Speaker 2: things like that, she comes to them and crossroads of
Speaker 2: when they're making decisions.
Speaker 3: Which is interesting that she has.
Speaker 2: The black dog because then you think about the Black

Speaker 3: That's how they describe the depression. Yeah, so we'll talk
Speaker 3: about her.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to get into her, which is very cool.

Speaker 1: Troy to b and also on Instagram Sherry's Dickinson, Shannon Valence,
Speaker 1: and Diana Marketta. Now, the episode about you showing off
Speaker 1: with your pig Latin was well received.
Speaker 4: Apparently it's very educational. That's definitely a joke. Absolutely, don't.
Speaker 2: I had an old school friend reach out and she
Speaker 2: said I could never do that, and she said I
Speaker 2: always used to, you know, feel silly because you guys.
Speaker 2: Because I had another school friend reach out and say, yeah,
Speaker 2: I remember when we used to do it. And I
Speaker 2: had another one said I just used to pretend on
Speaker 2: you what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: That's so funny. I love it. You can also hit
Speaker 4: us up on Spotify as well.
Speaker 1: There's an English pagan witch who's hit us up, which
Speaker 1: is good. The may pole is often known as representation
Speaker 1: of male and female energies coming together. As the pole
Speaker 1: is thrust into the earth. The ribbons can represent different things.
Speaker 1: And be woven into a spell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why always spoke about the may pole in episode
Speaker 2: Oh god, there's been something too two? I think two
Speaker 2: or three. You want to go back and have a listen.
Speaker 1: Also, Veronica has said as well that she's powered through
Speaker 1: all the podcasts whilst doing her nightly chores. Once again,
Speaker 1: we're with someone as they're cleaning. Had my first calling
Speaker 1: at five and still remember it clearly some forty years later.
Speaker 1: Talking about past lives. My four year old, who loves crystals,
Speaker 1: feathers and making spell jars, often tells me stories about
Speaker 1: before you were my mum.
Speaker 3: Oh that's crazy. We need to chat chat with her,
Speaker 3: have a chat.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: We do love all of your comments, so please keep
Speaker 1: them coming, and of course remember to share the podcast
Speaker 1: with anyone who loves stupid behavior.
Speaker 4: All right, what are we talking about today?
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna talk about Hega Day. So she's
Speaker 2: an ancient goddess from the Greek religion. She's mostly associated
Speaker 2: with magic and witchcraft, and mainly crossroads. So she is
Speaker 2: known as the Maiden Mother and Crone. So that's why
Speaker 2: a lot of witches like to use her as her deity.
Speaker 2: She often is representing her symbols are normally layered, so
Speaker 2: she has she lights the way.
Speaker 3: That's why she's.
Speaker 4: Got the two two candles, two candles.
Speaker 2: She rules the thresh roads, the thresh holds, the crossroads,
Speaker 2: the doorways, the transitions in life, birth, change, and death.
Speaker 2: That's why she's often invoked in major life shifts. She
Speaker 2: gives guidance and protection. Even though she has an eerie association.
Speaker 2: She looks a bit scary, doesn't she does. She's very
Speaker 2: much about uncovering what's hidden. So she's a really good
Speaker 2: shadow goddess. So kind of wanting to bring forward and
Speaker 2: work with your shadow self. Again, we were talking about
Speaker 2: the things that you need help with, she's certainly there
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: She has those four arms, Michelle.
Speaker 1: She has two that are holding the candles, but then
Speaker 1: another one another two here, one holding a.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is that?
Speaker 4: Is that a scorpion or is it a knife?
Speaker 3: She has a knife.
Speaker 2: She has a knife, and she has a scorpion, and
Speaker 2: she has two black dogs that normally come with her there,
Speaker 2: and she holds keys.
Speaker 3: So the keys are.
Speaker 2: Unlocking knowledge, knowledgeable path So if you're finding that something,
Speaker 2: you're not getting something, you can call on this goddess
Speaker 2: and she will help you find it. So her number
Speaker 2: is three. So she's the Maiden, the Mother, and the crone.
Speaker 2: She's also even was called upon through when there was
Speaker 2: walls and things like that, So she was called upon
Speaker 2: to help them and light their way, especially in battlefield
Speaker 2: where they were feeling that they couldn't see anything, and
Speaker 2: she was known as the mother to come to light
Speaker 2: the way. So often people would recite her in hymns.
Speaker 2: In the Pagans speak their intentions loud, she was known
Speaker 2: as Oracle. Now she loves the offerings of garlic and honey.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, so that's what you'd put on the
Speaker 2: altar for her for bringing her the shadow work is
Speaker 2: a really good thing for her when you call upon
Speaker 2: her to help you through.
Speaker 3: A dark passage.
