In this gentle, healing and cleansing shamanic journey, that has been inspired by the holy wells found in Glastonbury - the heart chakra of the world - you’ll meet the Dark Mother and her daughters, the Dark Goddesses.

More from Awaken Your Inner Wisdom with Cissi Williams
I absolutely love Colette, and have known her for close to twenty years now, so it was such a joy to hear the deeply shamanic journey behind her latest album My Dark Church. In this conversation, Colette shares how a wild shamanic vision led her to meet a shark-toothed sea goddess, a goddess she later discovered was Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea. This meeting became a doorway into Colette's own healing, and, at sixty-eight, she has now reclaimed her inner artist. This is a conversation ...
I love Sam Hadadi's writing on Substack, so I was delighted to connect with her more and talk about her book Hormone Goddess.

And throughout this conversation, Sa...

In this episode, I speak with Gabriela Gutierrez, writer, researcher, poet, mythologist and scholar of ancient religion, to explore a theme very close to my own heart: the female shaman and the role of darkness. Gabriela has spent years finding her way back to the old wisdom of our ancestors, through the living land, the body and the womb. She speaks so beautifully of the darkness as a holy place of revelation, the womb of the Great Mother where new life is birthed into being. It is a convers...
What if the path home to the truth of who you are leads through the portal into the sacred darkness, where you set off on your own underworld journey, just like Persephone does at the Autumn Equinox? I know Lina very well, and I have witnessed the soul transformation she’s gone through as she has walked the shamanic path, becoming a Shamanic Seidr Magic Priestess and Teacher of Shamanic Energy Medicine. She shares so openly about her descent into the underworld, meeting her shadows, and the d...
