Explore the Midlife Passage with ISIS and Sarah La Rosa! Sarah is an author, tarot practitioner, healer and guide devoted to women’s spirituality, mythic embodiment and initiatory transformation. Her work explores the sacred thresholds of feminine becoming through mythology, tarot, ritual, poetry and lived experience. She is the author of Her Strange Angels, a devotional collection of prose and prayer for women walking the path of soul remembrance. Her newest book, Midlife Isis, by Inner Traditions is her most intimate and mythic work to date. 
We jump into what the Midlife Passage is for Women in the 10-15 year period that can span from late 30’s through a Woman’s menopausal years with physical, mental and psychological transitions. Sarah tells us that this Midlife Passage is an initiation and a catalyst. Its an invitation to women to more fully anchor who they actually are and who they started out as. This is a terrain that is intensely powerful and empowering.
Sarah, as a  magical person and healer, wanted to express in her book the Midlife Passage of women through a mythic lens. Her book Midlife ISIS walks women through the myth and symbology of Egyptian Goddess ISIS and her Goddess Sisters, tarot, journeying, personal experiences, numerology and the astrology of the Midlife Passage. Her book is a magical companion for the woman walking through a midlife journey. 
We delve into the myth of ISIS and why her ancient stories of loss, dismemberment, deconstruction, resurrection and rebuilding into Her full cosmic, magical, embodied sovereignty is such a relevant inspiration to the women moving through the midlife transition. If women invite Goddess ISIS into their life as a guide; she will show up with her wisdom and power in an accessible way!
And who is the Wild Queen? She is the archetype that sits on her throne between the Mother and the Crone in the Triple Goddess consciousness. Sovereign and discerning she reclaims herself. This is the initiation of the Midlife Woman to bridge from the Mother to the Wild Queen archetype. The name ISIS means “throne”. She is the invitation to be the throne- that's what this Midlife Passage is all about. But we must do the work to get there! 
Sarah ends our episode with a quick visualization to open up to ISIS and connect with what is still alive in you to carry into your future. More about Sarah at: www.sarahlarosa.com  Tune in and be enlightened!

Explore the magic and multiple possibilities of Fairies with Morgan Daimler!
Morgan is a prolific Pagan writer who teaches classes on Irish myth, magical practices, fairies, and related subjects in the US and internationally. She has been published in multiple anthologies as well as articles in various magazines, and she is one of the world's foremost experts on all things Fairy. Morgan has a variety of titles available through Moon Books, including: Fairies: A Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk, Fairy: the Otherworld by Many Names, and Paid with a Kiss. Morgan has also presented on Fairies and Witches at several workshops and conferences.
We delve into how Morgan started getting interested and connecting to fairies.
She grew up as part of the Irish-American diaspora without a religious structure but there was and understanding that Fairies and ghosts existed. From a very young age she was able to sense and see spirits. When she was 5 she had a clear memory of interacting with a woman with red hair who seemed real but was a Fairy Morgan believes now. She also would build fairy houses made of sticks, rocks and acorns. She left written messages on her window sill for the Fairies as a child. She believes that Fairies have their own way of communicating with people.
We explore what Fairies and what they are not. Fairies are complicated and fascinating beings who are often contradictory. They are a specific type of spirit or sapient being that come from another reality that is adjacent to ours and they can travel back and forth from that realm to ours. They can shapeshift and be visible and invisible. Morgan tells us that we can find Fairies wherever we are. There’s overlap with Indigenous, Land Spirits, Nature spirits, Nyads, Dryads, Nyads and a whole assortment of spirit beings that can also be Fairies. 
Fairies can also come from the Otherworld into our dreams, trance states, astral traveling too. Morgan tells us that there is dream communication to humans from Fairies and spirits  that goes very far back historically. Time wrks differently in the Otherworld or the realm of Fairy and they are able to cross though into our physical world. Fairies exist outside the concept of time. 
We delve into ways to honor and connect with Fairies in our everyday lives. Good and friendly offerings to fairies can include pouring or a little bowl of pure, clean water, dairy products lsuch as milk or cream, honey, singing, reciting poetry, and ringing bells and doing any of these with genuine love and intention.  And if you see, sense or feel movement in your peripheral vision you should pay attention since they may be Fairies!
We chat about how to blend Fairies in with our Witchcraft practices by connecting to house spirits/fairies. Morgan ends our episode with a quick grounding visualization to open up our sixth sense to connect with Spirits and Fairies anywhere and anytime. Tune in and be enlightened!   More about Morgan on her Facebook Author page, YouTube Channel @MorganDaimlerfairies and her MoonBooks Author Page

