Freya's 5 Lessons in Power- Episode 234
Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy Podcast
This week Morgan is diving into working with Freya, the Norse goddess of love, war, and magick, but not in the way you'd expect. This episode skips her correspondences and mythology (you can find those linked below) and goes straight into her energy: five specific ways Freya can show up in your life and your practice. Morgan breaks down how Freya's duality gives you permission to hold contradictions instead of picking a side, why her connection to Seiðr makes her a goddess of reclaiming witchcraft itself, and how her role riding into battle alongside Odin ties directly to boundary setting and...

They talk about what priestessing really means at its core, the vision that led Annwyn to leave her life in the States behind, the ley lines running through Glastonbury, and what it actually looks like to live a devoted, sacred life day to day.

info_outlineFor generations, Medusa has been remembered as a monster from Greek mythology: a snake-haired Gorgon whose gaze could turn men to stone. But when you look deeper into her story, a very different narrative begins to emerge.
In this episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked & Witchy, Morgan explores Medusa through a modern witchcraft lens, reclaiming her as a powerful symbol of feminine sovereignty, sacred rage, protection, and survival. Rather than simply retelling the myth, this episode examines the different origin stories surrounding Medusa and how modern witches are reinterpreting her energy as that of a protector and guardian rather than a villain.
Morgan also shares how Medusa has become a modern goddess figure for many witches today, representing the reclamation of power after trauma, the right to express anger, and the strength that comes from setting unbreakable boundaries.
You’ll also learn practical ways to work with Medusa in your magickal practice, including altar ideas, symbols associated with her energy, herbs and crystals connected to her power, and how to respectfully build a relationship with her as a deity.
This episode is perfect for witches who feel drawn to themes of protection, sacred rage, personal sovereignty, and reclaiming their voice.
In this episode, Morgan discusses:
- The different origin stories of Medusa in Greek mythology
- Why Medusa is being reclaimed as a modern goddess
- The symbolism of Medusa in feminine power and sacred rage
- Medusa as a protector and guardian energy
- Symbols, herbs, and crystals associated with Medusa
- How modern witches can work with Medusa in their magickal practice
- Why building a relationship with a deity matters before asking for help in spellwork
Medusa’s story is no longer just about a monster defeated by a hero. For many witches today, she has become a symbol of survival, transformation, and unapologetic feminine power.
