197. Fast Friday: Qetesh & Persephone of Goddesses and Sirens

10/16/23 • 22 min

Do you make your own pleasure a priority?

Have you learned to embrace the ever-expanding-and-folding cycles of life?

In today's episode, I will reference Stacey Demarco's ⁠Goddesses and Sirens⁠ oracle cards, which are illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two feminine icons: Qetesh, the Sumerian goddess of pleasure, and Persephone, Greek goddess of cycles.

The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are fundamental to cultivating contentedness and peace in this lifetime. Qetesh urges us to actively seek and become aware of the obstacles to our pleasure. Persephone invites us to go with the flow and live in harmony with the cycles of life. How do these gentle reminders feel in your body? Are you open to inviting pleasure and cyclical energy into your life in a small or substantial way?

191. Fast Friday: Helen of Troy & Joan d'Arc of Goddesses and Sirens

The truth is, everything has a shadow...even the "pure" concepts of beauty and bravery!

How can we learn to embrace our shadows and integrate their wisdom into our lives?

In today's episode, I will reference Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be exploring two historical feminine icons: the beautiful Helen of Troy and the brave Joan of Arc.

The historical accounts of these two women are mired in tragedy, and yet they continue to resonate through time and space as icons of beauty and faith. Helen of Troy was caught in an illusion of beauty that became more powerful than herself, and Joan of Arc's devout faith and audacious bravery became her downfall. Their stories remind us that beauty and faith can be easily misused and misinterpreted in their extreme forms.

How do you connect with the divine?

Do you dream? Meditate? Do you...contemplate trees?

We each have our unique way of relating with the spiritual world through our individual belief systems and personal cosmologies. Theresa Dintino, my amazing guest today, regularly interacts with elemental beings, Earth, cosmic entities and ancestral lineages as a practitioner of the Dagara tradition of divination from West Africa.

In this episode, Theresa shares essential advice for those who want to develop their relationship with the divine, her ways of maintaining spiritual connection and the importance of practicing under the law of reciprocity. We discuss dark energy and how to address it, feminine fierceness and the collective need to restore our connections to our spiritual lineage.

For more than 30 years Theresa has studied and practiced an Earth-based spirituality. In 2011, she was initiated as a diviner in a West African tradition. She currently helps others reclaim their personal medicine lineages through her divination work. Her magnificent work can be found at ritualgoddess.com. Theresa is also a steward of stregatree.com and the co-creator of nastywomenwriters.com. Theresa's resources are INCREDIBLE and I highly recommend checking them out!
