In this episode, I'm joined by Mel Gutierrez, who is a yoga teacher, personal trainer, energy healer, dominatrix-in-training, and a scientific-minded body researcher who bridges the gap between science and magic. She is a cool ass person and I'm so excited to have her on the podcast! Mel and I talked about the intersection of sex and death, rather than the usual phrasing of "life and death", and how these two often-taboo tools and experiences are powerful ways to empower ourselves. She shared about the idea of the body as the first temple of manifestation and also how we can hold the nuanced reality of disease and illness. We discussed concepts such as conscious kink, seeing sex as something creative, and knowing that death is a force beyond our control. It's a super juicy episode and probably in one of my top ten fave interviews ever.... so give it a listen!.

In this episode, I'm joined by George Lizos, an author, psychic healer, and Hellenistic priest.

He explains that the gods are not just archetypes, but mirrors of the universe and reflections of universal laws and functions. George also talks about the Greek Wheel of the Year, which honors all 12 major gods and goddesses, and the practice of setting up personal altars to establish a connection with the gods. We discussed the power of connecting with ancestral spirituality and finding a sense of home in our practices.

In this episode, we are exploring the dark divine feminine, which is an aspect that can be found in all of us, regardless of gender. Dark goddesses can be found in almost every culture, pantheon, and mythology as an essential aspect of humanity and working with them as deities or archetypes can be deeply healing to our shadow selves.

We are talking about the myths of Lilith, Inanna, Persephone, Eris, and Melusina, as well as a little insight from the love goddess, Venus, too. I'll be delving much deeper into these goddesses and the shadows and aspects of us they represent during my presentation on dark goddess asteroids during the summit! If you upgrade your free summit ticket to the All-Access Pass, you'll also get instant access to my Heal the Witch Within quiz and course to help you determine which dark goddess will be most supportive for you.

In this episode, I'm joined by Adama Sesay, author of Black Moon Lilith Rising & Cosmic Alchemy Oracle. We are discussing the power of the dark divine feminine and the importance of healing the wounded feminine. Adama shares her journey into astrology and working with Lilith, emphasizing the need for a different lens in interpreting Lilith that includes the experiences of black women. She explores the transformative potential of Lilith and the role of shadow work in astrology, which she will be sharing more of during the 5th annual Empowered Modern Witches Summit from Sept. 23-27, 2024.

This was a fascinating conversation that went to a lot of of powerful places! We talked about how championing the once-demonized aspects of the feminine within all of us is key to healing and saving humanity. (Very Pluto in Aquarius!)

So many of us feel deep fear or shame around being a witch, even though we know we are meant for a magickal life. These are called witch wounds - wounds that have been passed down to us from our collective ancestors during the time of the European Witch Trials, a time when it was unsafe to be known as a witch or even to arouse suspicion of such a thing.

Many of us still carry these wounds that keep us ashamed of the power within and afraid of others finding out about our spiritual, magickal, and witchy inclinations. In this season-opening episode, I'm exploring how this fear and shame can show up in our lives and ways to release them so we can live more authentically.

Here are the key steps to releasing these shadows around your inner witch:
