podcast Finding Grace, where she holds space for conversations about what it means to find grace in the world we live in today. As someone who lives with a life-altering genetic condition, her mission is to guide people to integrate their darkness and light by finding grace in the space that they’re in. Hannah is also a disability model and advocate, a writer, blogger, speaker and priestess. On the latest episode we explore:
How a life-changing illness radically changed the trajectory of Hannah's life at the age of 17
Hannah's extensive exploration of healing modalities, and the moment when she realized that she needed to stop trying to be the spiritual "A-student" and simply just be
How toxic spirituality can convince us that if we are good enough, we will be rewarded with healing (and why this type of thinking is still rooted in patriarchy)
The gifts that the Divine Mother has offered to Hannah along her journey
The role grace has played in Hannah's life

Cultivating Sacred Feminine Community with Caryn MacGrandle
03 Jul 2023
01:08:42
We are stronger together, and perhaps no one knows this better than my guest for this episode, Caryn MacGrandle. Caryn is the creator behind the Divine Feminine App, an online community, that, since 2016, has been connecting women and all genders in circles, and to events and resources. As Caryn says, if you combined the number of years of experience that the users of the Divine Feminine App have in doing the Mother's work, we would be back in time to a society that valued the Earth and the Mother, recognizing that we are all her children and must work together as such. On the latest episode we discuss:
How a full moon gathering sparked Caryn's interest in spiritual community outside the structures of traditional religions, which eventually led to her participation and creation of women's circles.
Caryn's journey away from the Catholic faith of her youth, through Paganism and eventually to Goddess spirituality
How the Divine Feminine App came into being, and why Caryn says its ultimate purpose is to take you away from your computer and into connection with your local community
Why she feels there's no stopping the coming "tsunami of the Mother" (including the fact that it's not a tsunami we need to be afraid of)
Our upcoming panel discussion on intersectionality that Caryn and I will be participating in at The Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago (August 14-18, 2023)

Menstrual Cycle Awareness with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer
17 Jun 2023
01:04:46
What does the menstrual cycle have to teach us - about the nature of ourselves, as well as the importance of living in a cyclic manner? On the latest episode I discuss this with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, co-founders of the Red School, which is dedicated to restoring the power of the menstrual cycle and menopause. Via Red School, Alexandra and Sjanie are pioneering the emerging field of menstruality with a vision that menstrual cycle awareness and conscious menopause are prioritized in every boardroom, classroom and dinner‐table discussion on the planet. Alexandra and Sjanie are also the co-authors of two life-changing books: Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power; and Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging. During our discussion we explore:
Alexandra and Sjanie's individual spiritual experiences growing up, and how each informed their current work with the menstrual cycle
The "exquisite intimacy" of the Sacred Feminine, as Alexandra refers to it
How honoring the menstrual cycle is a spiritual practice in and of itself
The importance of making 1% shifts as we begin to bring cyclic awareness into our lives
The message and meaning of pain as part of the menstrual cycle
How menstrual cycle awareness can teach us to live in a more equitable, sustainable manner

Challenging a Culture of Abuse with Karen Tate
03 Jun 2023
01:10:07
What if domination and abuse are so intertwined with our current culture that we end up accepting them as both natural and inevitable? On the latest episode, I explore these questions and much more with Karen Tate, host of the long-running Voices of the Sacred Feminine podcast and author of the new book, "Normalizing Abuse: A Commentary on the Culture of Abuse."

How her understanding of Goddess spirituality has evolved to an emphasis on activism and social justice
What it means to turn toward partnership systems, particularly as taught by the long-time activist and scholar Riane Eisler, as a way to re-imagine a fairer, more inclusive society

The Wisdom of the Womb with Emmi Mutale
19 May 2023
01:01:42
What does it mean to really listen to the wisdom of our bodies, and what kind of lessons do they have to teach us? On the latest episode, I'm joined by energy medicine practitioner and womb wisdom keeper Emmi Mutale to explore the mysteries and magic held within the womb space. A best-selling author and host of the Sacred Feminine Power podcast, Emmi is dedicated to holding sacred space for deep healing and transformation for women of all ages around the world. On today's episode we explore:
How Emmi's assimilation of the Protestant work ethic fueled her earlier career in the humanitarian field, despite not being raised in a particularly religious household, and how she began to recognize its toxicity and ultimately heal from it
How a meditative encounter with Jesus led her to an ever-deepening relationship with the Sacred Feminine, particularly through the figures of Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary
Why she sees the womb as "the holy of the holies," and why it's so important for women to begin to connect with this source of power, wisdom and strength
The roadblocks we may encounter when seeking to connect with our wombs, and some simple practices we can use to begin to access this wisdom