Speaker 2: But look, I did do it a guide of what
Speaker 2: you could do, so that sort of everyone can look up.
Speaker 2: She's but basically today which is will use her as
Speaker 2: a symbol of inner strength. They bring her into their
Speaker 2: intuition and if they're wanting to transform something, she's a
Speaker 2: great deity to continue through the unknown, especially if you're
Speaker 2: wanting courage to move forward with something that you seeming
Speaker 2: is not clear. Now what you'll need is a candle
Speaker 2: and a quiet space, a key, which is really good,
Speaker 2: and a paper and pen.
Speaker 3: What's really good.
Speaker 2: If you've got a decision to make again, you call
Speaker 2: her out and you write down what the decision is,
Speaker 2: and you light the candle. You let the candle grow out,
Speaker 2: blow out, and then you pop the actual piece of paper.
Speaker 2: You go towards you and you put it under your bed,
Speaker 2: under your pillow, and you sleep on it.
Speaker 3: So you know that old saying of sleep upon it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so sleep on it.
Speaker 2: So I want you to sleep on it, and you'll
Speaker 2: find that through that night that you've called that she
Speaker 2: will either bring a dream or she'll bring something, or
Speaker 2: in the morning you'll feel that, okay, this has been
Speaker 2: worked out. I know what to do intuitively, it will happen.
Speaker 2: So I often do that. That's a really easy way
Speaker 2: to just sort of bring her in. I do do
Speaker 2: do crossroads if I'm feeling like I haven't I've got
Speaker 2: a decision to make and I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: But she's the one that sits on my altar. So
Speaker 3: I brought her from home.
Speaker 1: So when you say just to go back as well,
Speaker 1: if you missed it along the way. When you're saying
Speaker 1: to call her in, to bring her in, what do
Speaker 1: you do to do.
Speaker 2: That, Well, it just depends to me and not everybody
Speaker 2: sort of wanting to call her in. You just call
Speaker 2: her name, so you light a candle and you take
Speaker 2: a moment to settle. And the goal here is not
Speaker 2: to focus on anything supernatural, but just focus on the
Speaker 2: fact that you have a decision to make.
Speaker 3: So what I'm trying to do is.
Speaker 2: Just for every normal, everyday person out there that's not
Speaker 2: really into witchcraft. It doesn't want to get out and
Speaker 2: do a big circle and call her in and.
Speaker 3: Things like that.
Speaker 4: Get ned in the moonlight, get neud in the moonlight.
Speaker 2: This is more about wanting a Pacific specific Here we
Speaker 2: go again.
Speaker 3: Question answered.
Speaker 2: So you just call her in at crossroads and you
Speaker 2: can say, guide me as I stand between past, help
Speaker 2: me see clearly as I cannot see or understand my own.
Speaker 2: You can even hold a key if you want to
Speaker 2: put the key under your pillow as well so she
Speaker 2: can access the key. But really, at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, it's about you asking her to come through.
Speaker 2: You blow the candle out before you go to bed,
Speaker 2: you fold the paper three times towards you with the
Speaker 2: question that you need help with, and then you pop
Speaker 2: it under your bed. So it's a bit like a prayer.
Speaker 2: So I mean a lot of people go to bed.
Speaker 2: Before they go to bed, they do a prayer. This
Speaker 2: is just a way of doing it, and you sleep
Speaker 2: on it. So everything we know, like you don't argue
Speaker 2: before you go to bed, often sleep on something you know,
Speaker 2: everything's much better in the morning. But if you've actually
Speaker 2: made a conscious effort to call in the Keeper of
Speaker 2: the Crossroads to help you with a key, with the
Speaker 2: knowledge you know, you will wake up in the morning
Speaker 2: and have a more clear decisive answer.
Speaker 3: Of where you should go.
Speaker 1: Wonderful. We'd love to hear your thoughts on that as well.
Speaker 4: And a lot of.
Speaker 2: People do have her as their deity if they're working
Speaker 2: with deities. I have her on my I call her
Speaker 2: in and the other goddess I like to work with
Speaker 2: is Iss as well. If you want to do something
Speaker 2: more traditional, like the witches out there and wanting to
Speaker 2: do something more traditional, then you can just take leave
Speaker 2: offerings to Crossroads and you can recite ask me or
Speaker 2: ask for protection from her. If you wanted to do
Speaker 2: something like that. Hegate's a really good thing too. Have
Speaker 2: you if you've ever got a problem and you want
Speaker 2: to get rid of a problem, you can.
Speaker 3: Actually go to crosswork crossroads yourself.
Speaker 4: So you actually go to a physical crossroads.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a physical crossroad.
