The Living Goddess Podcast

Beautiful Soul,It is with the greatest joy that we are sharing this new episode with you today… The Black Madonna.Possibly the most enigmatic Goddess to have arrived from the Great Mystery, the Black Madonna’s origin and meaning is largely unknown.But we think that’s how She wants it.Is she a portal to the Great Mother? Is she one of the Mary’s in disguise? Did she come from the Egyptian pantheon? Does any of it matter?In this episode, we share with you…🖤 The mysterious, primordial, womb-centred pulse of the Black Madonna🖤 How Coral first met Her on a life-changing road trip🖤 Coral’s trip to Montserrat to hold Her hand and listen to her truth🖤 Kris’ journey with Her energy and messages of profound support and knowing🖤 Her connection with the moon cycle🖤 How she represents autonomy, sovereignty, and liberation🖤 Her capacity to embrace you in the vast unknownWe’re so grateful to have this opportunity on this podcast to share so many Goddesses, with their medicine and symbols, flowers and lovers, heroic journeys and origin stories. And while the Black Madonna can easily be overlooked, we knew that it was important to share Her with you, not just because of our personal connection, but because these times are calling for Her medicine… the deepest feminine mystery, the inexplicable unknown, and Her unapologetically sovereign presence.Enjoy this conversation, and more importantly, enjoy meeting with Her in your heart, at your altar, and throughout your life.Much love,🖤 Kris & Coral🪶 Read: Black Madonna as understood by Mariana Louis on Persephone’s Sister This is a public episode.

Hello Sweet Soul,Egypt holds a fascinating array of Gods and Goddesses that are as much a part of the mythology of the place as they are a part of the history books.Were they real? I’m not sure it matters as much as the real impact and imprint that Egyptian royalty, star beings, scholars, healer, priests, priestesses, and architects have had on the whole world.In this episode we wanted to share Sekhment with you, the half-lion, half-woman goddess with you. But we also felt the need to share two other important aspects that don’t always come with her story… the first is that we have a wildly different understanding of her than the usual blurbs online will tell you (Coral explains this beautifully), and the second is that her story isn’t complete without Hathor, the cow-headed goddess.We also share…🦁 Coral’s story of meeting Sekhment long before any other Goddess came on the scene in her life🐮 Who really was Sekhment… or who could she be without the destructive dogma?🦁 Kris’ decoding of Hathor and what she brought to the scene in Ancient Egypt🐮 Hathor’s temples, priestesses, and her pivotal role long before Isis 🦁 How they work together as sisters or two faces of the same Goddess🐮 How to work with these incredible forces in your life when you face transitions, change, death, rebirth, growth, and awakening🦁 The importance of rewriting your own narrative, unthreading the patriarchal elements and rethreading what breathes from the heart🐮 Calling in these big energies for big conversations, moments of profound heaviness, and feeling held through the hardest times🦁 The rebalancing that is happening on earth, how to trust in it and lean on these ancient ones for supportEnjoy the codes and the vibes of this conversation. Just in time for a Leo eclipse season!Take care and sending much love,♥️ Kris & Coral This is a public episode.

Hello beloved,If it was Mary Magdalene that brought Coral and I together (in this and other lives), then it’s Mary who inspired this podcast to begin with. Coral and I both had religious childhoods with a sneaking suspicion that what we were told about Mary wasn’t all true. Over the years we’ve read countless books, listened to other inspired conversations, channeled her wisdom, and in Coral’s unique case, experienced a life-changing encounter with the energy of Mary herself, all of which have told us so much more about this woman who, we firmly believe, was Jesus’ wife.In this longed-for episode we finally got to talk about:🌹 Mary’s life as a priestess and teacher from a broader perspective🌹 Mary’s stunning visitation to Coral and the healing light that poured into her life🌹 The symbol of the rose - and a sweet story from Kris on Mary’s gift of red roses🌹 Mary’s medicine as a goddess of devotion, ritual, and femininity🌹 Why the Goddess in any form won’t fix our lives🌹 The importance of wholeness in our personal lives and as a whole🌹 Mary’s life after Jesus/Yeshua - and the story of the red egg🌹 The energy of July and how to charter your course through it🌹 Her Feast Day on July 22nd🌹 A prayer of thanks for Mary’s life and lineageWe are honoured, excited, humbled and so grateful to be able to share our love of Mary and our Magdalene-inspired friendship with you in this episode.Sending love & roses,♥️ Kris Notes:Mary Magdalene Revealed by Meggan WattersonThe Magdalen Manuscript by Tom Kenyon This is a public episode.