Exploring PaGaian Cosmology with Glenys Livingstone
05 May 2023
01:05:02
On the latest episode I'm joined by Glenys Livingstone, a pioneering researcher and thought leader who's been walking the Goddess path since 1979. Glenys is the author of "PaGaian Cosmology: Re-inventing Earth-based Goddess Religion, which fuses the indigenous traditions of Old Europe with scientific theory, feminism, and a poetic relationship with place." This book was an outcome of her doctoral work in Social Ecology. Her newest book is "A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos: Celebrating Her within PaGaian Sacred Ceremony," which synthesizes much of her work over the years.
On today's episode we discuss:
* Glenys' spiritual background, including her conversion to Catholicism in her teens, as well as her growing disillusionment with Christianity
* The "a-ha" moment that occurred when she realized, pregnant and unmarried, that knowing a female deity would allow her to view her situation without shame
* What "PaGaian cosmology" means, including how it combines pagan spirituality with scientific theory to give us a new way to recognize and honor Her (the Goddess) as creative life force
* Why it's important that we recognize the inherent power in language and the naming of things and life experiences
* How honoring the equinoxes, solstice and cross-quarter days found on the pagan Wheel of the Year can bring us closer to the Sacred Feminine and provides an opportunity to consciously participate in the creative dance of the cosmos

The Reverence Code with Shawna Bluestar Newcomb
19 Apr 2023
01:03:37
On the latest episode, I have the privilege of being in conversation with Shawna Bluestar Newcomb, of Shawnee, Lenape and Zapotec lineage, who has been opening hearts and minds across the world as an international speaker, visionary leader, intuitive healer, medium, spiritual guide and mentor for changemakers. Shawna is a delegate with the Mother Earth Delegation and has been a featured speaker at universities, global conferences, festivals, podcasts, radio, and online summits. In her dedication to personal and planetary healing, she helps to lead a global movement with her father, Steven Newcomb, for conscious change, speaking out on the Domination Code of cultural and planetary exploitation. Shawna offers a fresh perspective and alternative approach to social and conscious change with her unique teachings on The Reverence Code. Shawna is dedicated to healing for the Earth, humanity, future generations, and all beings in this time of The Great Shift, and a return to what she calls, The Time That Was Before.
On today's episode we explore:
Shawna's spiritual background, including how her Indigenous background immersed her in ceremony as a young child, and how early intuitive experiences shaped her worldview
How the Divine Feminine first spoke to her about what she refers to as The Great Shift while she was vacuuming (yes, really!), and how this underscores the presence of the sacred in our everyday lives
Shawna and her father's work to bring awareness to the harm caused by the Doctrine of Discovery, including the Catholic Church's role in spreading it and how this created what they refer to as a Domination Code
Shawna's own understanding of what she refers to as the Reverence Code, and how it hearkens back to a Time that Was Before
Why she believes it's possible to stay firmly rooted in a state of reverence AND in our so-called real world
Why it's so important to say yes to what she refers to as "Spirit tweets", or those everyday moments of connection to a divine source greater than ourselves

Descent and Rising with Carly Mountain
05 Apr 2023
01:05:46
On the latest episode we're diving deep, using the ancient myth of the descent of the Sumerian Goddess Inanna as our guide, as we explore what it means for women to traverse the underworld of our psyches and return with hard-won, precious wisdom for our life journeys. My guest today is Carly Mountain, a psychosexual somatic therapist, breathworker and writer, whose new book is "Descent and Rising: Women's Stories and the Embodiment of the Inanna Myth" (Womancraft Publishing). For the last 20 years, Carly has worked with sacred embodiment practices, and in her latest book, she explores women's real lived experiences of descent and rising, and familiarizes us with a process of female psycho-spiritual growth pften overlooked in patriachal culture. On today's episode we explore:
Carly's spiritual background, including how she learned powerful lessons of devotion through observing her grandmother's Catholic faith
The myth of Inanna, including its origins and how each character can represent an important part of ourselves to examine and explore
The surprising intersection of pleasure and pain, and how we might find relief and possibly even joy by facing the most exiled parts of ourselves
How the myth of Inanna provides us instructions of how we may change, and why sometimes we wish to refuse the invitation to evolve
How Carly views the Goddess as "the body of the world," and why in this moment in time we're feeling the call to evolve ourselves and our relationship with the planet

Becoming a Land Steward with Belinda Liu
21 Mar 2023
01:09:03
What does it mean to be a steward of land - not just taking responsibility for its preservation but also listening to the wisdom it offers? On today's episode, I discuss this topic with Belinda Liu, a nature-inspired visionary; co-creator of Gratitude Blooming, a movement to explore the deep connections between nature and culture; and co-founder of Hestia Retreat Center, located near Mt. Shasta, California.
On the latest episode we discuss:
Belinda's spiritual background and how her early experiences as a child of Taiwanese immigrants influenced and shaped her understanding of the world.
The moment when the Divine Mother, in the form of sacred land, first made her presence known.
Belinda's journey from the world of education to tech entrepreneurship, and ultimately to land stewardship.
What it means to surrender to bigger possibilities for our lives, even if those possibilities aren't fully clear.
How to move into more intimate relationship with the land that currently supports you.

