Vesta & The Flamekeepers 16:09

22m ago16:09

16:09

In the heart of Rome, a fire once burned that was never allowed to die. For nearly a thousand years, the Vestal Virgins tended the sacred flame of Vesta, goddess of the hearth, bound to silence and chastity, yet entrusted with the survival of an empire. To outsiders, they appeared obedient: virgins cloistered in ritual. But beneath the vows lay a p…

Familiars - The Witch’s Shadow 23:42

3d ago23:42

23:42

In every tale of the witch, something moves just beyond her body - a cat’s green eyes, a hare in the fields, a raven circling overhead. These are the familiars: companions, protectors, and echoes of the witch’s own spirit. In this episode of Hex & Muse, we walk with them. From the witch trials of England and Scotland, where imps and “witch’s teats”…

6d ago21:52

21:52

In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, we step into the liminal — the hedgerows, crossroads, and dusky thresholds where folklore tells us the veil is thin.

In the far north, where winters stretch into endless night and the aurora dances above snowbound forests, the Sámi noaiddit—shamans, often women—once drummed their spirits free.

Ep 50 - The Myth of Constant Growth: Why Rest, Pause & Simply Being Are Sacred 22:55

14d ago22:55

22:55

We’ve been told growth should be constant — more money, more achievements, more healing, more upgrades. But here’s the truth: life doesn’t work like that. The land lies fallow, the goddess rests, the seasons spiral. Growth is cyclical, not linear. In this episode, I explore The Myth of Constant Growth — and why your pauses, your quiet seasons, and …

23:04

The cradle creaks, the wind walks, and a mother begins to wonder if the child in her arms is truly her own. In a coastal village called Skeaghbay, the old protections are still kept: iron at the threshold, salt at the sill, a bowl of cream left out for unseen neighbors.

She is called Wisdom. Not the tidy kind that never falters, but the ancient presence that remembers the first light, the questions before law, the breath inside matter itself.
