Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven | Somatic Psychology, Jungian Goddess Archetypes, and Spiritual Education
Priestess Initiations: The Goddess Coven explores goddess archetypes, spiritual growth, shadow work, and somatic psychology 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 with divine feminine goddess wisdom. Whether you’re exploring astrology through archetypes, Human Design, 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.

#2 What Initiation Actually Means | Death, Rebirth & Transformation
Season 1, Ep 2: What Initiation Actually Means
Initiation isn't a metaphor. It's the death of who you were and the birth of who you're becoming—and there's a terrifying void in between.
In this episode, Casey explores what initiation actually is: not the sanitized self-help version, but the real thing that breaks you open and changes you forever. You'll learn why initiations choose you (not the other way around), why death and rebirth are literal experiences, and why comfort was never the goal.
You'll discover:
- How to recognize if you're in an initiation right now
- Why the liminal space—the underworld, the void—is where transformation actually happens
- The difference between "hard times" and true initiations
- Why initiation is a spiral, not a linear path you complete
- How Casey teaches from the threshold she's walking (maiden-to-mother)
If something in your life feels like it's falling apart, you might be exactly where you need to be. This episode will help you trust the descent.
Reflection practice included.
