The Witch of Endor is one of the oldest historical witches that we can find that go back for thousands of years. Can you imagine being driven off to the caves of a surrounding village or town, because you practice mediumship and divination? The Witch of Endor is hiding in a cave, because all the witches and those who have prophetic gifts (besides the prophets, who were male) were cast out and driven off. King Saul, dressed as a beggar, finds the Witch of Endor to use her gifts of prophecy, mediumship and divination.
The Witch of Endor, raises the dead prophet, Samuel, and communes with the messages of the future, once more for the King. This story is one of the oldest historical references to divination in the Bible. She is known to be a witch and to practice mediumship. Join April and Maggie in the exploration of her story and the implications of practicing witchcraft. Oh yea, she survived!

Why was this American Goddess forgotten and have we damaged ourselves in doing so when we left her behind? Did we leave part of ourselves behind? Columbia represented the concept and idea of the birth of what was once a beautiful, new, incredible country that wanted to be the beacon, the light on the hill. Created at the inception of the country, she was beloved in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the United States of America.
Named after Christopher Columbus, Columbia was the first American Goddess who faded out of history in the early twentieth century. Once a Goddess who led the battlecries in the American Revolution, “Hail Columbia” was sung and spoken for centuries. The District of Columbia is named after her but why is she not revered and celebrated anymore? We need her blessings now more than ever. Let’s bring her back!

Join April and Maggie as they address a listener’s question about a Goddess with one eye open and one eye sewn shut. Explore the power of sight in the physical and metaphysical realms as the witches explore the Graea, Lamia, and Manasa, who are all connected to the power of the serpent energy. Does the sight of a goddess need gatekeeping and what power is meant for the eyes of humanity?
The Graea shared one eye and one tooth amongst the three demi-goddesses. They revealed the location of their half-sister, Medusa, one of the Gorgons. Perseus stole their one eye to obtain the whereabouts of Medusa, leading to her demise. Lamia became the goddess of everyone’s nightmares after receiving the Gift of Prophecy and the ability to remove her eyes and reinsert them at will. Manasa cured Shiva of a dangerous poison after having an eye burnt out by a jealous concubine. What do these goddesses have in common? They all have connections to the serpents and to the eyes.

Have you contemplated the sentience of magick? You never needed anyone to interpret the divine for you. Interpretation of the the divine feminine for yourself is a part of your path to your purpose as a healer and as a witch. Your desire to address the feminine within to heal, yourself and this planet, is building a different vision of the world. You can create, like the goddess, a new world where you have the freedom to be who you are. People will come to you because they're afraid or they're uncomfortable and they sense that they can trust you to help them. Trust your own energy and your own magic and become the best version of yourself. Remember the power of the goddess and the witch and the sentience of magick!
In this episode, April and Maggie share more of their journey as you meet them again in Season 4. Thank you for your questions about the path of a solitary witch.

Slither with the interaction between witches and serpents historically and the role of the Serpent in society. Snake medicine has always been attributed to wisdom, healing and transformation. Many people have an underlying fear of the serpent and is this because it is human’s oldest natural predator? Or has patriarchy intervened with our natural attunement to power, sexual energy and our ability to shed our old skin and become something great in the world? Could some of the ancient serpent energy be likened to our star family when the goddess appears as half human, half snake?
Join April and Maggie for a riveting discussion about the Serpent as we celebrate Yule with her energy of letting go and regeneration. As the wheel turns, we hibernate into the darkness at this time of year and use her wise energy for healing. Feel yourself undulating and dancing with the serpent and allow her magick to infuse your transmutation.

Kali Ma, known as the Dark Mother and the Divine Mother, is a Hindu goddess. She is a fierce goddess of destruction and death as she is seen fighting demons and tearing down the fabric of creation. She is depicted as having skin like the milky way and hair like galaxies as she appears blue and black, wearing a garland of skulls around her neck, holding a sword of knowledge, a severed head dripping blood and a skull cap to catch the blood.
She is a protector and helps to keep everybody safe, putting everything back in balance, getting structure and then providing and cleaning to pave the way for the creation of a new, safe, and beautiful world. She also rules time and cemeteries and is often seen dancing in graveyards. There are initiation ceremonies where part of the ritual is to go into a cemetery at night and you have to stay there and wait for Kali Ma to show up and you have to face her. You face the dark night of the soul and the darkest parts of yourself as you make peace with your mortality.
As we flow into the darker nights of the year and into Scorpio season, discover your inner Kali Ma, dive into your shadow, and make peace with all that needs to be destroyed. What parts of your life are ready to transform and be demolished?

