In this episode, we step into the flowing river of truth with Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, creativity, and speech. Too often painted as a quiet, obedient consort in white, Saraswati’s real story tells us something much fiercer: she is the voice itself, the river that cannot be silenced, the truth that flows no matter how patriarchy tries to dam it up.

We’ll journey through her ancient origins as a river goddess, explore how her story was reshaped and sanitized, and reclaim her as the embodiment of creative rebellion and unapologetic expression. I’ll also guide you through a simple ritual to invoke Saraswati’s energy, perfect for unlocking your voice, reclaiming your freedom of expression, or jumpstarting your creativity.

And don’t miss next week’s episode, where we’ll meet Hecate, the torchbearer at the crossroads.

Invoke Saraswati’s Energy: A Simple Ritual for Voice & Creativity

Set Your Space – Light a white candle or sit near water. Keep a notebook, pen, or instrument close.

Hum – Hum a sound that feels freeing in your throat.

Let It Flow – Write, sing, or speak for five minutes without censoring yourself. No editing, no backspacing—just pure expression.

Offer It – Place your notebook, your voice, or even your silence before the candle or water, acknowledging: “This too is Saraswati. This too is sacred speech.”

Close with Gratitude – Thank her and blow out the candle, sealing the ritual.

Perfect for unlocking creativity, freedom of expression, and connecting with divine feminine energy.

Step into the gentle yet fierce energy of Quan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion, mercy, and loving-kindness. In this episode, we explore her rich symbolism, her mythic vow to hear the cries of the world, and how patriarchal systems have historically softened her power. I share how working with her in metta meditations helped me receive compassion when I wasn’t ready to give it to myself. Plus, a guided ritual to embody her energy in your daily life.

Ritual:

Find a quiet space and take deep, grounding breaths.

Visualize a soft, glowing light in your chest expanding with each inhale—your compassionate energy.

Bring to mind someone—or yourself—who needs love, care, or understanding. Send the light to them.

Extend the light further: friends, community, the world. Let it flow without expectation.

Place your hands over your heart and say: “I am a vessel of compassion. I hear the cries of the world. I give mercy without losing myself.”

In this episode, we dive into the story of Inanna, the ancient Sumerian goddess of love, war, fertility, and sovereignty. We explore her famous descent into the underworld, what her story teaches us about boundaries, and how patriarchal cultures have tried to silence her voice—and how we reclaim it today.

This episode is perfect for anyone ready to step into their own sovereignty, honor their boundaries, and embrace the raw, transformative power of the divine feminine.

Ritual: The Seven Strips of Inanna

(Simple, embodied ritual to reclaim your power and sovereignty)

You’ll need:

7 small slips of paper (or sticky notes)

A pen

A bowl or box to collect them

A little space where you can move

Steps:

Set the Space
Sit comfortably with your 7 slips of paper. Take three deep breaths and call Inanna into your space:
"Inanna, She-Who-Descends-and-Rises, I call on your fierce presence now."

Name the Layers
On each slip of paper, write one thing you’re ready to release:

old identity

fear

toxic relationship

outdated belief

people-pleasing

shame around sexuality

anything else that feels heavy or false

The Descent
Stand up. Imagine yourself at the first gate. Hold the first slip to your body, then drop it into the bowl/box as if leaving it behind. Repeat for each slip, one by one. By the seventh, imagine yourself stripped down, raw, and open.

Pause in the Underworld
Stand or sit in stillness. Feel the rawness. Ask yourself: What is left when I release all of this? Who am I without the masks?

The Rising
Place your hands on your heart and speak aloud:
"Like Inanna, I descend. Like Inanna, I rise. I reclaim my sovereignty."
Take three deep breaths, imagining your energy returning brighter, fuller, freer.

Close
Keep the slips of paper in the bowl for three days (mirroring Inanna’s three nights). Then dispose of them, burn, shred, recycle, whatever feels right.

Join Natalie as she dives into the playful, joyful energy of Uzume, the Japanese goddess who laughed the sun back into the sky. Discover her myth, how patriarchy tried to shrink her power, and how her story inspires us to reclaim joy, movement, and embodied freedom in our own lives.

Ritual: The Uzume Giggle Dance

Find your stage: Choose any space where you can move freely, your living room, bedroom, or even a laundry basket if you’re feeling bold.

