Goddess of the Month is Artemis, the Protectress of Women, Children, Nature and the Vulnerable. Over the summer, I found an ancient Latin prayer to Artemis which I wrote next to the glyph for Sagittarius on a sticky note and attached to my desk calendar (which also serves as my blog's editorial calendar.) Apparently, my plan was to work with Artemis the month of December, but in the wake of all the requests for Lilith information in November, I had fallen behind in my research and did not prepare anything on Artemis. Interestingly, I had been reciting the prayer (which goes, "epelthon, epelthon Artemis") rather subconsciously over the past few months everytime I sat down at my desk to write because the sticky note was at eye level. Despite the fact I was sidetracked on the Artemis plan, I personally started to feel strong attraction to her stories. Everytime I'd see her name, I would pay attention, whether it was something I read in a book, or came across on the internet or just happened to see a synchronous message about her. For instance, a video of a little girl feeding a bear came up on my facebook feed the other day. It was soemthing I would normally scroll past, but this felt so intuitively Artemis to me that I couldn't help but stop and linger and watch. And it was just the other day I decided to look up Artemis in my astro chart. I was suprised to discover that I am currently experiencing an Artemis return! (0* Libra!).  You see, when translated, the prayer means "come to us, come to us, Artemis."  Join me all month long on the blog for a journey with Artemis!

This month on the blog, I'm talking about Self Care for the Awakening Woman and in this episode, we will explore the story of Melusine. Did I mention I really love the misunderstood Goddesses? Melusine is one I’ve come to deeply connect with over the past few years, at least since I turned 40. For her, there are many different versions of her story, even tying her back to the ancient primordial creation/ mother goddess, to the Goddess Lilith and she is even tied to the Lady of the Lake, a “melusine,” who fostered Lancelot of the King Arthur Legends… So...where does this leave us? Who IS Melusine and what relevance does she have for today’s modern woman? Melusine is the mermaid Goddess, Queen and Radical Self Care Advocate whose story is often misunderstood. As busy women in a modern world, we can learn a lot from the legend of Melusine!  Tune in to find out how you can channel your inner mermaid to cultivate your self care practice.  Grab yourself a bundle of FREE gifts when you sign up for my newsletter.

If something were to happen RIGHT now (loss of income, job, spouse or loved one, a natural disaster, an accident, etc…) how well are you able to cope? Do you have a solid self care plan to carry you through the tough times? Do you keep your basic needs covered, including your soul needs? Honestly, there are so many podcasts and vlogs with basic self care tips to help you during stressful times, but what I've found is, these tips don't speak to me at all. I mean, I love taking an epsom salt bath to relax, or buying myself a bouquet of flowers to beautify my space, but these acts don't help me when I've landed smack dab into the middle of personal crisis mode!      In this episode, we will dive deep beyond the basics of self-care and talk about the real reason your current self-care habits are not working!  Grab yourself a bundle of FREE gifts when you sign up for my newsletter and dare to remember your sacred self!  www.thegoddessdiaries.org/free-stuff.htm to claim yours today.

I'm excited to have Lasara Firefox Allen on the show to discuss her latest book, "Jailbreaking the Goddess." For me, this book couldn't have come at a better time, as I've been pondering the dogma of late that seems to plague feminist spirituality. For instance, as I've mentioned before, I'm disenchanted with the traditional three-fold Goddess model which is outdated, confines a woman's worth to her uterus and is actually based on patriarchal dictates. Lasara's refreshing new paradigm takes "biology" out of Goddess spirituality and gives us a more rounded model known as the "Five-Fold Goddess."  Please join us and listen to what Lasara has to say about why we need a new paradigm!

In this episode, I am talking about the meaning of the NN Transiting Virgo (The Priestess) as it relates to the world at large and to you on the individual, personal level.  We've seen a lot of violence and chaos this year, and it can be overwhelming if we are not aware of what is truly happening. How will you respond? What can you do to navigate through these choppy times? Listen in for some channeled insights and tips.  NOTE: I will be interviewing Lasara Firefox Allen , author of the newly released "Jailbreaking the Goddess" on next week's episode.

Happy Lughnasadh/ Lammas -- or, what I like to call THE SEASON OF THE QUEEN!  In the Inuit culture, it is said there are over 800 words to describe snow. Snow is such an everyday part of their lives, it stands to reason there would be so many descriptors for it. And in Western Culture, the fact there is a hole in the conversation around midlife female archetypes tells me that this is not important to us. This lack of awareness bothers and perplexes me.  In this Interview with the Urban Shaman, Donna Henes, we talk about this and her book, "Queen of Myself: Stepping into Sovereignty In Midlife." She gives words and meaning -- and a face --  to one of the most potent, creative and important times in a woman's life -- The Season of the Queen!  ***Sound quality notice: we had trouble staying connected, and in parts it does get fuzzy, but I hope you listen to all of this interview because what Mama Donna has to say about claiming the Queen archetype is so fabulous and so important!  The Goddess Diaries Radio empowers women to remember their/they're magic!

Do you resonate with the THREE fold Goddess or the Four Fold? I think we can connect to the energies of Maiden, Mother or Crone regardless of age. But, at 42 years old and peri-menopausal, I feel I have more vitality in me and am not aligned to the Crone aspect just yet. This has got me thinking a lot about the oft-unspoken of fourth archetype, the Matriarch archetype. In this episode, I talk about The Three Fold Goddess and The Four Fold Goddess and archetypes for modern women.  The Goddess Diaries Radio empowers women to remember their/they're magic!