Dive into the heat of the Trojan war and the Greek pantheon of gods and goddesses. Here we find the priestess, Cassandra, a princess who has the gift of prophecy. She has one hundred percent accuracy of her prophecies. However, no one believes her because she is cursed by the God, Apollo, never to have her prophecies believed. She predicts the fall of Troy, the Greeks hiding in the Trojan horse, but no one believes her. At her lowest point, she is brutally raped by Ajax in Athena’s temple, where she is pleading to the goddess. Athena is enraged and sinks most of the Greek fleet.
Learn more about the story of Cassandra, the gift of prophecy, and how it is relevant to events that are going on with a doctor in India this year. This story could easily be attributed to the fall of morals and ethics in historical cultures, leading to more of a patriarchal society for thousands of years.

After Gilgamesh turns down the advances of the Goddess Innana, she sends the Bull of Heaven to destroy him. However, the Bull of Heaven is killed during an epic seven day battle. Innana decides to descend to the underworld to talk with her sister, Ereshkigal, the Queen of the Underworld and the widow of the Bull of Heaven. Inanna is stripped of her seven divine powers and presents herself naked and bowed at the feet of her sister.
After being killed and hung up on a meat hook, she is brought back to life through a series of synchronistic events. She emerges and escapes the underworld. However, no one escapes the underworld without a replacement. When Inanna finds her lover, Dumuzi, he is not mourning her loss. She allows the demons to take him in her place in the underworld. Dumuzi’s twin sister volunteers to take his place half the year, hence a representation of the Fall Equinox in the descent into the shadow.
Discover how this poem is an early representation of morality and sets the stage for pantheons of gods and goddesses to emerge in future timelines.

Take a walk with the witches in Colonial American history, Joan Wright, Alse Young, Dorothy Good, Mary Johnson, John and Joan Carrington, Rebecca and Nathaniel Greensmith. Joan Wright, also known as the “Surry Witch,” is the first known woman accused of witch craft in the British North American Colonies in 1626. She was a self-proclaimed healer, mid-wife, and a “cunning woman.” Alse Young was the first person executed for witchcraft in the thirteen American colonies in 1647. Witchcraft was punishable by death as one of twelve capital crimes.
If you are a practicing witch and your legacy is an American witch, get to know the first witch that was accused and the first witch that is executed in our country. How have we evolved over the years?

Your body is a temple, so why not decorate it? Discover why witches love tattoos to cultivate or embody an energy signature. Consciously choosing your tattoos for your magickal practice allows one to integrate the energy of what the tattoo means to the wearer, similar to an altar.
Join April and Maggie as they dive into magickal tattoos of their practice and of history. Amunet is a mummy that was discovered close to 2000 BCE. She is believed to be the High Priestess of a group of priestesses to the goddess Hathor that were found in Thebes together. When archeologists performed x-rays on the mummies, they were found to have concentric circles, lines, and dots, a lot of them around their abdomen and groin area, which they believe had to do with the sacred birth and a relationship to Hathor being the Goddess of earth and motherhood. The oldest tattoos that have been discovered are from a caveman named, Otzi. He has 61 tattoos which appear to have been very specifically and intentionally placed. The tattoos are believed to be ceremonial healing tattoos. Would you get a power tattoo for healing?

In the spring of 2024, Pluto is making a grand trine with the super galactic center and Jupiter. Sedna, a dwarf planet is also going to be a part of this grand trine, as she enters into Gemini for the first time in over 11,000 years. This planetary alignment is one of a kind and is ushering in a new conscious connection to the multidimensional universes and realities.
These outer planets are stirring up intergalactic wisdom and messages. An evolutionary consciousness shift can be activated as this grand trine is creating a flow and a channel.

