Join host @marnisuureynolds on @thegoldenthreadpodcat as she welcomes Jet’aime Cheree as we discuss the reclamation of the feminine divine - and especially the connection for all of us to Magdalene - Magdalene as a title means the initiator, the annointress and at its origin, Magdalene means magic doorway of the Great Mother, the primordial Goddess and Source of Life. 

Magdalene was the name given throughout ancient civilizations to priestesses, mystics, healers, visionaries and powerful, magnificent women who changed the world with each step they took. 

Im a leader and luminary of the divine feminine.

I am a storyteller of ancient mythos,
I am shapeshifter and oracle,
I am priestess and scribe,
I am emissary to the Goddess and dedicant to the awakening memories of our mysteries.
I am Jet’aime Cheree and I walk the spiral path of deep remembrance and reclamation of the divine feminine.
My journey of reclaiming inherent soul gifts has included living, traveling and pilgrimaging all over the world and learning from indigenous mentors and elders in all realms of ancient practices and teachings; unveiling the ark of covenants we have been making our way home to for lifetimes.
I steward Saje Sanctuary, a metaphysical haven for modern mystics and I offer my gifts as an oracle, Magdalene priestess, green witch, tarot reader/teacher, energy healer, sacred temple artisan, ancient civilizations researcher, spiritual entrepreneur and sound shamana as refuge for ritual, ceremony and divination.
My passion interwoven purpose is to be a beacon of unapologetic empowerment, to live in the embrace of Eros and to trust the truth of our royal and ancient origins linking us with eternal and intelligent infinity.
Above all else, I am in service to the sacred.
I’m a priestess…

What does that mean?

For me, there is no one explicit explanation that gives a perfectly polished answer. Sometimes it’s messy, dark, lonely and mundane. And some days I step into the resurrected remembrance of an ancient vow taken throughout lifetimes as emissary of the divine feminine and devotee to the lineage of the Goddess and the mystery school teachings of ancient lands

Let us welcome published author Christine Boucher to the program. In this episode we go over the author's journey, the ups and downs and tips from Christine. I love her story of becoming an author, especially since her book series was inspired by a set of Andara Crystals - a whole set of chakra colors that led her into a journey of self-discovery and finally to the mountain slopes of Mt. Shasta.
Christine Boucher is a writer, yoga instructor, wife, mother to three, and animal lover who lives in New Hampshire. Christine is the new fictional author of the YA series, Mount Shasta: A Journey to Telos. Christine first started creating fantasy worlds as a small child at her desk in Indiana and then as a tween in New Hampshire. Sticking to the practical side of the world, she obtained a business degree and masters in accounting. For many years, she secretly continued to write, read, and research with her beloved dog and cat by her side. She is a lover of yoga, water-skiing, the beach, great meals, and watching her kids grow into who they want to become. Christine is the published author of Express Yourself! Joyful Journaling for Kids. 
Here next book series is in the processing of getting published and we encourage you to stay tuned for it when it does hit the press - she already has the first 2 books in the series ready to go.
Here is an excerpt from the first book: Mount Shasta: A Journey to Telos.
"You never know when an ordinary teenager will blossom into something extraordinary.
Jaden is a fourteen-year-old girl abandoned by her mother, unwanted by her father, and tormented at school. She fills her alone time exploring the streets of her hometown of Nashua, New Hampshire. She discovers a flea market and is drawn to the table of a mysterious lady selling Tibetan singing bowls and crystals. The impulse purchase of a crystal chakra set reveals a mystical destiny.
Jaden and her only friend, Alister, are transported to Mount Shasta, California, which hides the Lemurian City of Telos. It is here, at the first Earth chakra location, where Jaden and Alister become part of a secret world of teenagers and esoteric beings working to protect the Earth chakra energies from the Keeper of Belial.
The first chakra stone is already under attack and losing its power, which jeopardizes the safety and security of the planet. Jaden must fight to restore balance to the world and find the inner strength to fulfill her role as The Sentinel of the Seven Stones."
You can find her work at Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and other bookstores.

