Description
Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven explores goddess archetypes, spiritual growth, shadow work, and somatic psychology through a lens of depth and embodiment. Hosted by Casey Dunne—Priestess of Isis and Lilith & Somatic Psychotherapist, MA in Body Psychotherapy with Jungian training—this podcast bridges teaching psychology frameworks with divine feminine goddess wisdom. Whether you’re exploring astrology through archetypes, Human Design, Akashic Records, tarot and divination, or sacred geometry—or ready to go deeper into embodied shadow work—this is where spiritual curiosity meets grounded transformation. This isn't therapy. It's spiritual education and embodied shadow work for empowered women, witches, healers, and initiates walking the path of transformation through descent, integration, and reclaiming holistic wellbeing. Because the path to collective healing begins with our own descent into wholeness.

Send a text The portal closes and the real work begins. After weeks of eclipse turbulence, we explore how to turn revelations into a steadier way of living by bringing the mystical into the material—through your breath, your posture, your pace, and the ground under your feet. We map the emotional weather of an Aquarius solar eclipse and a Virgo lunar eclipse, then connect it to a supportive week in the sky: Jupiter stations direct in Cancer, inviting nurtured growth and deeper care, while Mer...
Send a text A fever knocked us flat, and a doorway opened. From that forced stillness came a spontaneous transmission from Hecate—the titan at the crossroads—on what it really means to hold your own keys. We step into eclipse-season echoes, body-based wisdom, and the radical idea that rest is not a collapse of momentum but the ground of true power. We unpack how predictions, omens, and astrology can guide without stealing agency, and why the future stays fluid because choice is always in pla...
Send a text What if power stopped being a performance and became a presence you live in your body every day? We dive into the Queen archetype—the mature feminine who knows her worth, builds strong containers, and gives from fullness—not as a destination but as a daily practice. From the first apology for a missed release to a grounded re-entry after illness, we trace the real-life threshold from maiden to mother to queen and name the grief, resistance, and relief along the way. We explore wh...
Send a text A buried truth is rising, and the sky is signaling it. A new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius, the turn to the fire horse year, and Saturn meeting Neptune at zero degrees Aries set the stage for a collective reset—one that asks us to rebuild our spiritual lives with equal measures of structure and wonder. We take that cue to revisit Mary Magdalene, not as the “fallen woman” of legend, but as priestess, teacher, patron, and the first witness to resurrection. We walk through the hist...
Send a text Time just changed shape. With Saturn stepping into Aries and the eclipse portal cracking open, we explore how myth, psychology, and lived experience meet to push us from processing into purposeful action. We start with Jung’s archetypes to ground astrology in something real: universal patterns that move through our stories, bodies, and choices. From there, we track Saturn as Kronos—the teacher of time—through his arc of order, fear, fall, and redemption, and show how that symbolis...
Send a text #16 Akashic Records, Jungian Collective Unconscious, and a Four-Step Path to Healing the Earth What if the earth were your primary client? That single line reframed everything for me—shifting healing from the one-to-one room into a collective, embodied mission grounded in archetypes, somatics, and a framework that arrived through art and quiet attention. We open with timely cosmic weather—Uranus stationing direct and Mercury’s move into Pisces—as a mirror for moving from rational...
Send a text What if climate change is not only catastrophe, but initiation—the moment the Dark Mother Archetype as Kali Ma clears space for new life? We sit with the goddess Kali as myth and mirror, exploring how destruction, when held with love, becomes a path to renewal. Through wildfire’s hard lessons, we learn to titrate grief, metabolize rage, and stay present enough to act with clarity rather than collapse into doom or denial. We read the sky as a companion to the ground. Neptune’s rar...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 14: Healing The Witch Wound With Hecate | Somatic Wisdom for Sensitive Nervous Systems | With April Lampert, MA, LPCC The fear of being “too much” has roots that run deeper than self-doubt. We trace the witch wound from European trials to modern life, where sensitive bodies still calculate the cost of visibility, and where power can feel dangerous to claim. With special guest, April Lampert (she/her), MA, LPCC and fellow somatic therapist and coven sister, we unp...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 13: What the Body Remembers | Chronic Illness, Trauma & Movement as Medicine Your body remembers everything—every trauma, every initiation, every unprocessed emotion. It stores these in your tissues, your nervous system, your cells. And it's been trying to tell you something. In this episode, Casey explores the science of somatics and what happens when we actually listen to what the body knows: How implicit memory stores trauma in tissues, muscles, fascia, an...