Speaker 2: You take your leaves and you sprinkle your leaves around
Speaker 2: and you say, I call in a hegate, I call
Speaker 2: in come now and help me. You can even have
Speaker 2: a key with you with that and ask the question
Speaker 2: at the crossroads when you know it's more about being
Speaker 2: the symbols, you know, things like that symbolic. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: something you can certainly do as well. So have you've
Speaker 2: got any stories or you've got any pictures of your
Speaker 2: alter and if you do have hegatay on there, send
Speaker 2: them in so we can actually have a look at
Speaker 2: that as well, because we were going to talk about
Speaker 2: you know, other altars and other goddesses and things like that.
Speaker 2: But I mean I do work with her, but as
Speaker 2: I said, I work with Isis too, so we might
Speaker 2: want to bring her in it as well, and I'll come.
Speaker 1: Up with and every altar would be incredibly personal as well.
Speaker 1: It's for you, it's for what you believe in, as well,
Speaker 1: so you know, if you'd like to share those photos
Speaker 1: with us as we can discuss it, and we can
Speaker 1: even maybe get you on the podcast to talk about
Speaker 1: why you've chosen those things for.
Speaker 4: Your old time. Yeah, exactly, all right, star girl get Rid,
Speaker 4: let's have.
Speaker 3: A look at the stars. I cant thin she knows.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, Aries, momentum picks up, but not everything needs to
Speaker 2: be rushed. You'll get further by choosing your battles wisely
Speaker 2: instead of charging at everything at once.
Speaker 3: I understand that because I'm an Aries.
Speaker 2: Taurus tauriss tis, there's a focus on self worth and
Speaker 2: what you truly value. You might reassess a comment financial
Speaker 2: or emotional loads this week and make a decision that is.
Speaker 3: Better supported long term through comfort. Makes makes sense?
Speaker 4: It does?
Speaker 3: It does?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, unless you miss words.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't miss wortz. I didn't write down properly.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: What it means is commit to financial and emotional gains
Speaker 2: and make a decision.
Speaker 3: That will be long term that will give you comfort.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, that's what that means, all right. I did
Speaker 2: not write that down properly. My brain was going very quickly, Geminar.
Speaker 2: It is your season and.
Speaker 3: You will feel it.
Speaker 2: Confidence and curiosity are high, making this a great time
Speaker 2: to start something new or put yourself out there more boldly.
Speaker 2: Cancer a quieter, more reflective mood sets in. You may
Speaker 2: prefer your own space, using this time to process recent
Speaker 2: events and recharge before things pick up again.
Speaker 3: Leo.
Speaker 2: Connection mattered this week, whether it's friendships or networks. Someone
Speaker 2: around you could open a door if you're willing to
Speaker 2: celebrate or even lead or go through it. Enjoy Virgo.
Speaker 2: You're being noticed, especially in work or responsibilities. That does
Speaker 2: not make sense.
Speaker 3: That is you time I got us growing up.
Speaker 1: I'm being noticed at work and responsibilities okay.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay. You're being noticed especially.
Speaker 2: At work okay, and the responsibilities that you have.
Speaker 4: It's interesting they're noticing you.
Speaker 3: It's a chance to step up.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding?
Speaker 3: Who wrote this ship?
Speaker 4: You did?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 2: But also a reminder not to be overly critical of
Speaker 2: yourself in the process.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that is so true about you.
Speaker 4: Okay, that is so nice.
Speaker 3: I'm really good at this ship?
Speaker 2: Did it?
Speaker 4: I have to step up? How much more can I?
Speaker 3: That's what I'm laughing about. It it's a chance to
Speaker 3: step up. That means, but it's also a reminder not to.
Speaker 2: Be overly critical of yourself in the I understand that, right,
Speaker 2: I understand the fact that you've been stepping up for
Speaker 2: ages and that you're obviously you're You're one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Is someone's like, you're one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: My five percent? Is someone's hundred percent?
Speaker 3: No, it's the other way around. Someone's one hundred percent
Speaker 3: is you one hundred and fifty percent?
Speaker 2: So therefore, you can be self critical aboutthing you're doing,
Speaker 2: which is ridiculous because technically you should just step up
Speaker 2: and just not worry about it because you're doing more
Speaker 2: than what everybody else is doing.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Does that make sense?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Libra.
Speaker 2: You're craving a change of scenery or mindset. Even small
Speaker 2: shifts like learning something new or breaking routine can refresh
Speaker 2: your perspective in a big way. Scorpio intensity rises, but
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily a bad thing. You're being pushed to
Speaker 2: confront something honestly, which can lead to a powerful breakthrough.
Speaker 2: Sagittarius relationships take center stage. You may need to meet
Speaker 2: someone halfway or have an important conversation that clears the air. Capricorn,
Speaker 2: daily routines and habits are in focus. This is a
Speaker 2: strong week for getting organized, improving health habits, or streamlining
