I am delighted to speak to Dr Karen Ward for a second time on the podcast! This time our conversation focussed on Celtic goddess archetypes. We explore what ‘archetype’ means to Karen and stories of Irish goddesses are woven into the episode. We also talk about the importance of rights of passage and specifically how vital is to celebrate and educate girls on their first moon time. We discuss sacred sites, why archetypes continue to be relevant and the power that stories hold when they speak to us. I hope you enjoy today's episode and share with us our love of Celtic archetypes.