Poppet dolls and corn dollies have origins in ancient Egypt as well as many parts of Europe including Great Britain. Poppets were a large part of Celtic custom and culture. One way of using a poppet in your magical practice is to make a poppet to represent yourself in magic and self-care.
It is important to bond with a poppet doll that represents yourself. You can keep her on your altar or even sleep with your doll. Usually a poppet has a tag lock which is an item that is connected to the person whom the doll represents. Many times this is connected to the DNA of the individual, such as hair, finger nail clippings, or blood. If you are ready to send yourself some good, loving energy, maybe feeding your poppet will help you realize how simply powerful and healing using a poppet can be!

Hygieia, Goddess of health, cleanliness and sterility, was the granddaughter of Apollo and the daughter of Asclepius, three generations of master healers. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they discuss the beauty and relevance of a healing goddess emerging into the consciousness of our culture today.
Hygieia represented all rituals of cleanliness in ancient Greece. She came into her power when the Delphic Oracle referenced her in about 430 BCE.

Shortly after, a statue of Hygieia was raised directly across from the statue of Athena at the entrance to the Acropolis.

Join April, Harmony, and Maggie as they introduce Sophia as part of the Holy Trinity according to the ancient Gnostic Christian sect. Learn more about this hidden and ancient Goddess as Mother of all Creation and how important she is for the cultivation of the Divine Feminine in our modern culture that has been ruled by patriarchy for thousands of years.
Who is Sophia?
April explains that the Greek word for wisdom is Sophia. In the Gnostic interpretation of the holy Trinity, it was the father, God, the mother, Sophia, the holy spirit and the child, Jesus. The gnostics were eradicated by the Roman Emperor and their teachings were hid in the Qumran Caves for two thousand years. Sophia shows up years later in the Renaissance period, depicted as the Queen of Heaven. Sophia’s modern interpretation according to Harmony is the Divine Mother of all Life even as we are shifting to accept a genderless creator with a balance between the divine masculine and the divine feminine.
Sophia, the Great Mother
Out of the darkness, a great goddess according to the ancient Babylonians was born from the primordial chaos. She was a multi headed dragon that dates even farther back from the earliest record of Sophia. Now as we enter into the Age of Aquarius, humanity is moving into a global family consciousness. Sophia shows up in modern consciousness as the divine feminine to rekindle and ignite the birthing process of the new age. Maggie shares a definition of feminine and masculine energy to give context to ways we experience feminine energy in our society.
Did you play the game, Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board when you were growing up? The earliest record of this game was from 1665 from a passage in a diary of Samuel Pepys, a British naval administrator and a member of parliament in France. According to his diary, a boy was lying down as if he were dead. He had his arms crossed over his chest and four girls, one at each knee and one at each armpit, were knelt down on one knee and chanting over the boy.
Join the witches as they discuss the power of this game, levitation and the importance of defying man-made laws to practice magic! Discover what is energetically possible when you chant, believe and explore with your witchy vibes!

What does hair represent in your spellwork and offerings? In this week’s episode, the witches answer a listener’s question about using hair in your Magickal practice. Why is there a difference between hair that has fallen out naturally, as in a hairbrush, and hair that was specifically cut with the intention of making it an offering?
Burning hair has been used for thousands of years, and it's been connected to the cleansing of the crown chakra, allowing for the removal of negativity and a reset. There are several different cultures that burn the hair of the dead to not only bring them closer to the living, but to also cleanse the negativity for them and to help alleviate pressures, such as generational hexes and curses, and the energy of families.
Hair is seen as a very powerful genetic resource because basically, it has the same contents as blood. How much of your identity is wrapped up in your hair?

The Devil card in the tarot may not be as scary as some might assume it to be. For a lot of people, The Devil has a negative connotation, when really this card is about empowerment. The Devil can be a card for healing and ancestral projects.
Why are you giving your power away to a construct, a belief system, ancestral stuff that you have carried through your lineage, or 5000 years of patriarchy? When you learn the deeper energy of this card, it will help you to identify the chains that bind you so that you can slip out of the paradigms that no longer serve you. Identify where you feel disempowered so that you no longer need to play by the old rules of your conditioning.
Happy Fall Equinox!!! Let’s feel into the balance that is held within The Devil Card as it vibrates with the energy of “6” for peace and harmony.

