Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven

#11 Creative Practice as Priestess Work

Creativity isn't just self-expression. It's soul work. It's alchemy. It's how we make the invisible visible.

In this episode, I explore creativity as a spiritual channel—how art-making processes grief and trauma, how different parts of yourself can create through you, and why creative energy is sexual life force (Shakti). I share my lifelong relationship with art, my interge...

#10 The Fall—An Initiation of Old

Seven months ago, I fell 75 feet while rappelling. My equipment failed. I held onto the rope with both hands and sustained third-degree burns requiring 22 skin grafts. My partner caught my falling weight from the bottom—something that has a 1-2% survival rate for both people. We both walked away alive.

This is the story of a modern initiation. The complete death of the maiden and the painful birth of...

What do you do when you've been shattered? When pieces of yourself have been lost, scattered, taken?

Isis teaches that nothing is ever truly lost—only waiting to be gathered. And the magic isn't just recovering what was broken. It's creating what's missing.

In this episode, we explore Isis—the Great Assembler, throne goddess, healer of lineages, the one who resurrects through love and magic. We're releasing t...

We're in the threshold—between Winter Solstice and Chinese New Year, still in the Year of the Snake. And the Snake's final teaching is the shed.

In this raw bonus episode, I'm naming what I've been afraid to say: I'm a therapist (MA, LPCC) AND a priestess. For too long, I've kept these split into two separate identities, two separate businesses—not because they're contradictory, but because I was a...

Standing at a crossroads? Between who you were and who you're becoming? Hecate is with you.

In this episode, we explore Hecate—the torch-bearer, the key-holder, the goddess of liminal spaces who teaches us that wholeness means holding all phases simultaneously, not choosing between them.

We're recording this between Winter Solstice (December 21st) and Chinese New Year (January 29th, 2026), in the final weeks of the Wood Sna...

Medusa wasn't born a monster. She was a woman, a priestess, a rape survivor who was punished for her own violation. Patriarchy turned her into a warning: this is what happens when women have boundaries too fierce to cross.

But what if the transformation wasn't a curse? What if the serpent crown was sovereignty, and the petrifying gaze was the ultimate boundary—the power to stop anyone who approached with harmful intent?

In ...

Lilith is the goddess who said no. The first woman, made equal to Adam, who refused to submit and was cast out for claiming her sovereignty.

In this episode, Casey reclaims Lilith's story from the demonization and explores what she actually teaches: autonomous sexuality, sacred refusal, primal rage, and the power of saying no without apology.

You'll discover:

• The real myth: Lilith as Adam's equal who chose exile ove...

Welcome to the goddess episodes. We begin with Persephone—the maiden who descends to the underworld and becomes Queen of the Dead.

In this episode, Casey reclaims Persephone's myth from the patriarchal telling of innocent victim to the initiatory reading of sovereign queen. You'll discover why the descent wasn't an abduction but an initiation, what dies when the maiden goes down, and what it means to become queen of y...

Welcome to Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven. This is where we begin.

In this episode, Casey introduces herself—not as someone who's arrived, but as a priestess teaching from the threshold she's walking. With a Master's Degree in Body Psychotherapy and Jungian training, she bridges depth psychology with lived goddess wisdom.

You'll learn:

• Why this podcast exists (and why Casey isn't on social media)

Initiation isn't a metaphor. It's the death of who you were and the birth of who you're becoming—and there's a terrifying void in between.

In this episode, Casey explores what initiation actually is: not the sanitized self-help version, but the real thing that breaks you open and changes you forever. You'll learn why initiations choose you (not the other way around), why death and rebirth are literal experie...

You can't think your way through initiation. Descent work that stays in your head isn't actually descent at all.

In this episode, Casey explores why the body is essential for transformation—and why years of intellectual understanding can leave you completely stuck. Drawing on her MA in Body Psychotherapy, she explains how trauma, grief, and rage live in your tissues, not just your thoughts, and why the goddesses work throu...

Shadow isn't just the "bad" parts of yourself. It's everything you've disowned—including your power, your wildness, your sexuality, and your joy.

In this episode, Casey explores Jungian shadow work and why most people misunderstand what shadow actually is. The work isn't to fix your shadow or transcend it—it's to integrate it and let it make you whole.

You'll discover:

• What shadow actually i...
