025: Doe! A Deer a Female Deer…Antlered Goddesses & Women with Dr. Carla Ionescu
from The Girlfriend God Podcast · host The Girlfriend God | Kelly J. Applegate
Dr. Ionescu is back in the hot seat today! As sort of a follow up to the episode about horned Goddesses that she did on her podcast, The Goddess Project, today we talk about the mythology, folklore, and symbolism of antlered women and antlered Goddesses. This symbol, as well as the overarching symbol of deer themselves, is as wide and far reaching as the horned Goddesses. These are ideas woven into cultures and spiritual beliefs that cross time, geography, and millennia. Carla is a Doctor of Ancient History and Civilizations, part time professor, full time adventurer & storyteller AND one of the world’s leading experts on Artemis. She’s the Founder and CEO of The Artemis Research Centre, the author of She Who Hunts: Artemis: the Goddess Who Changed the World, and the creator of The Goddess Project Podcast.

SHOW NOTES: Web References The “Gather Victoria” website and article, ‘Doe, A Deer, A Female Reindeer: The Spirit Of Winter Solstice’ that I mentioned: gathervictoria.com The author is Danielle Prohom Olson and after further investigation of the website the “Victoria” is that of the Pacific Northwest in Canada. The YouTube video, ‘156. Deer goddess of Sovereignty in Slavic myth’ that I mentioned: youtube.com/wolfofcoins/slavic The YouTube channel is Wolf of Coins, and the artist’s name is Magdalena. Apparently Tarot, Oracle, and Lenormand cards are her thing, but she has a playlist called “Slavic pagan stuff.” The pillow I showed during this episode is, as I said, a piece of art that I had printed on fabric and then asked my wife to sew into a pillowcase for me; because she’s awesome and I can’t even sew a button on. The art, ‘Sun Goddess,’ came from the Etsy shop jurajure. etsy.com/jurajure Journal Article References Rzayeva, Saltanat. The Symbol of Deer in the Ancient and Early Medieval Cultures of Azerbaijan. Peregrinations. International Society for the Study of Pilgrimage Art. Fitzhugh, W. W. (2009). Stone Shamans and Flying Deer of Northern Mongolia: Deer Goddess of Siberia or Chimera of the Steppe?