In this week’s podcast episode, we explore the qualities and relationships of the root chakra. There is some debate whether sexual energy is connected to this chakra. Where do you feel your sexual energy in your chakra system? Can the root chakra be about more than just safety, roots, your foundation, ancestry and sense of security? The kundalini serpent lays coiled at the root chakra, and she can be awakened through sexual energy and the activation in this chakra.
When we explore the energy body, we tend to break it into parts to explore different energy centers and qualities reflected in our lives. In so doing, we may be limiting our understanding of the potency of our sexual energy which is also our spiritual energy. There is no separation or difference, merely our own perceptions of our life force energy. Join April, Harmony and Maggie for a riveting discussion of our primal root chakra.

The Hand of Glory was a magical talisman that was popular in the eighteenth century in Northern Europe. It was an actual hand taken from criminals who had been hung. Witches and practitioners of the art would cut off a hand for mummification which used specific incantations and was stuffed with oils and herbs.
The left hand of a criminal was used for bad magical work, such as hexing, cursing, and rendering people unable to move. If you were going to use it for assistance, help, or protection, they used the right hand. Several right-handed mummified Hands of Glory were found in the walls of cottages from the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically in Northern England.
Fat was also removed from the criminal that was hanging to make a candle that was placed and lit while in the mummified hand. Join April, Harmony, and Maggie as they discuss this creepy and historical practice of witchcraft.

Lughnasadh is a cross quarter sabbat in the Wheel of the Year. This holiday is celebrated on August 1st, the closest full moon or when Leo is at 15°. Throughout Paganism, the first harvest is celebrated midway between Summer Solstice and the Fall Equinox.
Lugh is known as the Sun God or a God of Light and is the foster son of Tailtiu, a Femorian who survived the invasion of the Tuatha Dé Danaan. Tailtiu was known as an earth goddess. This celebration marks a time of harvest, gratitude and the beginning of letting go as each night gets darker and darker in the sky. As the feminine reign takes over, we remember to give way to the natural flow of letting go with grace and ease.

With so many variations of stories and myths, Rhiannon’s essence still reaches the hearts of many women today. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they discuss one of the stories of Rhiannon and how she carried out her unusual punishment for a crime that she did not commit.

She was also to offer rides on her back to the castle doors to anyone who wished. Why would a goddess accept and carry out this punishment?

Hel is a Norse Goddess who is the daughter of Loki and a giant. According to a prophecy that has been lost over time, Hel was forced by the God, Odin, into Helheim, the underworld, a place where you would go if you don’t die a glorious death and go to Valhalla. She was given control over the nine different dimensions of the afterlife and Hel even has the power to bring back the dead.
In the 13th century, St. Bartholomew, the Bard, mentions a story with Queen Hel having a conflict with Jesus. This was enough to influence culture in society as the plays and songs were shared by the Bard. Over time, the Norse Goddess, Hel, had been replaced with a Christian place called Hell, a place of torture in the afterlife.

Summer solstice, also known as Litha, is the highest point that the sun will be and is the longest day of the year.

One of the oldest forms of divination is scrying which is divining messages through a reflective surface. 2000 years ago in the ancient world, the upper echelon of society would use a circular piece of black obsidian to scry. The Greeks would also use hydromancy, reading messages in water. At about 3000 B.C.E., the Babylonians began to scry messages in lamp oil.
Scrying has been used by many mystics, diviners and psychics, including Queen Elizabeth’s court astronomer, John Dee and his assistant Edward Kelley. Scrying can be used for mediumship, connecting with loved ones on the other side, past lives, connecting with ancestors and different dimensions. You can use a candle and a soft gaze to relax your vision to see messages in the mirror.
Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they share the history, uses, and personal stories of scrying.

Eris is known as the goddess of chaos and discord and she is the sister to Aries, the god of war. She fights against oppression and is known for shadow work, fear, and fighting for collective shadow. Her most famous story is the “Uninvited Guest” where she is deliberately not invited to a wedding party in which all the other gods and goddesses were invited. Eris crashes the wedding party and throws a golden apple, with the inscription "To the fairest,” into the middle of the celebration causing a fight between Aphrodite, Hera and Athena. This action helped to spawn the Trojan Wars.
Eris is also a dwarf planet that was discovered in 2005. Eris is about the same size as Pluto and much denser with a much longer orbit of 559 years. Eris may well be a disruptive energy that when combined with Pluto becomes transformative and possibly destructive. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they discuss the beauty of shadow work and addressing one’s rage and anger.

