  • 35: The Many Faces of the Greek Goddess Persephone

    35: The Many Faces of the Greek Goddess Persephone
    2025/04/20
    This week I tackled the complex Hellenic Queen of the Underworld, Persephone. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, and is often associated with spring, renewal, and maidenhood. But her story is one of transformation: she is abducted by Hades, god of the Underworld, and taken to be his queen. In her mother’s grief, the earth becomes barren , the origin of winter.

    Eventually, a compromise is struck: Persephone will spend part of the year in the Underworld and part above. Thus, she becomes a goddess of duality, ruling both the realm of the dead and the return of life to the earth.

    In this episode I discuss all of the mythological stories of Persephone and how to connect with her. Hope you all enjoy!

  • 34: The Aztec Goddess of Filth, Tlazolteotl

    34: The Aztec Goddess of Filth, Tlazolteotl
    2025/04/06
    This week is all about the Huastec/Aztec goddess, Tlazolteotl. Tlazolteotl is an important deity in the Aztec pantheon, often referred to as the goddess of filth, purification, sexuality, and fertility. Her name roughly translates to "She who is the earth," or "The goddess of filth," with "tlazolli" meaning filth or dirt, and "teotl" meaning god or divine force. She plays a complex role within Aztec mythology, embodying both the destructive and regenerative aspects of life.

    Tlazolteotl is associated with purification, particularly related to physical and spiritual cleansing. She helps to remove impurities, including those related to sexuality, sin, and guilt. In Aztec society, it was believed that the goddess could purify individuals who had committed transgressions, particularly through rituals involving confession and atonement.

    As a goddess of sexuality and fertility, Tlazolteotl was linked to the power of sexual activity, both in terms of its creation and destruction. She was seen as a protector of sexual relationships, but also as one who could purify and cleanse any associated shame or guilt. This made her a complex figure, embodying the contradictory nature of sexuality as both sacred and profane.

    Note: I do realize I pronounced her name 2 different ways throughout the episode! Apologies. Hope you all enjoy this long episode!

  • 31: Fortune's Favor: Exploring the Goddess of Luck❦

    31: Fortune's Favor: Exploring the Goddess of Luck❦
    2025/03/16
    This week we are exploring the Roman Goddess, Fortuna! Fortuna is the ancient Roman goddess of luck, fate, and fortune. Often depicted with a cornucopia (symbolizing abundance) and a wheel (representing the cyclical nature of fate), she embodies the unpredictable forces of chance that govern human lives. Fortuna was believed to control the fortune of individuals and communities, dispensing both good and bad luck. In Roman mythology, she was seen as a capricious force, unpredictable and beyond human control, which led people to invoke her for protection and blessings in their personal and public affairs.

    Fortuna's wheel symbolizes the constant shifting of fortunes, reminding that both prosperity and hardship are transient. Her power extended beyond individuals to entire nations, and she was widely worshipped, especially in times of uncertainty. Her mythological influence has lasted through history, with the concept of "Fortune's Wheel" remaining a metaphor for the ups and downs of fate in modern times.

  • 30: Releasing the Winds of Change: The True Story of Pandora's Jar

    30: Releasing the Winds of Change: The True Story of Pandora's Jar
    2025/03/10
    This week I am discussing the old mythological story of Pandora's Box, or Jar!
    Pandora's Box is a Greek myth in which Pandora, the first woman created by the gods, is given a box (or jar) and told not to open it. Driven by curiosity, she opens the box, releasing all the evils of the world—sorrow, disease, and misfortune. However, at the bottom of the box, she finds hope, which remains inside to help humanity endure the hardships unleashed by her actions.

  • 29: Goddess Baubo: Laughter in the Face of Grief

    29: Goddess Baubo: Laughter in the Face of Grief
    2024/11/17
    This week I am focusing on the Greek Goddess Baubo! Baubo is a lesser-known but powerful figure in Greek mythology, known as the goddess of humor, fertility, joy, and the sacredness of the body. She is most famous for her role in the myth of Demeter and Persephone, where, in a moment of deep grief, Baubo uses humor and a playful, irreverent act to make Demeter laugh and break through her sorrow. In doing so, Baubo helped restore balance to the earth, allowing life to return and the harvest to be restored.

    Baubo embodies the Sacred Fool archetype—using humor, absurdity, and the breaking of taboos as tools for healing and transformation. She represents the power of laughter to heal, challenge social norms, and restore joy, especially in times of hardship. Baubo is also associated with fertility, the body, and unapologetic self-expression, encouraging women to reclaim their physicality, sexuality, and freedom from societal expectations.

    To connect with Baubo, you might focus on cultivating humor, embracing your body, and finding joy in the unexpected. Offer her flowers and plants that resemble vulvas (like poppies, tulips, or lilies), or use geranium essential oil to invoke her energy. Crazy lace agate, known as the "laughter stone," is also associated with her. By embodying Baubo's playful, transformative spirit, you can invite more joy, healing, and freedom into your life.
