(00:22):
You're listening to To the Spirit podcast.
Welcome back to To the Spirit, the podcast where the mystical
meets the meaningful and the sacred often shows up wearing
strange clothes. I'm Beck.
(00:43):
And as always, I'm joined by my cosmic copilot and fellow
frequency rider, Rachel. Hey, Rach.
Hey, Beck. What's going on?
I was just enjoying the sun, soaking it up like a cat.
We haven't had it in a while. Way too long.
I don't know where you listenersare located, but if you're in
the Northeast, you feel our pain.
(01:06):
We feel oppressed, depressed. We need to break out our
satellites in the spring. What's that about?
We've had to put on our heaters at night and our fireplaces.
And it's June, literally next week, right?
Give me a break. Memorial.
(01:26):
Day was spent in a hoodie. Yeah, amazing.
People aren't even open in theirpools yet.
Well, today we're opening a conversation that's been a long
time coming. The divine feminine, what she
truly is, how she's rising again, and why this energy is
(01:47):
moving through our collective bones like an ancient river
returning to its course. We're not talking about trendy
goddess memes or girl boss slogans.
We're talking about the real feminine force, the archetype
that births, destroys, heals, and remembers.
(02:07):
We'll explore how the Divine Feminine ties into the Age of
Aquarius is. He a 40 year old virgin.
Yeah, and how she's been historically silenced and
culturally distorted, and how this reawakening is showing up
(02:29):
right now in US, around us, and sometimes in very unexpected
ways, will also wade into deeperwaters.
Why are parts of feminism becoming imbalanced?
Why are so many men feeling lostor disempowered?
Is there a spiritual reason behind the physical shifts we're
(02:50):
seeing in male biology? And how do we get back to a true
union of energies rather than playing tug of war with power?
Oh, and stick around, because Rachel's bringing in some potent
witchy wisdom today on Akate. Am I saying that right, Akate?
Yeah. Akate or hekate OK.
And the Friday the 13th. It's a perfect portal into the
(03:13):
deeper layers of feminine magic,the crossroads, and the
misunderstood holy days we've inherited.
So settle in, whether you're in your sacred rage or your sacred
rest. She's calling, and we're
listening. So what is the Divine Feminine?
(03:33):
The divine feminine isn't about gender, it's about energy.
It lives in everyone, regardlessof identity.
This energy is intuitive, creative, nurturing, chaotic,
sensual, cyclical, wild, wise and incredibly powerful.
(03:54):
For centuries we've been living in an over amplified masculine
system focused on linear thinking, domination, conquest
and rationalism. But now people are feeling the
call of deeper currents, the yento the long standing Yang.
Let's take a moment to break this down a bit.
(04:15):
Divine feminine energy values intuition over logic.
It welcomes mystery over certainty.
It creates space rather than filling it.
It cycles through death and rebirth instead of constant
growth. It feels.
It heals and receives. Rach, I want to ask you this off
the cuff. Do you think the rise of this
(04:37):
energy is showing up in people'severyday lives yet?
Or is it still mostly spiritual circles feeling it?
I think it's more in the spiritual world that we are
feeling in working on embracing our divine feminine.
I think roles have been really pushed to the feminine and
people who should be in their feminine are too imbalanced in
(05:01):
their masculine and vice versa. And I think we need to get back
to that masculine, feminine balance.
Have you seen signs of her reawakening?
I'm starting to, I see it the most honestly on TikTok, women
talking about how we can be in our divine feminine and men
(05:22):
talking about being in the divine feminine as well.
And I know a big one that they really express is that we need
to learn how to receive again. And a lot of us don't receive
and we don't sit back and let someone give to us and we feel
like we have to reciprocate it immediately.
(05:44):
In your feminine, you are a receiver.
You're right, we're conditioned out of that, aren't we?
When we have been for a long time, We're living in an
astrological moment of major recalibration.
The Age of Aquarius is about innovation, freedom, community,
equality, and the breaking down of old hierarchical systems.
(06:08):
And guess what? Those are deeply feminine
principles. They reflect A decentralized,
shared power structure, the kindof ecosystem the divine feminine
thrives in. We're seeing it in the rise of
collective healing spaces, the reclaiming of ancient feminine
practices like moon rituals, womb work, herbalism, a return
(06:31):
to storytelling, circle sharing and heart based leadership, and
yes, even in the crumbling of institutions that can no longer
hold this frequency. You've talked before about
seeing these shifts even in yourwork outside the podcast.
I'm curious, do you feel like there's been an increase in
people wanting to understand themselves energetically,
(06:52):
spiritually, emotionally, especially women?
Yes, and I think a lot of peopleare going through their
awakening and noticing especially around their moon
cycles and their dreams, a lot more vivid dreams and messages
in wanting to understand that side of them.
(07:14):
Yeah, I'm seeing the uptick in women even on TikTok that are
kind of spiritualist people. They're rising.
I'm seeing it. Yeah, they're tuning into their
inner power. Yeah, which we've always had,
women have always had, and it's always been suppressed.
And if you had any ability out of the norm, even just
(07:38):
comforting and helping and healing somebody, you could have
been killed centuries ago, I think.
We're going to get into that, too.
Before we go any deeper into thehistory and distortion of
feminine energy, I want to touchon something really important.
The body, the divine feminine, isn't just a cosmic concept or
(08:00):
archetype floating in the ethers.
She's in US, in flesh and blood and breath.