Pamela Coleman Smith, nicknamed “Pixie,” was a British artist responsible for every single illustration on all seventy-eight cards of the A.E. Waite and Rider Tarot Deck. She was involved heavily in the 1920s Suffragist movement in London. She created many of the posters that were hung throughout the city to let women know where they were gathering, to meet and discuss their rights, where they could get together to support each other, and the Suffragist movement, and to push the government in the direction that they wanted them to go.
Pamela was a very wild and super individualistic in a period in time where women didn't really have a lot of personality. She didn't care who looked at her, what they thought, how they interpreted her actions or her behaviors, because she was very eccentric, and she just wanted to define herself as the woman, the witch, the feminist, the suffragist, the lesbian, and the mixed race female that she was. Pamela illustrated over twenty books and she wrote and illustrated two books about Jamaican folklore as well as illustrated Bram Stroker’s novel, The Lair of the White Worm.

You have experienced trauma just by being raised in a patriarchal society and by being born from a woman’s body that had lived through different types of patriarchal conditioning. When healing trauma, many find they are caught in the triangle of disempowerment where you play a role of the victim, the rescuer, or the perpetrator. Talk therapy, dealing with your shadow work, and embodiment practices can help you start to understand and to heal your trauma. Many also turn to the use of psychedelics to look deeply into places that store trauma in the body, mind and spirit.
In this episode, Harmony shares stories from her ayahuasca journeys as it pertains to healing her trauma with sexual abuse and with men. Ayahuasca is a plant-based psychedelic drug that is usually brewed into a tea or a concentrated liquid to drink. Ayahuasca is a sacred plant medicine of the shamans of South America and it is used for ceremonial practices. It is said that the spirit of the plant, grandmother Aya, will call to you when you need her medicine.

Pele is a Hawaiian goddess of fire, volcanoes, lightning, jealousy, anger, rage, and the sister wound. Her sister and sea goddess, Namaka, pursued Pele across the sea and destroyed her on the Big Island of Hawaii where it is said Madame Pele, otherwise known as Tutu Pele, dwells in the one of the most active volcanoes on the earth today.
Her name means, “she who shapes the sacred land.” Pele is destructive, impulsive and volatile, yet she creates land with her lava flow when she decides to blow. She is currently an urban legend and she has been sighted often near volcanic craters and near her home of Kilauea.
Pele is a spirit who teaches us to honor the land and the spirits that protect the land. She is a grandmother who lovingly cares for the islands of her creation. She is the element of fire and expresses with seduction, anger and intensity. Her protection and heart fuel the land and the people of the islands to this day.

In the Wheel of the Year, Beltane is celebrated on the first day of May with this midway point between Spring and Summer. Many times, it is associated with May Day and the tradition of the May Pole, representing the phallus and a wreath, representing the sacred feminine vessel. The celebration is traditional with the fires of Beltane, the fires of Bel as they were called in reference to the Celtic God.
The Druids always lit two fires on Beltane to emphasize a balance of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. People and livestock would walk through the two fires to inspire purification and fertility. The fires empower rituals, and all of the summer themes including love, happiness and protection. The fires open up the doorway to the fae folk, the other side and the supernatural world. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they share ways to celebrate this holiday!

Why is Pluto in Aquarius such a big deal? In this episode, we look at the planet of transformation, regeneration, secret obsessions, soul growth and soul obligation. As Pluto travels to 0°Aquarius and then retrogrades back into Capricorn, this is an optimal time to reflect inwardly on what areas of your life need to be transformed and activated into new energy.
Many cycles of energy are reoccurring in astrology and simultaneously in history. This astrological movement with Pluto has occurred after the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolution which can cause some concerns and fear around what may happen with world affairs. In addition, the Age of Aquarius is a longer timeframe shift which occurs about every 2000 years, and this is happening now in history. Also, about every 26,000 years, there is a shift in the poles axis of the Earth which can lead to massive earth changes.
Discover the beauty of Pluto bringing in the Aquarian Age and how we can approach this time in history with awareness, hope, transformation, and connection to the mysteries of who we are and why we are here at this time.

We take a look at all of the threes in the Minor Arcana including the Three of Swords which is known as the card of sorrow or heartache, but could this card and humanity’s consciousness have evolved in the last century to make this an empowering and integrative card? How can we change our relationship to emotional pain as well as physical pain to raise the vibration of the three?

