The goddesses were never gone — only silenced, renamed, or buried. In this episode, Cyren Naôs and astrologer Morgan Leigh McKenna explore Hera/Juno, Saturn as the Bone Mother, and Sedna of the deep seas, weaving myth and astrology into the body. Together they ask: what does it mean to reclaim the sacred feminine as nonbinary, embodied, and sovereign?
The goddesses are not dead. They were buried, renamed, domesticated, and cut apart, but their bones still hum beneath us. In this conversation with evolutionary astrologer Morgan Leigh McKenna, we unearth them — not as museum relics, but as living forces who demand embodiment.
We begin with Hera, once maligned as jealous wife, reborn as Juno the asteroid, guardian of sacred contracts and self-dignity. We listen to Saturn as the Bone Mother, who does not punish but steadies — structure as ancient scaffolding, a spine of time itself. We descend with Sedna, the Inuit sea goddess whose betrayal and dismemberment made her the marrow of the deep — a story of loss that becomes initiation.
This is not an academic reclamation; it is flesh, bone, and breath. Together we ask:
What happens when we dissolve the rigid triad of heaven, earth, and underworld?
How do we re-member the sacred feminine as nonbinary, woven of eros and sovereignty, beyond the categories we inherited?
Why is embodiment the truest altar of reclamation — the roar, the gesture, the pulse that brings the goddess back into the room?
We draw from the work of Demetra George (Asteroid Goddesses), Charlene Spretnak (The Lost Goddesses of Early Greece), and Marija Gimbutas (The Living Goddesses, The Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe) to remember what was hidden, and to step again into the mythic body.
The goddesses rise when we let them rise in us.
