Ep 51 - The Art of Noticing: How Folklore and Goddess Myth Teach Us to Pay Attention

Kayleigh Priest Season 3 Episode 51

In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, we step into the liminal — the hedgerows, crossroads, and dusky thresholds where folklore tells us the veil is thin. Noticing is more than mindfulness; it is resistance, remembrance, and a way of walking awake in a distracted world.

I’ll share the wisdom of crow as messenger and guide, explore how goddesses like Hecate, Artemis, and Demeter teach us to notice differently, and show how the seasons themselves invite us into shifting ways of attention. Together, we’ll unravel why noticing matters now — how it enriches our lives, steadies us in thresholds, and reconnects us to enchantment in the everyday.

✨ Inside this episode:

  • The folklore of thresholds & why they were seen as places of magic and danger
  • Noticing as rebellion in a culture of distraction
  • Goddess wisdom — Hecate, Artemis, Demeter, and the crow as guides of attention
  • The seasons of noticing and how they shift with the Wheel of the Year
  • Why noticing thresholds transforms how we meet life’s endings, voids, and rebirths