Hecate is a Greek Goddess who rules liminal space, crossroads, thresholds, cemeteries, spirits, life, death, transitions, herbalism and magic. She is primarily a Moon Goddess and also shows herself as a triple goddess and Queen of the Witches, and she is represented as having three heads looking three different directions.
Recently on social media, Hecate has been portrayed as being connected with the Devil. April, Harmony and Maggie debunk this theory as they explore the historical context of Hecate being in the Greek pantheon before Christianity and before the concept of the Devil was even in existence.

Who is the Bell Witch and why is she still haunting with poltergeist activity in Adams, Tennessee? The Bell Witch was named after a haunted house owned by John Bell in the early twentieth century. April shares her story of meeting an old Wizard in 1992 and listening to his tale of sleeping in the Bell house as a right of passage for a young boy.
Half way through the night, the young boys could no longer stand the banging on the walls, the doors and the ceiling. They ran out into the night and into a field where they all saw a black dog in the distance. Knowing this was a bad omen, the boys ran scared and went to hide in the caves where one of the young boys encountered the Bell Witch.
We may never know her full story but the Bell Witch and her black spectral dog are still being seen and witnessed to this day as an American Witch.

Exploring your shadow side can be scary, hard and daunting, but discovering the shadow of the feminine and how that expresses itself is actually a safe and healthy practice to have in our lives. It's not as scary as what we might think when we think of the word shadow. It is very healthy that we look into our shadow to recover fragmented pieces of our mind from our childhood.
Shadow work uncovers repressed or denied aspects of self in the unconscious or subconscious mind which will helps us to integrate the inner child. We can approach the shadow through our conditioning, identifying our fears, and discovering our “Yes” and our “No.”
In this episode of The Goddess, The Witch & The Womb learn new ways to work with your shadow through expressing yourself through your body, your voice, your inner rage and anger in a simple embodiment exercise. Heal and reunite these hidden aspects of ourselves and pull them from the shadows and into our light and love.

There are two goddesses in the Greek and Roman pantheon that are primarily seen as blindfolded; Fortuna and Themis. Fortuna has a cornucopia with coins, fruits, vegetables and all kinds of earthly possessions pouring out. Fortuna is also blindfolded as if to represent that luck is blind and meaning that life wasn’t always fair to everyone. Fortuna bestows her blessings on the lucky ones to represent that some energies you don’t have to work for, they just come naturally.
Fortuna is also the patron goddess of the Roma Gypsies. Oftentimes she is portrayed with the Wheel of Fortune. Join April, Harmony and Maggie this week as they look into the relationships between the blindfolded goddesses and the Wheel of Fortune and Justice in the Major Arcana of the Tarot. They also discuss Karma, Dharma and the Law of Cause and Effect and how it may play a role with the blindfolded blessings of Fortuna.

The Morrigan was a goddess of protection and was called in before each battle. There are stories of the Morrigan running ahead of the wars, naked in front of all of the men and covered in blue power symbol paint. She runs toward her enemies and at the last moment, shape shifts into a raven and circles the battle ground to watch for the dead.

In this week’s episode, April, Harmony & Maggie dive into the history and origins of Samhain, also known as Halloween. Discover the history of trick-or-treating, costumes, the Day of the Dead (All Saints Day) and sacred sex on this day. Explore how to celebrate this holiday as a modern day witch.
Trick-or-treating and going door-to-door originated in Ireland. Children would sing songs for people’s dead ancestors and the neighbors would give the children little cakes in exchange for their songs. They would also wear costumes that could protect you from being seen by the dead on the other side and also hide you from the fairies and supernatural beings.
Some of the history brought to the surface in this episode is of the lover’s union between the God, Dagda and The Morrigan, a Celtic goddess. The sacred sex between these two always occurred on October 31st.
Celebrate Samhain today with decorating altars, blessings, fire festivals, certain herbs, colors, the practice of mediumship and divining. Tags us in your Instagram posts so we can share you Samhain celebrations!

