Episode 157: Prophetic Girl Summer

In episode 157 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew bid farewell to season five and welcome in Prophetic Girl Summer. In this conversation, they revisit the stories of priestesses, nymphs, and clairvoyant baddies who have historically said, “I told you so.” They meet Helice and Cassandra, contemplate yearning as a spell, and consider the influence of internet aphorisms in a modern world.Sources & Shoutouts:Five Goddesses for the Summer Solstice - Tamed Wild blogThe Moon in Carolina Podcast, Episode 42: Word Witchery with Kate BelewEros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson Pensées, Blaise Pascal, Brave New World, Aldous HuxleyEpisode 151: Alien BeingsArtemis: Virgin Goddess of the Sun, Moon, and the Hunt, Sorita d’EsteThe Myth of Clytie & Apollo - Tamed Wild blogThe Secrets of the Tarot, Barbara WalkerThe Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths & Secrets, Barbara WalkerOreads – The Enchanting Nymphs of the MountainsThe Crossroads: Sacred Stories & the Dark MoonThe Oresteia trilogyEuripides’ The Trojan WomanCassandra, Florence and the Machine Cassandra, Taylor SwiftThe Poetics of Reverie: the Cassandra Complex, Gaston BachelardThe Myth of Cassandra - GreekMyths.comJoin Tenth House Rising!
