The Divine Feminist

We live in a world which sees us constantly bombarded by information. And let's never forget the brilliance of that; the opportunities it provides for us to learn, particularly for and from those who may once have been excluded from mainstream sources of education or training.  But there are downsides too: the ways in which that barrage of information can drown out that inner voice, the infor...

Following our recent discussion on the much-talked-about inner between love and fear, The Divine Feminist asks you to consider what happens when we transcend that binary and honour the full spectrum of both our love and our fear - as well as everything that lies between. The result? We reach a place of expansion. Empowered expansion which is fully aligned with our hearts and Souls. Of course the p...

Love and Fear.  We're often told that this is the binary through which we choose to live our lives. Follow the path of fear and you'll find yourself in a place of joy, comfort and beauty. But allow the voice of fear to guide you and you will only ever star stuck, restricted and frustrated.  But what if the flow between these two voices within us - and all those that lie between - is much...

As we continue our deep dive into the topics covered in The Divine Feminist book, Ceryn invites you to consider the ideas of sacred balance and synergy, and how these affect your own life and the wider world. Together we talk about the power of breaking out of the dualistic boxes that have, for so long, been imposed upon us and about the power that can be found in embracing wholeness - not only fo...

As we head into this time of year that is often busy and stressful for so many of us, this Divine Feminist mini-episode invites you to connect back into yourself and remember what is truly important to you.  Sharing more about Yule and the energies that underpin this time of year, Ceryn invites you to take a short break from the outside world and instead join her on a journey back to ourselves. Ep...

When it comes to the dualities we've been told to recognise in our world, none are more vibrant - or at times more visible - than that of the Sun and the Moon. Which is why when practicing witch Ceryn was asked to put labels to the two energies being described in The Divine Feminist, they seemed like the perfect words to use.  But what if that separation too was nothing more than an oversimpl...

Our world is out of balance. So far out of balance that we've almost forgotten there was ever an alternative. If you're a regular listener of The Divine Feminist then that's a line you know already, and one you've undoubtedly heard me say before. But as we step into a new chapter of this podcast, and The Divine Feminist story, let's recap on where we've been, and the...

Having talked at length about the deaths that we experience as we move through life, and spent time sitting in the limbo that represents the place between, it's time that we turned our attention to what lies beyond that limbo: To the place of re-birth.    We talk a lot about the pain of birth, and just as much about the joy that comes afterwards. But rarely do we stop to consider the whole sp...

Limbo. It's something so few of us humans are comfortable with, yet something we experience regularly in ways both big and small. But as we move through our own period of limbo - outwardly in the world, energetically as the veils thin, and here on the Divine Feminist too - it's something we are increasingly asked to get familiar with. Join Ceryn to delve into the subject of limbo, and ho...

Death is both the greatest taboo and one of the most common fears within our human lives and societies. Yet it is also one of the greatest certainties any of us ever face. But to ignore or fear death is to do ourselves a disservice because it is to run not only from the end of our physical lives, but also from the transitions that mark so many of the chapters within those lives. So what if we were...

We've talked a lot over recent weeks about the outside factors we must overcome as we take that journey from restriction to liberation. But what about the inside factors that keep us feeling small and stuck? In this week's episode of the Divine Feminist, Ceryn invites into the idea of pattern breaking. Combining her experience as a therapist together with insights gained over 15 years of...

It's so easy to think that this journey from restriction to expansion is a simple, linear path. But in reality that's rarely the case. We have all experienced our fair share of frustrations, disappointments and unexpected outcomes along the way, and will undoubtedly experience more on the road ahead of us. But so often, finding ourselves in those places will either see us curled up in a...

Having broken free of our restrictions and moved into a place of our own expansion, this week's episode of the Divine Feminist asks us all to consider what comes next?  Or, more specifically, what could come next?    After all, when it comes to expanding our lives further and further, one thing that is often likely to rear its head for us is the simple question, "what if?"    And al...

What would it mean to take up proudly and unapologetically space? That's something we're so often deterred from; from the childhood conditioning that tells us to stay quiet; to the societal rules that remind us to look, think and behave a certain way and convince us that we should simply be grateful for the space we are offered. It can lead us to believe that asking for more is ungraciou...

Fresh from our deep dive into the subject of restriction, The Divine Feminist moves to focus on where we find ourselves outside of those walls, and invites you to consider what the idea of expansion means to you. After years, generations and lifetimes of being told to stay small, that concept can feel challenging at best and completely alien at worst, but is something that is so important to consi...

Continuing the theme of restriction from our last episode , Ceryn invites you to consider what it takes to break through (/ fly over/ escape from) those walls that have for so long been placed around us... Not to consider what we may find when we do. The decision to step outside of the known and carve a path of our own can be a terrifying one, even more so when we consider the persecution that so...

What if the world was always meant to be more than we've been told? More than that, what if each and every one of us was always able to be more than we've been told? Our societies are often all-too-keen to give us the blueprint of how we could be, of what is possible for us if only we buy and achieve the "right" things, act and look the "right" way and follow the well...

In this first episode of Cancer season, we reflect upon one of the qualities of water, specifically its ability to show our reflection in its fullness. Within this episode, Ceryn invites you to reflect upon yourself, considering who you are and how you are in the world. Together we will then sort through the stories, burdens and beliefs we may carry within and about ourselves in order to see ourse...

As we venture into  Gemini season, it is time to talk about all things air. And with Ceryn having finally completed the manuscript of the Divine Feminist book, it seems the perfect time to talk about the subject of using your voices.  No, this isn't a "how to write a book" episode, nor is it a "you should start a podcast and here is how", but instead is an invitation for y...

As we continue to move through the Earth energies of Taurus season Ceryn jumps straight into this week's episode and invites you to come back to nature by getting Earthed and connecting with the planet. Take a deep dive on the subject of why and how our connection to Earth and the building blocks of nature is so important - and so perfectly natural - to all of us. In a slightly shorter episod...

As we move into the Earth energies of Taurus season, Ceryn invites you to journey with her around the idea of beauty. That word in itself may trigger something in you around a concept that has for so long been weaponised against us and used to play us off against one another. And certainly to even talk about the idea of beauty we have to dive into that concept of physical attractiveness which has...

As we continue our Aries season journey with the qualities and concepts associated with fire, Ceryn invites you to consider the power of your own creativity. So often we're told that creativity is a label which references only a limited number of activities, all associated with beauty and art, all of which are considered a "waste of time" unless we are "good" at or able to...

As we navigate our way through Aries season, when better to connect with the elemental energy of fire and with one of the emotions most closely associated with fire: Rage. Rage is and can be a powerful force, and maybe that's why our world is so keen to keep it under wraps, encouraging us to feel scared or ashamed of our own anger. Yet journeying through that fear and shame to understand and...

Trigger warning: The introduction to today's episode contains mention of recent news around Meghan Markle and Sarah Everard, including a content trigger warning for racism, suicide and violence against women. Fresh from a journey into the idea of choice and expectation, Ceryn invites us to dive into a discussion of our our legacies within this life. From the  passions and overall purposes tha...

TRIGGER WARNING: Within this episode is a brief mention of abortion, which is spoken about for approximately two minutes at around the 36 minute mark. The world we live in likes to set us very clear expectations. Wherever we are and whatever roles we do or don't take on, you can guarantee we'll be given - subtly or otherwise - a checklist of what it means to "succeed". Yet the...
