    62: Pawnee Nation's Atira: Our Mother of Earth and Corn

Through this rich cosmological narrative, we uncover how the Pawnee people view the Earth not just as home, but as a living spirit deserving of reverence and reciprocity. Tune in as we delve into the symbolic meaning of Atira, her connection to corn and the stars, and how her story continues to guide Pawnee cultural and spiritual life.

    Oct 29 2025
    What if Eve was never the cause of humanity’s fall, but the catalyst for its awakening?

Through myth, reflection, and guided meditation, we explore Eve’s story as a sacred initiation into choice, courage, and divine curiosity. This is not a tale of shame; it’s a remembering of her original blessing, and an invitation to reclaim your own sacred knowing. Enjoy this short episode!

  • 72: Ereshkigal: Descent into Release and Healing Meditation

    72: Ereshkigal: Descent into Release and Healing Meditation
    Oct 22 2025
    In this short, powerful guided meditation, we descend into the shadowed realm of the Great Queen Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, keeper of death, truth, and transformation.

    Inspired by the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna’s Descent, this journey invites you to follow the path of release, shedding your old garments of identity, expectation, and control until you stand spiritually naked before the depths of your own soul.

    Before the descent, you’ll make an offering and speak a petition to Ereshkigal, calling upon her to witness your release and guide your rebirth. Then, as the gates of the underworld open, you’ll walk through the dark corridors of healing, confronting what has been buried, forgotten, or silenced within.

    Through her fierce love and mirror of truth, Ereshkigal teaches that death is never the end, it is the sacred unraveling that makes new life possible.

    This is not a meditation of light and ease; it is a reclamation of your wholeness through surrender.
    You will emerge changed, emptied, purified, and ready to rise.

    🕯️ This episode is for you if:

    • You are ready to release old pain or patterns.

    • You seek to honor your shadow as sacred.

    • You wish to meet the goddess who dwells in the depths and learn her language of healing.

  • 63: Haunted by Grief: The Story of La Llorna

    63: Haunted by Grief: The Story of La Llorna
    Oct 19 2025
    La Llorona is a legendary figure from Latin American folklore, especially well-known in Mexican culture. Her name translates to “The Weeping Woman.” The story varies by region, but here’s the most common version:

    The Legend of La Llorona:
    La Llorona was once a beautiful woman named Maria who fell in love with a wealthy man. They had children together, but over time, he lost interest in her and left. Heartbroken and driven by grief or jealousy, Maria drowned her children, often in a river. Almost immediately, she regretted it and, in some versions, drowned herself too.
    After death, she was cursed to wander the Earth, crying for her lost children. Her ghost is said to roam rivers, lakes, and canals at night, wailing “¡Ay, mis hijos!” ("Oh, my children!").

    Common Themes and Beliefs:

    • She wears a long white dress or veil.
    • Her spirit is seen near water.
    • Hearing her cry is a bad omen.
    • She sometimes kidnaps wandering children, mistaking them for her own.

  • 71: Why the Matriarchy Matters

    71: Why the Matriarchy Matters
    Oct 8 2025
    What if power didn’t mean domination, but care? What if society was built not on hierarchy, but on balance? In this episode, we explore why the matriarchy matters—what it really is, how it differs from patriarchy, and why it’s essential for humanity today. We’ll journey through matriarchal cultures, uncover how patriarchy has silenced the Divine Feminine, and discover why restoring matriarchal values is key to goddess spirituality, sustainability, and collective healing. This is not about women ruling men, it’s about creating a world rooted in cooperation, intuition, and reverence for life itself. Please enjoy this episode on why I think Matriarchy matters.
