Episode 13: Towards an Uncharted Future

In this final episode, our mythic quest comes full circle and sets off into the unknown. We contemplate what it means to create our lives as a DEVOTIONAL masterpiece, and wonder, to what cause or purpose are we devoted? The story of Merlin going mad and wandering the wilderness allows us to see the full scope of our spiritual journeys up to the present, and gives us a way to move forward towards an uncharted future. Weaving together many of the mythic figures explored in previous episodes—Isis and Osiris, Mary Magdalene and Jesus—plus, a mind-expanding creation story into one mythic arc, we contemplate the great questions that plague humanity: Why are we here, and why have we forgotten? We may have landed on an answer! But you’ll have to listen to find out.

Episode 12: Creation Amidst World Chaos

How do we create the world we want to live within when we face so much chaos, horror and destruction? Can we ever move beyond damage control? In this episode, we call forth the wisdom of the great Hindu Goddess Durga and explore the story of her creation of the Mother Goddess of Death, Kali, upon the battlefield. We look directly into Kali’s dark, bottomless void in order to learn the true nature of the game currently being played out here on earth, and we learn the key of how to change it.

Episode 11: Rites of Passage

What kinds of rites of passage would be fitting for a world lead and guided by the Evolutionary Androgyne? How do we transition from youth into adulthood learning how to balance the feminine and masculine within us? In this episode, we take a hard look at the culture’s current rites of passage (and significant lack there of) while exploring new possibilities through the ancient Greek coming of age story of Hermaphroditus—child of Aphrodite and Hermes. We explore potent opportunities to rewrite our own pasts so that we may come of age anew into leaders and bridge-builders of a New Earth.

Episode 10: Remembering our Innocence

How do we stay courageous when it appears as if the world is falling apart? How do we keep our hearts open when we are witness to atrocities and horror inflicted by fellow humans onto others? These are important questions to be asking during this time of messy chaos and global transformation. A key may be discovered in the ancient Turkish story of Shahmaran, the great Serpent Woman who lived under ground. Shahmaran helps us to remember our innocence by stripping away everything except what is at the deepest layers of our hearts. Journey with us into the UnderWorld realms of the earth as we learn to recover our magic and mysticism.

Episode 9: The Undefinable Nature of Beauty

What if some of the most powerful spiritual wisdom was never written down by the experts named by culture and the intellectual elite? What if the exquisite beauty of spiritual transformation is something that can never be defined or explained in words? In this episode, we forego analysis in exchange for transmission, as we explore the process of alchemy and the creation of beauty through ancient lyrical folklore of the British isles. I invite you to open your heart, attune your senses and let yourself be moved and surprised. Allow the ballads to work magic upon the deepest recesses of your being, opening portals to other worlds.

Episode 8: Learning to Live in Truth

The Great Flood is perhaps the most prolific myth told worldwide. It is difficult to find an indigenous culture that does NOT contain an allegorical tale of a great deluge that wipes out much of humanity. What is the collective lesson of this story if there is one? In this episode, we explore the laws of karma, justice and fate. We brave the realms of our shadows to excavate the ways we may be avoiding the whole awful truth, thus giving away our power. What does it takes to live in a state of inner truth so that history does not repeat itself? If there are consequences to all of our actions, how may we get ourselves on the right side of justice?

Episode 7: Birthing a New World

What if the battle between light and dark, or good versus evil didn’t have to be resolved through war? What if we could step through a portal into a new world where differences and divisions resolve themselves through the laws of nature instead? In this episode, we go in search for this new world through the continuation of the Isis and Osiris Egyptian epic. Isis gives birth to Horus—the divine sun child and heir of Osiris. Horus and Set battle endlessly for rulership over Egypt. But as we learn early on, Isis has woven a different plan to move Egypt into a new golden age!

Episode 6: The Truth About Love

If we love something, why must we also set it free? Why would we choose to sacrifice for the sake of love? In this episode, we answer those questions through the lens of one of the greatest love stories ever told, the Egyptian epic of Isis and Osiris. Isis takes us along her journey of grief, magic and letting go so that we may get to the truth about the nature, the power and the transformation of love.

Episode 5: Our Wild, Infinite & Mysterious Nature

What really is at the heart of the collective longing for home—the deep yearning that so many of us experience for belonging or going back to the place from which we came? What if “home” is much more than just a physical location on earth, and has more to do with returning to a state of “being home” within our ensouled bodies? In this episode, we explore the potential extent of our wild, infinite and mysterious natures through the folklore story of the Selkie, the seal woman who loses her seal coat and leaves the ocean to marry a human man on land. We expand into the great breadth of power and love that has been lost and forgotten, and can be reclaimed within our bodies, and the collective surge to awaken and remember.

Episode 4: Reclaiming Our Innate Majesty

Imagine a world where we could all be royalty. What if we could redefine these words—majesty, queen, sovereign—so that they allow for the encompassing of all of humans, rather than a tiny select few at the top of a cultural hierarchy? In this episode, we reclaim our royal roots by exploring the recent surge in the mythology of Mary Magdalene. Why is she coming into our collective consciousness now? And how can we make sense of all the varying accounts of her? We bring these different theories and stories to the forefront, embracing the multiplicity of her mythic nature, which allows us each to hone into the story we want to tell about the return of the Feminine Christ.

Episode 3: The Masculine is Reborn

What does it mean, in spiritual terms, to be be free? And what does it really take to lead a soul-led life? In this episode, we answer those questions by diving into the process of ego death and spiritual rebirth, and we are guided by the story of Cerridwen and Gwion Bach, otherwise called The Hanes Taliesin, the origin story of the great Celtic bard and poet. How does the cauldron and womb of the Goddess, shapeshifting, and drifting out at sea for forty years relate to your spiritual journey? Listen and discover now how to become the Midwife and Warrior of your own life, ego death and rebirth.

Episode 2: Return of the Divine Feminine

As we unfold the second half of Inanna’s Descent story, we discover the key to Divine Feminine return—Grace. We look at all the ways both Inanna and her underworld sister, Ereshkigal, were gifted grace in this ancient story, and how we can gift ourselves and others with grace similarly, thereby transforming our healing experiences. With the help of inner earth mythos, we learn why we might just want to return to the shadow lands of our underworld again and again and again, creating permanent bridges that help us to perfect our healer’s medicine.

Episode 1: In Search of the Lost Feminine

In this first episode, we explore the question of how to create Sacred Space for our evolution to welcome the lost feminine aspects of us back home. We turn to two myths that help us to understand our wild, feminine natures and why these parts of us have gone into hiding: Inanna’s Descent from ancient Sumer, and the story of the Well Maidens from medieval Celtic lore. With the help of two powerful goddesses, we discover the key to locating our lost feminine nature and reclaiming her into wholeness.
