Goddess OF The Week: Aeon Magdalena
Meet Our Featured Goddess Of The Week: Aeon Magdalena !
"Beinga Goddess is being able to recognize with one's self the things that are important, and then to strike the single note that brings them into alignment with everything else that exists. Then, beyond moral or logic or esthetics, one is wind or fire, the sea, the mountains, rain, the moon, the sun, or the stars, the flight of an arrow, the end of a day, the embrace of a lover. Those who look upon you then say, without even knowing your name she is fire, she is dance, she is destruction, she is love. You may not call yourself Goddess, everyone else does though, everyone who beholds you." - Author unknown

Goddess Of The Week: Rachel Smith
Name: Rachel Smith
Location: Chicago
Astrological Sign: Gemini
Occupation: I'm a visual artist (acrylic painting/ watercolor), a nature photographer, and seamstress!
Which Goddess or Goddess Archetype do you most identify with and why?
I most identify with two Goddesses: Yemaya and Oshun. Seeing how I have a deep connection to water and aquatic life, it's befitting that I would see myself in these two Goddesses. Yemaya is the mother of the ocean. She invokes these feelings of self-acceptance, unconditional love, and nurturing for all. While Oshun represents everything I am now. She is romance, healing, magick (witchcraft), and beauty. Yemaya is who I aspire to be, Oshun is my present. Although, I don't see myself gaining Yemaya's maternal instincts anytime soon, haha!
How do you get in touch with/unleash your inner goddess?
Locking myself in the bathroom and taking long hot showers. Being in water, just opens this door within me that allows for my healing to take place. I'm pretty big on rituals nowadays so lighting white or blue candles and burning incense helps set the mood for my goddess to unleash. I can sit in the water for hours, talking to myself. Yes, I totally talk to myself just like everyone else. But it's more like I am speaking with my Goddess, my guides,my oracles, my mermaids, who are essentially within me. During these times, I hear their voices as if they are my own thoughts and it brings me clarity.
What is your Goddess superpower?
That's so hard, but I'll have to go with healing. Emotional and verbal healing. I've always had this ability to say the right words during the right moments, and in turn activating this spark within the people who listen. A spark that opens up something within them that's been closed for so long. I don't think there's a word for it but being able to speak these magical words that could help others. It's all the work of my Goddesses, speaking through me I suppose!
Will You join us in the sacred twerk circle?

Goddess Of The Week: Hasnaa At-Tauhidi
Name: Hasnaa At-Tauhidi
Location: Bay Area, California.
Astrological Sign/rising: Sun and Moon Pisces, Leo Ascendent.
Occupation: Currently I hold several vocations. I work at a non-profit, cultural and wellness center. I teach workshops about specific Spirit based wellness practices. I see clients one on one as a transformational visionary guide. Basically I help people awaken to their life's purpose, their pre-birth plan, and their soul lessons. I educate people about the intersection of karma, fate, destiny, past lives, soul contracts, universal law and how energy and vibration can be used to fulfill our divine plan. I make kits that include tools for vibrational attunement. I have a lot of different mediums but I work mostly with plant and earth medicine. That's the work that im blessed to do. My own pre-birth plan was to incarnate as a way-shower, to help the planet ascend into higher frequencies at this very important time in the evolution of the planet. My focus is on channeling ancient hidden wisdom, disseminating it, making it very tangible and accessible for everyone to integrate into their daily lives. So i'm also a writer.
Which Goddess or Goddess Archetype do you most identify with and why?
I definitely have resonated with Lilith for many lifetimes. Lilith is often depicted as a demon which is typical because there are so many situations where the person who is marginalized becomes demonized when the story is told by the oppressor. The myth of Lilith is that she was the first partner of Adam prior to Eve. Adam wanted her to lay beneath him during sex and she refused. She said, why would I lie beneath you, I am your equal. After she refused to become subservient to him she left the Garden of Eden(or was banished). For me Lilith symbolizes the very nature of Free Will. How despite fate, destiny and karmic bounds we all have agency in our lives, the free will to chose. She also symbolizes our shadow, the part of ourselves that we cast away, banish or withhold love from because it is deemed "unacceptable" by someone else's standards. She has been the goddess that I have worked with the most. However recently I began to resonate much more deeply with Sophia, the goddess of wisdom who is considered to be Gods bride.
How do you get in touch with/unleash your inner goddess ?
In my practice, I channel or invoke various Goddesses depending on the type of work that I am doing. If I am working with a particular goddess for a long period of time I will create an altar in her honor. Because I have my favorites, I have specific rituals that I have found work well with certain archetypal energies. For example if i am doing shadow work I will invoke Lilith. If I am doing creative work I will call on one of the Muses. It all depends on what I am using them for.
What is your Goddess superpower?
I always jokingly say that my superpower is charm. But I actually as a born Empath my superpower is Clairsentience, feeling other peoples energy.
Will You join us in the sacred twerk circle?

Goddess of the Week - Michel’le
Name: Michel’le
Location: Atlanta, Ga
Astrological Sign/rising: Capricorn sun, Virgo Rising
Occupation: Writer/Journalist, co-founder of the Gold Effect, a campaign that highlights people and their effect on the world.
Which Goddess or Goddess Archetype do you most identify with and why?
The Goddesses I most identify with are Hathor and Bastet. I identify with Hathor the Egyptian goddess of love and happiness because love is the medicine that heals the world and I want to embody that notion. I understand the feeling of being broken and swimming in your own murky tormented waters. I want to touch people in a way where they are healed from their own internal and external destructive struggles and I want to give them the power and strength to heal others just the same. I need people to understand that we can go through darkness and still maintain our inner light and love. The second goddess I Identify with is Bastet a protectress and the goddess of pleasure and cats whom is said to be gentle and affectionate but also extremely fierce and protective. In earlier days she was known for her fierceness and as time passed her gentle nature became more pronounced and she became a mother goddess. Her docile yet aggressive nature is something that resonates strongly within me. I wouldn’t be shocked if she reincarnated herself in my body to be honest. Hathor is the goddess who I look to embody while Bastet is the goddess who resonates with who I am.
How do you get in touch with/unleash your inner goddess?
I unleash my inner goddess to myself by writing and attempting to understand the world I live in while learning about who I am and my purpose in the world I live in, it usually happens at night, at my desk when I’m naked and full of wine. I get into touch with my inner goddess to the people (the separation is necessary) by making sure their voices are heard in a proper, proactive and productive light. I won’t stop talking, listening or observing till a person has figured out why they are here on their earth and what makes them happy. We get so caught up in pleasing others that we forget who we are and how we want to affect the ones around us. I’m tired of seeing people who are not full of light and spirit but are full of obligations, word vomit, foreign voices, sadness and ego. I want everyone to be free. This also usually happens at night when I am full of wine, and depending on who the person is I may be naked.
What is your Goddess superpower?
My goddess superpower are my eyes. As a little girl I never talked much, so I communicated with my eyes. I don’t have to say much for a person to know how I’m feeling.
Will You join us in the sacred twerk circle?
So I'm just learning how to twerk fluidly but I am Jamaican so you know theres no hinges on this waist.

About Goddess of the Week
“A Goddess is the form that a feminine archetype may take. Goddess types represent models of ways of being and behaving that we women all share and recognize from the collective unconscious. In fairy tales this archetype may be revealed to us as a queen, a princess or a witch. Goddesses, as a feminine archetype, remain alive to this day in the psychology of women; and, depending upon which energies are more pronounced, influence her personality with a distinct character, a way of being, a way of relating in the world a way of offering her special gifts.” - N. Bennett
