Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven
Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven | Somatic Psychology, Jungian Archetypal Philosophy, and Spiritual Education explores goddess archetypes, somatic psychology and cyclical living 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 and shadow integration with divine feminine goddess wisdom.
In Season Two, we descend into the philosophical root system of the soul—leaning into Celtic goddess archetypes, the medicine of herbalism, and the reclamation of our lineage through intergenerational healing and earth-based holistic healing including cyclical living for hormonal support.
Whether you’re exploring astrology through archetypes, Human Design, folk witchcraft, 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.

Season 1, Episode 11: The Fall—An Initiation of Old, Philosophy of Near Death Experiences
Seven months ago, I fell 75 feet while rappelling. My equipment failed leading to a near death experience. 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 with changed views on the philosophy of life and death.
This is the story of a modern initiation. The complete death of the maiden and the painful birth of the mother.
Content warning: This episode contains detailed descriptions of a traumatic accident, medical procedures, and physical injury. Please care for yourself while listening.
What we cover:
- The two weeks before the fall: claiming priestess, meeting Kali, knowing something was coming
- What happened during the 75-foot fall and why I chose to hold on
- The physics-defying miracle of how we both survived
- Isis's reassembly magic through 22 skin grafts and faster-than-expected healing
- Lilith learning vulnerability: being fed, cared for, held by community
- Kali's death gift: destroying the maiden who thought she was invincible
- The psychology of identity death, earned secure attachment, and post-traumatic growth
- Where I am now, seven months later, still integrating
This episode is raw, vulnerable, and real. If you're in your own initiation—in the death, in the shattering—you will survive this. You will reassemble. You don't have to do it alone.