Wild One,In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the primordial, primal darkness of Goddess Kali. Known for her wild appearance and unapologetic force, Kali is feared and revered in equal measure.We wanted to dive into that… why is she so feared? And if she’s that scary, why is she so intensely revered?This conversation was an organic one that spoke less about her creator story and more about her unconditional, protective, wild love; her symbolism and sacred presence; destruction and fertility; and her messages about fear and authenticity.We spoke about…♥️ Who is Kali Ma and where does she come from?♥️ What she offers her devotees with her presence♥️ How she tends to (devours!) our fears and insecurities♥️ Her passion for authenticity and truth no matter what♥️ The symbols she wears and how they relate to language, sound, mantra, the sub/un/conscious minds, and ego♥️ Her conversation with Coral about returning to our instinctive, primal roots in order to trust ourselves and each other so we can collaborate together♥️ The difference between compliance and collaboration♥️ The symbolism of the poking tongue and how that has landed deeply for us both♥️ The energy of June and how Kali can assist us with the transformation in our livesCoral shares this poem ‘In the Desert’ by Stephen Crane:In the desertI saw a creature, naked, bestial,Who, squatting upon the ground,Held his heart in his hands,And ate of it.I said, “Is it good, friend?”“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;“But I like it“Because it is bitter,“And because it is my heart.”Also mentioned in the show: Autobiography of a Yogi & Elena’s modern confessional: The Freedom Room.We hope you enjoy the conversation! Thank you for being a part of our monthly devotion to the Goddess.So much love,♥️ Kris & Coral This is a public episode.

Sweet Soul,This week Coral and Kris shared a unique conversation about Mother Mary.Not about the Mary of religions, and not Mary from anyone else’s ‘spiritual’ perspective, just the presence of Mother Mary that we have both come to know that lives and breathes as earth’s own Guardian Angel.

One of the most graceful and miracle-launching goddesses that you could ever meet… and she’s so very accessible to all.We hope you enjoy this conversation and connection, and we want to encourage you to reach out to Mother Mary anytime you’re needing healing, nurturing, protection, and a miracle.Sending love,♥️ Kris & CoralNotes:Patricia Cota-Robles https://eraofpeace.org/Anna, Grandmother of Jesus by Claire HeartsongThe Way of the Rose by Clark Strand & Perdita Finn This is a public episode.

Radiant One,We are honoured to share this story with you. Almost completely unknown outside of Alaska and Canada, Sedna’s story will move you into the depths of love, beauty, tragedy, healing, and community.Sedna begins her life with ease. This princess, daughter of a king, grows up to be remarkably beautiful, but has a hard time following traditions when looking for a suitable husband. One day, after many suitors have been dismissed, a man comes along, overflowing with adoration and empty promises. She falls for the manipulation and he takes her away to live on an island where the truth of who he is becomes apparent. Not only is she betrayed by this ‘man’, but also by her father during a rescue.Sedna’s story doesn’t have a happy ending. There is no resurrection here, only the dark womb of the ocean and the deep wounding of broken trust. As Coral says of Sedna and how she reflects aspects of life’s difficult times, “Some wounds don’t close; they become portals of creation.” In this episode we share:🧜🏽‍♀️ Why some powerful journeys in life, like Sedna’s, don’t have a ‘happy’ ending🧜🏽‍♀️ The symbolic story of Sedna falling to her depths & learning to breathe🧜🏽‍♀️ How we often need to create our own integration, rather than finding closure🧜🏽‍♀️ How Kris’ ancestors speak to her through this story and other related messages🧜🏽‍♀️ Being conscious of old traditions and lineages, and making a heartfelt choice🧜🏽‍♀️ Ways that the Inuits still connect with Sedna in their rituals🧜🏽‍♀️ How Sedna calls us to live with a pure heart and high integrity🧜🏽‍♀️ The power of ‘becoming’ who we are meant to be through tragedy 🧜🏽‍♀️ An invitation for navigating the energy of AprilWe hope you enjoy this episode and hopefully you can feel the story of Sedna moving you, opening your heart, soothing you from the inside out. She’s a powerful Goddess who is alive in so many traditions to this day, and we know from experience that she is communicating with us, too.Thank you for being here.Sending love,♥️ Kris & Coral This is a public episode.

