Ep 32 Walking the Path of the Priestess: An Interview with Kate
In this episode of The Reclamation Hour, we do something a little different, an interview with Kate - where she share’s her personal experiences being called to, and stepping onto, the priestess path.Â
We discuss how to walk the priestess path with reverence, discernment, and clarity—from spiritual hygiene to honoring deities, avoiding cultural appropriation, and using tools like tarot for self-inquiry. This heartfelt and grounded conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own spiritual leadership, embodiment, and sacred service in the world.
We talk about:
What a priestess is and what her role isÂ
What this path looks like and what’s required to walk it with reverence and integrity
What it takes to step onto the priestess path and where the community drops the ball when it comes to training priestesses

Ep 31 When the Moon Turns Red: Eclipses as Cosmic Initiations
In this episode of The Reclamation Hour, we’re talking all about eclipses. We’re talking cultural myths, historical rituals, and modern practices for harnessing eclipse energy, especially as it relates to the sacred feminine, ancestral healing, and personal sovereignty.
We are also talking about the upcoming eclipse season, how to prepare your nervous system, and why this time is better for release and reflection than manifestation.
We cover:
Eclipses represent portals of transformation—expect disruption, insight, and change.
In astrology, eclipses align with the North and South Nodes—points of karmic beginnings and endings.
Many cultures viewed eclipses as omens or divine interventions, especially blood moons.
Eclipse energy is chaotic but catalytic—it’s a time to pause, not push.
The sacred feminine is deeply woven into eclipse lore—death, rebirth, and re-wilding.
Decluttering, purification, and grounding rituals are ideal during this time.
The Virgo new moon calls for deep energetic and emotional cleansing.
Eclipse season brings collective rewiring—including ancestral and societal healing.
Sovereignty requires deconditioning from inherited belief systems.
Bodies of water may reflect energetic shifts—watch for emotional or intuitive disruptions.
Avoid overcommitment; instead, anchor your practices in embodiment and rest.
Spiritual practitioners are being called to integrate activism and integrity.
Money and value are not inherently linked—eclipse energy invites a new lens.