Did you know that the veil between the world of the living and the dead is thinning? As we approach Samhain, the Witches New Year, also known as Halloween, join April, Harmony and Maggie as they discuss mediumship, the thinning of the veil, seances, channeling, and our natural gifts of connecting with loved ones on the other side.
Mediumship is a natural ability for everyone. You can start by leading from your heart and focusing on the love you have for those on the other side or for your ancestors. This is the feminine time of year when your receptive nature is more attuned with feelings, intuition and communication through the veil of the living and the dead. Everyone’s process with connecting to the other side is different so don’t judge yourself and be kind. Everyone processes these messages in a different way. You also control your psychic and mediumship abilities by setting your personal safety, rules and regulations.

The first rule of witchcraft is, “First, do no harm.” What you put out, you will receive tenfold. So intention is very important when you think of every thought and every word that you speak as being a spell. Spell work is creating your whole life as a spell and letting everything you do revolve around that intention. In this episode, discover new spells that you can do as you move through your daily life, and create new intentions to support your witchy lifestyle!
Speaking your truth and living your true intention is the most important part of spell crafting. What you talk about and pay attention to is influencing your consciousness and subconsciousness all of the time. Our brain becomes hardwired from external influences and also ancestral trauma. Tuning into frequencies of love and positive energy creates a ripple effect for your future ancestors to attune themselves to and for healing to occur through your lineage.
Some of the original Spell Work focused around birth and death as these were the most wondrous and miraculous transitions. You are closest to Source energy and your divine sovereignty at the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead. Some of the most powerful spells used today have similar intentions and motivations as those of your ancestors from thousands of years ago. As modern day society is opening up to magic, and baby witches are on the rise, we have opportunities to make new traditions with loving intentions.
Connect with the Goddesses:
Did you know that the oldest, most ancient, authentic, simplistic form of invocation and supplication to the Gods is prayer. All witchcraft, spell work and everything that we have today started with the basic 101 of prayer. Early records of people trying to appease the gods or even making offerings is how ritual and ceremony was created with the idea that we leave something for the deity or for the person that we're trying to get the attention from so that we can find favor with them.
We can look at a spell and prayer as the same thing. Spell crafting is adding the craft practice to the prayer work, and together you're creating a manifestation. Ultimately, prayer, spell work, and manifesting are the same thing, and they work together like a weave. Being in the right place within yourself before doing spell work and really getting honest with yourself to how you feel about the other people in your life is how you energetically practice spell work.

Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they explore two historical witches in North America. The first woman accused of being a witch in Salem, Massachussets in 1692 was Tituba, a slave woman. This launched one of the most famous witch hunts in history where twenty-five people were killed for being a witch. Ergot poisoning is the culprit to some of the visions that may have led to the witch accusations, which has a similar effect to the body as the modern day drug, LSD. Cotton Mather used the Malleus Maleficarum, The Witches Hammer, a book published in 1486 to discover who was a witch.
Grace Sherwood, the witch of Pungo lived in the Virginia Beach area in the late 1600’s. She was a midwife, cared for animals and had knowledge of herbs. She was accused of being a witch when her neighbor had a miscarriage. Grace was found to have two witch marks and was found guilty in a Colonial trial and sentenced to witch dunking. She wouldn’t die after several attempts of dunking. She was kept in prison until 1714 and then was quietly released.

Stheno and Euryale, Medusa’s sisters were two innocent women who were turned into gorgons, but their origins seem more connected to the Greeks.

Explore the goddess, Medusa, one of the Gorgons that was cursed by Athena for being raped and conceiving a child by Poseidon. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they talk about the importance of the sister wound in history and the impact of another Goddess falling from grace.
Medusa’s Story:
Medusa had dedicated her life to the Goddess, Athena and studied under her lineage. Medusa was famed to be a beautiful woman and had committed herself to a life of celibacy in her devotion to Athena. Poseidon desired Medusa and raped her. Instead of supporting a woman who had been raped, Athena then cursed Medusa and her two sisters. What is this sister wound about and how does it influence female relationships today.
The Gorgon, the snake headed goddess, was very popular in north Africa about three-thousand years ago. Perseus kills Medussa, and Pegasus springs out of the blood from her neck. Pegasus was the child of Medusa .Perseus, also known as Jason, flies over north Africa holding Medussa’s bleeding head which creates the red sea, the red sea coral, and the red serpent.
The Sister Wound:
Harmony shares part of her mission is to help other women to be able to be seen and heard and heal wounds of sexual rape and abuse. Woman are afraid to even press charges because they are afraid of having the finger pointed back at them from not just the patriarchy, but from their sisters, and from their mothers. We need to understand this story of Medusa so that we can use it as our strength and so we're not repeating these same historical wounds.

