In this episode, I’m joined by George Lizos, an author, psychic healer, and Hellenistic priest. George shares his journey of working with the gods and goddesses in Greek religion and becoming a priest in Cyprus. He explains that the gods are not just archetypes, but mirrors of the universe and reflections of universal laws and functions. George also talks about the Greek Wheel of the Year, which honors all 12 major gods and goddesses, and the practice of setting up personal altars to establish a connection with the gods. We discussed the power of connecting with ancestral spirituality and finding a sense of home in our practices.
We are talking about the myths of Lilith, Inanna, Persephone, Eris, and Melusina, as well as a little insight from the love goddess, Venus, too. I’ll be delving much deeper into these goddesses and the shadows and aspects of us they represent during my presentation on dark goddess asteroids during the summit! If you upgrade your free summit ticket to the All-Access Pass, you’ll also get instant access to my Heal the Witch Within quiz and course to help you determine which dark goddess will be most supportive for you.

In this episode, we are exploring the dark divine feminine, which is an aspect that can be found in all of us, regardless of gender. Dark goddesses can be found in almost every culture, pantheon, and mythology as an essential aspect of humanity and working with them as deities or archetypes can be deeply healing to our shadow selves.

So many of us feel deep fear or shame around being a witch, even though we know we are meant for a magickal life. These are called witch wounds – wounds that have been passed down to us from our collective ancestors during the time of the European Witch Trials, a time when it was unsafe to be known as a witch or even to arouse suspicion of such a thing.
Many of us still carry these wounds that keep us ashamed of the power within and afraid of others finding out about our spiritual, magickal, and witchy inclinations. In this season-opening episode, I’m exploring how this fear and shame can show up in our lives and ways to release them so we can live more authentically.

This episode is an excerpt from our 3rd annual Empowered Modern Witches Summit in 2022, an annual online gathering of witches to celebrate the most magickal time of the year. This was a panel discussion between Tenae and several current members of the Starlight Coven, sharing their experiences of bringing magick into their daily lives and truly embodying their most magickal selves.
