Home to Her

When we begin to learn about the Sacred Feminine, many of us quickly realize that She is much more than we have imagined Her to be - and that Her nature is fundamentally contradictory. As Damascena Tanis, my guest for this episode, says, to work with the Goddess is to be repeatedly invited into paradox. Damascena is a writer, astrologer, and a recently bereaved mother, living on the shores of Lake Erie with three earth bound children. She is currently learning how to be the mother of a child who has journeyed beyond the veil. She is also the Founder of the Planetary Priestess Mystery School, devoted to Venus.In this episode, we discuss the paradox of the Goddess, as well as:Damascena's spiritual awakening as a pregnant 15-year-old, and what it taught her about the Sacred FeminineHow living in Palestine as a young mother initiated her into a deeper understanding of the feminineDamascena's work as an archetypal astrologer, and why she thinks it's important to explore what she considers the dimension beyond archetypesThe Venus cycle, its connection to the myth of the Inanna, and how it can guide our own inner journey of self-discoveryThe lessons offered by deep grief, which Damascena experienced through the death of her sonUnderstanding the current conflict in Gaza through the lens of astrologyShow Notes If you’d like to know whose ancestral tribal lands you currently reside on, you can look up your address here: https://native-land.ca/You can also visit the Coalition of Natives and Allies for more helpful educational resources about Indigenous rights and history.Please – if you love this podcast and/or have read my book, please consider leaving me a review, and thank you for supporting my work!You can watch this and other podcast episodes at the Home to Her YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@hometoherYou can learn more about Damascena on her website: https://www.redmoonrevival.org/You can also follow her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mea.damscenaHere are a few of the resources we discussed during this episode:Damascena and I both completed separate mystery school trainings via the Sanctuary of the Open Heart.

What does it mean to foster intersectionality in traditions that honor the Sacred Feminine? How do we make space for the differences we find in each other in spiritual community, and also within ourselves?

When we spend time with the herstorical record of the Sacred Feminine, we might be surprised to find that some of the most well-known Goddesses are far more complex than we've been told. Such is the case with the Greek Goddess Artemis, who is the subject of my discussion with this episode's guest, Dr. Carla Ionescu. Carla’s research centers on the influential nature of Artemis across Anatolia, the Mediterranean and the Balkans. As one of the leading experts in the worship and ritual of the Goddess Artemis, Dr. Ionescu spends most of her time teaching in the field of Ancient History and Women’s Studies, and/or applying for grants to support her research travels. In the summers she scavenges new locations and cities worldwide, digging through the remains of grave sites, ruins, and abandoned buildings, trying to uncover the long-lost mystery that is Artemis, The Great Mother. She is also the author of the book, She Who Hunts: Artemis – the Goddess Who Changed the World.On this episode, we discuss:Carla's ongoing spiritual journey, and why it's only been fairly recently that she's begun identifying as a pagan and Goddess worshipperHer evolving relationship with Artemis, and how it spans research, academia, and more mystical experiencesThe challenge of deeply exploring the spiritual nature of the Sacred Feminine within the confines of academic institutionsThe unknown and more complicated aspects of Artemis - and why this complexity is exactly what we need right nowShow Notes If you’d like to know whose ancestral tribal lands you currently reside on, you can look up your address here: https://native-land.ca/You can also visit the Coalition of Natives and Allies for more helpful educational resources about Indigenous rights and history.Please check out Home to Her Academy, my school dedicated to seekers of Sacred Feminine wisdom! www.hometoheracademy.com.   And while you're there, don't forget to sign up for my newsletter to stay up to date with upcoming classes.My book, “Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of the Sacred Feminine,” is available from Womancraft Publishing!

Guest Ronna Detrick discusses her book 'Rewriting Eve' and why it's important not to leave the stories of Biblical women behind. Topics include Ronna's experience in seminary, finding Divinity within ourselves, misinterpretations by patriarchal institutions, and the power of the Biblical story of Eve.

How do we locate divinity within our own bodies, and within the ordinariness of our lived experiences? On the latest episode I explore this topic with Kay Louise Aldred, a researcher, writer, and teacher who catalyzes individual, institutional, and collective evolution through education, embodiment, and creativity (and not to worry, we break this all down in this episode).  Kay is the author of several books, all published by Girl God Books: "Mentorship with Goddess: Growing Sacred Womanhood;" "Making Love with the Divine: Sacred ,Ecstatic, Erotic Experiences;" "Somatic Shamanism: Your Fleshy Knowing and the Tree of Life;" and "Embodied Education: Creating Safe Space for Learning, Facilitating, and Sharing."On this episode we discuss:The nature of Kay's work, and why she's passionate about using cognition, intuition, and instinct to access deeper, more holistic wisdomThe importance of turning toward the wisdom of the heart when in doubt or confusionKay's long journey out of mind-based religion and into a spirituality that fuses mind, body and and spiritWhat "tangible divinity" means, and why it mattersHow we can make love with the divine through a variety of "ordinary" experiences available to all of usAnd much more!Show NotesIf you’d like to know whose ancestral tribal lands you currently reside on, you can look up your address here: https://native-land.ca/You can also visit the Coalition of Natives and Allies for more helpful educational resources about Indigenous rights and history.Please check out my latest course offering!

They discuss sacred activism, the power of collaboration, and the transformative potential of small actions. The speakers dive into their collaborative writing process and the desire to reflect authentic witchcraft experiences. They also delve into the importance of reclaiming language, the healing power of soil, and express gratitude towards each other and listeners.

Venezuelan contemporary dance performer Juliana Mendonca discusses her journey through dance, her deep connection with water, and the sacred nature of water. They explore the practical wisdom of the sacred feminine and the power of animal symbols in dance, as well as the importance of ancestral traditions and spirituality. Juliana also shares how liquidanza and the tai-sou no gucci technique have brought healing and a sense of identity.