She speaks through sensation, through subtle shifts, through
the language of cycles. The menstrual cycle is 1
expression, 4 phases, echoing the moon, the seasons, the
tides. For those not menstruating, we
know who you are. The lunar cycle becomes a
(08:22):
mirror, a way to track mood, creativity and energy in a world
that pressures us to stay linearand productive.
And then there's intuition, another sacred gift of the
feminine. That gut feeling, the knowing
that doesn't have receipts but is almost always right.
But here's the kicker. The modern world has trained us
(08:46):
to ignore it. We've been told to second guess
our instincts, override our feelings, and seek logic over
embodied truth. Reconnecting to the Divine
feminine means learning to trustthe body again.
Do you find that people often have to relearn how to listen to
their body? Yeah, because so many times we
(09:10):
get gas lit old that we're just crazy or it's our hormones or
something like that. And really we're right and we
have to not question our our intuitions if we feel that we
have to really take note of thatand don't let somebody convince
(09:31):
you that you're just being crazynot.
To mention the medical system, Imean they gaslight as well, so.
Bad. Well, what do you think are the
first steps for folks trying to reconnect with that part of
themselves? Introspection and tarot.
I just think of the Hermit card is taking some time away,
(09:53):
disconnecting from outside sources and really looking
within. Let's not sugarcoat it.
This reemergence comes after a long, painful exile.
The divine feminine has been suppressed through the
demonization of witches and wisewomen, the burning of feminine
knowledge, religious systems that worship a masculine God
(10:17):
while erasing the goddess, the shaming of emotion, intuition,
and embodiment. This isn't just historical, it's
ancestral. It lives in our bones.
It lives in our mothers and grandmothers and in the parts of
ourselves we've been told we aretoo much.
But now it's being reclaimed. Rach, I've heard you say you
(10:38):
felt the rise of that witch wound in your own life.
Would you be open to sharing what it looked like for you and
maybe how others might be experiencing it without even
realizing it? So I think for the longest time,
and I think it's ancestral wounds for sure behind women,
but a lot of us are brought up not to disturb the peace and not
(11:02):
to speak our truth, just to keepthe water still.
And we hurt because of that. Every time you repress something
and you know it's true and you're not being hurtful to
others, how they react is how they react.
But you have to be your own person too and speak for
(11:25):
yourself or it's physically going to affect you.
Ancestral. Yeah, you feel it.
But have you ever felt like maybe in a past life you were a
witch? Oh for sure.
There are definitely things about me that I can't explain,
dreams that I have had about different times and abilities
(11:49):
that I just kind of come to possess that I think carry with
me over past lives. I've always had a little bit of
irrational fears over certain things too, like fire being
burned at the stake, or drowned or stoned or haunted.
Yeah, it's weird and I always wonder.
(12:11):
I've always had a thing about the throat and I think maybe I
was either strangled or hung in past life.
It's so strange because we're ina time now where we're able to
speak about these things. Many women are holding these
things within them, though they're not releasing.
And if you go back in history, like you were just kind of
(12:32):
touching upon earlier, you were really repressed.
I mean, all through history, maybe not in the far, far
history where goddesses were worshipped, there were Queens
and women that ruled. But that has been quashed for so
long. Yeah.
You. Just take some flowers and help
(12:53):
heal a wound and you were calleda witch and the devil.
Yeah, you couldn't even be an herbalist or a naturopath.
Speaking of witches and reclamation, I want to pivot us
into a space that Rachel's been excited to bring to the table.
We're talking about Hecate. I can never say it.
Rachel Agate, the goddess of crossroads, magic, and the
(13:18):
underworld. And we're also going to talk
about one of her sacred days, Friday the 13th, which most
people have totally misunderstood.
Rachel, I'll admit it, I don't know much about this, so I'm
handing you the broomstick and the flashlight lead us into the.
Shadow so Hakate is the triple Goddess, and her energy is
(13:43):
deeply connected to transitions,rebirth, and the awakening of
the feminine in our time. Who is Hakate?
Hakate is the Greek goddess of magic, the moon, and the
crossroads. She embodies the Maiden, Mother,
and Crone all stages of life andtransformation.
(14:04):
She's the torch bearer, the guide through darkness, and the
protector of those on the edge of change.
Her symbolism is that she carries torches to light the
unknown, keys to unlock hidden doors, and is often seen with
dogs, symbols of loyalty and instinct.
Hikate teaches us that the in between moments, the messy
(14:27):
middles, are sacred. Endings are thresholds, not
failures, and why she's rising now is in the wave of the
feminine awakening. Hikate's presence reminds us to
embrace the full spectrum of whowe are, not just the polished
parts. We're remembering how to be
whole, how to honor our intuition, our cycles, our
(14:51):
grief, and our personal rebirths.
I always thought of her as like some scary witchy demon witch
lady. Really.
Well, yeah, I, you know, when you're not familiar with that
part of spiritualism, you kind of look at it all like it's
black magic, you know, or it's ritualistic.
(15:15):
But I've been learning from you and obviously she is definitely
part of the divine feminine. And if she calls to you, you are
special. Like very special.
Like you are chosen because you can't just choose Hakate.
Hakate calls to you. And I honestly had no idea who
(15:37):
Hakate was a few years back and she actually came to me in a
dream. How did she present herself to
you? So it was night time and I was
outside and there was lightning striking in the sky and I look
and I see a woman who was surrounded by black dogs all
(15:59):
around her. And the woman stood up, and she
had three heads, and the lightning was striking above
her. That's scary.
