Season 2, Episode 7: Working with Deities

Today we bring you Season 2, Episode 7 of The Witchy Shift during which Heatherleigh and Madeleine dig into the massive (and sometimes intimidating) world of working with deities. 

We explore topics such as:

-Our personal favorite deities/gods/goddesses and what we love about them

-The question of cultural appreciation vs appropriation when exploring deities from cultures other than our own

-Considering the shadow side and complexities of deities

-AI depictions of Gods and Goddesses

-Our recommendations for dipping your toes into working with a deity, god, or goddess

..and much more!

If you’ve been curious about deity work and want to hear our take, tune in and give it a listen!

This is a hugely complex topic which we plan to explore further in a future episode. Send you thoughts and questions to thewitchyshift@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to tackle them in part 2 of this topic.
