Inkling: My Isis Priestess Initiation Anniversary Portal

Magical Synchronicities | The Archetypes of Isis and Mary Magdelene

A single “happy anniversary” text cracked open a memory I didn’t realize I’d tucked away, and it sent me straight to my calendar. April is the month of my Isis priestess initiation, and it’s also the month I fell 75 feet in a rappelling accident (Season 1, Ep.11). When I saw the exact date again, I caught a small detail I’d missed that gave me chills.

I’m recording this one outside on my phone, so you’ll hear the birds while I tell you why that timing now feels like more than a coincidence. A near-death experience can reshape your life in obvious ways, but sometimes the deeper shift shows up later as identity. Over the last year, I’ve chosen a different path, claimed the word priestess publicly, and started building new foundations with that forward-driving Aries energy. This “inkling” is me naming the moment it all snapped into a bigger story of death, rebirth, and alignment. 

That story also runs through lineage and the divine feminine. I grew up Irish Catholic, and I never received Mary Magdalene as a full spiritual figure, yet I’ve come to feel her as part of an Isis priestess lineage and a key to reclaiming what got erased. If you’ve ever wondered what changes when you stop dismissing synchronicities and start listening to them, this short transmission is for you. 

If it resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find Priestess Initiations. What’s the last synchronicity you noticed that you’re ready to say out loud?

Please note: I am not claiming to be a historian on Mary Magdelene and am speaking from what feels true and resonates with me personally and spiritually.

Hello, and welcome to Priestess Initiations, the Goddess Coven podcast. I'm Casey, and this is our first inkling episode. Immediately you might notice a slightly different audio quality. That's because this one I'm recording outside on my phone. These inklings are bonus episodes, and you'll still get your full season episodes every Wednesday. But every once in a while I might drop one of these and I'm calling them inklings. But today, today there was a synchronicity that happened that I just had to tell you about. And a lot of you know, I've I've said it in a few recent episodes, that I'm going to be um co-facilitating and guest teaching at a goddess retreat. And it's actually ISIS themed, so it's an ISIS goddess immersion in early May. And I'll I'll put those details in the episode bio, of course. Um, but the woman I'm doing that with, um, she had texted me today and she said happy anniversary in her text. And I was like, Anniversary, what anniversary? And I don't know 100% if this is what she met or not, but it's April. And April is the month of my Isis Priestess initiation. It is the month that I fell 75 feet in a repelling accident, and that is coming up on a year. So the exact date of that is April 21st. So it was April 21st, 2025 that I fell. And um that full episode, that whole story is episode 11. No, it's episode 10, I believe. 10 or 11 of this um podcast. And it's potent and it's alive. And it's it's interesting that I haven't thought about it as much. I've been really focused on what I'm building next, right? All this Aries energy. Where am I going? What foundations do I want to build for myself? What do I want to dream? And that's very potent astrology happening right now, today, and tomorrow. So I really encourage you to lead into that if you're not. Um and so the fall had essentially slipped my mind. But when she sent this text, I looked back on my calendar and I saw, oh yeah, like that fall was almost a year ago. And on my calendar, um, it had marked that it was Easter, it was Easter Monday. And at the time I had never, I don't even remember thinking about that or knowing that or realizing that. Um, because when when you go through something like that, the tragedy takes over your life temporarily. But looking back, I realized, oh my goodness, my ISIS initiation, my ISIS priestess initiation of old and a near-death experience was on Easter Monday. And that's so cool. Um, because at the time, you know, I didn't really, I hadn't worked with Mary Magdalene a lot at the time. I've worked with her more now, but I knew that she was in the Isis Priestess lineage. And there's an episode on her that I did where I tell a little bit of her story. But at some point, you know, last summer I had started listening to Mary Magdalene Revealed, which is a great audiobook. I highly recommend it. And um I resonated. I resonated and I was reclaiming this piece of my ancestry, which is what your full episode is about this Wednesday. And Mary Magdalene gets a little nod in there, um, too. So these pieces have been falling into place for me. And unexpectedly, this just arose today when I've been thinking about wow, wouldn't it be fun to occasionally just kind of give you some really like beyond spontaneous, some very spur of the moment. This happened today, and it was a cool synchronicity episode. And so I'm calling them inklings. And this is just an inkling. Um and it feels like a transmission, like a transmission from the goddess Isis herself that I'm in alignment, right? This reminder of hey, like you did this thing a year ago, you fell 75 feet, and now your life is different. You've chosen a different path for yourself. You've claimed the word pe priestess for yourself. I'm calling myself a priestess, and publicly, um, I wouldn't have thought that I would be doing that a year ago. And yes, last year was year of the snake. So we we shed a lot collectively and in ourselves, and my chart's full of Scorpio energy, so I'm always, I feel like I'm always in year of the snake, honestly. Um but that allowed me to come into a new version of myself, and that version feels like it's solidifying right now, solidifying enough that I'm starting to dream of what do I actually want? What do I want in life? And those answers are developing. But part of that dream is recognizing where we came from. What is our lineage? And I grew up Irish Catholic. I was confirmed in the Catholic Church. I'll talk about that a little bit on Wednesday's episode, briefly, but just touching on that. Um, it's on Celtic lineage. And Mary Magdalene wasn't someone I ever really remember being mentioned, maybe off-handedly a few times, and that would have definitely been as prostitute. I definitely never heard of her as the 13th disciple, even though the popes declared that. Um, and I definitely never I never thought of her as a priestess of Isis, as a priestess, as this sacred counterpart of divine feminine when I was a kid. And what a shame, because I wonder if I had if that theology would have resonated with me more, right? If the feminine wasn't erased, what would what would that religion look like? I have no idea, but but it was a race, so we we can only guess. And it's felt like finding Mary Magdalene is reclaiming a part of my ancestry that feels true to who I am in this Isis priestess lineage. Like there's finally this moment of connection. So it was just so cool to look on my calendar and be like, oh my gosh, I fell on Easter Monday. And Easter is not historically the actual day of the resurrection, but it's the day we celebrate it. It's the day we celebrate um Christ's resurrection. And to me, my belief is Mary Magdalene's role in that. So this year, because I'm more connected to Mary Magdalene, I did actually feel a deeper connection to Easter, which has passed. So it's interesting because I'm kind of in this anniversary portal, right? Last year, the fall was on Easter, and that was on the or Easter Monday, and it was on the 21st of April. And now I'm between Easter and the 21st of April. So I'm kind of in this extended anniversary portal, it feels like. And it just felt like one of those synchronicities that I wanted to share that I didn't want to keep to myself. I think sometimes cool things happen in our lives and we get skeptical as to how that's going to be received by others. And so I want to share with you to encourage you to share when cool synchronicities come up in your life. Um, you're welcome to share in the comments section. I genuinely would love to hear it. And you're also welcome to just share with a friend, right? I really encourage you to talk to a friend and you know say, hey, I heard this thing, and I'm just working a little harder on naming when cool things happen in my life, when synchronicities line up. Um I think that's it for today. But I look forward to sharing more with you on Wednesday about my ancestry. It's definitely a vulnerable episode. We go a little deep. And to your thoughts on what you think of this just really raw inkling. There's gonna be no intro, no outro, because I'm just recording on my phone. And you might hear the birds in the background. Um yeah. And so I guess I'll just conclude with trust to the spiral.
