Tending the Flame

Brónach (She/Her) and Denise (She/They) take a deep dive into their personal experiences and understanding of their gender and sexuality and how that intersects with their spirituality and personal relationship with the Divine. 

This is a no holes barred episode covering the beauty and power of Bisexuality, gender fluidity and what living a conscious Queer life looks like for them. 

There is also some mad talk of a Polyamorous Jesus, the misrepresented Mary Magdalene, Brónach's dream time life hopping with Vin Diesel and Denise's completely unrelated trip to Enniskillen.

We pick up where we left off and hear more of Harmony's thoughts on social media and her experience of disconnecting. We touch on the importance of self care and filling your own cup first and what it looks like to have good boundaries. Harmony reflects on her reconnection with her body and her body hair and her understanding of the impact of the male gaze and validation. With some hones, unabridged wisdom on how she handles anger as a woman.

Our guest on this episode is Elaine Johnston, spiritual teacher, mentor and active break work facilitator.

We got her take on spiritual awakenings, how her work came about and how the pandemic changed the landscape of her personal and professional practice. We also get the low down on Angelic breath work and her hopes of holding more women's circles in the future.

Elaine's funny, real and down to earth approach to life is inspiring and a little infectious and we are so excited for this episode.

Macha's Twins: A Spiritual Journey with the Celtic Horse Goddess by Kate Fitzpatrick

Welcome to our first episode of 2021! We want to thank you all so much for your support and feedback in 2020 and we are so excited to be on our second season with amazing interviews lined up for over the next few weeks.

As our namesake came from our inspiration and love for the Goddess Brighíd, we wanted to begin 2021 with a special episode focusing on the Celtic celebration of Imbolc/Imbolg/Saint Bridget's Day. We discuss the etymology of the holiday, what it means for us, some ritual ideas and practices and other general philosophy and thoughts coming into the new season of spring. The wheel will keep on turning and we shall emerge out of the darkness.

This year has felt like an eternal Winter. A constant state of hibernation, of survival, of seeking warmth and protection. As the calendar year draws to a close and we are entering the depths of the Winter season, Denise and Brónach talk about their understanding of the Winter Solstice, sacred sites on the island of Ireland that you can visit this time of year and certain rituals or practices that they themselves have practiced to beckon in the return of the light again.

This week Brónach and Denise discuss their mutual love for the Celtic Goddess Brighíd, as she is one of the things they bonded over when they first met. From their love of fire to their triple goddess tattoos, they discuss Brighíd’s Pagan mythology and with a couple of anecdotes along the way discuss the Christianised version of the Saint Bridget that we have come to know more freely today. Our love of her is so strong that her myth and story has come to be the basis of our podcast name, “Tending the Flame.” The inner intuitive flame, the outer flame of the community and keeping the strong fire burning.

Denise shares some experience with finding and working with her spirit guides and Brónach chatters about her new found interest in Satanism.

Other such topics covered when discussing books that we are reading are trauma, effective communication, feminism, gender and sexuality.