Start silly: Shake out your body, make funny faces, stick your tongue out, just break the ice with yourself.

Add sound: Hum nonsense, then turn it into exaggerated laughter, fake it if you have to, it will become real.

Dance ridiculously: Wiggle, stomp, throw your arms around, this isn’t about looking “cute” or proper, it’s about freedom.

Seal it: Pause, bow to yourself, and say: “I bring back my own light through laughter.”

Next week, we’ll explore Inanna, the goddess of boundaries and sovereignty, as we step into claiming our power and navigating deeper, transformative layers of ourselves.

What if the parts of you you’ve been told to hide — your fire, your voice, your desire, your rage — are actually the key to your freedom?

In this episode of Sovereign Reality with Natalie, we dive deep into the story of Lilith — the first woman, the rebel, the one who refused to submit.

We’ll explore her archetype, her shadow, and how centuries of myth and patriarchy baked her into our collective psyche. More importantly, we’ll talk about how Lilith’s energy lives on in you — waiting to be reclaimed.

✨ Inside this episode:

The real story of Lilith vs. the patriarchal rewrite

Lilith as an archetype and shadow figure

The “baked-in effect” of myth on our culture and psychology

My personal reflections working with Lilith energy

A guided ritual to invite Lilith’s wild, sovereign essence into your life

Lilith Ritual (as shared in the episode):

Create Sacred Space
Sit comfortably, light a candle, and take 3 deep breaths.

Invocation of Lilith
Say aloud or in your heart:
“Lilith, wild, sovereign, untamed, I honor your power. I invite your energy to awaken within me.”

Mirror Work (Optional but Powerful)
Look at yourself and say:
“I embrace my power. I embrace my voice. I embrace my fire.”

Shadow Integration
Write down what you’ve been told to hide or suppress. Then declare:
“This is me. This is my power. I reclaim it now.”
Tear it, burn it safely, or keep it.

Closing
Take 3 deep breaths and thank Lilith:
“Thank you, Lilith, for reminding me of my sovereignty.”
Extinguish your candle.

This ritual can be done anytime you need to reconnect to your autonomy and power.

In this episode, we journey with Goddess Isis—the great Egyptian mother, healer, and magician—who went to the ends of the earth to remember and resurrect her beloved Osiris. Her myth is more than ancient history—it’s a mirror for us, modern women, as we, too, remember the pieces of ourselves that patriarchy has tried to silence and scatter.

Together, we’ll explore:
✨ Isis’s story of devotion, loss, and fierce reclamation
✨ How her myth speaks to modern women reclaiming their divine inheritance
✨ Why her voice was silenced—and what that reveals about patriarchy’s fear of feminine power
✨ A simple yet potent ritual + journal prompts to help you call back your power and embody your sovereignty

This isn’t just myth—it’s medicine. By walking with Isis, you are reminded that you, too, can rise, remember, and reclaim.

The Isis Power-Calling Ritual for Women

You will need:

A quiet, safe space

A candle (gold, white, or purple are ideal)

Your journal and pen

Step 1: Light the Flame
As you light your candle, whisper or silently say:
"I call the energy of Isis to me. I open to remembering my power as a woman."
Feel her wings of protection and wisdom wrap around your heart and your body.

Step 2: Connect to Your Lost or Hidden Self
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Bring to mind the parts of yourself that have been hidden, dismissed, or devalued—your intuition, creativity, sensuality, confidence, sacred worth. Let those parts rise to the surface.

Step 3: Journal Prompts for Reclaiming Your Power
Write freely, without censoring yourself. Consider these prompts:

Which parts of myself have I been hiding or silencing?

Where have I given my power away, and how can I call it back today?

How does it feel to remember that I am a goddess in a human body?

What is my divine inheritance as a woman, and how will I honor it now?

Step 4: Affirmation & Reclamation
Place your hand over your heart. Speak aloud:
"I call back all my power. I honor my sacred worth. I claim my inheritance as a goddess on Earth."
Feel it ripple through your body. Let it settle into your bones and your being.

Step 5: Close with Gratitude
Thank Isis for her guidance and protection. Blow out the candle if you wish—or leave it burning for a few moments to anchor the energy. Return to this ritual whenever you need to remember your power.