I didn't think it was scary. You think?
I would think 3. Heads and pounds of hell
surrounding her, but. That was the way to distinguish
it because a lot of times they show her as a three headed 3
faced person to represent the maiden, mother and Crone.
(16:22):
Triple Goddess, Yeah. Gotcha.
And she's always seen with dogs and it's very interesting
because I have 4 dogs myself so I'm.
I feel like I always have that Hokkate energy around me.
I. Think you do?
I do, yeah. Hey.

(17:05):
Stay spirited. The.
(17:50):
So tell us more about the Fridaythe 13th, because we all look at
it like it's a scary bad luck day.
Yeah, it's interesting because 13's always been my lucky
number. I've always loved that number
and come to find out that 13 is a very feminine number.
It's also connected to Freya. I love that name by the way.
(18:12):
Freya. Yeah, it's a beautiful name and
she's got the cats. And vibe with her more.
She like had giant cats that pulled her around on her little
chair. Nice, that's my kind of girl.
I'd be hanging with Freya. So yeah, that brings me the
Friday the 13th. It's been labeled as unlucky,
but its roots are sacred. Friday is ruled by Venus,
(18:34):
goddess of love and beauty, and 13 mirrors the lunar cycles tied
to the feminine and menstrual rhythms.
This day once honored the divinefeminine, and reclaiming that
truth is part of the healing. So if you're at a crossroads
right now, know that Hikate walks with you.
(18:54):
She holds the Lantern not to fixthings for you, but to show you
that you are capable of walking through the dark and becoming
something new on the other side.That's the heart of the feminine
power transformation through truth.
She roots for the underdogs. I do too.
Me too. It's.
(19:15):
Just in US, probably because we are underdogs, we are underdogs
are the best. They are.
But that gave me chills. Thank you, Rachel.
Yeah, let's close out today witha few ways our listeners can
reconnect with this energy, especially if they're just
starting to awaken to it. Practice receiving Say Yes to
(19:38):
help like Rachel said. Yes, and it's so hard for us to
say yes to help now it. Is we're so we're independent
women. That's what we were told.
Say yes to rest. Spend time in nature and notice
it cycles. Reclaim your body is sacred, not
shameful. Journal with your intuition.
(20:02):
Write what comes through withoutjudgement.
Honor the moon, she is your teacher.
Sit in silence. Listen to the womb space, even
if you don't physically have one.
Create art, music, movement, meals.
Creation is divine feminine energy.
(20:24):
Now let's stir the cauldron a bit.
As the divine feminine rises, there's also a shadow surfacing,
and we need to name it. Not everything flying the flag
of feminine power is actually rooted in the sacred feminine,
some of its rage wrapped in fauxempowerment.
(20:45):
Some of it is about control, notcollaboration, and some of it is
just plain hostile towards men. Look, feminism began as a
movement to create equality, butparts of it have morphed into
something else. Space where men are being told
to disappear, shrink, or shut upentirely.
(21:08):
That is not the divine feminine.That's just another imbalance.
And I really feel bad for men. I do too in.
This day and age. Yeah, the real divine feminine,
it doesn't seek to dominate the masculine, she seeks to dance
with it, to heal it, to Co create just like nature does.
What are your thoughts, Rachel, on the difference between sacred
(21:31):
feminine energy and the kind of loud, angry feminism we're
seeing right now that seems to throw the baby or the divine
masculine out with the bathwater?
Yeah, I'm not a fan of it, and it's creating a lot of imbalance
still, because like I said, I feel bad for men because men are
(21:53):
getting silenced. Chivalry is dying because
they're not allowed to open a door, They're not allowed to
smile at someone because everybody reacts so terribly and
they want to be like this victimto the man.
And I'm not discrediting people who have.
Been victims have. Been victims but.
(22:13):
We're talking about that other side though.
Yeah, and it's pushing men to beto in their feminine and they're
not being able to give, to provide and to.
Protect. To protect.
So I heard a term that I really liked from somebody and it's
(22:35):
called Ala carte feminism and they want a man to do XYZ, but
then they want to be able to be the provider.
They want to do what they want until it comes to a certain
thing. Then they want the man to do
that. That's called having your cake
and eating it too, right? You can't.
This episode is not in any way man bashing.
(22:57):
If you've been listening along, I see a lot of mental illness
out there. You know, I heard someone saying
men have created the structures that we live in.
Plumbers, electricians. These are mostly men.
They're keeping the world going.They're going off to war and
serving. Yes, there are women I know, but
(23:20):
we can't just keep doing this. We don't have to just prove that
we can be better. They're just things like my
partner's stronger than me. He can just pick up a washing
machine and move it right and it's fine.
I don't have to prove him wrong.No, I can do it too.
No, go ahead and pick. That up.
I don't want to pick it up. And I think there's something in
(23:40):
me, maybe it's a past life thing, but that chivalry that's
a dead thing really bothers me. Like you had.
Mentioned earlier, I love chivalry.
I love it. What is wrong with a man being
courteous and kind and courting you?
What is wrong with a man openingyour door or taking you out to
dinner and paying for it withouthaving to go Dutch?
I mean, you can if you want, that's fine.
(24:03):
We're not saying that to be divine feminine is to be this
crazy ass feminist. We're saying it's about the
dance, right? The balance.
