In this episode of The Pagan Portal Podcast, host Rachel Patterson speaks with Barbara Meiklejohn-Free and Flavia Kate Peters about their life’s work, magical practices, and deep spiritual callings.


Barbara shares the powerful origin of Spirit Visions, born from a four-day vision quest in the Badlands, and the story of Arnemetia — the ancient water and grove goddess of Buxton whose sacred well still flows today. Together, Barbara and Flavia explore the importance of healing past-life wounds, guiding souls through death rites, and weaving magic into the entire cycle of life.


From drumming in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid to their everyday rituals with candles, altars, and incense, they reveal how magic infuses their daily lives. They discuss the role of magical tools, the importance of keeping one’s deities private, and their shamanic connection to animals — from cats who guard their rituals to elephants and leopards offering profound moments of healing.
