Today we bring you Season 2, Episode 7 of The Witchy Shift during which Heatherleigh and Madeleine dig into the massive (and sometimes intimidating) world of working with deities.
We explore topics such as:
-Our personal favorite deities/gods/goddesses and what we love about them
-The question of cultural appreciation vs appropriation when exploring deities from cultures other than our own
-Considering the shadow side and complexities of deities
-AI depictions of Gods and Goddesses
-Our recommendations for dipping your toes into working with a deity, god, or goddess
..and much more!
If you’ve been curious about deity work and want to hear our take, tune in and give it a listen!
This is a hugely complex topic which we plan to explore further in a future episode. Send you thoughts and questions to thewitchyshift@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to tackle them in part 2 of this topic.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