Jen Lighty was born in Japan under a Waning Libra Moon, instilling her with a desire to share knowledge and create harmony wherever she goes.  Her life has been a journey of trial and error that has moved her to many places and professions from oyster farmer on Block Island, RI to aquatic bodyworker in Mexico. Writing has always been a constant thread. She currently lives in Kona, Hawai’i, where she is a passionate ocean swimmer, diving for inspiration for the essays on myth and story published on her Substack, The Corpus Callosum Chronicles.

Jen is Author of three books of poetry and the memoir, Piko: A Return to the Dreaming, she has been nominated for Best New American Poets. 

Piko recently reached #6 in folk tales, legends and mythology sales on Amazon. “It had me leaping across the road in broad daylight. It’s a wonderful feeling to have one’s childhood dream come true.” 

"In the Hawaiian language, Piko can be translated as "the very center." As a society, we understand that before we can make sense of the results of our culture, we must remember the very design of it, or its piko.Jennifer Lighty, with her provocative "Piko: A Return to Dreaming," coaxes its readers back into this center and, with masterful literation, weaves the patterns that bleed from this center to result in what we know as the human condition. Although the core concept is poetic, Lighty expresses this work in such a relatable way that anyone can position themselves as the lead character(s) whom, through the beauty of words, symbols, art, and consequence, truly affirm the core design which all results from." -Ke'oni Hanalei, founder Pōhala Hawaiian Botanicals.

"As a non-linear thinker who prefers the subtlety of metaphor, this can be an alarming question, but yesterday in my favorite shop on Block Island, The Glass Onion (itself a metaphor), I was able to articulate the main theme in a simple and direct way I found pleasing. So here it is: Piko is about humanity’s separation from nature and shows a way for humans to weave themselves back into the hoop of life.

My book Piko is a demonstration of the principle of administration and shows how, when life can be lived as a continual ceremony, a human being becomes one with all beings. This is my prayer. I have committed my life to this vision, and for those who know me personally, or even witnessed my journey from afar, you know that I have stayed true to the often gnarly and generally unrewarded by society process of unfolding whatever inside myself needs to be revealed in order to live a life of transparency and grace.

Piko: A Return To The Dreaming is an account of a 21-day ceremony enacted by a modern woman in search of mythic ground in an ancient Place of Refuge on Moku O Keawe, Hawaii' Island. Weaving together memoir, fairy tales and myths, Hawaiian history and culture, and reflections gleaned on the state of humanity's relationship to nature as the ceremony unfolds, the book explores the trauma of colonialism in Hawai'i through the author's personal experience, and the trauma enacted upon Earth by traumatized members of civilizations that have lost their connection to a mythic perspective that links the experience of being human to a wider matrix of meaning still held by some present day indigenous cultures. Incorporating fairy tales and myths from worldwide cultures, the book itself is a ceremony, an offering of healing to Earth, to the past, to the future, and a place of refuge for whoever needs it in the present moment as our unsustainable patriarchal systems collapse to create space for new ways of holistic being to evolve and emerge on Earth.

Trauma informed therapy is a modern approach to psychotherapy that considers the impact that traumatic experiences have on an individual’s well-being. It is an approach to therapy practice that helps therapists provide support and healing to clients who have encountered trauma or abuse. The goal of trauma focused psychotherapy is to support clients in recognizing their strengths and creating a safe, comfortable environment to heal from past traumas.
Trauma is an emotional response after experiencing or witnessing an event that threatens life, safety, or physical integrity. People are usually affected by events in different ways. Some people may experience trauma symptoms immediately after a traumatic event, while others may not develop symptoms until months or years later.
Providing adequate trauma therapy involves getting to the root cause. The causes of trauma are varied, but these are some common types:

Childhood abuse or neglect

Sexual assault or rape

Witnessing violence (accidents, war)

Grief from the loss of a loved one


Trauma manifests itself in different ways. The symptoms of trauma can include:
Depression and anxiety
Sexual assault or rape Hyper-vigilance being constantly on guard)
Nightmares and flashbacks
Lack of trust in others
Dissociation
Frequent panic attacks