And while women are being told to harden up and dominate, men
are being told to soften, be passive, and in some cases,
(24:23):
disappear altogether. Add in environmental toxins like
hormone disrupting chemicals, plastic seed oils, and
microplastics, and we're watching a strange, almost
engineered imbalance play out right in front of our eyes.
Masculine energy is being diluted not just in personality,
(24:43):
but physically. We're seeing lower testosterone,
rising infertility rates, and a general confusion about what it
means to be a man anymore. This isn't just a gender crisis,
it's a spiritual one. The world needs sacred masculine
energy just as much as it needs the divine feminine.
(25:04):
We need warriors, protectors, builders, providers.
Not as superior, not as dominant, but as essential
counterparts. I know you've worked with a lot
of people over the years who've struggled with this, men who
feel lost or not allowed to be men anymore.
What would you say to those listening right now who might
(25:24):
feel like they're being spiritually sidelined?
Take charge if the person that you're with is trying to silence
you, take charge and be in your masculine and if they don't like
you for that and if that's who you want to be, then find
(25:44):
somebody who appreciates what you provide and how you.
Protect because there are women out there that would appreciate
that, right? There are women that want to be
in the divine feminine and have that counterpart of divine
masculine, to have that provider, that man that respects
her and loves her. I have really tried to lean into
(26:09):
my feminine and to receive and to nurture but not be a mother
and to tend to to care to to give healing that comfort but
not having to be like in charge and control.
Rach, you're a mother just birthing different things like
creations and art and frequencies.
(26:31):
Right, mothering to other things, but you shouldn't have
to be mothering to your counterpart.
That's true though, a lot of them like that.
And that is not in divine. Masculine.
No, it's not. I want to open the door here to
an aspect of the divine femininethat often gets left out.
(26:52):
The Sacred Mother. Not the domesticated version
we've been handed, but the archetype that's as fierce as
she is nurturing. She's Gaia, who trembles and
quakes when her children are outof balance.
She's Mary, who births light Into Darkness.
She's Kali who destroys illusionto protect the soul.
(27:13):
The Sacred Mother holds space for growth, yes, but she also
sets boundaries, initiates deathcycles, and teaches hard truths
with unwavering love. And maybe what the world is
missing most right now is that presence, the ability to hold
without fixing, to witness without rescuing, to love
(27:36):
without control. Righteous idea of the Sacred
Mother. Do you think we're being called
to mother the world right now oreven remother ourselves?
Yeah, I think we need to nurtureourselves.
We always put ourselves, especially as women, we put
(27:56):
ourselves on the back burner andput everything else before us.
And we are conditioned to think when we do things for ourselves,
it's selfish and we think of it as bad.
But I'm here to tell you that you got to be selfish.
Whether you think it's selfish or not, you have to do that for
(28:18):
yourself and once you nurture yourself, then we can be able to
have the energy to nurture the world.
Heal the world, let's heal the world, let's bring it home.
The truth is, this isn't about replacing one force with
another. The rise of the divine feminine
isn't about wiping the masculineoff the map, it's about bringing
(28:40):
the two into right relationship.The feminine is starting to
rebalance the scales, not tip them in her favor.
The healthiest expression of this new age?
It's when the priestess and the protector walk side by side,
When the soft heart beats with the strong chest.
When intuition and action Co create the world we want to live
(29:01):
in. This is the Age of Aquarius, and
this is what it's calling for now.
Not war between energies, but reunion.
Before we close out, do you haveany thoughts on how people can
begin to heal this divine feminine masculine split in
themselves? I'd say meditation, do research,
(29:22):
learn all the things what defines the true feminine, the
true masculine, and practice it.Practice little things.
Just like we said, someone wantsto help you, let them help you
and don't feel like it has to bereciprocated because you already
reciprocated with your energy. I know it's hard to come out of
that logical side. A lot of us women are
(29:44):
conditioned for that because we had to.
We were in a time that we were taught to think logically,
logistically, and we've lost a lot of that creative balance.
So maybe it's time to bring thatback in.
Another thing too if it peaks your interest to learn the
tarot, The tarot is a lot of balance of feminine and
(30:04):
masculine energies and a lot of those cards signify like the
Empress is the divine feminine, the Emperor's the divine
masculine, but then every minor arcana has a king has a queen,
and they all have their different but equal purposes.
(30:25):
I think society just always is pitting one side against the
other and we have to realize that we're equally as important
and vital for each other and 1 isn't better than the other.
I couldn't have said that bettermyself.
And you mentioned the tarot. I have to mention one of my
favorite shows that I just foundout got cancelled.
And I'm very depressed about this.
(30:46):
Wheel of Time. Oh.
No, it got cancelled. Yeah, if our listeners haven't
had a chance to check out The Wheel of Time and you're into
fantasy, that is the divine feminine in counterbalance with
the divine masculine. And it's exactly what we spoke
about today, just in a fantasy realm.
It's almost parallel to what we're living.
(31:07):
There's a lot of lessons in it. That's.
Probably why it got cancelled ofcourse.
It was good and yet they kept that Lord of Rings show on
Amazon. It wasn't trash enough, so it's.
True, it's not reality trash TV or the news.
It's like, what was that show Firefly?
Oh yeah, I never watched it. People loved it.
(31:28):
That's a really good one. The Divine Feminine isn't just a
concept, it's a return, a homecoming, A remembering.
She doesn't gently knock sometimes.
She arrives in heartbeat and breakdown, in the moment you
realize you've been surviving when you were meant to thrive,
and she's here now, in this age,in you.