Connect with the Sacred North and the element of Earth with Tahverlee Anglen! Tahverlee is a high priestess, ritualist, initiate of the Sacred Way and the Eleusinian Rites, and a practitioner of the Celtic mysteries, and is at the heart of the Moon Temple Mystery School, guiding seekers through the mystical landscapes of self-discovery, witchcraft, empowerment, and spiritual awakening. She is an accomplished speaker, social impact entrepreneur, and podcast host. Tahverlee is the author of: Sacred Magic of the North: Ritual, Spells, and Gifts of the Earth by Llewellyn Worldwide.
We explore how Tahverlee learned to put all the different pieces of spirituality, magic and interconnectedness can be put into the direction of the North and the physical element of Earth. The North is the sacred pause that sits between the West the element of water the conclusion and South the element of Fire the beginning of everything. North /Earth are our Bodies and an energetic opening for us to align ourselves to where we fit into the directional/elemental Wheel at any time. The elements work within our human bodies, minds and spirits. The North/Earth  is just ¼ of the piece of how our soul moves amongst this 3D, 4D and 5D plane in the Elemental/Directions wheel.                 
We chat about Tahverlee’s new book: Sacred Magic of the North,  the first in a series of four she is writing of all four directions/elements. The North is the natural starting place she says because everything we want to experience on our spiritual path is interconnected through our Bodies. Embodiment is a big part of Tahverlee’s book on the Sacred North/Earth. iIt’s taking everything we desire and want to experience takes place inside our physical flesh. As well as activating our bodies with the cycles of nature. Our spiritual and psychic gifts also get turned up a notch when we know how to connect with our body. When we Ground and dispel energy and when we raising energy prior to in ritual/spellwork - its all done through our bodies.
We delve into Land Spirits and Ancestors of Earth- and how to connect with them wherever we live. All lands have guardian spirits such as certain animals, trees, mountains, canyons, rocks, and the original human indigenous tribes that used to live on your land/city/town. You can go to a park or open space and meditate and ask to commune with them. And Tahverlee suggests some fast, everyday practices we can do at work or during our busy days. Breathwork, crystals and stones, essential oils and spring water spritzers, and bringing a plant, bloom or flowers at work or your home or workspace connects you to the element of Earth. 
Tahverlee ends our episode with a grounding and rooting visualization to embody, connect and realign to the Earth and your center.Tune in and be enlightened!   More about Tahverlee at: www.tahverlee.com

Embrace the Matrisphere with the extraordinary Perdita Finn! Perdita is the author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors, and with her husband Clark Strand The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. She teaches popular workshops on connecting and collaborating with both the dead and the animate everything. She lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.She is on Facebook and Instagram and writes a popular Substack: Take Back the Magic. Perdita ends our episode with a visualization to call upon animal spirits Mothers to awaken the magic that's inside you.

Perdita began summoning Divine Mothers and her ancestral grandmothers to help her with motherhood because she did not have the mothering she needed to be a mother and that her mother was not capable of giving her that mothering. She also taught workshops to help others summon their ancient mothers and grandmothers. And to explore the many orbits of Motherhood and how we can call on animals, ancestors, spirits, future mothers that are accessible to help us on our journeys through life. Part of her work is to help people connect with the dead on the other side to feel loved in this life.

Perdita began researching ancient history and traditions of motherhood. She discovered that there's never a single mother because mothering was a shared action in ancient communities with at least 9 mothers per child. We chat about the original Divine Trinity in ancient cultures: the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. In her book, Perdita writes about the fact that the egg of the Daughter (Mother) and Granddaughter (Maiden) are formed simultaneously in the body of our Grandmother (Crone) like nesting dolls. It is our actual reality of our coming into being. These 3 generations are one and matriarchal cultures honored this powerful fact!

We dive into her book: Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors and her personal story with her own Mother and  Grandmothers and the story of the Mother before civilization, within civilization and to a world that may look very different beyond it. If we recovered the circular power and wisdom of the mother; we would transform our relationship with life, nature, each other and ourselves. Perdita ends our episode with a practical visualization to call upon 9 animal Mothers to change your life and to awaken the magic inside you. Tune into this fascinating conversation and be enlightened!

Summer Solstice blessings!   I invite you to take a guided meditation journey with me to connect with the ancient Slavic Goddess Vila. This guided meditation and more are available in my three books and audio books, titled The Oracle of Luna: Meditations with the Moon Goddess, volumes one, two, and three, available on Amazon and Audible.
Goddess Vila, also known as Samo Vila, is an ancient Eastern European name for the Goddess of energy moving through the Earth as nature. The plural form Vily are known as female spirits who live in the woods, mountains, caves, rivers, and clouds that can shape shift into any animal they want.
Vila was often described as a fair-skinned winged woman with glistening translucent garments. Villa can shape shift into whirlwinds, avalanches, glaciers, or any force of nature.
The magical Vily are unlike European fairies, since they were not born as spirits of nature, but became them with death. Both Goddess Vila and the Vily are able to magically blend in with the wind as intangible shapes, or they can become solid by the natural world around them.
We can connect with Goddess Vila and the Vily when we are navigating change, when we are between life cycles, or when we just want to grow and expand into our best selves and nourish wholeness. Tune in and be enlightened!
