Over at Magpies and Ladders they love a good chat… And, well, it’s no secret that I do too… So please find my interview with this fantastic blog, where I discuss the work I do with Goddess Acumen, why I do it, and why it’s so effective… http://magpiesandladders.com/2015/04/07/lets-talk-goddess-acumen-with-helen-johnson/ Enjoy! With much love, Helen x Oxford philosophy…

In this post I am redirecting you to the wonderful Project Love. Their venture is all about helping women to get ready for love by BECOMING love and embracing life. I wrote a piece for them asking which Goddess is ruling your life life and what does she need? I’d love to share it with…

On the face of it, Artemis and Persephone have very little in common. So much so that it is hard to see how they could work together. Artemis is all about the wilds, nature, and being in her body. She enjoys physical exertion and the freedom of roaming a rugged terrain. Persephone, on the other…

If Aphrodite is your good time goddess then Hera is your goddess of responsibility. No wonder these two clash. Interestingly, in the myths, Hera is the wife of Zeus – she has the security and social standing that comes with marriage but it essentially lacks all the elements that drive Aphrodite – passion, love, romance.…

Demeter is the goddess of motherhood and oversees the reproductive cycles of both women and nature. She is in touch with the earth and with the body, which is necessary for her to fulfil her role as nurturer. Demeter women feel that their purpose in life is to become a mother and are likely to be…

Persephone is the goddess of the dead and the underworld, the realm of the mystical and of the departed. She is very inward looking and has an unassuming manner. She possesses a mysterious charm and intensity and has an ethereal quality; there is even perhaps an air of vulnerability about her. In fact, Persephone is…

  Artemis is a wild woman and with her bow and arrow she is both a protector and a hunter. A modern day expression of Artemis would be something like the character of Katniss in ‘The Hunger Games’ – solitary, athletic, brave, and at home in nature. However, Artemis is more physical, more in sync…