(31:51):

You're listening to To the Spirit podcast.
Welcome back to To the Spirit, the podcast where the mystical
meets the meaningful and the sacred often shows up wearing
strange clothes. I'm Beck.
(00:43):
And as always, I'm joined by my cosmic copilot and fellow
frequency rider, Rachel. Hey, Rach.
Hey, Beck. What's going on?
I was just enjoying the sun, soaking it up like a cat.
We haven't had it in a while. Way too long.
I don't know where you listenersare located, but if you're in
the Northeast, you feel our pain.
(01:06):
We feel oppressed, depressed. We need to break out our
satellites in the spring. What's that about?
We've had to put on our heaters at night and our fireplaces.
And it's June, literally next week, right?
Give me a break. Memorial.
(01:26):
Day was spent in a hoodie. Yeah, amazing.
People aren't even open in theirpools yet.
Well, today we're opening a conversation that's been a long
time coming. The divine feminine, what she
truly is, how she's rising again, and why this energy is
(01:47):
moving through our collective bones like an ancient river
returning to its course. We're not talking about trendy
goddess memes or girl boss slogans.
We're talking about the real feminine force, the archetype
that births, destroys, heals, and remembers.
(02:07):
We'll explore how the Divine Feminine ties into the Age of
Aquarius is. He a 40 year old virgin.
Yeah, and how she's been historically silenced and
culturally distorted, and how this reawakening is showing up
(02:29):
right now in US, around us, and sometimes in very unexpected
ways, will also wade into deeperwaters.
Why are parts of feminism becoming imbalanced?
Why are so many men feeling lostor disempowered?
Is there a spiritual reason behind the physical shifts we're
(02:50):
seeing in male biology? And how do we get back to a true
union of energies rather than playing tug of war with power?
Oh, and stick around, because Rachel's bringing in some potent
witchy wisdom today on Akate. Am I saying that right, Akate?
Yeah. Akate or hekate OK.
And the Friday the 13th. It's a perfect portal into the
(03:13):
deeper layers of feminine magic,the crossroads, and the
misunderstood holy days we've inherited.
So settle in, whether you're in your sacred rage or your sacred
rest. She's calling, and we're
listening. So what is the Divine Feminine?
(03:33):
The divine feminine isn't about gender, it's about energy.
It lives in everyone, regardlessof identity.
This energy is intuitive, creative, nurturing, chaotic,
sensual, cyclical, wild, wise and incredibly powerful.
(03:54):
For centuries we've been living in an over amplified masculine
system focused on linear thinking, domination, conquest
and rationalism. But now people are feeling the
call of deeper currents, the yento the long standing Yang.
Let's take a moment to break this down a bit.
(04:15):
Divine feminine energy values intuition over logic.
It welcomes mystery over certainty.
It creates space rather than filling it.
It cycles through death and rebirth instead of constant
growth. It feels.
It heals and receives. Rach, I want to ask you this off
the cuff. Do you think the rise of this
(04:37):
energy is showing up in people'severyday lives yet?
Or is it still mostly spiritual circles feeling it?
I think it's more in the spiritual world that we are
feeling in working on embracing our divine feminine.
I think roles have been really pushed to the feminine and
people who should be in their feminine are too imbalanced in
(05:01):
their masculine and vice versa. And I think we need to get back
to that masculine, feminine balance.
Have you seen signs of her reawakening?
I'm starting to, I see it the most honestly on TikTok, women
talking about how we can be in our divine feminine and men
(05:22):
talking about being in the divine feminine as well.
And I know a big one that they really express is that we need
to learn how to receive again. And a lot of us don't receive
and we don't sit back and let someone give to us and we feel
like we have to reciprocate it immediately.
(05:44):
In your feminine, you are a receiver.
You're right, we're conditioned out of that, aren't we?
When we have been for a long time, We're living in an
astrological moment of major recalibration.
The Age of Aquarius is about innovation, freedom, community,
equality, and the breaking down of old hierarchical systems.
(06:08):
And guess what? Those are deeply feminine
principles. They reflect A decentralized,
shared power structure, the kindof ecosystem the divine feminine
thrives in. We're seeing it in the rise of
collective healing spaces, the reclaiming of ancient feminine
practices like moon rituals, womb work, herbalism, a return
(06:31):
to storytelling, circle sharing and heart based leadership, and
yes, even in the crumbling of institutions that can no longer
hold this frequency. You've talked before about
seeing these shifts even in yourwork outside the podcast.
I'm curious, do you feel like there's been an increase in
people wanting to understand themselves energetically,
(06:52):
spiritually, emotionally, especially women?
Yes, and I think a lot of peopleare going through their
awakening and noticing especially around their moon
cycles and their dreams, a lot more vivid dreams and messages
in wanting to understand that side of them.
(07:14):
Yeah, I'm seeing the uptick in women even on TikTok that are
kind of spiritualist people. They're rising.
I'm seeing it. Yeah, they're tuning into their
inner power. Yeah, which we've always had,
women have always had, and it's always been suppressed.
And if you had any ability out of the norm, even just
(07:38):
comforting and helping and healing somebody, you could have
been killed centuries ago, I think.
We're going to get into that, too.
Before we go any deeper into thehistory and distortion of
feminine energy, I want to touchon something really important.
The body, the divine feminine, isn't just a cosmic concept or
(08:00):
archetype floating in the ethers.
She's in US, in flesh and blood and breath.
