Episode Details

In this final episode of Season 1, we journey into the celestial realms of fate and destiny with Arianrhod, Welsh goddess of the moon, the stars, of weaving, and of death and rebirth. We hear her story adapted from the Mabinogion of her being called to court as a virgin goddess to give power to the realm but being tricked by her brother Gwydion, giving birth to two sons with no warning and then fleeing to the sea to heal and find a realm of her own to live in peace and sisterhood.

We learn of how we can honour her best and receive her guidance, and then continue our journey into the starry realms to meet her in her tower of light and find our own constellation to serve as a beacon for when we are lost and need to search for our own wisdom.

The episode concludes with an original song called written and recorded by Bronwyn called "As Above, So Below", inspired by the Emerald Tablet (an ancient Hermetic text that contains the secret laws of the universe...).

Journal Prompts:

1. If you were entirely unapologetic about prioritizing your own peace, creativity, and joy, what is the very first change you would make in your daily routine?
2. Arianrhod sets strict boundaries and refuses to be defined by the expectations or traps of others. Where in your life are you currently tolerating someone else's projection or the "curse" of who you should be? How might you begin to break free from it?
3. Before a new cycle begins, the old must be cleared away and this is a perfect time of year to do so with the approach of Samhain. What identity, habit, or belief system are you currently outgrowing that is holding you back and needs to be left behind?
4. If you stepped back and looked at your life’s challenges from a cosmic, bird's-eye view, what major lesson or pattern might your soul be trying to master in this life?
