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.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
