Journeys with the Goddess

In this final episode of Season 1, we journey into the celestial realms of fate and destiny with Arianrhod, Welsh goddess of the moon, the stars, of weaving, and of death and rebirth. We hear her story adapted from the Mabinogion of her being called to court as a virgin goddess to give power to the realm but being tricked by her brother Gwydion, giving birth to two sons with no warning and then fleeing to the sea to heal and find a realm of her own to live in peace and sisterhood.

We learn of how we...

In this month's episode, we journey into the realm of dreams with Elen of the Ways, worshiped since paleolithic times and very likely the most ancient Goddess of mainland Britain and northern Europe. The guardian of paths, roads and liminal spaces, we follow her as in an aisling (dream or vision poem), and hear the story from the Mabinogion of the Roman emperor finding her through his dreaming tracks. We learn of how we can honour her best and receive her guidance, in both waking life and in dream, and then continue the journey into a meditative internal labyrinth...

This episode of the podcast explores the realms of the Fae (fairy or fair folk) of Ireland through the stories of Áine, radiant goddess of summer, of sovereignty and of love. We hear the stories of Áine as she protects the land and dethrones those kings unable to respect it. We hear of her duties as a goddess of the Summer solstice, celebrated on Knockaine in Ireland and of her role as one of the ban sidhe, singing souls along the river of death to new life again. We learn of her historical and mythological contexts (with a little ex...

In this episode, we journey with Macha, Irish Goddess of Sovereignty, Justice and Retribution. We meet a goddess who wants a simple life but gets tangled up in the lives of the Ulstermen when her boastful husband breaks his promise to her and she must race against the horses of King Cormac while heavily pregnant. She is a goddess of fury and power, a fierce protective mother not afraid to use her voice to speak against the injustices of men. She is the power and voice of the earth itself and as we hear her story, that nurturing but...

In this episode of “Journeys with the Goddess”, we travel to the ancient landscapes of western Wales to what was once the Kingdom of Dyfedd to meet with the fairy goddess of horses, the moon, endurance and forgiveness, Welsh goddess Rhiannon. Riding the green hills, she woos Prince Pwyll, a mortal and is treated with discrimination for her otherness by his people, which results in her being accused of infanticide and being brutally punished for her wrongful incrimination. But she bears her fate with her head held high and shows great grace, compassion and endurance despite this.

We h...

This month on “Journeys with the Goddess,” we travel to Dunscaith castle on the Isle of Skye in Scotland to meet the ruthless warrior queen of those lands, Sgáthach. Her story has been veiled in mystery in the lore, and we usually only hear of in her in reference to Cuchullin, the might warrior of Ulster who she is said to have trained. But her story has so much more to tell us about the powerful women of the Celtic world who were also warriors and leaders in their own right. This retelling of Sgáthach's story...

In this seventh episode of Journeys with the Goddess, we step into the wild, flowering magic of Beltane and the Flower Moon to meet Blodeuwedd: Welsh flower maiden, lover, shapeshifter, and owl. A woman born of blossoms, made by men and ultimately transformed by her own fierce and irrepressible nature.

Together, we explore her story from the fourth branch of the Welsh Mabinogion, from the weaving of a woman from meadowsweet, broom, and oak blossom, her life as a queen behind castle walls, her awakening through love, and to her final transformation into the owl of the...

In this episode, we meet our first goddess of the ancient Mesopotamian world and the oldest goddess in recorded history, Queen of the Heavens and of the Earth: Inanna. We hear the myth of her descent into the Underworld, following a voice within to go down into the shadows and meet her dark sister, Ereshkigal...This ancient story is modern medicine in a time of war, upheaval and in preparing ourselves for how we want our new world to look and how we can discover our own resiliency in facing the shadows to excavate our own power.

In this episode of Journeys with the Goddess, we travel back to the source of all things, connecting with the element of water through the story behind the Well of Wisdom and the creation of the Boyne River.

We start the episode with a retelling of the story of Boann's origins as the Mother of the River Boyne, and then explore her through the history and lore, reflecting on how her story has been co-opted over the centuries to take away women's power.

From there, we move inward, with a purifying and healing guided meditation...

In this special Imbolc episode of Journeys with the Goddess, we step into the threshold moments when winter hasn't yet released its grip, but spring is already stirring beneath the soil...

We start the episode with a continuation of the story from our last episode with the Cailleach, and then explore Brigid through the history and lore, reflecting on her as a woman of many callings, representative of many archetypes at once. Patron of poets, healers, and makers, she reminds us that we do not have to choose just one way of being. We are allowed to...

In this final episode of 2025, we journey into the deep winter realm of the Cailleach: ancient creator, storm mother, and crone of transformation. Through story, mythic reflection, meditation, and song, this episode explores solitude, sovereignty, aging, creative power, and the wisdom of seasonal rest.

The episode opens with an original myth inspired by the many incarnations of the Cailleach across Celtic lands. She appears as sculptor of mountains, shaper of storms, and guardian of winter stillness. The story traces her creation of the land, her relationship with Brida (who will later become Brigid), and the moment when...

In this second episode of Journeys with the Goddess, we step into the deep, quiet dark of late autumn and meet Cerridwen: Welsh goddess, witch, mother, cauldron-bearer, and keeper of transformational wisdom.

Together, we explore her story - the cauldron brewing for a year and a day, the chase across land, water, and sky, and the birth of Taliesin. We touch on what her myth can teach us about patience, initiation, creativity, and the deep work that happens in the dark. In guided meditation we journey to meet her on the shores of Llyn Tegid. We talk...

As the veil thins and Samhain approaches, we step into the shadows with The Morrígan: goddess of sovereignty, prophecy, and sacred rebellion.

In this first episode of Journeys with the Goddess, we remember her as the fierce feminine force that rises when the old must burn away to make space for the new to emerge…

In this episode:

There are stories older than empire. Stories that survive in the earth, carried by wind, by the rivers, down through the song lines.... And if you slow down, get cozy and listen carefully, you might still be able to hear them...

This podcast is about remembering the voices of the ancient goddesses, hearing their stories and travelling with them into the depths to remember that archetypes speak in symbols, stories carry medicine, and the divine feminine is rising. These goddess stories are not relics of a forgotten past, they are mirrors, thresholds, and fierce companions on the...