Hello friends,Episode five was recorded two days ago on Brigid’s Feast Day, which is also Imbolc in the northern hemisphere. Coral has a deep connection with Brigid - who is honestly one of the most accessible, nurturing, and warm Goddesses you could ever connect to. It was such a beautiful energy to commune with her together and learn more from Coral who has honoured the Feast Day with her family for many years.The Goddess of Poetry is also the Goddess of Mourning. And while they may seem like two very different extremes, both are deep and healing emotional expressions. Brigid’s symbols include fire and water, which we speak to in the conversation, as well as her relationship to weaving and the significance of the pagan cross symbol.Coral, who is a wildhearted artist, speaks directly to the creative spirit within all of us and shares the importance of imperfection and failure along our creative paths.We also leave you with some thoughts on February’s energy, including how to move into the Year of the Horse authentically.We hope you enjoy this episode! We loved creating it for you.Sending love & blessings,💚 Kris & Coral This is a public episode.

Join us for a conversation about Isis, the Goddess of Ancient Egypt, Queen of Heaven, Mother of God, Goddess of the Nile, Earth, Fertility and the Harvest. Isis famously ruled alongside her brother Osiris during the Golden Age of Egypt. Her rule spread well outside of Egypt for a time until Christianity took over and closed her temples.Was she real? Who were her parents? What did she teach? What was her initiation? How does she still guide Priestesses on their path?We dive into these questions with a deep reverence, explore Kris’ memories, dreams, and past-life experiences in Egypt, follow Coral’s curiosities and hear about her initial experiences, and get a little closer to the powerful presence of Goddess Isis.We hope you enjoy the conversation, but so much more than that, we hope this reminds you of influential past lives, Goddesses who love and protect you, and the innate power you hold within yourself as a human on the starlit earth path. We finish this episode with a message from Isis about her guidance for the year 2026.Much love & gratitude,❤️ Kris & CoralShow notes:Sophia Code by Kaia Ra: https://kaiara.com/Rebecca Campbell: https://www.rebeccacampbell.me/Alana Fairchild: https://www.alanafairchild.com/oracle-deck/isis-oracle/Anna Grandmother of Jesus by Claire Heartsong: https://www.hayhouse.com.au/anna-grandmother-of-jesus-paperback This is a public episode.

Join us for an enriching conversation about a Goddess who has reached into almost every family, community, and home in Mexico but is widely unknown outside of the country.Coral share stories from her life - and her Mexican lineage - as well as the intriguing story of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a visitation (on the 12/12) from The Mother of All Creation and the miraculous work of art that she left behind that contains more symbolism than you can poke a cactus at.What do the stars on her robe represent? What is the sacred geometry printed on her dress? Why is she enshrined in a full-body halo? What language did she speak and where did she always appear… and to who? What flowers physically appeared all around her?We hope you love this spiritual, religious, pagan, symbolic, curious, and loving look into one of the most fascinating apparitions of all time.Her story is so relevant now as all lightworkers call in peace from the higher realms to hold us and help us on this journey of being human during such a divisive time.Share her story, her love, her peace far and wide.Much love & gratitude,❤️ Kris & Coral This is a public episode.

In this episode, Coral and Kris share their unique and personal stories of White Buffalo Calf Woman. Thousands of years ago, while many Indigenous tribes of North America were suffering, some say they had lost their connection to the earth and each other, they had an experience with this earthly Goddess that helped them cultivate peace, live in abundance, and discover a closer relationship with nature.This story feels pertinent because we’re again at a time where there is so much division between tribes, communities, families, and within individuals. Those on the spiritual path are looking for ways to bridge differences, open hearts, and bring about the new earth with greater reverence for nature and each other. And when we turn to the wisdom of Indigenous elders, listen deeply to nature, ask for the help of the Goddess, and get lovingly curious, we find our way.You’ll hear about Coral’s invitation to experience the kind of sacred ceremony that brought her close to the White Buffalo Woman, and Kris will share how she discovered her Indigenous Canadian roots that brought her to the wisdom and purity of this Goddess. Both Coral and Kris also talk about weaving ritual and ceremony into their lives and how it felt to do so.We’ll also explore the energy of November and what you can do to embody these teachings and feel more deeply connected.The message of White Buffalo Woman is potent right now for those in search of stability and clarity, for anyone living with fear and in need of real hope, and for humble seekers craving nourishment from the Goddess.We hope you enjoy this conversation.❤️ Kris & Coral This is a public episode.
