Elyse Welles and I discuss the worship of the goddess pre-patriarchy. We go over the importance of oral traditions and archaeological evidence in modern paganism. Persephone, Hera, and Artemis are some of our featured goddesses. Elyse also goes over how to work with your land spirits in attainable ways and how to not fear working with the fairy folk.

Join myself and author, Irisanya Moon, in our follow up to our previous episode where that little Demeter clip gained a lot of traction. It’s above 60,000 views now, and I’m over 500 followers on Instagram. That’s how much it’s grown since we recorded (not that long ago). In this episode we define and discuss personal gnosis as well as retelling of the myths (pros and cons).

Join me for mini episodes discussing important topics that may or may not lead to a larger episode. Today’s topic is how colonization hurts everyone and how it contributes to cultural appropriation in pagan and witchcraft spaces. Also, why Hadestown and The Odyssey being popular this summer is a sign of desiring a reconnection to the past.
