    Embark with us on a mystical journey, attuning with goddesses and practicing healing witchcraft. Light candles, invoke mystical experiences, and embrace wild and free goddesses. Through poetry and sacred creativity we deepen connections, without rigid rules, following the way of the wild and free goddesses. We discuss balancing everyday life with sacred practices, the benefits of documenting mystical experiences, and cover exercises for awakening your internal mystic, like writing letters for guidance. The cards, dreams, intuitive writing, and more deepen our relationships with goddesses, as we embrace the mystical lifestyle for courage and deep rewards. I wouldn't want to live otherwise.

    Hekate Meditation: Attuning To Her Triple Aspects and Aligning Our Three Selves

    Hail Hekate Triformis, The Triple Goddess. The Unifying The Three Selves Meditation is a foundational practice for connecting with Hekate while aligning our personal energy field consisting of The Three Selves. These three selves represent the lower self (root), the middle self (heart), and the higher self (crown). The meditation process involves connecting with one's breath, relaxing the body, and focusing on the root, heart, and crown selves. By contemplating Hekate Triformis, we perceive our own tri-fold nature mirrored in her three forms. The Unifying The Three Selves Meditation can be found in Keeping Her Keys: An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft, Entering Hekate's Garden: The Magick, Medicine and Mystery of Plant Spirit Witchcraft, and Entering Hekate's Cave: The Journey Through Darkness To Wholeness. Join Covina for a supportive coven community, dedicated to Hekate, where we explore this meditation as part of our daily sacred practice, known as Quotidia.

    Being A Witch In The World: Boundaries, Connection, and Safety

    From close relationships to our beloved goddess, it is only through having the courage to open up that we deepen these connections. As we communicate with the deeper world, while navigating everyday life, we face specific challenges in being open, but it is only through such that we can truly walk with our beloved goddesses and practice our craft. How then do we navigate this need for trust, which is the essence of vulnerability, with the necessity of protection through our boundaries? Join Cyndi, Christen, Liz, Margie, Melanie, Leah, Nicole, and Alyssa for this exploration of being a witch in the world. Learn more about Cyndi Brannen and Covina at keepingherkeys.com

    Demeter: Ancient Goddess of Getting It Together

    We had a fabulous deep conversation about Demeter, who often comes to us when it's time for us to "get it together," whatever the "it" may be for us personally. Demeter, the mother of Persephone, is a significant goddess in Greek and Roman mythology. She represents the natural cycle, agriculture, order, civilization, and the ruling of the home.  The Homeric Hymn to Demeter recounts the story of Persephone's abduction and Demeter's profound grief and anger. In the story, Persephone has been traumatized and abducted by Hades, all with the preapproval of her father (and his brother), Zeus. In her grief, Demeter's refusal to let the seasons change symbolizes the powerlessness and sorrow of a mother who has lost her child.  However, the Orphic Hymn to Demeter gives a fuller picture of her might and majesty. We explore some of her fascinating ancient history, and then bring the conversation forward to today, with our own understanding of her. We all have differing opinions and personal experiences of Demeter, so this is a very spirited conversation. Consider joining me, Christen, Liz, Melanie, Margie, Nicole, Leah, and Alyssa in Covina.