Have you ever heard the story of Lilith? Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they talk about how Lilith was shunned, hidden and demonized. This biblical goddess is making a resurgence into main stream consciousness as one of the first divine feminine archetypes. Thankfully, the ancient Nag Hammadi scrolls that have recently resurfaced from their historical hiding place shed truth and light into her story.
The Story of Lilith:
Lilith has been referenced in the Kabbalah, the old testament, and in the Nag Hammadi scrolls. According to the Bible and ancient texts, Lilith was the first woman created out of the same dirt as Adam, the first man, or as another story tells it, taken from the skull bone of Adam. She no longer wanted to lay beneath Adam when having sex so Adam complained to God and she was banished from the Garden of Eden. Of course, it is under debate if Adam and Lilith were truly the first people on Earth because Lilith was banished to the land of Nod and there were people already living there.
Thrown into the Shadows:
One of the earliest Witch Wounds was being banished for not wanting to have sex on the bottom. Lilith continued to be demonized as her story was removed from Biblical texts and she appears next in Medieval times where she is portrayed as the wife of Lucifer, the Devil. Lilith stood up for what she believed was equality and fairness. She has been thrown into the shadows for centuries but she is re-surging into mainstream pop culture and she should be honored as a divine feminine archetype.
Connect with the Witches:
Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they delve deeper into the witch wound and talk about religious witch wounds and sexual witch wounds. Divine feminine birthright means you were meant to have a true expression of your life force energy, your sexual energy. These witch wounds need to be talked about and expressed in a healthy healing environment.
Religious Witch Wounds:
Where does the need to be good come from? Harmony shares how parts of the Bible were removed and manipulated. People go to church for many reasons including needing healing. April shares her story of being asked to leave the Seventh Day Adventist church because she was challenging the church elders in order to understand the Bible deeper. Harmony shares her story of being in a court of 12 men, religious leaders of the Mormon Church, and having to share her story of sexual abuse without feeling safe.
Sexual Witch Wounds:
Maggie shares how American sexual energy has been repressed and how that creates a wound that detaches you and pushes you away from your life force energy. How does one return to their sexual energy and their divine energy to feel empowered and embodied. Sexual witch wounds can be cultural, societal and/or religious conditioning. Looking at what needs to be healed will lead you into and through your witch wounds. April shares your story of sexual abuse at the age of five with a nurse. She interpreted this experience as something was wrong with her and she was shamed through this abuse as it was integrated with her psyche at a young age. Harmony shares that in a group of women you will find more that have been sexually abused than not. This is what brought Harmony into wanting to be a Womb Priestess when she found out her daughters had been sexually abused. They talk about how important it is to talk about these experiences.

Survival Mode: Survival techniques that have been carried over from our ancestors and past lives that we have lived are needing healing and love so that women can thrive and not just survive.

It is important to recognize the divinity within ourselves and to love all aspects of our journey through compassion and empathy in order to move out of a survival mode that is no longer necessary.
Witch Wound:
Constantine was the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity. He sent armies out to kill anyone who was not of the same belief system. Women at the time were treated as second class citizens. After many of their husbands were killed, the women started to brew beer and sell it on the street corners. They wore pointy hats to be seen in the crowds. This is where we see the image of the “Witch” start to form with their pointy hats, stirring a cauldron. The word “witch” meant “she who gathers sticks or herbs.”
During Witch trials, many women started judging and criticizing other women. They turned on each other for fear of being killed. Humanity can benefit when we heal through divine feminine empowerment energy.
Collective Consciousness:
The big shift happened 6000 years ago when we moved from a matrilineal society to a patrilineal society with the introduction of Zoroastrianism and monotheism. This is when the shift of power started between the feminine and the masculine. The energy in the collective consciousness holds vibrations of different layers of consciousness. There is a thread that connects everyone. We saw this consciousness thread during the Witch trials. Even without modern technology such as phones and internet, witch trials were happening at the same time in many different parts of the world. Our energetics feed the thread that connects the mass consciousness. If we all start connecting and embracing the divine feminine and resourcing ourselves with thoughts of equality, we can shift the collective consciousness. Having reverence for the Earth also helps us to appreciate Mother Earth and our physical bodies.