Say Wow with Chelan Harkin
06 Jun 2024
00:59:03
On this episode I'm so honored to be joined by the poet Chelan Harkin. Chelan's poetry journey began at age 21 on the heels of a traumatic event, a mystical event and an unparalleled creative opening where inspired verse started to pour through her with very little need for editing. Her experience with channeling the muse was profound and intimate but also quite private. It took Chelan 12 years to find the courage to share her poetry with the world through her first self-published book, "Susceptible to Light". This publishing journey that began at the end of 2020 has been something of a magic carpet ride characterized by prayer experiments gone right and has included some of the most awe-inspiring events that have completely shifted Chelan’s way of relating to herself and the world. Her current published books include "Susceptible to Light", "Let Us Dance: The Stumble and Whirl with The Beloved", "Wild Grace" and "The Prophetess: The Return of The Prophet from The Voice of The Divine Feminine".
On the latest episode we discuss:
* How a brain tumor and a subsequent pilgrimage inspired by her Baha'i faith led to a spiritual awakening for Chelan at age 21, which included an influx of divinely inspired poetry
* How Chelan experiences her creative inspiration as a flow of energy that offers tremendous insight and wisdom
* The generative nature of suffering, and why she feels like suffering is simply "energy that hasn't been brought back into the fold of love"
* Chelan's incredible publishing journey, which was presided over by two of her favorite dead poets, Hafez and Khalil Gibran
* Plus, she reads the first poem that ever flowed through her, "Say Wow"
Here are a few notes related to this episode:
* You can follow Chelan on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chani.harkin/. You can also find more information about her at her website, www.chelanharkin.com, and follow her on instagram @chelan-harkin
* You can pre-order Chelan's new book, The Prophetess: The Return of the Prophet from the Voice of the Divine Feminine, here: https://www.amazon.com/Prophetess-Return-Prophet-Divine-Feminine/dp/1401977561

* She also referenced the work of two poets: Hafez, and Khalil Gibran.

If you’ve heard me acknowledge the Indigenous lands I reside on and would like to know which tribal lands you may be living on, you can visit native-land.ca to find out.
Finally, these are the Spanish lyrics to the beautiful song that Johanna sang at the end of our conversation:
Es verdad, que hace tiempo que te tengo en el olvido, que ni rezo, ni me acuerdo, de llevarte rosas rojas a tu altar.
Es verdad, que tu nombre yo no lo digo desde niño, pero ahora, yo, yo necesito que me ayudes y te olvides lo que he sido.
Ave María, escúchame, Ave María, Ave María, tú sabes, tú sabes que yo la quiero y es todo lo que tengo. Ave María, Ave María escúchame, Ave María, Ave María, te pido, yo te pido que no termine, nuestro amor, nuestro amor. (Ave María).
Recordarás, aquellas flores que adornaban tu capilla, eran mías, solo mías, yo las robaba por las noches para ti.
Recordarás, cuantas veces te he rezado de rodillas, mis amigos, se reían, al mirarme, se reían, se reían.
Ave María, Ave María escúchame, Ave María, Ave María, tú sabes, tú sabes que yo la quiero y es todo lo que tengo. Ave María, Ave María escúchame, Ave María, Ave María, te pido, yo te pido que no termine, nuestro amor, nuestro amor nuestro amor, nuestro amor.

Poetry Witchery with Annie Finch
23 Apr 2024
01:04:21
On the latest episode, I'm joined by the wonderfully witchy Annie (Ani) Finch, a poet, performer, artist, scholar and researcher on meter, magic, and matriarchy. In short, she is Poetry Witch.
Ani is the award-winning author of seven books of poetry including Spells: New and Selected Poems; Eve; Calendar;, a verse play on abortion, Among the Goddesses; and The Poetry Witch Little Book of Spells. She is the author or editor of numerous influential books about the magic of poetic craft as well as editor of Choice Words, the first major anthology on abortion.
Uniting all of Ani’s work is her belief in the power of languages of the Goddess to awaken magical change in words and the world. Ani traces her lineage from Norse volurs, Celtic bards, and witches imprisoned in the Salem Witch Trials.
On this episode we discuss:
Ani's spiritual background, including three seminal experiences that led her to the Sacred Feminine
Her provocative theory that women invented religion, based on the experience of the female orgasm
The shifts she's witnessed in the Goddess movement, and where she thinks we're headed now
Ani's understanding of matriarchy, which has been shaped by the pioneering work of Heide Gottner-Abenroth
Why she feels that the muse is the Goddess, who inspires her poetry
Plus Ani reads a few of her poems for us, including a brand new poem celebrating sacred sexuality!
Here are a few notes related to this episode:
Ani mentioned the work of Heide Gottner-Abendroth, who has studied matrilineal societies extensively
Ani also mentioned the work of linguist and archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, as well as many groundbreaking women who pioneered the Goddess movement, including Bebe Frazer, Macha NightMare, Francesca De Grandis, Patricia Monaghan (founder of the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology), Mary Mackey, and Mayumi Oda.
I mentioned the book Tantra Illuminated, by Christopher Wallis.