She speaks through sensation, through subtle shifts, through
the language of cycles. The menstrual cycle is 1
expression, 4 phases, echoing the moon, the seasons, the
tides. For those not menstruating, we
know who you are. The lunar cycle becomes a
(08:22):
mirror, a way to track mood, creativity and energy in a world
that pressures us to stay linearand productive.
And then there's intuition, another sacred gift of the
feminine. That gut feeling, the knowing
that doesn't have receipts but is almost always right.
But here's the kicker. The modern world has trained us
(08:46):
to ignore it. We've been told to second guess
our instincts, override our feelings, and seek logic over
embodied truth. Reconnecting to the Divine
feminine means learning to trustthe body again.
Do you find that people often have to relearn how to listen to
their body? Yeah, because so many times we
(09:10):
get gas lit old that we're just crazy or it's our hormones or
something like that. And really we're right and we
have to not question our our intuitions if we feel that we
have to really take note of thatand don't let somebody convince
(09:31):
you that you're just being crazynot.
To mention the medical system, Imean they gaslight as well, so.
Bad. Well, what do you think are the
first steps for folks trying to reconnect with that part of
themselves? Introspection and tarot.
I just think of the Hermit card is taking some time away,
(09:53):
disconnecting from outside sources and really looking
within. Let's not sugarcoat it.
This reemergence comes after a long, painful exile.
The divine feminine has been suppressed through the
demonization of witches and wisewomen, the burning of feminine
knowledge, religious systems that worship a masculine God
(10:17):
while erasing the goddess, the shaming of emotion, intuition,
and embodiment. This isn't just historical, it's
ancestral. It lives in our bones.
It lives in our mothers and grandmothers and in the parts of
ourselves we've been told we aretoo much.
But now it's being reclaimed. Rach, I've heard you say you
(10:38):
felt the rise of that witch wound in your own life.
Would you be open to sharing what it looked like for you and
maybe how others might be experiencing it without even
realizing it? So I think for the longest time,
and I think it's ancestral wounds for sure behind women,
but a lot of us are brought up not to disturb the peace and not
(11:02):
to speak our truth, just to keepthe water still.
And we hurt because of that. Every time you repress something
and you know it's true and you're not being hurtful to
others, how they react is how they react.
But you have to be your own person too and speak for
(11:25):
yourself or it's physically going to affect you.
Ancestral. Yeah, you feel it.
But have you ever felt like maybe in a past life you were a
witch? Oh for sure.
There are definitely things about me that I can't explain,
dreams that I have had about different times and abilities
(11:49):
that I just kind of come to possess that I think carry with
me over past lives. I've always had a little bit of
irrational fears over certain things too, like fire being
burned at the stake, or drowned or stoned or haunted.
Yeah, it's weird and I always wonder.
(12:11):
I've always had a thing about the throat and I think maybe I
was either strangled or hung in past life.
It's so strange because we're ina time now where we're able to
speak about these things. Many women are holding these
things within them, though they're not releasing.
And if you go back in history, like you were just kind of
(12:32):
touching upon earlier, you were really repressed.
I mean, all through history, maybe not in the far, far
history where goddesses were worshipped, there were Queens
and women that ruled. But that has been quashed for so
long. Yeah.
You. Just take some flowers and help
(12:53):
heal a wound and you were calleda witch and the devil.
Yeah, you couldn't even be an herbalist or a naturopath.
Speaking of witches and reclamation, I want to pivot us
into a space that Rachel's been excited to bring to the table.
We're talking about Hecate. I can never say it.
Rachel Agate, the goddess of crossroads, magic, and the
(13:18):
underworld. And we're also going to talk
about one of her sacred days, Friday the 13th, which most
people have totally misunderstood.
Rachel, I'll admit it, I don't know much about this, so I'm
handing you the broomstick and the flashlight lead us into the.
Shadow so Hakate is the triple Goddess, and her energy is
(13:43):
deeply connected to transitions,rebirth, and the awakening of
the feminine in our time. Who is Hakate?
Hakate is the Greek goddess of magic, the moon, and the
crossroads. She embodies the Maiden, Mother,
and Crone all stages of life andtransformation.
(14:04):
She's the torch bearer, the guide through darkness, and the
protector of those on the edge of change.
Her symbolism is that she carries torches to light the
unknown, keys to unlock hidden doors, and is often seen with
dogs, symbols of loyalty and instinct.
Hikate teaches us that the in between moments, the messy
(14:27):
middles, are sacred. Endings are thresholds, not
failures, and why she's rising now is in the wave of the
feminine awakening. Hikate's presence reminds us to
embrace the full spectrum of whowe are, not just the polished
parts. We're remembering how to be
whole, how to honor our intuition, our cycles, our
(14:51):
grief, and our personal rebirths.
I always thought of her as like some scary witchy demon witch
lady. Really.
Well, yeah, I, you know, when you're not familiar with that
part of spiritualism, you kind of look at it all like it's
black magic, you know, or it's ritualistic.
(15:15):
But I've been learning from you and obviously she is definitely
part of the divine feminine. And if she calls to you, you are
special. Like very special.
Like you are chosen because you can't just choose Hakate.
Hakate calls to you. And I honestly had no idea who
(15:37):
Hakate was a few years back and she actually came to me in a
dream. How did she present herself to
you? So it was night time and I was
outside and there was lightning striking in the sky and I look
and I see a woman who was surrounded by black dogs all
(15:59):
around her. And the woman stood up, and she
had three heads, and the lightning was striking above
her. That's scary.
