In this episode of The Sacred Places Podcast, I am joined by author, priestess, and Welsh mythologist Jhenah Telyndru for a magical conversation about the goddesses Rhiannon and Blodeuwedd and the sacred land of Wales where their presence still echoes.

Together, we explore Welsh mythology, goddess traditions, sovereignty, and the deep spiritual importance of place. What does it mean to be in relationship with a deity or with a landscape? How do stories live on through land, memory, and myth?

Whether you're drawn to Celtic goddess spirituality, planning a pilgrimage to sacred sites in Wales, or simply curious about the deeper meaning behind Rhiannon and Blodeuwedd’s stories, this episode offers a beautiful invitation into the mystical and the wild.

Can you truly connect with land spirits when you’re always on the move?

In this episode of Seeking Numina: The Sacred Places Podcast, I answer a heartfelt listener question from Natasha, a nomadic spiritual practitioner living in an RV with her family. With a new location each week, Natasha wonders how to build meaningful spiritual connection to the land without putting down physical roots.

I'm so excited to take this opportunity to share with you all how I connect with land as a nomad myself! We will be talking about travel altars, sacred reciprocity with the land, astral projection, and more!

What happens when a dream and a longing for connection cross paths under the light of the Moon?

In this episode of Seeking Numina: The Sacred Places Podcast, we explore the origin story of We'Moon, the beloved lunar calendar and global sisterhood that blossomed out of women’s land communities in the 1980s. Through the voices of three generations of women who helped shape and sustain We’Moon, we trace the legacy of sacred connection: from a hitchhiking journey through Europe to the founding of the first We’Moon land in Oregon.

We’Moon has never been about profit. It has always been about remembrance and in honor of lunar wisdom, community care, and cross-cultural connection. Together, we reflect on what it means to build sacred space not just with land, but with shared spirit.

Join us as we listen to the stories behind the calendar, the land, and the movement that continues to nourish women around the world today.

From ancient temples to tiny bedside altars, humans have always created spaces to meet the divine. But are these spaces truly sacred, or is sacredness reserved for untouched forests, oceans, and mountaintops?

In this heartfelt solo episode, I share:

🌿 The spiritual power of intentional spaces
🕯️ Stories of altars, gardens, and the magic of what we build
💧 The gifts of natural sacred places like Bath, UK and Stonehenge
🏡 Why even our homes can be alive with spirit
💬 And why sacredness has never been limited to the wild

If you’ve ever doubted whether your man-made space is “spiritual enough,” this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt called to connect with a sacred place, only to feel an invisible barrier pushing you away? In this episode of Seeking Numina: The Sacred Places Podcast, we’re diving into why land spirits sometimes say “no” when we try to reach out.

Whether it’s an ancient forest, a quiet beach, or a place that holds personal significance, the energy of the land might feel welcoming or they may feel resistant. Why do some places feel open and others closed off? Could it be a matter of safety, timing, or something even deeper?

Join me as I share stories from my own practice and explore the reasons why land spirits might set boundaries. Plus, learn how to honor those boundaries while still nurturing your spiritual connection.

Tune in to hear more, and let me know, have you ever felt a “no” from the land spirits?

In this enchanting episode, let’s discuss the sacred waters of Bath, England, where history, myth, and magic converge. Joined by author and high priestess Rachel Patterson, we uncover the mystery of Sulis Minerva: the ancient goddess of the hot springs.

Bath is more than a picturesque destination; it is England’s only natural hot spring, a place where the land itself holds memory. As we explore the legend of King Bladud, the temples, and the hidden magic woven into the city’s limestone foundation, we begin to understand why this place has been revered for centuries.

From ancient altars to mysterious inscriptions that read “Water is best,” we dive into the unseen power of spirits of place and how sacred sites continue to call to us across time.

✨ In this episode, we explore:
💧 Who was Sulis Minerva, and why was she worshiped here?
💧 How do the sacred waters of Bath hold healing energy?
💧 What can ancient legends teach us about modern spirituality?

Bath has long been a place of pilgrimage, transformation, and devotion. Join me as we step into its mystical past and uncover what these waters have to reveal.
