Goddess, Witch, Woman | ep. 16 - the fairest of them all | mother, daughter, mirror

In this episode of Goddess, Witch, Woman, we descend into the glass coffin and meet the most famous witch of them all — the Evil Queen of Snow White. Drawing from Clarissa Pinkola EstĂ©s, Maria Tatar, Sandra Gilbert & Susan Gubar, and ancient goddess myths, we explore what lies beneath her envy: the ache of aging, the inheritance of silence, and the shadow of the mother. We go deep in: The mirror as patriarchal gaze Adolescence and menopause as mirrored initiations The Queen’s hunger and transformation into the Hag The symbolism of the apple, comb, and laces Hera and Hebe as mythic parallels The enduring allure of the Evil Queen Listen if you love: fairy tales, mythic psychology, women’s archetypes, feminist storytelling, or Jungian depth work.

Goddess, Witch, Woman | ep. 13 - Baba Yaga - death grandma, devourer, witch

In the shadowy forest of Slavic folktales, Baba Yaga waits — death crone, devourer, and initiator. In this episode, we journey through her myths, symbolism, and archetypal wisdom. Why does she frighten us? What does she demand? And what do we gain if we pass her tests? We explore the tale of Vasalisa the Wise through the lens of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola EstĂ©s, look at the origins of Baba Yaga’s name, her connection to death, nature, wild wisdom, and why she still matters — maybe more than ever. 🔼 Featuring:– Myth and analysis of Vasalisa the Wise– Origins and etymology of Baba Yaga– Archetypal initiation and the wild feminine– Symbolism of spinning, fire, skulls, and ritual tasks– Folktales, folklore, and fierce grandmothers 📚 References & inspirations:‱ Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola EstĂ©s ‱ Baba Yaga: The Wild Witch of the East in Russian Fairy Tales by Andreas Johns ‱ The Maiden King by Robert Bly and Marion Woodman wonderful fiction: ‱ Ask Baba Yaga: Otherworldly Advice for Everyday Troubles / by Taisia Kitaiskaia ‱ The Witch and the Tsar by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore ‱ The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson💌 Subscribe to my newsletter at mariannaportela.substack.com [https://mariannaportela.substack.com] for more myth, ritual, and audio blessings.

Goddess, Witch, Woman | ep.12 what makes a witch

What Makes a Witch? | Episode 12In this threshold episode of Goddess, Witch, Woman, we begin a new series. One that turns the spiral from goddess to witch — from devotion to accusation, from memory to myth. We trace her steps through folktale, persecution, and power. From Baba Yaga to Hecate. From bruxa to crone. From burning times to broomsticks. This is a remembrance of all she is: shadow and healer, heretic and wise woman. A witness to what was done — and what still stirs. Includes references to Silvia Federici, Clarissa Pinkola EstĂ©s, Sharon Blackie, Jean Shinoda Bolen, and more. Mentioned books:– Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici– Hagitude by Sharon Blackie– Crones Don’t Whine by Jean Shinoda Bolen– Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola EstĂ©s Want to go deeper?🔼 subscribe to mariannaportela.substack.com This is a public episode.
