The Goddess School

What if your longing, your desire, and even your pleasure were not distractions from the divine but the very doorway to it?Lisa explores the Lover archetype as a devotional path, inviting you to experience spirituality not as discipline or performance, but as embodied romance with the Divine. Drawing on bhakti yoga, the devotion of Radha and Krishna, the mysticism of Teresa of Ávila, and even ancient erotic sacred texts, she reveals how Eros has always been a gateway to awakening. Beauty, longing, and sensual presence are reframed as portals rather than indulgences.This is a reclamation of sacred desire and an invitation to become a lover of the Divine in your everyday life. When devotion becomes embodied, spirituality becomes alive, luminous, and deeply personal.Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you’ll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

What if the wisdom you have been taught to fear is actually the key to your sovereignty?In this powerful conversation, Lisa Marie Rankin sits down with Jungian analyst and author Muriel McMahon to explore the living archetype of Baba Yaga and what she represents for women in midlife and beyond. Together, they unpack the crone archetype, feminine authority, sovereignty, shadow work, and the courageous journey toward soul fire. Muriel challenges common narratives about patriarchy, feminism, and spiritual empowerment while offering a deeper Jungian lens on archetypes as energetic forces rather than costumes we put on.This dialogue invites women to reclaim their wisdom without apology, to honor the sacred tasks of everyday life, and to recognize that true authority comes from within. If you feel the old woman knocking, this conversation will help you understand why and what she is asking of you.Connect with Muriel McMahon:https://www.morbidanatomy.org/https://www.jungarchademy.com/Baba Yaga’s Wisdom: A Jungian Spiritual Memoir - https://a.co/d/08844RDXToward a Sacred End: Jungian Individuation and the Liturgical Cycle - https://a.co/d/09kDnNVrConnect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you’ll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

What if desire was not something to suppress, but a sacred force guiding you back to yourself?This exploration of the lover archetype reveals beauty, pleasure, and sensuality as gateways to spiritual awakening rather than indulgences to outgrow. Through myth, psychology, and goddess wisdom, the lover emerges as a vital life force that fuels creativity, devotion, and embodied presence. Aphrodite, Eros, and Psyche illuminate how longing can initiate transformation, deepen intimacy with life, and reconnect women to their vitality.When the lover is honored, life regains its shimmer and meaning. Desire becomes devotion, beauty becomes prayer, and embodiment becomes a sacred act of remembrance.Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you’ll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.Substack: This Enchanted LifeBook: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

What if reality is more malleable than we have been taught, and your consciousness is the key to freedom?This conversation explores the nature of reality as a dreamlike construct, how consciousness can be influenced through fear, trauma, and constant stimulation, and why imagination is one of the most powerful tools we have for reclaiming personal agency. Together, we unpack concepts like the matrix, mind parasites, loosh energy, and the impact of the modern news cycle on the nervous system, while pointing toward practical ways to protect your consciousness and disengage from energetic manipulation.By shifting attention inward, cultivating silence, and restoring imagination, a new relationship with reality becomes possible, one rooted in creativity, sovereignty, and conscious choice. This dialogue invites a return to inner authority and a remembrance of what it means to live unbroken in a world designed to fragment attention.Connect with Sol:https://substack.com/@solluckmanConnect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you’ll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.Substack: This Enchanted LifeBook: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

Reconnecting with the natural cycles of the earth restores a deeper sense of balance, belonging, and feminine power that modern life has stripped away.This conversation explores earth-based spirituality, ancestral reconnection, and intuitive magic through the lens of the Wheel of the Year and the sacred Sabbat of Imbolc. Themes of cyclical living, honoring seasonal rhythms, and reclaiming feminine wisdom are woven together with reflections on the shadow side of self-help culture, spiritual bypassing, and how women have been conditioned to see themselves as perpetually unfinished. The discussion also unpacks the crone archetype, the myths surrounding shadow work, and what it truly means to withdraw consent from patriarchal systems without force or fear.By grounding spiritual practice in nature, intuition, and ancestral memory, this dialogue invites a return to authenticity, sovereignty, and embodied wisdom that cannot be packaged, fixed, or sold. The path forward is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you have always been.Connect with Ayana Madrone: https://linktr.ee/ayanamadroneConnect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you’ll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.In person retreat: https://programs.lisamarierankin.com/romantasySubstack: This Enchanted LifeBook: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.
