In this episode, ancient magic enthusiast and animist practitioner, Vanessa Lavallée joins me to talk about her new book Ancient Goddess Magic: Invoking the Queens of the Heavens.
We discuss the celestial roots of astral magic and the influential goddesses in many classical and ancient Middle Eastern and Pagan cultures.
Highlights include:
- The Legend of Corona Borealis and other constellations.
- The Lady of the Sea, and who is the Goddess Inanna?
- Vanessa shares a much-needed remembrance of the many faces of the goddess, exploring how values and perspective have shifted from symbolic significance to a patriarchal perspective.
- Why it is important to remember our ancestral feminine traditions - Particularly as diviners of planetary intelligence.
- How to invoke specific deities based on thousand-year-old rituals and spiritual practices that are still relevant today.
Vanessa holds a master’s degree in ancient religions and is working towards a doctorate in religious studies. She lives in Montreal, Canada.
