Part 2 of our Greek pantheon deep dive explores the gods of love, beauty, and desire: Aphrodite, Eros, and Hera. Love in Greek mythology is complex, layered, and sometimes chaotic.

We break down the six Greek types of love, from passionate desire, to deep friendship and long-term commitment, and explore how each deity represents a different aspect of love. You will learn the myths behind Aphrodite’s power, Eros’ role as both creator and chaos-bringer, and why Hera is far more than just a “jealous wife.”

We also explore the shadow sides of love, how these patterns show up in modern relationships, and how to work with each archetype for self-worth, attraction, and lasting partnership.

If love has ever felt confusing, this episode will help you see it in a whole new way.

This is part 1 of our new deep dive into the Greek pantheon where we are this week exploring the gods of the underworld: Hades, Persephone, and Hecate. We break down their mythology, including the true structure of the underworld, Persephone’s descent and rise to power, and Hecate’s role as the torchbearer and guide between worlds.

We also explore how modern interpretations have reshaped these myths, the themes of shadow work, transformation, and duality, and what these deities represent today. Plus, we share signs that these gods may be reaching out to you and simple ways to begin working with their energy.

If you’re curious about Greek mythology, deity work, or the deeper meaning behind the underworld, this episode is your starting point.

This week we’re diving into a topic you all have been asking us about for a long time: The Witch Trials. What actually happened during this period in history, and how did thousands of people end up accused of witchcraft?

In this episode, we talk about the massive witch hunts that took place across Europe between the 1400s and 1700s, the myths many of us learned about the Salem Witch Trials, and the social, political, and religious forces that fueled these accusations. We also break down some of the bizarre “tests” used to identify witches and why so many of the people targeted were women, healers, or outsiders in their communities.

To finish off, we talk about why this history still matters and how the idea of a “witch hunt” continues to show up in modern culture today.
