Standing at a crossroads? Between who you were and who you're becoming? Hecate is with you.

In this episode, we explore Hecate—the torch-bearer, the key-holder, the goddess of liminal spaces who teaches us that wholeness means holding all phases simultaneously, not choosing between them.

We're recording this between Winter Solstice (December 21st) and Chinese New Year (January 29th, 2026), in the final weeks of the Wood Snake year before the Fire Horse gallops in. This liminal time between shedding and forward motion is Hecate's domain—the threshold where transformation happens.

What we cover:

• Hecate's true mythology (before patriarchy made her "just the crone")
• Why crossroads are initiations, not destinations
• What it means to claim your keys and your sovereignty
• How to hold the torch for others while walking your own path
• The maiden-to-mother threshold and teaching from the in-between

Plus: A guided Hecate practice for standing at your inner crossroads.

If you're in liminal space right now—if you're neither one thing nor another, if you're shedding but not yet ready to run—this episode is for you.

Medusa wasn't born a monster. She was a woman, a priestess, a rape survivor who was punished for her own violation. Patriarchy turned her into a warning: this is what happens when women have boundaries too fierce to cross.

But what if the transformation wasn't a curse? What if the serpent crown was sovereignty, and the petrifying gaze was the ultimate boundary—the power to stop anyone who approached with harmful intent?

In this episode, Casey reclaims Medusa's story and explores:

• The real myth of Medusa
• Why the serpent crown is sacred feminine wisdom, not monstrousness
• The petrifying gaze as absolute boundary: "Look at me with respect, or do not look at all"
• Rage as protective medicine—holding the line, not lashing out
• The difference between traumatized rage and sovereign boundaries

• Who the real monsters are (spoiler: not Medusa)

Casey shares her own ongoing healing journey with sexual trauma and what Medusa continues to teach her about holding sacred boundaries in partnership.

Content warning: This episode discusses sexual violence and may be activating for survivors. Please ensure you have support.

Includes a practice for reclaiming your gaze and your power to protect yourself absolutely.

Lilith is the goddess who said no. The first woman, made equal to Adam, who refused to submit and was cast out for claiming her sovereignty.

In this episode, Casey reclaims Lilith's story from the demonization and explores what she actually teaches: autonomous sexuality, sacred refusal, primal rage, and the power of saying no without apology.

You'll discover:

• The real myth: Lilith as Adam's equal who chose exile over subordination
• Lilith as the serpent teaching Eve to wake up and claim knowledge
• The difference between immature rage (lashing out) and integrated rage (protective boundaries)
• Why Lilith is essential for domestic violence survivors: "Get out. You deserve better."
• Lilith doesn't hate men—she demands they show up as equals
• The evolution from traumatized Lilith to sovereign Lilith to softening in right relationship

Casey shares her full Lilith journey: from PTSD and immature rage, to suppressing Lilith and ending up in emotional abuse, to reclaiming sovereignty and learning to trust again with her partner Matt.

Includes a practice for reclaiming your sacred no.

If you've been called too much, if you've been exiled for your truth, if you've ever chosen yourself over subordination—Lilith walks with you. This episode teaches you that exile isn't punishment. It's freedom.
