Ep 56 - Goddess Mythology for Modern Women: Witches, Power & Dragon Slayers with Jasmine Elmer

This week I’m joined by the amazing mythologist and author Jasmine Elmer—the voice behind the book Goddess with a Thousand Faces—for a grounded, feminist tour through goddess mythology, witchcraft, and the art of re-enchantment in everyday life. We talk about finding belonging through myth and folklore, why goddesses are multifaceted, and how stories like Persephone’s descent and the night-queen Nyx can help modern women navigate grief, creativity, identity and seasonal cycles.Jasmine shares her global lens on myth (hello Sedna from the Inuit culture and Rangda of Bali), why diverse retellings matter, and a teaser for her new book all about female dragon slayers—plus the upcoming witchy podcast Witch Please. If you’ve ever wondered how to start working with goddess energy—or you’re craving a deeper, more inclusive take on how mythology is a key tool of empowerment for modern women—this episode is for you.Find Jasmine Website - www.jasmineelmer.co.ukInstagram - www.instagram.com/jas_elmer/Grab the Book, Goddess with a Thousand Faces 🌿 Buy my debut book Through the Hedge: Tales from Mossvale here on amazon  ✨ If this resonates with you, Small Enchantments is where it lives in full.
