This week I’m joined by the amazing mythologist and author Jasmine Elmer—the voice behind the book Goddess with a Thousand Faces—for a grounded, feminist tour through goddess mythology, witchcraft, and the art of re-enchantment in everyday life. We talk about finding belonging through myth and folklore, why goddesses are multifaceted, and how stories like Persephone’s descent and the night-queen Nyx can help modern women navigate grief, creativity, identity and seasonal cycles.

Jasmine shares her global lens on myth (hello Sedna from the Inuit culture and Rangda of Bali), why diverse retellings matter, and a teaser for her new book all about female dragon slayers—plus the upcoming witchy podcast Witch Please. If you’ve ever wondered how to start working with goddess energy—or you’re craving a deeper, more inclusive take on how mythology is a key tool of empowerment for modern women—this episode is for you.

This episode wasn’t planned — it was born in the middle of labelling wax melts when the emotion of everything finally hit me.

I realised I hadn’t stopped to celebrate bringing this dream to life. Instead, I felt the emotional heaviness of launching — the highs, the tears, the bubbling joy, and the sudden drop that comes after.

In this raw reflection, I talk about:
 ✨ Why big life events and business launches carry so much emotional weight
 ✨ The “bubble bursting” moment and the descent that often follows
 ✨ How the Yew Tree holds the paradox of death and rebirth
 ✨ Persephone’s reminder that descent is not failure — it’s sacred, necessary, and part of the cycle of becoming

If you’ve ever felt that emotional crash after doing something huge — whether in life or business — this one’s for you.

Self-doubt has a way of wrapping itself around us like a heavy cloak — stitched from fear, silence, and old stories of “not enough.” In this October Pocket Spell, you are invited to lay that cloak down, let the fire devour it, and step into the mantle of confidence that was always yours.

Through folklore, witch-fire, and word-magic, this transmission stirs the soul and calls you into your power. You’ll hear the Witch’s incantation, feel the shedding of fear, and step forward wrapped not in doubt but in courage, clarity, and fierce self-belief.

✨ This is not a meditation. It is a spell. A charm of words you can return to whenever fear rises — before a meeting, in moments of wobble, or whenever you need to remember your strength.

Step into the magic of the Autumn Equinox with this immersive Wild Goddess guided journey. The Equinox Threshold invites you to pause at the balance point between light and dark, harvest and shadow, as the Wheel of the Year turns toward the descent into winter.

In this meditation, you’ll be guided through an enchanting landscape where golden fields meet shadowed forests, carrying a lantern that holds your inner light. Along the way, archetypal guides—the Reaper, the Weaver, and the Keeper of the Hearth—offer blessings of release, continuity, and flame.

This story-rich, sensory meditation is designed to help you:
 ✨ Honour the balance of light and shadow at the Autumn Equinox / Mabon
 ✨ Reflect on your own harvests and what you are ready to release
 ✨ Gather wisdom and courage to carry your inner flame into the darker half of the year
 ✨ Root deeply into the cycles of nature and your own becoming

Whether you celebrate Mabon, follow the Wheel of the Year, or simply feel the call of autumn’s turning, this guided journey will leave you grounded, inspired, and ready to step into the season ahead.

In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, we step into the liminal — the hedgerows, crossroads, and dusky thresholds where folklore tells us the veil is thin. Noticing is more than mindfulness; it is resistance, remembrance, and a way of walking awake in a distracted world.

I’ll share the wisdom of crow as messenger and guide, explore how goddesses like Hecate, Artemis, and Demeter teach us to notice differently, and show how the seasons themselves invite us into shifting ways of attention. Together, we’ll unravel why noticing matters now — how it enriches our lives, steadies us in thresholds, and reconnects us to enchantment in the everyday.

✨ Inside this episode:

• The folklore of thresholds & why they were seen as places of magic and danger
• Noticing as rebellion in a culture of distraction
• Goddess wisdom — Hecate, Artemis, Demeter, and the crow as guides of attention
• The seasons of noticing and how they shift with the Wheel of the Year
• Why noticing thresholds transforms how we meet life’s endings, voids, and rebirths

And for those who want to go even further, my membership Wild Goddess Rising is where myth, goddess wisdom, and seasonal living become a way of life.

We’ve been told growth should be constant — more money, more achievements, more healing, more upgrades. But here’s the truth: life doesn’t work like that. The land lies fallow, the goddess rests, the seasons spiral. Growth is cyclical, not linear.

In this episode, I explore The Myth of Constant Growth — and why your pauses, your quiet seasons, and your sacred moments of simply being are just as powerful as blooming and harvesting.

Together we’ll unravel the toxic belief that slowing down means failure, and instead reframe it through myth, story, and seasonal wisdom. From Demeter and Persephone to the reminder that spring never rushes to summer, we’ll reclaim the beauty of cycles and the magic in the present moment.

✨ You’ll learn:

• Why constant growth is a damaging cultural myth
• The seasonal + mythic wisdom that teaches us cycles are sacred
• How to embrace rest, pause, and being without guilt
• Gentle reflection prompts to help you honour the season you’re in

If you’re ready to stop pushing and start living in rhythm with your own soul, this episode is your permission slip.

This week’s Folklore Friday is something a little different — a story written by me.

Inspired by my love of hedgerows, my fascination with the fae folk, and my heartbreak at seeing litter tangled in the countryside, this tale is both a modern fairytale and a reminder of the magic that still stirs at the edges of our world.

✨ Inside this episode:

• A short original story, The Hedgerow Folk of September Eve, where fairies awaken at dusk to dance, feast, and sing beneath the moon.
• A reflection on how our ancestors once honoured the fae, the land, and the unseen beings woven into folklore.
• A closing poem — the original form this tale arrived in — shared as an incantation of remembrance.

This is not a retelling of an old myth, but a new story — a piece of modern fae folklore, written to reawaken our connection with the magic of the land and to remind us: the hedgerow folk are still here, still waiting, still watching.

In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, I’m sharing one of the most beautiful Scottish folktales I’ve ever come across — the story of The Dream Makers of Skye.

It’s the tale of an ancient man and woman who dwell in a hidden cave, quietly weaving the dreams of humanity from herbs, milk, and magic. Their work is unseen, yet without them the world would fall apart.

As I retell this story in my own Wild Goddess way, I’ll be diving into what it means for us in our modern lives — the unseen threads we are all weaving every single day. The hidden work. The quiet labours. The emotions and persistence no one else sees, but which shape the very tapestry of who we are becoming.

So often we only celebrate the visible outcome — the launch, the success, the moment of recognition. But the truth? It’s the unseen threads that hold the whole story together.

✨ In this episode, I explore:

• The folklore of The Dream Makers and their role in shaping our dreams
• The lessons of the unseen threads in everyday life
• Why unseen does not mean unworthy
• How the hidden path always walks hand-in-hand with enchantment
• An invitation to honour your own unseen labours with love

This episode is a love letter to the quiet magic beneath the surface. A reminder that your unseen threads are weaving something luminous — even if you can’t yet see what’s waiting at the shore.