I didn't think it was scary. You think?
I would think 3. Heads and pounds of hell
surrounding her, but. That was the way to distinguish
it because a lot of times they show her as a three headed 3
faced person to represent the maiden, mother and Crone.
(16:22):
Triple Goddess, Yeah. Gotcha.
And she's always seen with dogs and it's very interesting
because I have 4 dogs myself so I'm.
I feel like I always have that Hokkate energy around me.
I. Think you do?
I do, yeah. Hey.

(17:05):
Stay spirited. The.
(17:50):
So tell us more about the Fridaythe 13th, because we all look at
it like it's a scary bad luck day.
Yeah, it's interesting because 13's always been my lucky
number. I've always loved that number
and come to find out that 13 is a very feminine number.
It's also connected to Freya. I love that name by the way.
(18:12):
Freya. Yeah, it's a beautiful name and
she's got the cats. And vibe with her more.
She like had giant cats that pulled her around on her little
chair. Nice, that's my kind of girl.
I'd be hanging with Freya. So yeah, that brings me the
Friday the 13th. It's been labeled as unlucky,
but its roots are sacred. Friday is ruled by Venus,
(18:34):
goddess of love and beauty, and 13 mirrors the lunar cycles tied
to the feminine and menstrual rhythms.
This day once honored the divinefeminine, and reclaiming that
truth is part of the healing. So if you're at a crossroads
right now, know that Hikate walks with you.
(18:54):
She holds the Lantern not to fixthings for you, but to show you
that you are capable of walking through the dark and becoming
something new on the other side.That's the heart of the feminine
power transformation through truth.
She roots for the underdogs. I do too.
Me too. It's.
(19:15):
Just in US, probably because we are underdogs, we are underdogs
are the best. They are.
But that gave me chills. Thank you, Rachel.
Yeah, let's close out today witha few ways our listeners can
reconnect with this energy, especially if they're just
starting to awaken to it. Practice receiving Say Yes to
(19:38):
help like Rachel said. Yes, and it's so hard for us to
say yes to help now it. Is we're so we're independent
women. That's what we were told.
Say yes to rest. Spend time in nature and notice
it cycles. Reclaim your body is sacred, not
shameful. Journal with your intuition.
(20:02):
Write what comes through withoutjudgement.
Honor the moon, she is your teacher.
Sit in silence. Listen to the womb space, even
if you don't physically have one.
Create art, music, movement, meals.
Creation is divine feminine energy.
(20:24):
Now let's stir the cauldron a bit.
As the divine feminine rises, there's also a shadow surfacing,
and we need to name it. Not everything flying the flag
of feminine power is actually rooted in the sacred feminine,
some of its rage wrapped in fauxempowerment.
(20:45):
Some of it is about control, notcollaboration, and some of it is
just plain hostile towards men. Look, feminism began as a
movement to create equality, butparts of it have morphed into
something else. Space where men are being told
to disappear, shrink, or shut upentirely.
(21:08):
That is not the divine feminine.That's just another imbalance.
And I really feel bad for men. I do too in.
This day and age. Yeah, the real divine feminine,
it doesn't seek to dominate the masculine, she seeks to dance
with it, to heal it, to Co create just like nature does.
What are your thoughts, Rachel, on the difference between sacred
(21:31):
feminine energy and the kind of loud, angry feminism we're
seeing right now that seems to throw the baby or the divine
masculine out with the bathwater?
Yeah, I'm not a fan of it, and it's creating a lot of imbalance
still, because like I said, I feel bad for men because men are
(21:53):
getting silenced. Chivalry is dying because
they're not allowed to open a door, They're not allowed to
smile at someone because everybody reacts so terribly and
they want to be like this victimto the man.
And I'm not discrediting people who have.
Been victims have. Been victims but.
(22:13):
We're talking about that other side though.
Yeah, and it's pushing men to beto in their feminine and they're
not being able to give, to provide and to.
Protect. To protect.
So I heard a term that I really liked from somebody and it's
(22:35):
called Ala carte feminism and they want a man to do XYZ, but
then they want to be able to be the provider.
They want to do what they want until it comes to a certain
thing. Then they want the man to do
that. That's called having your cake
and eating it too, right? You can't.
This episode is not in any way man bashing.
(22:57):
If you've been listening along, I see a lot of mental illness
out there. You know, I heard someone saying
men have created the structures that we live in.
Plumbers, electricians. These are mostly men.
They're keeping the world going.They're going off to war and
serving. Yes, there are women I know, but
(23:20):
we can't just keep doing this. We don't have to just prove that
we can be better. They're just things like my
partner's stronger than me. He can just pick up a washing
machine and move it right and it's fine.
I don't have to prove him wrong.No, I can do it too.
No, go ahead and pick. That up.
I don't want to pick it up. And I think there's something in
(23:40):
me, maybe it's a past life thing, but that chivalry that's
a dead thing really bothers me. Like you had.
Mentioned earlier, I love chivalry.
I love it. What is wrong with a man being
courteous and kind and courting you?
What is wrong with a man openingyour door or taking you out to
dinner and paying for it withouthaving to go Dutch?
I mean, you can if you want, that's fine.
(24:03):
We're not saying that to be divine feminine is to be this
crazy ass feminist. We're saying it's about the
dance, right? The balance.
