Eps. 80: Sacred Animals of the Divine Feminine

In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the sacred animals of the divine feminine — the serpent, the bear, and the cow — and what it means that the same three animals kept appearing alongside goddesses across cultures that had no contact with one another. From the Minoan snake goddess of Knossos to Wadjet and Asherah's serpent pillar; to Artemis and the bear-girls of Brauron, Shelby traces how these pairings encoded something true about feminine sacred power. She also follows what happened to each animal under patriarchal expansion, and how all three survived anyway. 🖤 You can find Shelby at www.shelbybundy.com 📚 Shop my Booklist: The Moon in Carolina at BookShop.org✨ Courses:Learn Myth, Astrology, Tarot, Shadow Work, and all things magickal at TenthHouseRising.com.
