Dr. Ionescu is back in the hot seat today! As sort of a follow up to the episode about horned Goddesses that she did on her podcast, The Goddess Project, today we talk about the mythology, folklore, and symbolism of antlered women and antlered Goddesses. This symbol, as well as the overarching symbol of deer themselves, is as wide and far reaching as the horned Goddesses. These are ideas woven into cultures and spiritual beliefs that cross time, geography, and millennia.

Web References

The “Gather Victoria” website and article,  ‘Doe, A Deer, A Female Reindeer: The Spirit Of Winter Solstice’ that I mentioned: gathervictoria.com

The author is Danielle Prohom Olson and after further investigation of the website the “Victoria” is that of the Pacific Northwest in Canada.

The YouTube video, ‘156. Deer goddess of Sovereignty in Slavic myth’ that I mentioned: youtube.com/wolfofcoins/slavic

The YouTube channel is Wolf of Coins, and the artist’s name is Magdalena. Apparently Tarot, Oracle, and Lenormand cards are her thing, but she has a playlist called “Slavic pagan stuff.”

The pillow I showed during this episode is, as I said, a piece of art that I had printed on fabric and then asked my wife to sew into a pillowcase for me; because she’s awesome and I can’t even sew a button on.

The art, ‘Sun Goddess,’ came from the Etsy shop jurajure. etsy.com/jurajure

She works with influential women creating conscious heart-centered impact in the world to support them with spiritual tools to align, protect and amplify their light, purpose, and legacy in the world.

In this episode, we talk about what can sometimes be a desperate longing for the Goddess, with a need a small child feels for their Mother when they are hurt or afraid. We both confess to our own periods of sadness when we were just disenchanted by the chaos of the world around us. But as Abigail took the time to explain to me “It is not our time, it is time for us to carry her love with us out into the world.”

Today I’m super psyched to have my friend Hope Socha on the show! Hope and I met during a four day intensive training with the renowned Peter Woodbury for Past Life Regression Hypnosis training. We had also both just been certified in Dolores Cannon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. I loved being on that journey with Hope and we remained friends and kept in contact. Not long ago, she reached out to me and told me she was training in new healing soul work techniques and wanted to use me as a guinea pig for Soul Retrieval. The results were nothing short of astounding. So we talk about that today, and, as always, tying these things back to the journey of the Sacred Feminine connection and the Goddess.

Hope Socha has been a licensed nurse for over 30 years. She is a certified Past Life Regression Hypnotist in both Dolores Cannon’s QHHT method and Peter Woodbury’s Soul Contact method. Hope is also trained in Shamanic hypnosis, Soul Retrieval, and Advanced Ho'oponopono.