And while women are being told to harden up and dominate, men
are being told to soften, be passive, and in some cases,
(24:23):
disappear altogether. Add in environmental toxins like
hormone disrupting chemicals, plastic seed oils, and
microplastics, and we're watching a strange, almost
engineered imbalance play out right in front of our eyes.
Masculine energy is being diluted not just in personality,
(24:43):
but physically. We're seeing lower testosterone,
rising infertility rates, and a general confusion about what it
means to be a man anymore. This isn't just a gender crisis,
it's a spiritual one. The world needs sacred masculine
energy just as much as it needs the divine feminine.
(25:04):
We need warriors, protectors, builders, providers.
Not as superior, not as dominant, but as essential
counterparts. I know you've worked with a lot
of people over the years who've struggled with this, men who
feel lost or not allowed to be men anymore.
What would you say to those listening right now who might
(25:24):
feel like they're being spiritually sidelined?
Take charge if the person that you're with is trying to silence
you, take charge and be in your masculine and if they don't like
you for that and if that's who you want to be, then find
(25:44):
somebody who appreciates what you provide and how you.
Protect because there are women out there that would appreciate
that, right? There are women that want to be
in the divine feminine and have that counterpart of divine
masculine, to have that provider, that man that respects
her and loves her. I have really tried to lean into
(26:09):
my feminine and to receive and to nurture but not be a mother
and to tend to to care to to give healing that comfort but
not having to be like in charge and control.
Rach, you're a mother just birthing different things like
creations and art and frequencies.
(26:31):
Right, mothering to other things, but you shouldn't have
to be mothering to your counterpart.
That's true though, a lot of them like that.
And that is not in divine. Masculine.
No, it's not. I want to open the door here to
an aspect of the divine femininethat often gets left out.
(26:52):
The Sacred Mother. Not the domesticated version
we've been handed, but the archetype that's as fierce as
she is nurturing. She's Gaia, who trembles and
quakes when her children are outof balance.
She's Mary, who births light Into Darkness.
She's Kali who destroys illusionto protect the soul.
(27:13):
The Sacred Mother holds space for growth, yes, but she also
sets boundaries, initiates deathcycles, and teaches hard truths
with unwavering love. And maybe what the world is
missing most right now is that presence, the ability to hold
without fixing, to witness without rescuing, to love
(27:36):
without control. Righteous idea of the Sacred
Mother. Do you think we're being called
to mother the world right now oreven remother ourselves?
Yeah, I think we need to nurtureourselves.
We always put ourselves, especially as women, we put
(27:56):
ourselves on the back burner andput everything else before us.
And we are conditioned to think when we do things for ourselves,
it's selfish and we think of it as bad.
But I'm here to tell you that you got to be selfish.
Whether you think it's selfish or not, you have to do that for
(28:18):
yourself and once you nurture yourself, then we can be able to
have the energy to nurture the world.
Heal the world, let's heal the world, let's bring it home.
The truth is, this isn't about replacing one force with
another. The rise of the divine feminine
isn't about wiping the masculineoff the map, it's about bringing
(28:40):
the two into right relationship.The feminine is starting to
rebalance the scales, not tip them in her favor.
The healthiest expression of this new age?
It's when the priestess and the protector walk side by side,
When the soft heart beats with the strong chest.
When intuition and action Co create the world we want to live
(29:01):
in. This is the Age of Aquarius, and
this is what it's calling for now.
Not war between energies, but reunion.
Before we close out, do you haveany thoughts on how people can
begin to heal this divine feminine masculine split in
themselves? I'd say meditation, do research,
(29:22):
learn all the things what defines the true feminine, the
true masculine, and practice it.Practice little things.
Just like we said, someone wantsto help you, let them help you
and don't feel like it has to bereciprocated because you already
reciprocated with your energy. I know it's hard to come out of
that logical side. A lot of us women are
(29:44):
conditioned for that because we had to.
We were in a time that we were taught to think logically,
logistically, and we've lost a lot of that creative balance.
So maybe it's time to bring thatback in.
Another thing too if it peaks your interest to learn the
tarot, The tarot is a lot of balance of feminine and
(30:04):
masculine energies and a lot of those cards signify like the
Empress is the divine feminine, the Emperor's the divine
masculine, but then every minor arcana has a king has a queen,
and they all have their different but equal purposes.
(30:25):
I think society just always is pitting one side against the
other and we have to realize that we're equally as important
and vital for each other and 1 isn't better than the other.
I couldn't have said that bettermyself.
And you mentioned the tarot. I have to mention one of my
favorite shows that I just foundout got cancelled.
And I'm very depressed about this.
(30:46):
Wheel of Time. Oh.
No, it got cancelled. Yeah, if our listeners haven't
had a chance to check out The Wheel of Time and you're into
fantasy, that is the divine feminine in counterbalance with
the divine masculine. And it's exactly what we spoke
about today, just in a fantasy realm.
It's almost parallel to what we're living.
(31:07):
There's a lot of lessons in it. That's.
Probably why it got cancelled ofcourse.
It was good and yet they kept that Lord of Rings show on
Amazon. It wasn't trash enough, so it's.
True, it's not reality trash TV or the news.
It's like, what was that show Firefly?
Oh yeah, I never watched it. People loved it.
(31:28):
That's a really good one. The Divine Feminine isn't just a
concept, it's a return, a homecoming, A remembering.
She doesn't gently knock sometimes.
She arrives in heartbeat and breakdown, in the moment you
realize you've been surviving when you were meant to thrive,
and she's here now, in this age,in you.
(31:51):