Send a text #12 Creative Practice as Priestess Work Creativity isn't just self-expression. It's soul work. It's alchemy. It's how we make the invisible visible. In this episode, I explore creativity as a spiritual channel—how art-making processes grief and trauma, how different parts of yourself can create through you, and why creative energy is sexual life force (Shakti). I share my lifelong relationship with art, my intergenerational creative lineage, and what happened when I let my teenage...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 11: The Fall—An Initiation of Old Seven months ago, I fell 75 feet while rappelling. My equipment failed. I held onto the rope with both hands and sustained third-degree burns requiring 22 skin grafts. My partner caught my falling weight from the bottom—something that has a 1-2% survival rate for both people. We both walked away alive. This is the story of a modern initiation. The complete death of the maiden and the painful birth of the mother. Content warning: ...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 10: Isis: The One Who Reassembles | Psychology Meets Mythology What do you do when you've been shattered? When pieces of yourself have been lost, scattered, taken? Isis teaches that nothing is ever truly lost—only waiting to be gathered. And the magic isn't just recovering what was broken. It's creating what's missing. In this episode, we explore Isis—the Great Assembler, throne goddess, healer of lineages, the one who resurrects through love and magic. We're rel...
Send a text Season 1, Surprise Episode 9: Breaking the Matrix of Separation, The Final Shedding of 2025 We're in the threshold—between Winter Solstice and Chinese New Year, still in the Year of the Snake. And the Snake's final teaching is the shed. In this raw bonus episode, I'm naming what I've been afraid to say: I'm a therapist (MA, LPCC) AND a priestess. For too long, I've kept these split into two separate identities, two separate businesses—not because they're contradictory, but because...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 8: Hekate: The Torch in the Dark Standing at a crossroads? Between who you were and who you're becoming? Hecate is with you. In this episode, we explore Hecate—the torch-bearer, the key-holder, the goddess of liminal spaces who teaches us that wholeness means holding all phases simultaneously, not choosing between them. We're recording this between Winter Solstice (December 21st) and Chinese New Year (January 29th, 2026), in the final weeks of the Wood Snake year...
Send a text Season 1 Episode 7, Medusa: What Rage Protects Medusa wasn't born a monster. She was a woman, a priestess, a rape survivor who was punished for her own violation. Patriarchy turned her into a warning: this is what happens when women have boundaries too fierce to cross. But what if the transformation wasn't a curse? What if the serpent crown was sovereignty, and the petrifying gaze was the ultimate boundary—the power to stop anyone who approached with harmful intent? In this episod...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 6: Lilith: The Exiled One Lilith is the goddess who said no. The first woman, made equal to Adam, who refused to submit and was cast out for claiming her sovereignty. In this episode, Casey reclaims Lilith's story from the demonization and explores what she actually teaches: autonomous sexuality, sacred refusal, primal rage, and the power of saying no without apology. You'll discover: The real myth: Lilith as Adam's equal who chose exile over subordinationLilith ...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 5 Persephone: The Death of the Maiden Welcome to the goddess episodes. We begin with Persephone—the maiden who descends to the underworld and becomes Queen of the Dead. In this episode, Casey reclaims Persephone's myth from the patriarchal telling of innocent victim to the initiatory reading of sovereign queen. You'll discover why the descent wasn't an abduction but an initiation, what dies when the maiden goes down, and what it means to become queen of your own ...
Send a text Season 1, Ep 1: Who This Podcast Is For (And Who It's Not) Welcome to Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven. This is where we begin. In this episode, Casey introduces herself—not as someone who's arrived, but as a priestess teaching from the threshold she's walking. With a Master's Degree in Body Psychotherapy and Jungian training, she bridges depth psychology with lived goddess wisdom. You'll learn: Why this podcast exists (and why Casey isn't on social media)What initiation a...
Send a text Season 1, Ep 2: What Initiation Actually Means Initiation isn't a metaphor. It's the death of who you were and the birth of who you're becoming—and there's a terrifying void in between. In this episode, Casey explores what initiation actually is: not the sanitized self-help version, but the real thing that breaks you open and changes you forever. You'll learn why initiations choose you (not the other way around), why death and rebirth are literal experiences, and why comfort was n...
Send a text Season 1, Episode 3: The Body Knows What the Mind Forgot You can't think your way through initiation. Descent work that stays in your head isn't actually descent at all. In this episode, Casey explores why the body is essential for transformation—and why years of intellectual understanding can leave you completely stuck. Drawing on her MA in Body Psychotherapy, she explains how trauma, grief, and rage live in your tissues, not just your thoughts, and why the goddesses work through...
