#77 Ancient Goddess Magic with Vanessa Lavallée

The Conscious Diva

In this episode, ancient magic enthusiast and animist practitioner, Vanessa Lavallée joins me to talk about her new book Ancient Goddess Magic: Invoking the Queens of the Heavens.

We discuss the celestial roots of astral magic and the influential goddesses in many classical and ancient Middle Eastern and Pagan cultures.

Highlights include:

• The Legend of Corona Borealis and other constellations.
• The Lady of the Sea, and who is the Goddess Inanna?

• Vanessa shares a much-needed remembrance of the many faces of the goddess, exploring how values and perspective have shifted from symbolic significance to a patriarchal perspective.
• Why it is important to remember our ancestral feminine traditions - Particularly as diviners of planetary intelligence.

• How to invoke specific deities based on thousand-year-old rituals and spiritual practices that are still relevant today.

Vanessa holds a master’s degree in ancient religions and is working towards a doctorate in religious studies. She lives in Montreal, Canada.
