The Wild Goddess
There is a gap in the hawthorn hedge, just wide enough for someone who knows how to look properly!
On the other side is Mossvale, an enchanted world where fairy folk move through ancient woodland at dusk and the wheel of the year is marked with fire, blossom and long tables pulled into the square.
The Wild Goddess Podcast is a folklore and re-enchantment podcast, part storytelling, part wisdom teachings, part quiet ritual. Each episode brings you original fairylore, seasonal folklore, my own written stories, nature poetry, guided meditations, and honest teachings on what it actually means to re-enchant your life in the modern world.
This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt the pull of an old forest. Who leaves offerings for things they can't see. Who marks the turning of the year. Who has always suspected the world is far more enchanted than it lets on.
Come find the gap in the hedge.
Welcome to Mossvale.

Ep 65 - 2025 Reflections: When Life Took a Wilder Path Than I Planned
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
2025 didn’t turn out how I planned it.
Not in my work, not in my life. not in my heart.
In this episode, I’m reflecting on a year shaped by grief, intuition, and a quieter kind of courage. A year where I didn’t plan to be making candles, didn’t expect to be pouring so much of myself into The Enchantment membership… and didn’t know how deeply losing my Grandad would change me.
I share honestly about grief and how it reshapes us, the unexpected wisdom I’ve learned from my Nan, and why trusting your intuition, even when it takes you wildly off-plan, can be the most life-giving thing you ever do.
This is an episode about finding magic again when life cracks you open.
About enchantment not as escapism, but as survival.
And about learning to trust the quieter voice that knows where you’re meant to go next.
If your year didn’t look like you thought it would… this one’s for you.
