In this episode, Heather takes us on a wild ride through Lilith’s tangled mythology—where biblical evolution meets modern interpretation, and a nod to Lilith in the CW’s Supernatural of course made the cut.

We kick things off with the Book of Genesis and Lilith’s refusal to settle—because, let’s be honest, she just wanted to be on top. 🤷‍♀️ From there, we unravel her infamous reputation as the first demon, digging into Isaiah 34:14 and the eerie nod to a female entity haunting the night. Some myths even suggest Lilith played the long game, masquerading as the serpent in Eden—revenge never tasted so forbidden.

And while poor Eve got stuck with Adam (arguably the most uninspiring biblical husband), we uncover a very unexpected spiritual revelation—yes, the Jesus kink. We won’t spoil it here, but trust us, you’ll want to buckle up for that one.

The conversation expands into a talk on divine power across cultures, how interpretations of “The Source” change over generations, and why vision boards are really just ancient Pinterest. Ultimately, we’re left wondering—how much of the real magic is just us tapping into something greater?

Oh, and of course, it wouldn’t be Hex Haven without some irreverent closing thoughts. So in the spirit of curiosity, history, and divine rebellion... Send us Jesus nudes! (Just kidding. Sort of.)

In this special episode, we dive into our experience with a free online workshop, Spring Equinox Sacred Reset offered by The Sisters Enchanted —a four-day journey hosted by Sarah that helped participants realign with their New Year’s resolutions and personal goals.

This workshop wasn’t just about setting intentions; it wasan invitation to take a raw and honest look inward. Each day unfolded with profound self-exploration:
🌙 Day One – Using lunar and solar goals, participants werechallenged to uncover the deeper why behind their desires.
💫 Day Two – A journey through the chakras illuminated the areas within ourselves that need attention and healing.
🔮 Day Three – Tarot became the guide for understanding intentions and sharpening self-awareness.
🌿 Day Four – The elements tied everything together, reinforcing balance and connection.

We both felt an undeniable kinship with the host and thematerial presented. Our post-workshop reflections led us into a conversation on society’s obsession with how mothers spend their time—a scrutiny we’veboth found ourselves trapped in. We also unpacked the reality of self-trust, a trait we discovered as our shared weakness, and how narcissistic relationships with partners and family members can erode that trust over time.

If you’re seeking a reset, a moment to realign with your ownpath, we highly recommend exploring the insightful work of The Sisters Enchanted. Check out their offerings here:👉 The Sisters Enchanted Website

Tune in to hear our full breakdown and reflections—we’reexcited to share this journey with you!

In this bonus clip from our conversation with Shanae Smith, we reflect on the insights that surfaced immediately after the interview—the kind that linger and deepen upon further reflection.

On a personal note, I’ve embarked on Shanae’s 5-day astrology course, and even after just Day One, I’m floored. The depth of self-awareness I’ve uncovered already has been nothing short of mind-blowing. It was so profound that I decided to pause, sit with the revelations, and allow them to settle before moving forward.

If you’re curious about using astrology as a tool for personal growth, I can’t recommend this course enough. Just be patient with yourself, and don’t hesitate to tap into the vast resources of the internet when something needs further clarity. You can find a link to her free course below:

In this second half of our Haitian Vodou exploration, we dive into the rituals, myths, and misconceptions that have shaped public perception for centuries. From spirit possession and the sacred role of priestesses and priests to the realities of animal sacrifice, we break down the truth behind the tradition versus the exaggerations normally seen in media.

We also pull back the curtain on secret societies, folklore, and the legend of the Loupgaru, noting it's appearance in Jim Butcher’s Fool Moon as part of pop culture’s evolving supernatural narratives (spoilers ahead!). And if you were expecting references to voodoo dolls, well… our research uncovered nothing tying them explicitly to Haitian Vodou—another pop culture myth to unravel.

Join us as we challenge assumptions, dissect cultural distortions, and embrace the true depth of Vodou’s history.

In this first installment of our deep dive into Haitian Vodou, we trace its powerful origins and the historical forces that shaped it. Starting with the harrowing journey of the Atlantic slave trade, we unravel the resilience and spirit that fueled the Haitian Revolution, paving the way for an independent Haiti.

From there, we explore the complexities of Haitian leadership throughout history and how these turbulent times contributed to the development of Vodou as both a spiritual and cultural force.

We also take you into the heart of the Vodou belief system: meeting the enigmatic lwa, delving into the three main nanchons (families of lwa spirits), and uncovering the layers of syncretism that blend African traditions with Catholic influences. Together, we’ll untangle common practices, rituals, and the phenomenon of possession that bridges the spiritual and physical worlds.

This is more than history—it’s a story of endurance, transformation, and connection to the divine. 🌙
